Or Fusion-Initiated Strength Turbocharger!

Not really. It's fists. GIANT METAL FISTS!

I have this mental image of a character with normal (for superhero comics, anyway) proportions wearing ABSOLUTELY MASSIVE! mechanical fists, maybe linked by cables or something to a backpack reactor or whatever and using a combat style that depends on the terrifying power of their GIGANTIC FISTS!

Using powers like

Smash! (punch thing)
Crush! (two fists come down on thing)
Turbo Uppercut! (punch enemy upward)
Plasma Shockwave! (conical energy blast with chance to set people on fire)
Rend The Earth! (damage and knockdown from hitting the ground real hard)
Go For Distance! (punch with windup and heavy knockback)
Atomic Fist! (punch with knockdown and temporary radiation debuff aura on target)

And stuff. Is this even remotely feasible? Hecked if I know, probably not, but I had the idea and I had to put it somewhere.

To spice things up... could be like a smash/fire set with small AOEs that hurt the caster too? Explosive Melee or Bakugo the Powerset. =p I forget the dumbass name he gave himself in Season 6. All I recall is it's like the most unheroic callsign ever. There are legit villains in the show with more heroic callsigns.

The Back Alley Marauder has proportionate mighty robot fists! Not Giant ones! Also not sure how well selfdamage powersets would work, though if you partnered it with powers that somehow amped up effectiveness when the character took damage, they could get a solid rampage going.

There are powers that inflict damage to the caster, or debuffs on the caster. But are on the rare side, and not as a crux for a theme as a powerset.

Well, a powerset called "Fistination!" might be an opportunity for you to make one like that, if you wanted to. Maybe it'd have a weapon selection area of the cosmetics for picking what your giant monster fists looked like?
