Problem the first, the way you've described this Semblance, this just seems like several powers all rolled into one (super strength, super speed, High Jumps, enhancement of firearms/firepower and energy manipulation at least). Semblances are one power. Even the Schnee's Semblances are just one power, but they use Dust to change how the Glyph interacts with the world.

Problem the second, If you want to go with the Mega Man reference, you can do most of this using Dust and Aura. Most of the Elemental abilities can be done with Dust by a skilled Dust user. Even the energy blast of the basic Mega Buster can be done by firing raw Aura at opponents. It doesn't need to be part of a Semblance. Aura will also cover the durability and healing factor by default.

Lastly, the other powers there that can't be done with Aura or Dust are overbalanced. Lifting a ton and running at highway speeds (I assume for at least decent lengths of time) at Tier 1 is too absurd. Reign it in a bit and again, pick ONE power for a Semblance. I guess you're right.
