That's for bios and synopses. Tupka is totally right with that. "Solovar beat up Grodd and helped the Flash" is better for a character's history than "Solovar beats up Grodd and helps the Flash".

However, powers and abilities don't usually change issue-to-issue like you said. Most of the time, those things stick with the character. In that case, those should be present tense. Like, "Batman is a master hand-to-hand combatant". Solovar absorbs his people's thoughts all the time. Having that be past tense implies that he doesn't do that anymore, when he actually does.
