Well, I am still waiting for a reliable power-control champ. This discussion is to seek help on which other champs (if I managed to obtain any at all) could be used to manage opponent's power bar and especially against opponent buffed by Spite.
Firstly, leaving out the tried and trusted champs - Doctor Voodoo, Hawkeye, Magik, Vision (both). Also excluding Scarlet Witch, Star-Lord, Winter Soldier (random effect).
Next, as I don't have the champs, I am unsure whether the abilities (only parts that I think are relevant is stated) are accurately described. Thanks to correct them.
Also, do assist to include any other champ/(s) that I have missed.
Here is the list. Please assist to rank them based on practical gameplay experience.

special 2 - depletes up to 59% of the target's max power

GR isn't that great (at power control), but is still a kickass champ and a great choice to rank up because he does everything.
Psylocke has the potential for 100% power control, but it's really fiddly to get it set up right... especially against tougher AI. Low priority to rank up.
Stark spider is actually pretty tough to use effectively. Your close evade needs to be on point, but that heavy can save your butt if you catch a combo and they're close to 3 bars.
Dorm you can Medium-Medium combo up to your SP2 and the Ai will never see a special the whole fight. Throw in a couple parry-heavy attacks and the damage just goes up. Plus his SP1 has nullify.
Need to study more.
In terms of power control, I'd argue Dorm is better than magik and the best in the game. Magik needs to get to her SP2 to power lock and can maintain it for the entire fight. Dorm has to get to his sp2 also for his power lock.
The difference being that Dorm can just use medium attacks to get to that SP2, and by doing that Dorm doesn't charge any power to the enemy while getting to the sp2.
It's a minor difference, but if you're on a power gain node or something, Dorm is easier to get to the power lock by just sticking with medium attacks until his sp2 is charged.
