There are eight powers you can upgrade, all of which require data clusters to purchase. Once you're able to freeroam, it's highly suggested that you work towards fully upgrading your Super Sprint and Jump powers, since those are movement based and will thus allow you to get the rest of the clusters much easier. You'll need almost all the clusters to get all the upgrades, and you'll need all the upgrades for an achievement. You also need to collect every single data cluster anyway, so you'll be killing several birds with a few stones.
Note: Upgrades listed as free or obtained through progression are not listed, since those are earned in means unrelated to data clusters. Some of the greater ones are given to you for helping out your fellow Saints and doing other quests and challenges, so make sure you're doing as much as you can.
