Let's simplify each expression one by one.

1. **|-7| - 7**
The absolute value of -7 is 7.
So, |-7| - 7 = 7 - 7 = 0.

2. **2|-7|**
Again, the absolute value of -7 is 7.
So, 2|-7| = 2 * 7 = 14.

3. **(-7)²**
Squaring -7 gives us (-7) * (-7) = 49.

4. **-7²**
Here, we follow the order of operations (exponents before multiplication by -1).
So, -7² = -(7 * 7) = -49.

5. **-7 -|-7|**
The absolute value of -7 is 7.
So, -7 -|-7| = -7 - 7 = -14.

Now, we'll summarize the results:

1. |-7| - 7 = **0**
2. 2|-7| = **14**
3. (-7)² = **49**
4. -7² = **-49**
5. -7 -|-7| = **-14**
