Background

Power Absorption is the ability not only to copy the abilities of others but also to steal them for one's own use, thus depriving the original holder of his powers while having access to more. This case may not be accomplished by a literal absorption, but it may be among a number of other potential means. The user's copied abilities may be inferior to the original or may only be retained for a short time, but others may actually enhance those powers.

Users


Limitations

Even though they may copy the capabilities of the ability, they may not be able to copy all its destructive power.
