Energy Absorption

Ability to absorb forms of kinetic energy into oneself and utilize it in some way. Also known as Kinetic Absorption.

Capability
The user can absorb kinetic energy into their body and use in many ways, such as by converting it into physical strength or using it to power energy blasts.

Can be converted in the body to discharge as waves or orbs of kinetic energy.

Variations
Some users of this abilty can also use these, as well as others whom have only one of these as their ability:
 * Kinetic Metabolism: Shaw can forgo sleep if he receives enough kinetic energy. Often he will have his mercenaries pummel him to give him enough stored energy that he need not sleep for some time.


 * Enhanced Durability: Shaw can still be crushed/cut, but cuts are superficial because he saps the blade of all its thrusting/cutting energy. Shaw is adept at not letting enemies realize his power until they have hit him one too many times. Hitting Shaw is often described as "punching a mattress". If properly energized, Shaw can lift and hold approximately one hundred times his weight. If bound, he can be punched by a teammate until he is strong enough to break the bonds. He is also adept at taunting foes into attacking him.


 * Enhanced Speed: When he has absorbed kinetic energy, Shaw's speed is increased.


 * Enhanced Stamina: Shaw's stamina in increased beyond normal human levels when he absorbs kinetic energy.


 * Accelerated Healing:: Shaw has healed from being hit repeatedly in the nose by Colossus in less than a few hours.


 * Kinetic Energy Contact: After being repeatedly hit by Colossus once, Shaw simply touched Colossus' head and Colossus' nose started to bleed.
