I could argue that Ability Transcendence frees Enhanced Power replication of its weaknesses and countermeasures, meaning it would effectively bypass power-levels, immunities and evasions. I'd love to hear what arguments you have, especially in regards to bypassing power-levels without bordering on Indeterminacy.

What's certain is that the combined onslaught of billions maxed-out abilities would instantly atomize your derisory defenses into oblivion and back ^ ^; Adaptive Power-Level: "Users can spontaneously and quickly increase their power-level to match those of superior opponents and overcome excessive hardships." That means that a "combined onslaught of billions [of] maxed-out abilities", which is against the "No Absolute powers" rule by the way, would be met with the combined resistance of billions maxed-out defenses.

Your combo is pretty good, but it is far from the only effective one as I demonstrated earlier. When have I claimed it was the only effective one?

Now try to honestly imagine the kind of ludicrously over-the-top giga-combos you could make with that many (maxed-out) powers at your disposal, including at the very least thousands of enhanced intelligence, power intuition, tactical analysis and similar abilities.

I'm sorry to spoil your fun, but the odds of your fairly good defense withstanding that kind of offensive is a flat 0% ^ ^; At this point you are basically facing Ajimu Najimi (minus the almighty abilities), and it would take a massive amount of bad faith to pretend that a couple non-almighty powers could possibly stand a chance against an opponent that overwhelmingly superior. Again, Adaptive Power-Level. If you really do have Absolute Intelligence (a.k.a. maxed-out Enhanced Intelligence), which is not allowed, then you'd know that overwhelming me is not the way to go. I myself can think of one major flaw in Preemptive Adaptation that doesn't involve hitting me as hard as you can with as many powers as you can.

IF I approach with the sole intent of copying your powers than your preemptive adaption precognition will have no reason to sound off. Because I'm not threatening your well being. Depends on what you intend to use them for. If you intend to use them in a way that could bring me harm, then you will set off the trigger. Otherwise, then yeah, you'll be able to copy it. But conceding that still leaves me questioning: Assuming that you have to learn the imprinted abilities, would you even understand it as Preemptive Adaptation if you saw me using it or would you imprint the powers I've gained through it? After all, an observer who is unaware of my Preemptive Adaptation could easily mistake me for a user of Power Replication who's just accumulated a lot of powers.

I now have a squad that can sneak up on you, and disrupt you. I would forefeel(?) you making those symbiotes with the intent to use them against me. And since I wouldn't know what they're capable of but would still consider them a threat (my Precognition wouldn't have activated otherwise) I would adapt Sensory to make sure I know when they are coming and how to avoid them.
