Absorbtion

The power to absorb various energies and then recycle the absorbed power for his or her own use.

capabilities
Able to absorb energies that the user comes in contact with, such as kinetic energy, electrical energy, radiation, or heat energy﻿.

though it is hard to classify for various elemental powers could abosorb their resective elements.

techniques
Capaciter- the most basic and simple being able to store and hold the energy being absorbed for later use.

Kinetic energy absorbtion- absorbing the kinetic energy, or energy in physical movement. being able to absorb the energy of physical attacks, such as punches, bullets, and concussive forces. Making this person very hard to fight or incapacitate.

Physical redirection- Turning the energy absorbed into physical strength and energy and vitality. Sebastion Shaw could absorb kinetic energy, and he would fool enemies into continually striking him thus giving him more strength. if applied mathmatically, if one punch is 40 psi and the absorber is hit three times, then in one punch the absorber could inflict up to 120 psi. The energy absorbed could also increase the persons energy, allowing them to run for extended periods or stay awake for days.

Energy redirection- Taking the energy absorbed, and then redirect it as their own energy. this goes hand in hand with the capaciter ablility. This is possible in two ways.

The various and random energies absorbed can be redirected, such as Fire being redicted as fire, electrical energy as electrical energy ect.

Or taking what ever energy absorbed and rediercting it as the personal energy blast, such as Bishop of the X-Men.

Limitations
Overloading could be a problem, could result in incapacitation or death. Inexpeireinced users can be easily over whelmed. The X-man Strong Guy suffered a near fatal heart attack after absorbing the strength of a bomb after he taken a head on collision with a jet traveling full speed

could immediately tire after expending too much energy

if the person has an energy specific absorbtion (such as kinetic electricity or solar energy) other energies can't be absorbed.
