The power to replicate the powers of others. Sub-power of Superpower Manipulation. Not to be confused with Power Absorption.

Also Called

 * Ability Copying/Duplication/Imitation/Mimicry/Replication
 * Power Assimilation/Copying/Duplication/Imitation/Mimicry

Capabilities
The user is able to mimic and replicate the powers of others around oneself. Unlike Empathic Mimicry, this is not empathic, but strictly psychic as it simply mimics the psychic energy outputs, genetic structure or superhuman physiology that enable abilities in other people. User can even stack several powers together, which may lead to Power Mixture.

Applications

 * Attack Recording
 * Replicate a person's powers and use it as one's own.
 * Power Echo
 * Power Mixture by combining copied powers

Variations

 * Ability Learning
 * Ability Imprinting
 * Adaptive Power Replication: replicate another power and become immune to that power.
 * Animal Imitation: mimic the traits of animals.This ability can be accompanied by touching the animal first or looking at the animal. One with this ability can mimic the Tri-chromatic color vision of a salamander, the agility of a gazelle, the flight of a hawk, the climbing ability of a spider, or the strength of an ant. Some times users may be able to mimic the skills, traits and or powers of higher order animals like humans or sentient demons.
 * Attribute Replication: replicate the physical and mental attributes of others.
 * Empathic Mimicry: absorb abilities and reproduce them based on the emotions that they are connected with.
 * Fashion-Based Mimicry, also called Wardrobe-Based Mimicry, Clothing-Based Mimicry, Fashion-Based Abilities, Wardrobe-Based Abilities, or Clothing-Based Abilities or Clothing Generation: gain superhuman powers based on the clothes one wears. By simply wearing a tuxedo, one with this ability might gain the ability Spying Skill; by wearing a lab coat and/or glasses, one might gain Superhuman Intelligence; by wearing a chef’s uniform, one might gain supreme cooking skill, and the like. This ability may be accompanied by a Fashion Sense.
