Absorbing Replication

The ability to absorb and replicate anything. Combination of Absorption, Adaptive Replication and Shapeshifting. Advanced version of Digestive Assimilation.

Also Called

 * Ultimate Lifeform
 * Ultimate Predator

Capabilities
Users can absorb any material/phenomenon and replicate its properties within themselves. Said properties may then be encoded for later use and potential combinations.

This makes a very effective defense, as attacks received not only strengthen users instead of hurting them, but even add to their options. It is also very useful to break restrains, as users can simply absorb their way to freedom.

Users may absorb an unnoticeable amount to replicate the targets without damaging them, or assimilate/drain them dry to empower the copied abilities or build up their personal ressources. Some users may even use it as a weapon, literally devouring their opponents alive along with their weapons, armors and powers.

They can also shape their body's form and properties to match the current situation, shapeshift various tools and weapons based on absorbed data, and even recombine assimilated properties into new and more powerful ones.

Advanced users may learn to reverse the process, transfering abilities and various properties to others, and even reconstructing absorbed beings and objects, though both applications directly tap in the user's personal reserves.
