The answer is exactly the one you expected : no ^ ^ I gave Lawrence the simplest/primest conceivable origin to give his natural powers maximal compatibility and ensure they always work perfectly in any circumstances. This way he can absorb anything and anyone without fail nor exception, which means he doesn't have to "get stronger" like the vast majority of protagonists, and can just relax and enjoy life at his own pace without a care in the world :)

Absorbed targets notably cease to exist altogether while Lawrence inherits their complete retroactive knowledge (body, mind, soul, powers, history, etc.) and the raw materials they were made of (automatically converted into a single standard resource). So recovering from it is fundamentally impossible, as everything they were has been completely assimilated.
