Yet I tend to prefer Absorbing Replication for my own hero, pretty much a power-set of its own with a strong core identity, and lots of evolutive bonuses. True but anything you couild create I could use my manipulation powers to mimic it. Evolve into a giant monster? Ok fine I'll just surround myself with fire and do the same thing.

Insta incineration DYBAD with it I wouldn't even need to fight I would just have to imagine an intense flame capable of incinerating the planet but on your body and poof, gone before you could activate your power.

Edit: does anyone else find it stupid how planet busters like galactis can be beaten by building busters? Anything you throw at my hero will be insta-absorbed/replicated, upgrading both his power-level and options. Your mighty defenses ? All they will do is empower him further while he tears through them like paper. Your hero himself ? The main course. There's just no beating this power, unless you go in full Omnipotence territory.

I get the clear feeling it is ultimately the best compromise between comfortable almightiness (invincible/adaptive) and motivating limitations (earn your upgrades). Then I incinerate the planet, and go into full smoke form to breath while you either suffocate or explode. even if you absorb my fire you can't transform into it and you would suffocate anyway.

If you can absorb powers then that means we would have the same abilities then it would come down to Who is the better user? That would be me, go check out my links to coolcat (the first one) to see just how creative and skilled I would be with my powers.
