Absorbing Replication

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

Also Called

 * 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 escape restrains, as users can simply absorb their way to freedom, often gaining indirect immunity to later uses in the process.

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.

They can also shape their bodies and its properties to achieve a variety of purposes and optimally match the current opposition, and even recombine assimilated properties into 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, although both applications directly tap in the user's personal reserves.
