Personally I think they would eventually evolve into absolute invulnerability, but I’d like to hear your thoughts
My hypothesis is that a user of reactive adaptation would instantly gain absorption immunity to prevent their ability from being taken away. Thoughts?
I believe that we should rename Reactive Adaptation into Adaptivity and ground this ability, while Evolution should be called Reactive Evolution, why? Adaptability or Adaptation is simply adaptation, that is, concentration of all the resources of the organism to adapt to some conditions, for example, when there is a shortage of oxygen you automatically reduce its consumption. But with Reactive Evolution you develop your body, for example, in case of the same oxygen shortage you acquire the ability to do without it at all. That is, Reactive Evolution should bring global changes in the user's existence and is essentially responsible for the character's development in a forced manner. Adaptive Evolution aka Superior Adaptation should have been like this at some point... I realize this could be a simple concept switch and nothing much would change other than the description of powers and the redeployment of ability users, but it's a contradiction in terms in a sense.

Today's character(s) is Callisto.
---------------------------------------------
"Hey, boy. Have you ever wandered why the hell people tremble in fear besides me? It's because anyone is weaker than me, when I need to fight them!"
Callisto is the founder, leader and CEO of the International Union of Heroes, known for being extremely feared by anyone and everyone else.
Name: Callisto
Alias: Boss (by other heroes); The One and Only; Demonic Woman
Gender: Female
Species: Superhuman (mutant - super/variable)
Alignment: Lawful Good
Age: 30 years old
Birthday: August 02nd

Weight: 74kg
Birthplace: Milan, Lombardia, Italy
Affiliation: International Union of Heroes
Occupation: CEO, Founder and Leader of the IUH
Family: Unknown
Base of Operation: City of Heroes, H-Island, Atlantic Ocean
Power-Level: At least 5-C, Variable w/ Reactive Adaptation
Appearance
Callisto is a woman of a tall stature, with a toned and well-defined physique/musculature. She is dark-skinned, has amber eyes, and a very short dark brown hair.
She also has a strange, but cool, sense of clothing. Her clothes consists on a short black coat that resembles a cape over her back, black jeans and a short black tank top that exposes her navel.
Personality
Callisto is an incredibly competent woman who excels at taking control and asserting dominance in any situation, whether it be complex or simple. Her level of competence and responsibility is truly remarkable. However, she does possess a volatile and vulgar temperament at times. She strongly detests any immoral actions within her organization and promptly dismisses individuals involved in such acts upon discovery.
As the head of a global organization entrusted with significant matters, Callisto exercises great caution and wisdom in her decision-making. She understands that her every move can have profound implications on the entire world, whether for better or worse.
She harbors a deep disdain for unnecessary violence and imposes punishments on heroes (or even villains, if she acts independently) who exceed the organization's standards. These "punishments" often entail a severe reprimand that leaves a lasting impact on the individuals involved.
Beneath her competent exterior lies a compassionate individual who genuinely enjoys assisting others. Curiously, she often presents a smoking habit and wears a perpetually grumpy expression. However, those who have the opportunity to witness her genuine smile and experience her caring nature are pleasantly surprised, as it contrasts with her usual demeanor, earning her the trust and appreciation of her allies.
Powers and Abilities
Superhuman Physiology: Callisto is a superhuman, more specifically a mutant of variable level (explained below). Despite being, initially and presumably, weak at physical terms, what makes her so feared, even by the top-tiers of the World Security League (such as Captain Molecular himself), is her power what makes her truly feared. Callisto possesses a host of remarkable powers that allow her to adapt and overcome any situation she encounters. With her formidable abilities, she has achieved astonishing feats that showcase her indomitable spirit and unparalleled adaptability.
Reactive Adaptation: She possesses an extraordinary ability to adapt on the fly, allowing her to rapidly evolve and develop new skills and defenses to counteract any threat she faces. Her powers react to the stimuli and dangers in her environment, empowering her with the necessary tools and abilities to overcome them. When faced with extreme temperatures, her body can quickly adapt by generating an insulating layer that protects her from the harsh conditions. Similarly, when confronted with a powerful energy-based attack, her powers might grant her energy-absorbing capabilities, allowing her to absorb and redirect the assault back at her assailant.
Situational Condition: Callisto's power grants her the ability to match the strength and capabilities of her opponents, tailoring her own abilities to the specific circumstances of each encounter. Whether facing a physically imposing foe or a master of sorcery, Callisto effortlessly adjusts her power levels to match and, if necessary, surpass her adversaries. This situational enhancement ensures that she is always on equal footing with her opponents, presenting them with a formidable challenge that demands their full capabilities to overcome.
Adaptive Power-Level: Her power extends beyond matching her opponents' strength. She possesses the ability to adjust her power levels, granting her an unprecedented level of control over her own abilities. In situations where subtlety is required, she can suppress her powers to near-human levels, allowing her to blend seamlessly into the ordinary world. However, when confronted with overwhelming odds or dangerous adversaries, she can unleash her full power potential, surpassing her previous limits and achieving awe-inspiring feats.
Power Opposition: Callisto's adaptability also extends to oppositional powers directed against her. When confronted with an adversary possessing formidable abilities that could potentially harm or hinder her, Callisto's powers can temporarily manifest countermeasures to neutralize or mitigate the effects of those opposing powers. For example, if facing an enemy capable of telepathic manipulation, her powers might grant her temporary mental fortitude or even resistance to psychic attacks, giving her a fighting chance against such opponents.
Power Negation: Callisto possesses the remarkable ability to temporarily nullify the powers of those she faces. By focusing her adaptive energies, she can disrupt and suppress the abilities of her adversaries, rendering them temporarily powerless. This power negation ability allows her to level the playing field, nullifying the advantages of opponents who rely heavily on their powers. It has been demonstrated in battles where she nullifies the energy projection abilities of an enemy, leaving them defenseless and vulnerable to her own attacks.
Power Erasure: In addition to power negation, Callisto's ultimate ability lies in power erasure. Through immense concentration and a profound understanding of her opponents' powers, she can completely erase their abilities, rendering them permanently powerless. This ability is a last resort, utilized only against the most dangerous adversaries who pose an existential threat to herself or others.
Abilities
Brawling Mastery: Callisto possesses an exceptional level of skill in hand-to-hand combat, making her a formidable brawler. Through extensive training and natural talent, she has honed her fighting techniques to near-perfection. Her strikes are precise and powerful, and she seamlessly blends different fighting styles to overwhelm her opponents. Callisto's brawling mastery allows her to hold her ground even against larger or more experienced adversaries, consistently emerging victorious in physical confrontations.
Great Intellect: Callisto's mind is as formidable as her physical abilities. She possesses exceptional intelligence, with a keen analytical mind and a thirst for knowledge. Her great intellect allows her to quickly assess complex situations, strategize effectively, and devise innovative solutions to problems. She excels in tactical planning and critical thinking, and her ability to process information swiftly gives her a significant advantage in both combat and problem-solving scenarios. Her great intellect makes her an invaluable asset in unraveling mysteries, uncovering secrets, and outsmarting her adversaries.
Leadership Skills: She possesses innate leadership qualities that make her a natural-born leader, which is notable considering her status as the CEO of the IUH. She has the ability to inspire and motivate others, rallying them to work together towards a common goal. Her charismatic presence commands respect and loyalty, and she leads by example, demonstrating unwavering determination and unwavering dedication to the cause. Callisto's leadership skills enable her to effectively coordinate teams and make critical decisions under pressure, ensuring the success of missions and the well-being of her allies.
Weaknesses
Her Situational Condition doesn't allow her to be stronger than the opponent, but consistently as strong (or, occasionally, slightly stronger). This power is also always temporary; since they are just, like stated, situational.
She is allergic to cats.
Equally powerful opponents of notable power tends to make fights, potentially, last forever.
Quotes
"SUUPPER PUNCH!! Ha! Just kidding! I'm terrible at naming attacks! Actually, why people name their attacks? It's very dumb and useless anyways."
"Joining the IUH surely has its great benefits but... like every company, organization, EVERYTHING, on this damn planet, people will always make them "not perfect" somehow! Corruption, violence, and all. Ugh, why people just doesn't stay quiet for a fucking moment?!"
"AAAAAAAAAH!! Take this freaking feline out of here!! I know they are adorable, but my unfunctional body just cannot endure them! Achoo!"
Trivia
Callisto has an unexpected hidden talent for playing the saxophone. She keeps a saxophone at her IUH office and occasionally entertains herself with it.
She met Trevor Jacobs, her partner at the IUH, when both of them were traveling through Rome (Italy). Then, they accidentally met each other and since then are together. But, none of them has actual romantic feelings about each other.
Her favorite food is pasta.
Before establishing the IUH, Callisto embarked on a globetrotting adventure. She's visited every continent and crossed off numerous items from her travel bucket list.
Like you saw, Callisto is allergic to cats. The reason of why she doesn't "adapt to them", is because there's no reason to fight a cat, duh.
Her full name is unknown, as both her first name and alias are Callisto.
Despite being seem as a "bad girl" from the outside; in the inside, she's actually very compassionate, sweet and caring.
All members of the WSL (minus Siberian General and Techman), fears her very much. To the point of doing anything she asks without a second thought.
Her favorite hobby is walking around the City of Heroes (the IUH headquarters).
The only possible way to Callisto be defeated is similar to Siberian General's: by age. But like him, through natural means only.
Callisto is known for her unorthodox coffee order. She prefers her coffee black with a dash of hot sauce for an extra kick.
Her approach to heroism extends beyond physical prowess. She's a master strategist and often challenges her colleagues with intricate puzzles and strategy games to keep their minds sharp. Chess is her favorite, and she rarely loses a game.
Under her tough exterior, Callisto sports a series of tattoos that serve as personal mantras and inspirations. These tattoos, which are only visible when she wears her casual attire, include symbols of strength, resilience, and adaptability.
In her spare time, Callisto supports multiple charitable organizations aimed at helping underprivileged and at-risk youth.
When she needs a break from the stress of hero life, Callisto retreats to her secret sanctuary—a remote cabin in the woods. She enjoys the peace and solitude, spending time in nature and reading classic novels by the fireplace.

You read the question so...which powers would you choose and what would you use them for in your life?
Here's my 10 picks:
1) Superhuman Condition> Defend myself from mundane threats such as muggers and also protect the innocent from evil...by any means necessary. Plus it helps me with doing physical jobs.
2) Teleportation> Definitely go from one place to another in an instant, especially if they're far.
3) Duplication> Get multiple tasks done in a short amount of time such as homework, decorating the house and working multiple jobs.
4) Calm State> I would use it to help clear the intrusive thoughts that dare plague my mind and make me anxious. With this, I will remain calm regardless of what happens. Ideal for tons of situations.
5) Pain Suppression> Actually ignore the pain when going out to exercise.
6) Supernatural Regeneration> Actually heal from pesky wounds without having to worry about any lasting crippling injuries. I could even drink as much soda as I like!
7) Artistic Intuition> Become a better artist than I already am at a quicker rate. Not instant, but faster like a couple of months maybe. This could help me make a living with art while telling fun and entertaining stories.
8) Danger Detection> Pretty much know when something or someone tries to harm me in one way or another. Their punishment will be severe.
9) Psychic Shield> Keep my own thoughts safe and sound from anybody who tries to read my mind. My secrets are my own and I would hurt whoever tries reading it.
10) Reactive Adaptation> I would use this as a LAST RESORT should any and all of my other powers fail to defend me from certain threats like...perhaps the planet blowing up.
