Absorbing Replication

Absorbing Replication
Grunge (Wildstorm Comics) has the ability to molecularly bond with anything he comes in contact with. Once he bonds with an object he takes on its physical characteristics. For example, if he bonds with steel he gains increased strength and durability. But this power goes just beyond matter. He can absorb skills, powers, & even the essence of a pocket dimension becoming almighty in said realm.
Power/Ability to:	Absorb and replicate anything.

"But how could one defeat such a being? Wouldn't anything you threw at him become a weapon in his own defense?"

― Captain Mar-Vell

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

Also Called

• Omni-Morph Duplication
• Optimal Sentient System
• Ultimate Lifeform

Capabilities

Users can absorb any material, energy, and living beings they come into contact with. Through this, they gain the capacity to replicate and encode the properties of what they touch, integrating them into their own being. These properties become part of a vast internal arsenal, ready to be accessed and utilized as needed.

This ability allows the user to briefly merge with materials or beings, memorizing their structure and essence without causing harm. Alternatively, they can choose to assimilate the target fully, empowering themselves with new abilities or enhancing existing ones. Each act of absorption becomes an opportunity for evolution, turning even an attack into a chance for growth.

The power's most striking aspects is its adaptability and versatility. Users can reshape their bodies to reflect the properties they absorb, altering their form to suit any situation. They can generate weapons and tools based on the traits of absorbed materials, wielding them with precision and ingenuity. Beyond replication, the ability allows for recombination—absorbed traits can be blended into entirely new and unique capabilities, enabling the creation of forms and functions beyond what was initially taken.

This absorption process is not only a means of defense but also a strategic advantage, as it converts attacks against the user into opportunities for growth and evolution. At advanced levels, they can reverse the process, transferring absorbed properties to others or even reconstructing absorbed beings and objects.
