Capabilities[]
The user is immune to/against adaptation powers, including Adaptive Attacks, Adaptive Possession, Adaptive Power Level, Combat Adaptation, Power Opposition and Preemptive Adaptation and other such abilities, preventing any entity from adjusting to the user and gaining power from/keyed against them.
It can also be divided into a second part that acts as a demerit rather than a benefit. The main usage of the second part is for torture, allowing things like Habituation and Sensory adaptation to be removed or disabled, removing the need to worry about the torturee from getting used to the pain. It's best to be used as an enchantment or something of the sort to prevent it from causing harm to the user as well. It affects both natural pain tolerance and the superpower version of Pain Resistance if it is obtained through adaptation to either repeated or prolonged exposure to pain.

Limitations[]
- May be immune only to a certain forms of adaptation.
- Unlikely to prevent less literal "adaptation" that does not modify the user, such as those based on skill that doesn't reach into the realm of superpowers.
- Ex: Kanoh Agito's (Kengan Ashura) variant of Combat Adaptation.
- Unlikely to prevent less literal "adaptation" that does not modify the user, such as those based on skill that doesn't reach into the realm of superpowers.
- May require an enchanted object, as a result, removal or destruction of said object can leave them vulnerable to adaptation.
- Save against the highest-tier users of this (& even then it still might grow to rival instead of perfectly overcome), Superior Adaptation.
- Useless against Meta Immunity Bypassing.
- Immunity Bypassing/Immunity Negation/Immunity Removal are the perfect counters.
- May not last forever.
- May be a Double-Edged Power that can also affect the user.
