  • Reactionary Replication - The user can not only replicate others from a distance, but can also replicate the powers that were once used on them from unexpected attacks, making them capable of surviving while granting the use of the power that was just used at them.
• Adaptive Attribute Assimilation - Enabled by sampling either through physical, empathetic, mental, progressive or regressive stimulus. One is able to evolve and expand their repertoire through practice and exposure to different situational observation. Gaining and ascertaining new stimulus through garnered experience.
  • Attribute Replication - User can replicate the attributes and traits of any normal, weak, or superhuman attributes (including physical, mental, sensory, etc.), for example: strength, speed, intelligence, agility, durability, etc. users can utilize them together, making themselves just as strong, if not stronger, than the original.
