- "It's not like it spoke to me or anything. But somehow I understood what it was. A weapon, from... somewhere else.. that could become whatever its wearer needed the most."
- ― Armory (Violet Lightner) - Marvel Comics
The ability to utilize a weapon that is capable of adapting. Variation of Power Weaponry.
Also Called[]
- Evolving Weapon/Weaponry
Capabilities[]
The user utilizes a specialized weapon that is capable of adapting to a variety of situations. This weapon is capable of analyzing the situation (whether mystically, psionically, or scientifically) and adapting characteristics needed to overcome any and all obstacles in the aforementioned situation.
It may even be able to transmute itself to other existing forms of weaponry, thereby allowing it to adapt to situations that require a different weapon. For example, if a long-range weapon is needed, but the weapon's current form is that of a sword, it would transmute itself into the form of a bow, a spear, of any other long-range weapon.
