The user can absorb all the genetic information of a target, usually by touch, often gaining their skills, appearance, and powers if they have one. They may also gain some of the target's personality. The user may be able to store the separate set of DNA without accessing it so they can remain in their normal form until another form is needed, they also keep their mindset.
