Also Called[]

  • Ability Absorption/Assimilation/Drain/Draining/Siphoning/Stealing/Theft
  • Power Assimilation/Drain/Draining/Sapping/Siphoning/Stealing/Stripping/Theft

Capabilities[]

Users can absorb powers; assimilating supernatural abilities and powers directly from others even straight from the source, removing into themselves and utilize it in various ways, enhancing themselves with each new power drain expanding their arsenal of abilities. As a result, victims either temporarily or permanently lose their powers depending on how much users take into themselves.

Notes[]

  • Energy Absorption: is similar in nature that both powers are used to transfer an entity's power to another entity. The difference is that energy absorption only transfers the energy (which the receiving person can use against their enemies with their own powers), while power absorption transfers an actual arsenal of powers (the receiving person is granted the powers of the first person and can use powers they may not have otherwise).
