The ability to absorb pain/suffering and utilize it in some way. Sub-power of Emotion Absorption and Pain Manipulation. Variation of Absorption.

Also Called[]

  • Suffering Absorption
  • Suffering Stealing

Capabilities[]

The user can absorb pain/suffering (whether mental and physical) of others, while removing it from the source, into their body and use it in various ways, gaining some form of advantage, either by enhancing themselves, gaining the drained power, using it as power source etc., either temporarily or permanently. This may be like other absorption powers but it can be used as a shield, a cannon, or healing allies.

Example: Say someone was trying to pound you into a pulp but the pain absorption prevents that and all the kinetic energy gets boomeranged back at the attacker.
