Supergirl (DC Comics) at peace on a spatial surface.
The power to hold one’s breathing for an extensive period of time. Also known as Space Adaptation. Not to be confused with Atmospheric Adaptation.
Capability
Vacuum Adaptation allows the user to survive an a space environment unaided. They are able to withstand atmospheres (heat intensity and any poisonous chemical elements), cosmic media (radiation) and strange gravity (even sometimes that of a black hole), and to perhaps propel oneself into space. The user of these adaptations would still preserve their humanoid body image with perhaps a few superhuman anatomical features. Advanced users can undergo the procedure for the extent the ability allows without oxygen (e.g. 24 hours plus).
Associations
- Usually accompanies Anaerobic Respiration (breathing without oxygen or air). The user’s lungs evolve rapidly to adjust to the lack of inhaled oxygen so the user can hold their breath for a long time. The body will make its own oxygen as long as it permits.
- Seldom are bestowed varieties of Adaptation, but if so, the adaptation(s) would be compatible or similar in nature.
Limits
- With less practice over the ability, the user may only withstand oxygen for up to 2.5 hours.
- Can cause seizures after extended use.
- May be unable to communicate vocally.
- May shut down if the user cannot retrieve oxygen from nearby source or supply.
