Summary
Absorption is the power to absorb something (typically matter and energy) for a variety of applications.
Certain applications can considered a form of Durability Negation.
Applications
- Energy Absorption: Users can draw energy from their surroundings and/or their opponents, the latter application weakening foes while making users stronger. This can completely nullify energy-based attacks, drain enemies of their strength, utilize energy from one’s surroundings to enhance oneself, and so on. The specifics of this application varies from individual to individual.
- Power Absorption: Absorb the powers of others, stripping opponents of their powers while the user accumulates new abilities.
- Life Force Absorption: The power to absorb the life essence of others.
- Biological Absorption: Users can physically absorb others, either immediately killing opponents or trapping them in their bodies. Most users gain their opponent’s powers and memories.
Limitations
- May be limited to how much one can absorb.
- May be limited to what one can absorb (for example, basic users can only absorb energies from their surroundings as opposed to their foes).
- May have limited range, such as touch only.
