Summary[]
Power Absorption is a combination of Power Mimicry and Nullification, not just copying the abilities of others, but stealing them for one's own use, stripping the original bearer of their powers while gaining access to more. This may not be accomplished through literal absorption, but it can be, among a number of other potential means. The user's copied abilities may be inferior to the original's, or may be retained only for a short period of time, but others can actually improve upon these powers.
It would be a No Limits Fallacy to assume someone with this ability can copy anything; even if they can copy the functions of the ability, they may not be able to copy its full destructive power.
