- "But how could one defeat such a being? Wouldn't anything you threw at him become a weapon in his own defense?"
- ― Captain Mar-Vell
The ability to absorb and replicate any materials. Combination of Absorption, Adaptive Replication, and Shapeshifting. Advanced version of Digestive Assimilation.
Also Called
- Optimal Sentient System
- Ultimate Lifeform
Capabilities
Users can absorb any material and replicate its properties within themselves. Said properties may then be encoded for later use and potential combinations.
This makes a very effective defense, as attacks received not only strengthen users instead of hurting them, but even add to their options. It is also very useful to break restraints, as users can merge through them or simply absorb their way to freedom.
Users may briefly fuse with objects and beings to memorize their properties/patterns without damaging them, or assimilate/drain them dry to empower their new abilities or build up their resources. Some users may even use it as a weapon, literally devouring their opponents alive along with their weapons, armors and powers.
They can also shape their body's form and properties to match the current situation, shapeshift various tools and weapons based on absorbed data, and even recombine assimilated properties into new and more powerful ones.
Advanced users may learn to reverse the process, transferring abilities and various properties to others, and even reconstructing absorbed beings and objects, though both applications directly tap in the user's reserves.
