The power to adapt to any bodily harm as they regenerate. Combination of Reactive Adaptation and Regenerative Healing Factor.
Also Called
- Adaptive/Regenerative Healing Factor/Self-Healing
Capabilities
The user can regenerate and adapt in response to bodily harm, anything from becoming less prone to scratches to being impossible to cut, a slight immune system boost to becoming invulnerable to any biologically debilitating conditions or even increasing their own power in response to a stronger opponent, from extremes such as a brief regenerative boost to even becoming immune to being killed the same way twice, this can be triggered from virtually any damage as long as it can be regenerated regardless of the method.
In short, if it causes harm it is adapted against and compensated for.
