Also Called

  • Life Draining
  • Life Energy Absorption
  • Life-Force Drainage/Draining/Siphoning
  • Plunder
  • Vitality Absorption

Capabilities

The user can drain the victim of their life-force, their source of vitality and health, allowing them to regain their life-force, while causing the victims' to decline in vigor. Extended drain may result in extended or permanent effects, or even death. They may be able to store up excess life force to extend their lifespan, and use for regeneration purposes.

Since superpowers are derived from one's life force, user may be able to absorb such powers from the victims. Any attacks derived from superpowers are also vulnerable to such abilities, as the energy and matter produced contains the user's life force, which can be drained and rendering the attack useless.
