"Every demon has an aspect of the Diaboli. I was born with the most curious ability: copy those aspects!"
― Marneao, explaining about his main power to replicate abilities. (My Best Friend Marneao)

The power to replicate the powers of others. Sub-power of Superpower Manipulation.

Also Called[]

  • Ability Copying/Duplication/Imitation/Mimicry/Mirror/Replication
  • Imitator/Mimicker/Replicator Physiology
  • Power Copying/Duplication/Imitation/Mirror/Replication
  • Power Mimicry

Capabilities[]

Users are able to mimic and replicate the powers of objects and/or subjects around oneself. Unlike Empathic Mimicry, this is not empathic, but strictly physical or psychic as it simply mimics the psychic energy outputs, genetic structure or superhuman physiology that enable abilities in other people. User can even stack several powers together, which may lead to Power Mixture.

In addition, Power Replication can also come in useful as a support ability during battle. When the user's allies come across a threat that requires co-operation to take down, they can duplicate one of their own partner's powers, which can turn the tables against the enemy at full force. The power(s) the user copied may also get stronger when the user is near the original power user, making the copied power(s) stronger than the original power.

Limitations[]

  • Unlike Power Absorption, the users are unable to steal the powers, just replicate them as their own. Whereas the former assimilates them which in turn causes the target to permanently/temporarily lose their abilities, the latter is not capable of doing such.
  • Cannot replicate Omnipotence, Omnipresence, Omniscience or other Omnipotent Powers.
  • Despite the powers being replicated from other opponents, the powers will still have every single limitation that the abilities would possibly possess, for example, Fire Manipulation is useless against Fire Immunity.
  • Cannot copy the powers of users of Power Mimicry Immunity, Power Anchoring or Singularity.
  • Accumulation may cause a power overload.
  • Physical powers, like Multiple Hearts, and Fang Retraction, may be painful to replicate.
  • May only be able to copy a limited number of powers at a time, unless the user can overcome their limitations.
    • May only copy one power at a time, and they replicate another one, the power they currently possess will be discarded upon being replaced.
  • Does not work against Replication Negation.
  • May need physical contact to mimic powers.
  • Unless the user has Visual Power Replication, may need eye contact to mimic powers.
  • May lose replicated powers and need to re-replicate again to retain them.
  • May not be able to replicate technology-based abilities, only to replicate the power to manipulate it, unless they have Object Replication or Technology Imitation.
  • May not be able to choose what powers they can copy from their opponents. In short, the power in question will be quite unruly as it'll just simply copy every single power possible that the opponent or ally has.
  • May be permanent on the target and/or user, meaning they wouldn't be able to discard the powers as they choose to unless they possess Power Discarding.
  • Higher-level powers may be more difficult to copy.
  • The current replicated power can be replaced if the user touches another person with powers.
  • Unless the user can resist/overcome their limitations, certain combinations of powers may be painful together.
  • May be unable to mimic copied/stolen powers.
  • May be unable to evolve/improve the power as the original user can unless they also have Enhanced Power Replication.
  • May not be effective if the opponent is using a different move or style.
  • May not be able to copy powers from different species unless user have DNA Replication or Genetic Mimicry.
  • May not be able to copy powers from different sources.
  • It may not work if the target is too much more powerful than the user.
