  • Genetic Mimicry
rdfs:comment
  • Taylor only needs the genetic contents of one cell to analyse and mimic. However, the mimicry is difficult and painful, and he cannot do it often. To date, he has used this ability to mimic the abilities of DNA manipulation and peak physical properties. He could in future use this first ability to help his mimicry, but is yet to do so because he hasn't needed to mimic another ability since. He ought to also be able to mimic other genetic traits in addition to abilities, but is yet to do this.
  • The user can mimic properties of a creature's physiology through supernatural means. Alternatively the user’s genetic structure can alter itself to become identical to a biological creature upon contact. Unlike Shapeshifting and DNA Replication the user does not necessarily take on the appearance of the target but rather select parts of their physiological make up. One with this power could touch a spider and climb walls, a fish and breathe underwater, or a bear and gain amazing strength.

abstract
  • The user can mimic properties of a creature's physiology through supernatural means. Alternatively the user’s genetic structure can alter itself to become identical to a biological creature upon contact. Unlike Shapeshifting and DNA Replication the user does not necessarily take on the appearance of the target but rather select parts of their physiological make up. One with this power could touch a spider and climb walls, a fish and breathe underwater, or a bear and gain amazing strength. Many users can take on whole physiologies by either touching the creature itself or someone who has the physiology as a superpower. Experienced users can mix and match certain aspects of different physiologies gaining a chimera type effect to their own bodies (having multiple genetic qualities at once).
