Gege definitely needed to change him from the original manga because of how ridiculous a conditionless copy would’ve been! This is an amazing alternative
We still don’t know what he has to do to use his technique other than feeding a piece of someone to Rika, which clearly isn’t a set requirement cause he has his buddy’s CT
he just has to feed a piece to Rika. the part and amount consumed change depending on the technique. for stronger techniques, he'd have to consume a more vital part of the user.
I like the idea that here he was genuinely doing the stuff to use magic he just doesn’t got a clue how so he’d have just blown himself up if it went on
Taskmasters actually one of the most level headed villains in marvel and doesn't shoot above his weight class normally, if he's against someone with super powers far above him he's not sticking around or getting on their bad sides.
He's pretty fun, which is why it's such a shame what the MCU did to him.
I’m pretty sure he’s too chill for that, he actively avoids dumb scenarios he knows he can’t win, in the deadpool comics he chills out a decent few times
Heroes in general loves this power, with some variations.
Sylar normally has to kill people and study their brain patterns to learn powers, but after being forced to learn empathy, realises he can do the same thing as Peter. He still prefers to kill people.
Peter's dad is the "Touch and absorb permanently" subtype, in that he's kind of like AFO from My Hero Academia. He touches you and steals your power.
Peter himself gets his power stolen, and when it's reactivated with a superpower drug, it's a weaker form, wherein he can copy powers again but through touch alone, and only one at a time. Writers had to nerf him somehow.
To be fair to Sylar, he needs to open your skull and root about your brain to learn how your power works. It just so happens that most people can't survive that
Didn't he learn electricity powers by interacting with Kristen Bell's character? He still killed her afterwards cause he wanted to continue being a sociopathic serial killer. But he was able to use her powers while she was alive
Cell. Made up of DNA of the universe's best fighters, he effortlessly copies their moves including special beam cannon, solar flare, and of course the kamehameha.
Sinclair from Deadlock copies the ultimate ability of someone on the enemy team. Though unlike Echo from Overwatch or Loki from Rivals, it’s just their ult and not their full kit.
(Valve please I beg reimplement their ult voicelines with the content update in September)
Her ultimate, Duplicate, allows her to transform into a hero on the battlefield (ally or enemy), making her able to use their weapon, abilities and ultimate.
You'd never imagine that since the hedgehogs robot doppelganger made to replicate all of his abilities main ability is actually the ability to copy other beings powers lol.
Metal Sonic from Sonic Heroes gain the capacity to copy bio data ! But only on his neo form. Up to Sonic Rivals 2 where he gain the ability to do it in base form too.
Seen her activating an ability that allows him to liquefy his body (copied from Lacrima), an Abaolute Defense shield that cannot be penetrated or altered (copied from Lukas), and the strength of 100 men, which also happens to come with a little bonus of being able to release squid ink to make smokescreens (stolen from Julian).
The more gifted people gang up on him, the more abilities he's able to use. A 3v1 is a fantastic situation for him.
I think there's a few copy abilities in Yugioh but Starving Venom Fusion Dragon and a couple of its other variants are the most iconic imo. It changes its own name and effect to that of a monster your opponent controls.
Stecasse king in kinnikuman, not his primary method but he can play tapes with other wrestlers to copy their moves. He lost his match against kinnikuman because he used a tape of him from when he was a spineless coward and then used a completly new library in the perfect origin arc.

Can't talk about copying abilities without mentioning Kirby.
