SUPERPOWER MIMICRY VARIANTS

3 Comments

As I mentioned in some of my previous posts, one of my favorite superhuman powers is empathic mimicry, which is the ability to copy the powers of others by forming an emotional connection with them. However, I realized that there are two variants of this ability. One version is when the user just copies the powers, but does not know how to use or process them until much later. The other version is when the user copies the powers and has a form of intuition that allows them to instinctively know how to process and use the power instantly, which saves time. I am thinking of including a character who possesses one of these variants in the sequel series of The Young Guardians Saga, but I am having trouble choosing which one. Which do you think would provide an engaging story and provide realistic character development? Please post your opinions. Thank you.
