Ability Absorption

Ability Absorption is the ability to steal the power of another superhuman through physical contact. After the use of this power, the person who the power has been stolen from has no trace of ever being a superhuman.

Limitations
This ability allows the user to permanently remove the powers of another superhuman when the user of this ability comes into skin-to-skin contact with another superhuman. The physical contact must be held for several seconds for the ability to be fully transferred. Users of this ability are not able to return powers or give them to other people, once a power is stolen it cannot be returned unless a reversing or counteracting ability is used by another superhuman.

When a power is being stolen, it may or may not cause physical or mental pain. If the person who is having their ability stolen used their ability often then it would hurt. If their ability was mental or psionic, it would cause mental pain, physical abilities would cause physical pain, fire-based abilities would cause a burning sensation, etc.

Users of this ability must consciously activate this ability. For example, if the user doesn't know that a person they are touching is a superhuman, they wouldn't be able to steal that person's power because they would have to consciously activate this ability in order for it to successfully work.
