Name: Mimic
Alignment: Neutral
Alias(es): Cal
Secret Identity: Calvin Rankin

Looks: Calvin is a 6'2 tall, 225lb Caucasian male with brown hair and brown eyes. This however, can be altered extremely based on the ability he absorbs, gaining the physical side effects that can come with them.
Personality: Calvin has the tendency to be extremely cocky and arrogant because of his ability. It often made him the best, if not on par with the best around in everything; sports, academics or otherwise.

Rank // History

Rank: Hunter (4)
Origin Type: Mutant Origin
Origin Story: Human parents, father carried X-Gene and passed it on. Father scientifically tested.
History: Calvin Rankin, Aka Mimic of, was born as a mutant who could mimic other superhuman abilities. His FATHER, Ronald Rankin, was a brilliant scientist, but a terrible businessman. All of his discoveries and creations were stolen from him. Calvin grew up poor and under the thumb of a bitter, dejected man.

Abilities // Equipment

  • Strength: 11
  • Intelligence: 35
  • Speed: 31
  • Durability: 21
  • Energy: 51 [+10 due to mimicry]
  • Technology: 0
Power/Ability: Power Mimicry (Rank determines how far a person has to be)
Description of Powers: Mimic is able to unconsciously copy the knowledge, skills, and powers (if any) of every individual within a certain range of him; different sources list this as anywhere from several feet to a mile radius. Use of the abilities however are conscious. Because he gains the knowledge of the ability after gaining it, he is able to use it just as effectively, if not even more so as the being he copied it from.
  • Strengths: This applies to both superpowered and "normal" abilities, as shown when he duplicated athletic skill on the football field in high school. He has shown the capacity to manifest numerous powers at the same time, and since he also absorbs knowledge, he can immediately use copied powers with the same skill level as the original owner. When interacting with normal humans, Mimic was able to duplicate their skills, personality traits, and intelligence. Thus, when in the vicinity of athletes, he gained superior athletic ability, and when in the presence of a scholar, not only did his knowledge expand, but so did his potential to learn. Instantly knows all the strengths and weaknesses of the abilities he's copied. Secret Identities cannot be revealed based on gaining intelligence, unless the ability itself allows for it. (Gaining omniscience)
    • Within the RP gaining Power Grid enhancement powers such as superspeed, super strength, durability, etc; would alter the Power Grid of Mimic to be exactly that of the person he copied it from as long as their Power Grid stat is higher than his. If Mimic's Power Grid is higher even after copying a natural PG Enhanced power, then Mimic's PG remains the same.
    • If a person's power is uncontrollable (ie Cyclops optic beams) Mimic can simply turn the power off consciously. He can also gain or already possess the knowledge of how to gain control over the ability through copying another ability. (Copying Deadpool's ability to use Cyclops optic Blasts, thus gaining the knowledge of how to control it, etc)
    • Only being able to retain 5 abilities and powers combined at a time, if there is ever a case when there are more than 5 abilities within range of Mimic, all the powers and abilities will be placed within a RNG, and the first five abilities/powers listed will be the ones that Mimic is capable of using.
    • Because his ability is copying the abilities of other's, Mimic's abilities only consist of the different ranges within his own copying ability (How far a person is from him.) Everything he gains all the techniques of the individuals power's he's copied that fall within the specific ability range. Mimic's other techniques fall within the range of being able to combine any powers together that he has to form a 2-5 combination move.
  • Weaknesses: Usually the Mimic loses his duplicated abilities once out of range of the owner. He occasionally shows difficulty in juggling multiple powers, and his body can be overloaded by absorbing too many at once. Any weaknesses or special conditions/side effect(s) that comes with said powers are gained as well. (Copying Deadpool turns skin into Deadpool's skin. Copying Superman gains Kryptonite weakness. Copying Hulk gains Gamma Radiation Sickness effect as well as the green skin pigmentation.
    • Cannot copy scientific body modifications of an ability. For example. Wolverine's mutant ability allows him to protrude his skeleton from in between his knuckles. This ability can be copied by Mimic, however since Wolverine's skeletal structure is made of Adamantium as a result of a scientific experiment, Mimic's protrusion will simply be made of bone, not unlike Wolverine before the Weapon X experiments. If he were to copy the ability of ArchAngel, he would sprout regular wings with natural flight control, and not the metallic ones given from Apocalypse.

Re: Calvin Rankin

It'll be restricted accordingly. He won't have the original users mastery with it, for example. Picture Ditto: How it can use other pokemon moves but a limited time for each. Since he has a proximity based mimicry, he'll need to be close to them for maximum ability usage. Outside of short range, he'll be operating at a fraction of their max power. Example, he steals Solar Energy Transmutation and uses Energy Beams. It's, let's say, B rank. In short/close range, he can use it with 100% the same power as the original user. In mid range, it becomes 75% as strong as the original attack. Actual absorption would grant it the ability to be as strong as the original user, or even stronger. Since you're starting at Rank 4, I think a good starting "room" range would be 6-8 meters. Anything within that area, you gain their abilities.

Abilities:

Technique Name:
EXP: 15
Type: Energy
Rank: D-C
Description: This passively ACTIVE ability of Mimic's allows him to copy the abilities/skills/techniques/etc of anyone within a certain range of him (see bio for details). While this is active, Mimic can control these abilities/powers/fighting skill just as well as, if not better, than the person he took them from. Mimic can then use any technique's up to C Rank that the person(s) from whom he copied possesses. Power Grid Stat changes equate to equal to that of the person absorbed unless Mimic's PG Stat is already higher.


25 EXP - 15 EXP = 10 EXP
