Hasn't darwin already evolved past physical harm? Didn't he evolve into energy?
Point only because if he has, then leech has no chance. Leech may nullify Darwin's evolving ability, but that doesn't remove the adaptations that are already in place.
Ah...but more then likely Darwin evolves past that....Leech's power works by creating an energy dampening field...which Darwin should be able to evolve past...evolve past being Homo Superior...I mean he has become pure energy...
We might actually see this go into effect...Gabriel can supress mutant powers too...chances are we might actually see Darwin evolve past this....when they confront each other...

to elvolve is Darwin's primary mutant power, leech can nullify any and all mutant power, that is an on panel feat. all mutant power period. so how can Darwin evolve when his his power to evolve is completly nullified ?
Darwin usual state is that of a regular human of simular size, strength and so on . he does not often keep the gifts he has evolved into .

TO evolve is Darwin's power. The evolutions themselves are NOT.
Say, for example, he evolved claws. Those claws are now just as natural as Darwin's hair. Just as natural as Darwin's toe nails. If he went into leech's field, he would lose the power to evolve, but the (entirely natural) claws would remain, they wouldn't disappear.
Same with all of his other evolutions. They would remain.
if Darwin can anticipate a stimuli and adjust to be immune to it prior to being exposed to it, and, if Leech's power nullification is a projected energy, then it is somewhat logical to assume that Darwin could become immune to that specific energy before Leech is able to use it on him.
Its moderatly paradoxical, and sorta becomes like the "burito so hot even god couldn't eat it" thing, but it works.

Well any psychical or mental damage he is going to resist be it from magic or any other source because it still has the physical property to it. If he is in energy form then he might be able to do something against other types of magic but that is just speculating on my part. As for leech there hasn’t been a level of mutant ability that he hasn’t been able to turn off, just recently he stopped Cyclops going at full power with just a touch so Darwin I don’t think could evolve to stop this either.
I want to agree with you, I really do but if this was so then Darwin would still be made of energy, or have a set of gills, or no lungs, or smooth wet skin (due to the fire in which he saved his mother from), or ultra light and rubbery skin (from when he tried to kill himself, and floated to the ground and bonced), stone hands (from when he fought with bullies), ect . he dosn't always keep all the accouterments that he gets when he evolves.

I would have to disagree with you as well, his power evolves at the time that he needs but doesn’t stay with him. It will be quicker the next time he needs it maybe but it doesn’t stay with him.
Scrambler (please log in to view the image)
Scrambler is a mutant who possesses the ability to disrupt the function of any system with his touch, whether that system be that of a living being, a machine, or a field of energy. Scrambler must physically touch his target with his bare flesh in order to affect it. Scrambler has at least partial control over the effect his power has. If he touches a living being, Scrambler can cause immobilization, unconsciousness, or death. If his victim possesses superhuman powers, Scrambler can disrupt the function of those powers, most often causing them to overload which is often traumatic or even fatal for the victim.
imagine if his powers of evolution went horrably out of control, he'll be as much a danger to himself as to everyone around him.
This guys chances of taking out Darwin are even lower....then Leeches because he has to make physical contact.
Darwins evolution powers have been shown to work before a stimulis is applied to the enviroment....meaning...Rogue, Scrambler, Pulse and Leeches powers will have no effect...
Because he'll evolve past the energy field..or past being Homo Superior...
So has Darwin only be shown to "adapt & evolve past" things that would be harmful to him, or does he have the potential to develop defenses to potentially beneficial things as well?
Example: If Elixir tried to heal him (granted if Darwin's power works properly he shouldn't need healing, but whatever) would he reject Elixir's efforts? Or if Sage wanted to "jumpstart" his mutation even further would it have no effect on him?
