That's a LOT of power. More than Iron Man, I'd say.
I told that to Dizzle, it also left her drained and happened once.....thats called pis, like wolverine taking nuke....she has been shown to take around ironman level energy most of the time....

Storm, read my above post. This opens the door to the "I copied _____'s powers and learn all his weakness" arguments which were banned (Nimrod and The Fury). Copying another characters ability set is just like being able to adapt to it.
this opens the door to nothing. characters like mimic don't learn weaknesses when they absorb powers. when a character absorbs ones powers, they don't automatically figure out everything about them, or their weaknesses. yes, some may, like nimrod and the fury, but they were banned, so there's no need to try and have everyone pick again because you don't like it.

You're still missing the point Storm.
Copycat characters fall under the same banning as analyze and adapt characters.
For example:
If Nimrod fought Collossus, he'd analyze him, see he was a class 100 strength, and adjust accordingly to nullify his strength.
If mimic fought Collossus, he'd analyze him and emulate his strength to make it an equal playing field, nullifying his strength.
It's the same premise, and therefore has already been banned.

I'm sure they do, but from a logical standpoint I'm correct. If a character that can analyze and counter a characters abilities is banned, a character that can analyze and copy a characters abilities should be banned as well, because by copying the characters ability you nullify their advantage.
most of the characters here can't analyze and counter a characters abilities, they may be able to copy abilities, but none if any can analyze the very core of the character. if there are people here, then just disable that ability. simple as that, no need for a whole new draft. picking a character that can copy another characters abilities(by still being within the rules) is stragetizing on our part, which we shouldn't be penelized for.

nay.....its a perfectly fine concept, just because it puts you to a slight disadvantage because your person has someone with the same abilities, doesnt mean its not legal, you just need to be clever with your own characters....
I don't think it puts the other team at a disadvantage.... just because Speedball's a moron doesn't mean everyone else is

Nimrod can make himself STRONGER....
any copy cat makes it an even playing field, there is a big difference between the too

your still missing my point.
no one here can completley analyze the character. mimic doesn't analyze, he just mimics with a basic understanding of the power. if mimic fought colossus, and mimiced his strength and durability, colossus still has the advantage due to the fact that mimic only mimics half of his power.

The rules have to be fair.
for the last time, THEY ARE. characters aho are powerful are limited to fit the rules. everyone is within the limits. to the people who have copying characters(or at least me) it highly sounds like your pissed you don't have a character that can mimic/copy. you can say it isn't all you want, but when you try to ban the people who have better characters, that's what it seems like.
