i like x's answer too though -- a polar bear would probably tear bobby a new one.
i WAS wondering about where the distinction between 'animal' and 'being' was though. i like AM but i'm not familiar enough with him to know if he's copied powers from anything that might more closely resemble a 'humanoid' than an animal.
i also thought there was a creature out there that possessed intangibility that he could copy, or some kind of creature with 'dark forcesque' powers. i SEEM to recall something like that but i may be mistaken.

I assume humanoid form is what stops it.
I know sentience doesn't because he copied the powers from a SpaceDolphin in 52 and looking like an animal isn't required either because copied the SunEater's navigational sense (also in 52)

you're likely right about the 'humanoid' bit. but what defines humanoid? physically and genetically, the great apes are very similar to 'humanoids'. as you've said, sentience is not a limit. so . . . what is the defining characteristic? there must be a boundary that AM cannot cross. that boundary was sort of what i was looking for and i was just curious if someone more familiar with AM could offer some info in the area. the idea behind the thread was to learn a little more about AM's limits. i knew about the sun-eater and that alone would ensure this was NOT a spite thread, but i was curious if there were OTHER characteristics he had copied in the past that would make this interesting. i've always liked AM but have never clearly understood his limits.
btw -- i don't think i ever told you but you have my favourite forum user name. i'm a huge fan of irony. 馃槈
