Where Imitation allows a character to duplicate another's appearance, this Power lets the character copy another's basic abilities and Powers. This is limited to innate characteristics, not artificial ones such as those provided by technology. The character must possess a higher intensity in Power Duplication than the target's highest Stat score or Power intensity, or he or she will fall unconscious due to the energy backlash. Even if successful, the maximum duplicated score is equal to the character's intensity in Power Duplication.

If the Power succeeds, your character gains all the abilities of the opponent, though retains any abilities higher than that of the opponent (i.e., if the character has 16 Strength and duplicates the Powers of someone with 10 Strength, the character retains the 16 Strength). The character cannot use any of these new characteristics for a few seconds after duplication. While the character wields a Power copied from an opponent, that opponent can still use the Power.

Duplicated Powers last for a few minutes. Characters with Power Duplication usually take on some physical traits of the target. This Power can never duplicate Health or Resource Rank.

Limit--Stats Only: Your character can duplicate only basic Stats, not Skills or Powers. This Limit may be further limited by reducing the Power's influence to only one Stat.
Limit--Override: Your character's own Stats, Powers, and Skills are overridden by those stolen from the target, including Power Duplication. None of those characteristics can be used until the duplicated ones fade.
Limit--Powers Only: Your character can duplicate only superpowers, not Skills or Stats. This Limit may be further restricted by reducing the number of Powers that can be copied.
Limit--Skills Only: Your character can duplicate only Skills, not Powers or Stats. This Limit may be further restricted by reducing the number of Skills that can be duplicated.
Stunt--Imitation: Your character gains Imitation. This can only be used with Power Duplication.
Stunt--Mechanical Duplication: Your character can gain artificial traits in addition to innate ones. This can duplicate the Powers of robots, computers, and powered armor, among other items.
