Capabilities

The user can sense/perceive, and then mimic actions, feats and stunts done by others, whether in fiction or not. This can include slicing through a whole space station with one swing, or running through a hail of bullets unharmed, using one's legs to throw a large, heavy object into space, jumping through an explosion unscathed, and so on. They usually gain temporary abilities and boosts in stats for the duration of the action so they can perform it.
