History Main / AllYourPowersCombined

* ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIIIReMind'' gives Sora a situation command to use with Riku and Mickey called True End, which combines all of their ElementalPowers into one attack using InstantRunes and {{Power Crystal}}s representing [[LightEmUp light]], [[CastingAShadow darkness]], [[FireIceLightning fire, ice, lightning]], [[BlowYouAway wind]], and [[MakingASplash water]]. The only element not represented is [[DishingOutDirt earth]] as Terra is the only one who uses earth magic.

* In ''ComicBook/AllFallDown'', the protagonist, Sophie, experiences this with every superpower on Earth. Permanently.

** The Composite Superman was a slightly odd example; while he had the combined powers of the ''ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes'', his usual opponents were the Characters/{{Superman|TheCharacter}}/Characters/{{Batman|TheCharacter}} team (making him "all ''their'' powers combined"). In the Post-Crisis continuity, he was replaced by the Composite Legionnaire, who did battle the Legion and was a Durlan with the unusual ability to copy powers in addition to shapeshifting.

** [[BigBad All For One]] has the ability to steal and use other people's Quirks; his specialty is combining minor Quirks to make them far more effective. All For One can also endow others with those stolen Quirks, but few people have the requirements to handle multiple Quirks without exploding or becoming near-mindless monsters.
** For a spoilerriffic example, [[spoiler:[[Characters/MyHeroAcademiaIzukuMidoriya Izuku Midoriya]] has the Quirks of all his One For All predecessors and can manifest them to a far greater degree]].

[[folder:Films- Animated]]

* {{Deconstructed|Trope}} in ''Manga/SaintSeiyaTheLostCanvas''. [[PowerCopying Leo Regulus can copy any move by watching it perform]], thus he combined all 12 Gold Saints' techniques and used it on [[YouKilledMyFather Wyvern Rhadamanthys]]. [[spoiler:But not only did Rhadamanthys proved to be still stronger, the combined powers ended up [[HeroicRROD too much for Regulus to handle]], [[HoistByHisOwnPetard killing himself in the process]].]]

* As in the comic book, the animated series of ''WesternAnimation/{{WITCH}}'' shows this four times, again complicated by the rule of the Heart having to be willingly relinquished:

* [[DittoFighter Satori Komeiji]] from ''Franchise/TouhouProject'' can use the Spell Cards used by the Player Character's current partner in ''Subterranean Animism'' (Aya, Suika or Yukari for Reimu, Alice, Patchouli or Nitori for Marisa). This is because the patterns were within the reach of Satori's MindReading; ostensibly, this is because they have the patterns down in the case they enter into a [[BulletHell Danmaku duel]] with them again, and having ongoing conversations with the usually obnoxious youkai makes it hard not to also think of the associated patterns.[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gz10bka9Ly4 This Danmakufu script]] shows what could happen when she begins combining all those copied spellcards together.

* ''Series/{{Arrowverse}}'':

* In the ''Manga/RosarioPlusVampire'' fic ''Fanfic/HereInYourArms'', Tsukune becomes a Blood Sage, a vampire who can obtain the powers of any monster by drinking their blood.

* Invoked in ''VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon'' with Eevee's exclusive [[LimitBreak Z-Move]], "Extreme Evoboost", wherein Eevee gains massive boosts to its stats from all of its evolved forms.

** Happened in a story involving [[Characters/IncredibleHulkCentralRoguesGallery Red Hulk]], ComicBook/{{Venom}}, ComicBook/GhostRider's AntiHeroSubstitute Alejandra and [[Characters/MarvelComicsLauraKinney X-23]] teaming up to fight [[Characters/MarvelComicsDemons Blackheart]]. Knowing they separately stand no chance against the guy, Venom tricked the Spirit of Vengeance and symbiote into possessing Red Hulk at the same time. [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot The result]] was [[http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Np_kAQFWVY4/T2AW0tAm2fI/AAAAAAAAAnY/e7NuHQj_mog/s1600/venom13403.jpg glorious]]

* ''Film/{{Black Widow|2021}}'' has [[Characters/MarvelComicsTaskmaster Taskmaster]], a mercenary who has duplicated the weapons and fighting styles of several Marvel heroes. These include [[Characters/MarvelComicsSteveRogers Captain America]]'s shield, Characters/{{Hawkeye|ClintBarton}}'s bow and arrow, and ComicBook/BlackPanther's claws.

* A variation is present in the ''ComicBook/JLAAvengers'' crossover. Think Characters/{{Superman|TheCharacter}} was powerful before? Well, when [[Characters/TheMightyThorThorOdinson Thor]] is brought down by a swarm of bad guys and [[Characters/MarvelComicsSteveRogers Captain America]]'s running mission control, ''he'' gets Mjolnir and the Mighty Shield. The [[https://therealstanlee.com/main/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Superman-Hammer-min-768x576.jpg resulting panel]] is a fair contender for the coolest panel in comics history.

*** AIM eventually came up with a couple biological versions of the Super-Adaptoid. The first one was defeated when it absorbed Characters/TheSentry's craziness and became useless. The second turned out to get overloaded if it absorbed multiple powers in quick succession. Since it was intended to fight a team of Avengers, this turned out be a very WeaksauceWeakness. A third version was killed by Characters/{{Deadpool|WadeWilson}} when it absorbed his healing factor, it also picked up his cancer. [[Characters/MarvelComicsNormanOsborn Norman Osborn]] once turned himself into a fourth version, only to get swiftly curb-stomped when it turned out he had the same overloading weakness.

** The [[Characters/MarvelComicsTaskmaster Taskmaster]] has the CharlesAtlasSuperpower equivalent to this: because he has "photographic reflexes" and trains constantly, he can mimic any combat move or other physical feat that doesn't involve any actual superpowers. This means he was successfully able to mimic things like [[Characters/MarvelComicsSteveRogers Captain America]]'s trademark shield throw, Characters/{{Black Knight|MarvelComics}}'s swordsmanship, Characters/{{Hawkeye|ClintBarton}}'s proficiency with a bow and arrow, Characters/IronFist's martial arts prowess, and so on. Being smart, however, he decided that being a superhero didn't pay, and that supervillains tended to get the snot beat out of them no matter how good they were at it, so he went into business training Mooks for other supervillains. He did start as an Avengers villain though.

** [[Characters/SpiderManPeterParker Spider-Man]] fought a one-time villain called Fusion, who could replicate the powers of any and every superpowered being. It was later revealed to be a specific form of [[JediMindTrick mind trick]], and Spider-Man could overpower him easily when [[YourMindMakesItReal he refused to accept the illusion.]]

** Happened in a story involving [[Characters/IncredibleHulkCentralRoguesGallery Red Hulk]], ComicBook/{{Venom}}, ComicBook/GhostRider's AntiHeroSubstitute Alejandra and [[Characters/X23LauraKinney X-23]] teaming up to fight [[Characters/MarvelComicsDemons Blackheart]]. Knowing they separately stand no chance against the guy, Venom tricked the Spirit of Vengeance and symbiote into possessing Red Hulk at the same time. [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot The result]] was [[http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Np_kAQFWVY4/T2AW0tAm2fI/AAAAAAAAAnY/e7NuHQj_mog/s1600/venom13403.jpg glorious]]

** The Absorbing Man started out fighting [[Characters/TheMightyThorThorOdinson Thor]] and was a deadly threat because of his ability to [[PowerCopying absorb the physical powers and attributes]] of anything he came into contact with. This, at one point, included fragments of a Cosmic Cube. Fortunately, he's not all that bright, so he could typically only absorb one person's or thing's abilities at a time. However, [[ComicBook/EarthX one alternate universe]] version has him figuring out how to tap into ''anything'' he's previously absorbed by first absorbing Ultron's computer brain, and then learning to combine their attributes into any form he wants. The end result? A guy who's capable of making SuperheroGods sweat blood whenever they fight him just became a hell of a lot scarier.

* ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine'' turned [[spoiler:Characters/{{Deadpool|WadeWilson}}]] into one of these. [[InNameOnly Flimsiest explanation of his name ever]].

* ''VideoGame/{{Settlemoon}}'': [[spoiler:Repairing the Sun Gate with Luna requires one of each Keeper drop and one of each event Moon drop, thus requiring leaning into six of the game's elements at least once each. The result is a chrysalis that eventually yields a Monarch Butterfly, who provides a Sunrise that serves as a supercharged Moon, tripling the game's activity and letting villagers bring in loot from every event Moon.]]

An increasingly common variation seen in {{Toku}} franchises is to have this particular character be the end result of a fusion between two or more heroes, or a singular hero utilising the powers of others in their franchise to take on a new form. This can often be seen as crossing the GodzillaThreshold, as its use normally requires a significantly stronger threat than usual for the hero to face - this can even be ''another character'' who's an example of this trope, usually in the form of a {{Kaiju}}, Seijin or Kaijin using a similar technique, or one [[MixAndMatchCritters who's a chimera composed of previously fought foes]].

* [[spoiler:Yuu Otosaka]] from ''Anime/{{Charlotte}}'' {{exaggerate|dTrope}}s this in the finale when they [[spoiler: use their "[[PowerParasite Plunder]]" ability to take ''every single ability on the planet'']].

** Done earlier in the series when the original seven Digimon of the team combined their attacks together to give the new member enough power to strike down the third main villain of the series, Myotismon. [[spoiler: Which unfortunately didn't work and only caused him to transform into a bigger, more powerful enemy. The second time, however, is far more successful.]]

** ''Anime/DigimonFusion'' has this with Shoutmon X7. Taken to SerialEscalation levels with [[spoiler: Shoutmon X7 Superior Mode, which is essentially Shoutmon fused with '''EVERY DIGIMON EVER''' and is powerful enough to defeat the BigBad in one strike]].

** In the ''Manga/DragonBallSuper'' manga, the android 7-3 has the ability to copy the skills of another fighter for up to 30 minutes. After Moro [[spoiler: absorbs him]], he also gains this ability, but he can ''permanently'' copy another fighter's powers. This even includes [[spoiler: Ultra Instinct]].

* Blackbeard from ''Manga/OnePiece''. The [[PowerUpFood Devil Fruit]] he ate is called the Yami Yami no Mi (Darkness Darkness Fruit) and gave him control over a smoke-like substance which, among other things, allows him to absorb other Devil Fruit powers, either temporarily by touching them or permanently by methods unknown. Blackbeard is an interesting case: although the premise behind his ability is that he "absorbs" Devil Fruit powers, it's really just a PowerNullifier. He did [[spoiler: steal Whitebeard's Devil Fruit ability after Whitebeard's death]] and it's been mentioned that during the timeskip his crew went around stealing DF powers, but it's unknown how he did it, if it's related to his original DF power[[note]]Burguess, one of his crew, tried to do so with Luffy and later Sabo[[/note]], or even if the person can still be alive when it happens.

* ''Literature/TheRisingOfTheShieldHero'': Deconstructed through [[spoiler:Tact]]; his ability to steal [[spoiler:Legendary Weapons]] only works on the physical level since he's not only using items that he nabbed from their true, chosen wielders, but he has no idea how to actually use them beyond their basic functions once he got his hands on them. To add insult to injury, the individual benefits of each [[spoiler: Weapon]] don't even stack on each other since the user was never meant to have more than one. Someone with a sufficiently high level that knows what they're doing in actual combat can easily hand him his ass, with or without a [[spoiler:Hero Weapon]], as a vengeful Naofumi and Fohl prove in a satisfyingly brutal fashion.

* The Ryujin (Dragon-God) Orb in ''Manga/{{Yaiba}}'' can use the powers of the other seven Legendary Orbs and some other tricks. [[spoiler: During the last battle against Kaguya, he must use this very trope in order to awaken the true power of the Dragon God.]]

** The Mimic started out as an ComicBook/XMen opponent before undergoing a HeelFaceTurn. He can copy anyone's powers at half-strength as long as they're within a certain radius, but maintains the powers of the five founding X-Men (the ones he faced at the time) as a default. Unfortunately, he couldn't always control it, meaning that he had an unpleasant experience when he encountered [[Characters/MarvelComicsXMan Nate Grey]], whose ''vast'' power-set included -- by Grey's own account - about 300 different ways to see the future. Mimic was depressed, suffering from anxiety, and suggested to be bipolar. Oh, and his psychiatrist was Moonstone. This was ''not'' a good combination.
*** The Mimic from ''ComicBook/{{Exiles}}'' had slightly different abilities, able to duplicate indefinitely the powers of any superhuman he encountered, but [[DiscardAndDraw could only hold 5 power sets at a time]], and only at half-strength. When he was [[spoiler: turned into a Brood queen]], his powers increased to the extent that he could duplicate the powers of all nearby superhumans.

* ''Fanfic/CharlesMansonVsTheTeletubbies'': The Series/{{Teletubbies}} are all extremely powerful in their own ways, but their combined attack, Teletubby Lazer Strike, [[spoiler: burns UsefulNotes/CharlesManson to a crisp]].

* ''Fanfic/ClashOfTheElements'': Alex Whiter's [[spoiler: Phoenix Form and The Blazing Overlord Fist]] both utilize this trope.

** ''Fanfic/InnerDemons'': Due to being [[TheChosenOne the Master of Harmony]], [[spoiler: Apple Bloom]] is able to use all of the Elements of Harmony and the special abilities that go with them.

* ''Fanfic/TheLionKingAdventures'': During the FinalBattle between Simba and [[spoiler: [[UnseenEvil The Writer]]]], the latter [[OneWingedAngel takes on a monstrous form]] that combines elements from ''every'' enemy Simba has ever faced.

* While Chimeramon's creation is a mystery in the original ''Anime/DigimonAdventure02'', in ''Fanfic/Zero2ARevision'', Chimeramon is created by combining the Digimons of every single Digidestined except Davis, Yolei, Cody, and Ken. Devimon later receives this power when he fuses with his creation becoming Umbradevimon in the process. [[spoiler: However, since he is fused with Chimeramon, Umbradevimon's powers directly depend on the Digidestined Digimons evolving to become more powerful, in fact if even one dies, he will revert back to Devimon once more]].
* In the Korra ''Fanfic/BookFiveLegends'' there's of course Avatar Korra herself, and later [[spoiler: Temuji as the ''Anti''-Avatar]].

** [[spoiler: Thor and Jane combine Stormbreaker and Mjolnir together to defeat Hela.]]

* In ''Running The Risk'', Book 2 of ''Literature/TheShapeshifter'' series, the character of Catherine appears to be the most powerful [[SuperHeroSchool Cola]] ever. It is revealed that she was just stealing everyone's powers and energy. The explanation to her having such a different power to everyone else and being such a nasty piece of work is that [[spoiler: she was a parasite planted into a [[AWizardDidIt Sender]] by their jealous competitors]].

* Appears in several variations in ''Series/{{Charmed|1998}}'': a doctor injected with a composite of Halliwell blood in "Astral Monkey" gains each of their powers (with an inevitable mental and physical deterioration); a demon steals their powers in "How To Make A Quilt Out Of Americans" (and is defeated when Prue tricks him into accessing her then-uncontrollable astral projection power, leaving his body defenseless); Phoebe's empathic power in later seasons allows her to channel the powers of other magical beings; the Hollow (introduced in "Charmed and Dangerous") allows the bearer to siphon powers from others; Cole's period in 'the Wasteland', the show's version of demon purgatory, results in him collecting powers from multiple other demons and becoming invulnerable; and the Source of all Evil is implied (most notably in ''All Hell Breaks Loose'', where this plot point is the crux of his plan to kill the Charmed Ones) to have the powers of all his demonic underlings. The show kinda likes this trope...
* A science example in ''Series/{{Farscape}}'': EvilutionaryBiologist Namtar has been genetically modifying himself with the traits and abilities of other species in a misguided pursuit for perfection. Among those traits we see demonstrated are a HealingFactor, and the ability to switch his nervous system to register pain as pleasure in the event he is attacked or injured. The plot of the episode centers on his attempts to add the multitasking capabilities of a Pilot, as well. [[spoiler: It ultimately turns out that Namtar himself was ''given'' sentience by the real head of the research project, and that he was originally just a lab rat.]]

** ''Series/KamenRiderDecade'' takes this to its logical extreme. His main gimmick is that he can use any form of the previous nine titular Kamen Riders, from Kuuga to Kiva. His SuperMode lets him use their respective SuperMode FinishingMove. Decade later returns in ''Zi-O'', using the powers of the next ten Riders as well. [[spoiler: And as of the ''Zi-O vs Decade'' special, he gains a new upgrade letting him use the Reiwa era Riders.]]

** The [[UpdatedRerelease Final Mix]] version introduces the OptionalBoss No Heart, [[spoiler: the Lingering Will version of [[BigBad Xehanort]] which takes elements from other incarnations of the villain: Xemnas's armor, Master Xehanort's Keyblade and ability to [[StormOfBlades rain Keyblades on the player]], Terranort's shotlock, and a battle theme composed of Ansem's and Xemnas's leitmotifs]].

** In ''VideoGame/MegaManX8'', we also have [[spoiler: Lumine]], who has the ability to use all the previous mavericks {{Desperation Attack}}s at any moment, it also works as FinalExamBoss, since if you are not fully upgraded most of those attacks are OneHitKill on you, so better make sure you remember how to dodge all of them.

* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' has [[spoiler: [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=003861 the bunny]] with the [[InfinityMinusOneSword near-ultimate weapons]] of all four kids. And it seems to know how to use them]].
** Also, [[spoiler: Gamzee's]] Strife Specibus, long thought to be [[spoiler: Clubkind]], turned out to be [[spoiler: Jokerkind]], meaning he can use all weapons. And they're all [[InfinityPlusOneSword deadly as hell]].

* Twice in the ''WesternAnimation/{{Superfriends}}'' episode "The Superfriends Meet Frankenstein". First with the monster getting the combined powers of Characters/{{Superman|TheCharacter}}, Characters/{{Batman|TheCharacter}}, and Characters/{{Wonder Woman|TheCharacter}} and being sent to conquer Europe by Frankenstein, then ComicBook/{{Robin}} getting the remaining dregs of their powers (making him a giant) to defeat the composite monster [[spoiler: by dosing it with [[Franchise/{{Superman}} Kryptonite]] while wearing a lead suit]]. And where exactly did those "target bodies" come from? The Monster is a giant with Batman's head, Superman's costume, Wonder Woman's lasso and green hands.
* This was the plan of the Master of Games in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Teen Titans|2003}}''. He set up a tournament for young heroes so he could capture the losers in a crystal which enabled him to use their powers as his own. [[spoiler: His plan worked until Robin the champion tricked him into fighting and freed the heroes trapped in the crystal. After the heroes left, [[HereWeGoAgain he started over with a tournament for]] ''[[HereWeGoAgain heroines]]''.]]

** The third instance is when [[spoiler: Phobos]], being the exception to the willingly relinquished rule as [[spoiler: Elyon's brother]], grabs the Seal of Nerissa and absorbs her into it, adding ''all'' the powers absorbed into it to his own. He immediately starts using it to try and conquer the universe... except that Will expected him to do this and tricked him into making an oath that would make him lose the Seal as soon as he reaches Kandrakar. And this leads us directly into the fourth and final instance.
** The fourth instance is when [[spoiler: Phobos]] puts his foot on Kandrakar and [[spoiler: Cedric]] ''eats him and the Seal'' in the one moment that would have resulted into him taking their powers. [[HowDoIShotWeb Thankfully he wasn't as good with magic as the others and had no idea how to truly use his newfound powers]]...

[[caption-width-right:244:[[WesternAnimation/CaptainPlanetAndThePlaneteers Earth! Fire! Light! …Rubber? Go Super Skrull!]]]]

* Creator/MarvelComics: Due to an accident, Combo Man -a 90's promotional character- was infused with the powers of characters in his comics. He possessed the powers and abilities of around a dozen heroes and villains, his first and only appearance had him face off against the Super-adaptoid.

* ComicBook/{{Excalibur|MarvelComics}} once combined their powers with the aid of [[Characters/MarvelComicsKittyPryde Kitty Pryde]] to enhance the abilities of ComicBook/CaptainBritain. It ... didn't make a lot of sense.

* Franchise/MarvelUniverse:
** Super Skrull had the powers of the ComicBook/FantasticFour (plus a couple of extras). Unlike most of the others on this list, Super Skrull's duplicate powers were not directly taken from the targets, but the result of reverse engineering.
** After the initial Super Skrull turned out to have some severe design flaws (and never actually did destroy the FF), other Super Skrulls were made to try to improve the outcome. For example, Paibok the Power Skrull had the combined powers of three members of the then-current X-Men (the strength, durability and steel skin of [[Characters/XMen70sMembers Colossus]], [[Characters/MarvelComicsStorm Storm]]'s ability to fly and cast lightning bolts and a freezing ray derived from [[Characters/MarvelComicsIceman Iceman]].) During ''ComicBook/SecretInvasion2008'', the Skrulls made a breakthrough that allows them to mass-produce Super Skrulls with any desired combination of powers they have samples of DNA for.
*** In ''ComicBook/UltimateFantasticFour'', the Super Skrull [[spoiler:appeared in an alternate future where everyone on Earth had super-powers. The Skrull's suit gives him the abilities of every superhuman in the area, allowing him to easily defeat the heroes. In the end, the Skrulls eradicate everyone on Earth except for a non-powered Ben Grimm. Unfortunately for Super Skrull, zero superheroes means he has zero powers, and Ben Grimm beats him with [[GoodOldFisticuffs his fists]] and is able to undo the events that create this alternate future]]. As a ShoutOut to the Super Skrull, ''Film/FantasticFourRiseOfTheSilverSurfer'' had a segment where Johnny Storm temporarily had the combined powers of his teammates.
** Xavin from ''ComicBook/{{Runaways}}'' is a Super Skrull in-training. However, unlike the original, Xavin can't use the powers simultaneously. This does result in an increased proficiency with each one than most Super Skrulls, however.

*** ''ComicBook/MarvelAdventures: The Avengers'' #19 also had the Super-Adaptoid make an appearance, and this version absorbed DNA, memories and powers. What it could also absorb [[spoiler: (and which became this version's somewhat-AchillesHeel) were some elements of the personalities of the heroes as well, so when [[Characters/MarvelComicsQuicksilver Quicksilver]] let it absorb [[Characters/MarvelComicsSteveRogers Captain America]]'s powers and skills, it also absorbed the noble and trusting nature of Captain America. It realized the Avengers were the good guys, and stood down -- because it knew "it was the right thing to do."]]
*** [=AIM=] eventually came up with a couple biological versions of the Super-Adaptoid. The first one was defeated when it absorbed Characters/TheSentry's craziness and became useless. The second turned out to get overloaded if it absorbed multiple powers in quick succession. Since it was intended to fight a team of Avengers, this turned out be a very WeaksauceWeakness. A third version was killed by Characters/{{Deadpool|WadeWilson}} when it absorbed his healing factor, it also picked up his cancer. [[Characters/MarvelComicsNormanOsborn Norman Osborn]] once turned himself into a fourth version, only to get swiftly curb-stomped when it turned out he had the same overloading weakness.

** The Avengers' frequent foe Count Nefaria once siphoned the powers of three minion-level villains ([[FlyingBrick strength from Power Man, speed and flight from Whirlwind and heat vision from the Living Laser]]) into himself (amplified to a [[BlessedWithSuck less minion-y level]]) so that he could tackle the heroes physically. The result turned him into an evil SupermanSubstitute so that the writers could do an Avengers vs. Superman battle (he can even go toe to toe with Thor).
** The Mimic started out as an ComicBook/XMen opponent before undergoing a HeelFaceTurn. He can copy anyone's powers at half-strength as long as they're within a certain radius, but maintains the powers of the five founding X-Men (the ones he faced at the time) as a default. Unfortunately, he couldn't always control it, meaning that he had an unpleasant experience when he encountered [[Characters/MarvelComicsXMan Nate Grey]], whose ''vast'' power-set included - by Grey's own account - about 300 different ways to see the future. Mimic was depressed, suffering from anxiety, and suggested to be bipolar. Oh, and his psychiatrist was Moonstone. This was ''not'' a good combination.

** Synch of ComicBook/GenerationX could copy the powers of any mutant in a certain range.

** ComicBook/XFactor villain the Isolationist similarly has every mutant power at the same time, and can't turn them off, [[BlessedWithSuck making his life a living hell]]. He gets his name from living in the Arctic to try and dull the mental noise that comes with having the power of every mutant telepath.

* The Absorbing Man started out fighting [[Characters/TheMightyThorThorOdinson Thor]] and was a deadly threat because of his ability to [[PowerCopying absorb the physical powers and attributes]] of anything he came into contact with. This, at one point, included fragments of a Cosmic Cube. Fortunately, he's not all that bright, so he could typically only absorb one person's or thing's abilities at a time. However, [[ComicBook/EarthX one alternate universe]] version has him figuring out how to tap into ''anything'' he's previously absorbed by first absorbing Ultron's computer brain, and then learning to combine their attributes into any form he wants. The end result? A guy who's capable of making SuperHeroGods sweat blood whenever they fight him just became a hell of a lot scarier.
* In the short-lived ''[[ComicBook/TheNewUniverse New Universe]]'', there was Philip Nolan Voigt (aka Overshadow, though he hardly ever used the codename) who gained souped-up versions of the powers of all paranormals he met.
** ''The New Universe'' also has Psi-Hawk, an unexplained being (ghost? psychic construct? who knows) that can be summoned by the teenage members of ComicBook/PsiForce; it possesses amplified versions of their powers.
*** Psi-Hawk reappeared in ''ComicBook/TheUltimates2015'' as Emmett Proudhawk, the psionic ghost-god member of the Eternity Battalion, who could be summoned by said group giving up all their powers and allowing him to walk the world once more. He was powerful enough to fight on a conceptual level alongside the likes of Galactus.

* In the ''ComicBook/SecretWars2015'' mini-series ''ComicBook/TheAmazingSpiderManRenewYourVows'', the BigBad of that comic is Regent, a man who has captured and stolen virtually every superhero's power in his area.
* In ''[[ComicBook/SpiderMan The Amazing Spider-Man]]'', minor villain Sin-Eater had been resurrected by the demon Kindred and given the power to take the sins and the powers of people he shoots with his magic shotgun. Besides some minor villains, the Sin-Eater has shot and stolen the powers of the Juggernaut, Mr. Negative, Count Nefaria, and his Lethal Legion among others. With this much power, there's no way Peter can defeat him and so he escapes only with the help of Green Goblin and a group of other Spider-heroes like Miles Morales, Gwen Stacy, and Jessica Drew.

* Happens a few times in ''ComicBook/{{WITCH}}'', and it's in fact a goal of multiple villains to steal the Heart of Kandrakar (one of the two sources of the Guardians' powers), complicated by the fact it has to be willingly relinquished. In chronological order, we have:
** [[{{Irony}} the Heart of Kandrakar absorbing the Seal of Phobos]] and acquiring its power to open portals in the Veil;
** Luba's tricks with the Aurameres (the source of the Guardians' powers besides the Heart of Kandrakar) resulted in the creation of a blob-like creature with the powers of Will, Irma, Taranee and Hay Lin. Said creature is later absorbed by Cornelia, who briefly has the powers of an entire group of Guardians;
** while she had all the powers of the Guardians, Cornelia accidentally created a copy of said powers and put it into Caleb. [[HowDoIShotWeb He didn't know how to use it well]], and that, combined by the fact it's not linked with either the Aurameres or the Heart, resulted in the second BigBad Nerissa successfully stealing it by force;
** and later Nerissa successfully ''stole the Heart of Kandrakar'' when, after careful psychological torture, Will decides to put Matt in the loop and lets him take the Heart in his hand, not knowing it was actually Nerissa in disguise;
** in the New Power Saga the Guardians pull it by ''accident'', creating a being with all their powers combined that defeats [[BigBad Dark Mother]];
** and the final story arc has the Guardians acquiring the power to ''become that being''.

* ''VideoGame/DyztopiaPostHumanRPG'': The {{Superboss}}, [[spoiler:Asterisk/Ophiuchus, can sync with any archdemon and changes sync partners every turn. Not only does this allow him to [[BarrierChangeBoss change his weaknesses]] and battle mechanics, this prevents the party from syncing with the archdemons, since Ophiuchus's syncs take priority]].

** The Composite Superman was a slightly odd example; while he had the combined powers of the ''Comicbook/LegionOfSuperHeroes'', his usual opponents were the Characters/{{Superman|TheCharacter}}/Characters/{{Batman|TheCharacter}} team (making him "all ''their'' powers combined"). In the Post-Crisis continuity, he was replaced by the Composite Legionnaire, who did battle the Legion and was a Durlan with the unusual ability to copy powers in addition to shapeshifting.

** After the initial Super Skrull turned out to have some severe design flaws (and never actually did destroy the FF), other Super Skrulls were made to try to improve the outcome. For example, Paibok the Power Skrull had the combined powers of three members of the then-current X-Men (the strength, durability and steel skin of [[Characters/XMen70sMembers Colossus]], [[Characters/MarvelComicsStorm Storm]]'s ability to fly and cast lightning bolts and a freezing ray derived from [[Characters/MarvelComicsIceman Iceman]].) During ''ComicBook/SecretInvasion'', the Skrulls made a breakthrough that allows them to mass-produce Super Skrulls with any desired combination of powers they have samples of DNA for.

* ''Film/{{Black Widow|2021}}'' has [[Characters/MarvelComicsTaskmaster Taskmaster]], a mercenary who has duplicated the weapons and fighting styles of several Marvel heroes. These include [[Characters/MarvelComicsSteveRogers Captain America]]'s shield, Characters/{{Hawkeye|ClintBarton}}'s bow and arrow, and Comicbook/BlackPanther's claws.

* Twice in the ''WesternAnimation/{{Superfriends}}'' episode "The Superfriends Meet Frankenstein". First with the monster getting the combined powers of Characters/{{Superman|TheCharacter}}, Characters/{{Batman|TheCharacter}}, and Characters/{{Wonder Woman|TheCharacter}} and being sent to conquer Europe by Frankenstein, then Comicbook/{{Robin}} getting the remaining dregs of their powers (making him a giant) to defeat the composite monster [[spoiler: by dosing it with [[Franchise/{{Superman}} Kryptonite]] while wearing a lead suit]]. And where exactly did those "target bodies" come from? The Monster is a giant with Batman's head, Superman's costume, Wonder Woman's lasso and green hands.

A SubTrope of ComboPlatterPowers, and a supertrope to YinYangBomb and WithOurSwordsScene. When the characters are powerless until they combine, that's WonderTwinPowers. Not to be confused with (though can be compared to) AllYourColorsCombined, where rather than one character combining the powers of others, a group of characters collectively combines powers to attack. Not the same as TogetherWeAreX, but could overlap.

** Judai did something similar in the climax of the previous series, fusing ''all six'' of the Neo-Spacians with Neos in the "Ultimate Contact Fusion" to create Elemental Hero God Neos, to finally vanquish Darkness.

* In ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/17242514/ Pokemon vs. Digimon: When Worlds Collide]]'', after Devimon comes to the Pokemon world, he eventually merges with the Fearow Ash injured on his first day as a trainer to become [=FearDevimon=], allowing him to use Pokemon attacks and significantly increasing his strength.
