My character, swallowX, has to face different opponents on a war field, that is why he
has the capacity to choose to absorb things and mix abilities, adapting at his best to any situation.
I was thinking about a modern war scenario in modern city, with regular military operators alongside with superhuman -villains or heros- fighting each other.
In this scenario there are many useful things that swalloX can use at his own advantage, such as military weapons, insects, elements and many others.
Due to the fact he's able to absorbe only 3 abilities at the same time, he has to choose wisely and based on the enemy he's fighting against.
I chose this 3 reference types:
A military vehicle, with a cannon and a strong armor made of steel (which is always useful, right?);
A cockroach, because they're very fast and can also give the ability to fly, even if for a small period of time.
Electricity as an element that can provide him a great ability, used as a pure attack or a reinforcement of other attacks. Other than that, electricity is easily accessible in a modern city like i imagined him to be fighting in.
