'Ethan' (his presumed name) is an evolved human with the power of Empathic Skill Absorption. He is second in command of the evolved human group REBEL.
History
Ethan is a man roughly in his twenties who suffered from a case of total amnesia. In 2007, he had borrowed the power of time space manipulation and appeared having no knowledge of his past or even his name only a partial note written to ‘Ethan’. He assumed that he only had the power of ability replication until he discovered that he could mimic the powers of others by sensing the emotions that functioned as a trigger for their ability. He doesn’t speak very often of his past before REBEL, but Micah considers him a friend and ally. He only stands about 5’ 7” and is very slender with short black hair and brown eyes. He is often accused of being significantly younger than he actually is. However, despite his appearance, he is very agile and extremely adept at using abilities, often able to master them within seconds of using them. A side effect of his ability to sense the emotions of others makes him somewhat oblivious to his own. He tends to joke even in the most intense of situations which leads others to believe that he doesn’t take anything seriously. He also tends to act impulsively as he tends to lack fear or restraint. Despite three years having elapsed since his amnesia he has been unable to locate any friends or family from his past life and even Micah admits that there appears to be no information about his past existence.
Powers
Ethan has the power of empathic skill absorption. Ethan’s main ability is similar to empathy but he can utilize his empathy to sense the emotional triggers of other’s abilities and then mimic their abilities. However, Ethan appears to have a subconscious limit to his ability as he can only mimic up to four different abilities at one time, but he can choose to remove an ability to make room for another. Because mimicking abilities in this manner takes time, Ethan mimics ability replication to borrow abilities in clutch situations. Ethan has very precise control over the abilities he mimics shortly after he acquires them. Gabriel Grey even admits that Ethan’s adaptation is similar to his own. Because Ethan relies on emotions for his abilities, events that emotionally compromise him can leave him in a weakened state. Although Ethan’s ability can be blocked by mental manipulation, the Haitian notes that Ethan is difficult to block and the Haitian cannot block others nearby while focusing on Ethan.
