Power Absorption

Coucou can absorb the powers, energies, memories, knowledge, talents, personality, and physical abilities (whether superhuman or not) of another human being (or members of some sentient alien races) through physical contact of her skin with the skin of the other person. She is not limited to absorbing superhuman abilities: for example, she has absorbed the strength, agility, and sharp reflexes of an enhanced human. She can also absorb psionic abilities. In absorbing another person's memories Coucou also gains the emotional responses connected to them. For the transfer of abilities to be accomplished, Coucou's skin must contact the skin of her victim. Coucou can only absorb abilities and memories from living organic beings. She can possess the powers of several superhuman persons at once. No upper limit has yet been determined for the number of superhuman beings whose power she can maintain simultaneously, or for the amount of power that she can absorb. Coucou can even absorb gross physical characteristics from a victim. Except for her eye color, her physical appearance does not change when she absorbs abilities and memories from a normal looking human being. The victim's abilities and memories are absorbed for a time sixty times longer than the period of time Coucou was in physical contact with that person. Those touched are rendered unconscious by contact with her, though some beings, including Behemoth and Doctor Day have resisted this effect. While for most of her life, her use of this power was involuntary, Coucou has recently gained full control over it.

This transfer is usually temporary, lasting for a period of time relative to how long contact is maintained, but the transfer may become permanent in certain cases. Most often the process happens instantly when Coucou touches someone, but in certain instances where a being has possessed an extraordinary level of power they are able to resist her, and she may only share part of their memories and power.

Her power is potentially lethal. Her first boyfriend was in a comatose state for roughly a decade after her powers first manifested when they touched. He never fully awakened, and finally passed on instead of remaining on life support; however, Coucou has never actually killed with her powers; even under the influence of Melltithio, she only sent victims into a permanent vegetative state.

As Coucou is absorbing the total psyche of a person, there is a risk of a personality overwhelming her and taking control of her body, including Changeling and Dr. Sin who both proved to be the dominant personality. It has also been shown that even though Coucou forgets the memories she has absorbed when a psyche returns to its body, 'echoes' of their personalities remain buried in her mind.

Coucou is able to absorb psyches and abilities of several beings at once, though the experience can be confusing and disorienting for her.

Robotic beings are mostly immune to her power. Depending on the amount of organics left, she can usually affect cyborgs. She seems able to affect techno-organic beings. Powerful enough beings can withstand her touch and attempt to impose their own will on her or cause a feedback loop. Coucou's power has grown over time. Initially she was unable to absorb the powers of Syber, a being of living ionic energy; however, in recent months she has been able to absorb him when previously she could not.

Although she is capable of absorbing his powers, Ironclad was able to make physical contact with her with no ill effects; however, Coucou has shown the ability to absorb him at various other times.
