Empathic Mimicry

The ability to copy the ability of another through an emotion associated with them. Combination of Empathy and Superpower Replication. Not to be confused with Telepathic Power Replication.
==Also called == 
*Empathic Copying/Duplication/Imitation/Replication
==Capabilities==
User can duplicate the powers of those around them by channeling an emotion that are connected to the powers and reproduce them at will. (Ex, if the other subject is angry, a user can focus on the emotion in order to gain their ability, it's the same with fear etc). Either way, any emotion users' channel, can allow access to a person's power.
==Applications==
*Ability Intuition
*Knowledge Replication
*Skill Replication
*Superpower Replication
==Associations==
*Combined with Intuitive Aptitude, the user may gain Intuitive Empathic Replication and Intuitive Empathy.
*Empath
**Empathy
*Superior Superpower Replication
==Limitations==
*Users of Empathic Shield are immune.
*User may have to concentrate very hard on the person and how they made the user feel to access their powers.
**If the target has multiple powers, the user may only be able to mimic the one(s) they associate with that person.
**If the user changes the emotion they associate with the target (e.g. love turns to hate), they may lose the replicated ability.
*May be temporary.
*These powers are closely tied to emotions and if the user cannot keep their emotions balanced, they won't be able to use any powers at all.
* May not be able to control certain powers.
* May work on limited amount of targets.
*May only be able to use them when in close proximity to the source without training.
*May be limited on how long they can mimic powers in some.
*May be defeated by someone with Power Erasure or Superpower Immunity.
*Cannot mimic powers from someone with Apathy.
**If the user acquires apathy by another means, the two powers may clash.
*Requires Empathy (as either a power or a personality trait). 
*Unable to copy from those with Power Mimicry Immunity.
*The power wouldn't work on technological beings.
*Despite the powers being copied from other opponents, the powers will still have every single weakness that the abilities would possibly possess; for example, Fire Manipulation is useless against Water Manipulation, and users of Fire Immunity.
*Cannot replicate most Omni Powers.
*It may not work if the target is too much more powerful than the user.
