Jungian Archetype Mimicry

The power to use the abilities of a Jungian archetype. Sub-power of Collective Unconscious. Technique of Archetype Manipulation.
==Also Called==
*Jungian Archetype Physiology
*Jungian Archetype Empowerment/Channeling
==Capabilities==
User with this ability either is or can transform into a Jungian archetype, highly developed elements of the collective unconscious. The archetypes correspond to a person's self or selves that is unique to them, and that differ from one to the next.
Every human being is the result of various parts working together to form a unified whole. A master of this ability can even cause other people's psyched to be shattered. These parts (according to Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung) are commonly identified as:
== Applications (Jungian Archetypes) ==
*The True-Self: The true essence of someone, the "divine within us", capable of assuming Alpha, Pure Form and/or Transcendent Physiology. Although the Sentry and Thor aren't users, they illustrate it very well since they both are practically the true super-egos of Ronald Reynolds and Donald Blake respectively.
*The Ego: The part of us which is connected to reality and cares not for good nor evil. It only exists to keep the physical body from dying and only believes in survival. It is our egoism, animal instincts, our biological urges. It is capable of Reality Anchoring, Predator Instinct and Animal Morphing.
*Shadow: A mirror of everything negative within us. The Void (Marvel Universe) is a good example, as it is an Animated Shadow. It represents the desires and urges that we try to repress in order to live in society. The more stress that builds up from repressing the shadow, the more powerful it becomes and the faster it assumes control of the mind. It has the power of Dark Form and/or Monster Physiology, much like the Hulk, although he isn't a user. Shadows can be rather intimidating, thus inspiring fear in the person that has been facing it.
**Collective Shadow: Part of the extended Jungian philosophy and the collective negativity of an entire nation, group or people, it is the destructive elements a society must learn to counter and confront or risk such disasters as dictatorships, anarchy, social collapse, discrimination, crime and war; like all Jungian archetypes the Collective Shadow is eternal and cannot be destroyed, merely confronted, in fact despite its apparently "evil" nature it is important for without it a society would stagnate (all Jungian archetypes are dualistic in nature).
*The Anima/Animus: It represents our desires concerning the opposite sex. For a male it is the anima, for a female it is called the animus. It personifies the idealized version of something or someone that we desire to have for ourselves. As it is an idea, it has Illusion, Dream and Emotion Manipulation. Users affected by this will liberate or become its opposite gender.
*The Persona: The human sate or human form, the "mask" we use every day and pretend to be the real us. It is our normal self, and therefore has Human Physiology or Disguise. This is normally used as a trick by deities such as Odin and Zeus to walk around mortals.
==Examples==
Many powerful beings across mythology, legends and popular culture, such as deities, monsters, angels and other creatures seem to be able to acquire a human form, which is the manifestation of their inner selves. Some examples are:
*The protagonists in the "Persona" series of video games.
*Thor, who becomes Dr. Donald Blake and admits being a part of him as much as he is a part of Thor.
*The Hulk, who becomes Bruce Banner and is even shattered away from him in many situations.
* The Sentry/The Void, who are parts of Robert Reynolds psyche.
