Marvel Comics/Mimic

Mimic is a mutant and was the first new recruit to the original X-Men. He later became a member of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, Excalibur, and Norman Osborn's X-Men team before rejoining the X-Men at the Jean Grey School for Higher Learning.
== Powers and Abilities ==
Mimic admitted to believing that he had some latent powers since birth due to his father having experimented on himself before his birth. Caliban could sense Mimic as being "like a mutant". Later, he was confirmed to be a mutant by Professor X.
Psychomimicry: Mimic is able to copy the knowledge, skills, and powers (if any) of every individual within a certain range of him; different sources list this as anywhere from several feet or a mile radius. This applies to both super-humanoid and "normal" abilities, as shown when he duplicated athletic skill on the football field in high school. He has shown the capacity to manifest numerous normal abilities and/or super-humanoid powers at the same, and since he also absorbs knowledge, he can immediately use copied powers with the same skill level as the original owner. However, he occasionally shows difficulty in juggling multiple powers at once, and his body can be overloaded by absorbing too many at once. Usually, Mimic loses his duplicated powers once out of range of the owner, but his body will permanently retain certain powers he mimics if he spends a significant amount of time with a particular person.
* Power Mimicry: In addition to mimicking the knowledge and skills of others, he can also mimic superhuman powers. Over time, he permanently gained the ability to use the powers of the five original X-Men, including:
** Wing Protrusion: From Angel, Mimic gained the power to fly by way of wings growing from his back. However, these wings were cut off during the Extermination event for the sake of giving them to a younger version of Angel.
** Superhuman Strength/Agility: From Beast, he has gained enhanced strength and agility.
** Optic Blasts: From Cyclops, he has gained the power to fire energy beams from his eyes.
** Cryokinesis: From Iceman, he has mimicked the power to generate and control ice.
** Telekinesis: From Jean Grey, he has gained the power to move matter with his mind. However, at the time when he mimicked this power, Grey only had very limited psychokinetic powers.
