Power Sponge

Name: Power Sponge 
Species: Vonnuns
Homeworld: Xupra  
Appearance: Power Sponge is a muscular humanoid with yellow and green skin. His uniform is a black and red bodysuit with a black jacket, black gloves and boots. The Omnitrix is on his right shoulder. 
Powers and Abilities: 
Life-Force Absorption: Power Sponge has the ability to absorb the life-force energy, personality, and memories of any person he touches. The people he absorbs life-force from will either lose consciousness or end up in a coma, depending on how much he drained from them. If he touches a person for too long, then he could kill them. A side effect of this ability is that Power Sponge retains a mental imprint of the person he absorbed. 
Power Absorption: Power Sponge 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 his skin with the skin of the other person. He is not limited to absorbing superhuman abilities: for example, he has absorbed the strength, agility, and sharp reflexes of an enhanced human. He can also absorb psionic abilities. In absorbing another person's memories Power Sponge also gains the emotional responses connected to them. For the transfer of abilities to be accomplished, Power Sponeg's skin must contact the skin of his victim.  Power Sponge can only absorb abilities and memories from living organic beings. He 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 he can maintain simultaneously, or for the amount of power that he can absorb. Power Sponge can even absorb gross physical characteristics from a victim. His physical appearance does not change when he 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  Power Sponge was in physical contact with that person. Those touched are rendered unconscious by contact with him, though some beings, including Michael have resisted this effect. When he first unlocked this form, his use of this power was involuntary, Power Sponge 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. For example, he absorbed Vilgax's powers permanently due to unknown reasons and he absorbed Gwen's powers permanently when he absorbed the last of her life force by accident. Most often the process happens instantly when Power Sponge touches someone, but in certain instances where a being has possessed an extraordinary level of power they are able to resist him, and he may only share part of their memories and power. His power is potentially lethal, capable of putting victims into a permanent vegetative state or even killing them outright. As Power Sponge is absorbing the total psyche of a person, there is a risk of a personality overwhelming him and taking control of his body. It has also been shown that even though Power Sponge forgets the memories he has absorbed when a psyche returns to its body, 'echoes' of their personalities remain buried in his mind. Robotic beings are mostly immune to his power. Depending on the amount of organics left, he can usually affect cyborgs. He seems able to affect techno-organic beings. Powerful enough beings can withstand his touch and attempt to impose their own will on his or cause a feedback loop. Power Sponge's power has grown over time. Initially he was unable to absorb the powers of an Andonite, a being of living energy; however, in recent months he has been able to absorb her when previously he could not. 
One-Time Power Usages: Power Sponge displayed once the ability to absorb not only the power of the person he was touching (Gwen), but also absorb the ability of the person she was touching (Kevin).
Template Recall: An ability to recall any powers he had ever absorbed, in addition to the Captain Bang's powers which always stayed "on." When he first developed this power, Power Sponge would sometimes randomly sprout claws, steel skin, or even optic blasts. Through meditation he was able to gain a limited amount of control over the templates and kept them from haphazardly manifesting. 
Weakness: 
Lack of Control: Power Sponge is unable to fully control this power, as his life-force absorbing powers are constantly active, which is why he covers every part of his body, except his head. 
Power Dependency: Power Sponge has shown he can't absorb all the powers of certain people. This was evident when he didn't absorb Wolverine's ability to generate claws because his skeletal system was infused with adamantium. 
Control Over Absorbed Powers: Even though he can absorb other powers, the control of certain powers varies; for example, he gained full control over Pyro's ability to manipulate fire. However, he visibly struggles with Shadowcat's power of chronoskimming, as she is visibly wincing in pain when trying to keep a hold of Wolverine's mind during the final battle against the Sentinels. 
Absorption limits: He can't absorb non-organic beings such as robots. 
Touch: Without his gloves, his touch put his allies into comas and most likely death. After some training, this doesn't seem to be a issue.
