Power Groove

**Debut** | TBA

**Power Groove** is the Simplicitrix/Stabilized Simplicitrix's DNA sample of a Rursusintuo Elementum from the planet Hominis.

## Appearance

Power Groove is an amorphous blob-like alien no smaller or bigger than the average ceramic bowl, entirely made out of a translucent bright purple gel-like slime, featuring several large pale yellow chunks floating from within his gel, similar to a gelatin mold, and a small pair of diagonally slanted eyes on his front side. Power Groove's base that he remains active on resembles that of a wide, flat bright red bowl with a small dark gray plate of sorts on the front side below his eyes, having a pair of glowing red ports to the sides of them.

Power Groove wears the Simplicitrix on the front side of his bowl-like base.

## Powers

* Power Groove's gel upon skin-to-skin application can regenerate and restore powers and abilities that have been lost and stolen through different means, granting the individual back the fullest extent of their former capabilities after an indeterminate, but short amount of time upon rubbing Power Groove's gel onto their skin, although the process can be shortened should they actually consume a piece of him.
	+ With repetitive applications, individuals can even retain and permanently keep temporary powers and abilities that would normally dissipate and vanish overtime, such as the temporary abilities granted by those capable of power manifestation, such as Omnibusveraxisapien or a Corvirapteryx, and also from those capable of conversion abilities, such as Ormerowons, Vampires, Caputinanesnullascogitationes, and Zasshusapiens.
	+ Power Groove can essentially duplicate any powers and abilities that have been directly stolen and absorbed through another individual, as through restoring the version wielded by the original owner, Power Groove will have indirectly created two copies assuming the absorbed version still exists.
	+ Power Groove can temporarily provide the additional protection of immunity towards power dampening onto anyone that uses his gel on themselves, even if it doesn't actually restore any of their lost abilities, rendering them resistant towards any lesser instances of power negation and suppression.
	+ Power Groove can bestow minor healing preporties through his gel, slightly speeding up the regeneration of any available injuries and wounds, directly stemming from the same restorative effect of his power recovery. The amount used dictates the amount that he can accelerate and speed up a person's recovery rate.
* Power Gel has limited elasticity and shapeshifting that allows him to leave his bowl-like base and become mobile, such as through generating and sprouting tentacle-like appendages in order to maneuver around his surroundings.

## Weaknesses

* Power Groove cannot regenerate his own gel at a conventional rate, requiring several months if not years for his species to regrow even a small fraction, meaning that heavier applications and direct consumption must be used sparingly lest it risks there being absolutely nothing left of Power Groove himself.
* Although Power Groove's power retention allows temporarily manifested powers to be presumably kept indefinitely, they can still be removed by the power negating gel of Narushatoids due to them being much less anchored within the individual's own biology and therefore much easier to remove.
* Power Groove's healing preporties are very minor in nature, and generally serve more of an added beneficial effect to his power restoration rather than a dependable source.
* Power Groove cannot leave his bowl-like base for long, as he can risk losing biomass behind the more that he stretches himself and moves around, and contaminating himself with bacteria that can decrease and hinder the effects of his restorative abilities.

## Etymology

* Power Groove's name is a play on "power move" and "groove," as in getting your groove back, referring to his power restoration abilities.
* Power Groove's species name is the Latin translation of "back in your element."

## Trivia

* Power Groove comes from the same planet as Power Gel.
* Power Groove's design was made using one of Gluto's concept art prototypes.
	+ The chunks in Power Groove's body were made using Aunt Vera's cauliflower gelatin from the original *Ben 10* series episode, *Permanent Retirement*.
* Power Groove's gel has a taste comparable to grape flavored gelatin surrounded with a paper-thin membrane that tastes like chewable plastic.
* Power Groove's powers were slightly inspired by Julieta Madrigal from *Encanto*, who is able to create health restoring food.
