**Dominion** (ドミニオン, *Dominion*) is a Quirk used by the villain, Superior. By planting his hand on the ground, Superior is able to drain energy from living creatures to augment his own condition.

## Description

By touching the ground with his hands, Superior is able to 'claim' a one-hundred meter area that his Quirk affects. Once three seconds have passed, every living creature within that radius will immediately and indiscriminately have their energy absorbed at a constant rate. The closer the target is to him, the faster the energy absorption will complete. As well as targets that step out of the radius will not be effected by Dominion. As long as he doesn't touch the ground again, the area will remain in the same location regardless of whether or not he moves around or even leaves the area. But once he does, Dominion will deactivate after another three seconds.

The baseline usage for Dominion is to absorb a living creatures energy and then use that energy to augment and strengthen Superior's natural condition. However after years of training he's able to use Dominion with much higher precision and for different purposes.

For example, a side effect of using his quirk is that his body is now dependent on the large inputs of energy and now experiences high levels of cellular degeneration even while Dominion isn't in effect. While using this Quirk, his condition is drastically expedited and worsened. However, by continuing to train he's able to pick and choose the type of energy he absorbs, and has learnt to siphon regenerative energy in order to slow and even completely stop his condition.

Another layer to Dominion was uncovered after learning he could absorb different types of energy. If a Quirk user is within his area, he is able to siphon their quirk and use it himself with a very minimal amount of effort. He can utilize this ability to either "borrow" a Quirk from several people at once at a fraction of their power, or fully absorb it (similar to All for One).

In the case of temporarily taking other Quirks, Superior will initially only be able to use them at a small fraction of their original power, with the stolen Quirk's potency amplifying the closer the target is to him and the longer they remain in his area of effect. However, if he wishes to permanently take a Quirk, the target must be within touching distance, and all of Superior's concentration must be directed towards this one person. It can take several seconds and/or minutes depending on the Quirk.

If he tries to permanently take the quirks of more than two people at once he'll burn himself out and likely die. Thus he chooses not to permanently take more than one Quirk at the same time. Like All For One, Dominion can be used to combine several Quirks in order to create devastating techniques, which would normally not be possible with the usage of only one Quirk.

## Weaknesses

There are some limitations to the Quirk. Aside from the cellular degeneration Superior experiences (which he overcomes through planning/strategy).

* Dominion is fairly weak in comparison to similar Quirks like All for One. By concentrating, Superior is able to increase the rate of energy absorption. This typically allows him to avoid close combat since the closer someone is to him, the less energy they have. However, he has a very clear and decided disadvantage against aerial attackers since Dominion encompasses the ground, not the air.
* Although Superior can directly control the rate of absorption, he cannot control which targets are affected within his area. This means that both allies and foes will be affected indiscriminately. It's why he prefers to work alone since Dominion is better suited for a 1v100+.
* Once Superior completely absorbs a Quirk, he's not given the information nor training necessary to use it immediately. In circumstances where he simply "borrows" a quirk, he's also given limited tactile information that he can use to guess how the quirk works. He can use this residual energy to make an educated guess, but he'll never know exactly what the extent of the Quirk is and how to use it at it's full potential. Not until he begins using it and learning himself.
* The types of energy Superior is known to absorb includes regenerative, bio-energy, life-force, and Quirk factor energy. Others might be able to be used, but since their abilities are so abstract and could have unforeseen consequences on himself, he chooses to avoid them.
