Power Switch

**Debut** | TBA

**Power Switch** is the Simplicitrix/Stabilized Simplicitrix's DNA sample of a Sakharnyy'Papochka from the planet Amperium.

## Appearance

Power Switch is an amorphous alien made out of a vibrant green gel-like sludge, colored much darker around his center and much lighter the further down his tentacle-like limbs with darker spots on his torso and arms, with the only exception being that of his face, vaguely mask-like in appearance with white skin, shiny small pupils, and an extremely wide mouth that stretches beyond the boundaries of his white face, filled entirely with wide rows of rounded white teeth. Power Switch features two long tentacles for arms, although without a discernable lower-body, instead a mass of slime that oozes outwards and down his backside.

Power Switch wears the Simplicitrix on his left bicep.

## Powers

* Power Switch's gel can absorb, transfer, and bestow the abilities of others through partially engulfing them from within the ends of his tentacles, as if he himself serves as the conduit to transfer abilities from one person to another one. While Power Switch doesn't have any trouble transferring and bestowing others with abilities that are far less demanding to extract and move around in nature, the more powerful that the ability is, the more risk there will be that the ability will reject its new owner like a failed organ transplant, meaning Power Switch must take one of their own pre-existent abilities in exchange for the one they are to be given.
* Power Switch can sense the potential within others for them to be the most compatible with certain powers, allowing him to specifically target them for his transferal in order to lessen the risk of power rejection.
* Power Switch can negate other forms of power absorption, including other members of his own species.
* Power Switch has adaptive shapeshifting that allows him to instinctually respond and react to certain scenarios and situations that would require him to shift his gelatinous biomass into certain shapes and sizes, becoming much more elastic in nature should he require malleability and flexibility, and much more condensed and compressed should he require resilience and endurance.
* Power Switch can recover lost biomass to an extent through limited regeneration.
* Power Switch has enhanced strength and durability.
* Power Switch has prehensile tentacles.

## Weaknesses

* Power Switch must almost always take a power in exchange for the one he gives should the one he offers be too powerful and naturally incompatible with its new owner, or else they will suffer power rejection, in which their gifted ability will ravage them from the inside out and go haywire until eventually destroying itself and leaving its former owner severely weakened. Power Switch cannot simply return their exchanged power either, as the strain of holding both would accelerate power rejection and end up destroying both as a result.
	+ However, Power Switch can somewhat circumvent needing to take powers in exchange for the ones he grants through only taking away a particular application of one of their powers rather than the entirety of it, such as a Chronosapien's quantum leaping rather than all of their chronokinetic abilities.
* Power Switch's power potential detection cannot detect actual powers and abilities, only the potential of someone being able to hold certain ones.
* Power Switch's power absorption negation has no effect on power replication or mimicry, only when powers are being forcefully taken and absorbed.

## Etymology

* Power Switch's name is a play on "power switch," referring to both a literal power switch that can control the flow of power to an electrical device, and his own abilities allowing him to switch the powers of others.
* Power Switch's species name is the Russian translation of "sugar daddy."

## Trivia

* Power Switch comes from the same planet as EmPowerment and Power Purge.
* Power Switch was drawn and suggested by Shark, using a scrapped Nemetrix predator design as the base.
* Power Switch's power transferal was unintentionally inspired by All For One from *My Hero Academia*, who's power stealing Quirk of the same name allows him to both take and give Quirks to others, although giving someone too many can cause so much strain that they become incapable of handling the power and are left trapped in a vegetative state.
* A working name for Power Switch was to actually flip the words around into Switch Powers, which would've been a nod to the supposed "glitch powers" found in *Ben 10*, such as Chromastone's flight, Way Big's super speed, and Echo-Echo's object duplication.
