Adaptive Ability	comment	You know the old saying "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger"? This is the dire half-dragon version of that. The Adaptive Ability is a power to adapt to any power used against it. Hit this enemy with a fireball? Next time it's immune to fire. Same with any Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors attack. Cut it, it now has armor. Psychic powers, it now has mindshields. A long fall might give it wings. Try to Tele-Frag it? Now warping into where it is will redistribute you. Logic would dictate the "easy" way to beat it is to use an overwhelming attack to begin with. However, this goes against most heroic codes, so by the time they've slowly cranked up the power of their attacks, the villain has "adapted" quite a bit. Beings with an Adaptive Ability are very often Social Darwinists, if they're not mindless monsters. When combined with a sufficient Healing Factor, it can effectively make them invincible. The result is It Only Works Once. The good guys will easily be convinced that Evil Evolves. The functional opposite is Power Copying. Compare and with Energy Absorption and Feed It with Fire, where the defender is actually powered by being attacked (with "energy" and fire, respectively). One subtrope is Acquired Poison Immunity. A creature with this ability has a high chance of being an Ultimate Life Form. See also Adaptive Armor. If you were looking for a character in an adapted work with an ability they didn't have in the original, see Adaptational Badass.

Adaptive Ability / int_1367cea0	comment	In Worm, the villain Crawler has this power along with a massive Healing Factor. Whenever he suffers an injury, he regenerates in seconds and becomes slightly more resistant to that type of injury as well as more dangerous overall. He deliberately throws himself into harm's way by fighting powerful enemies in order to become stronger. At one point, one of his clones is exposed to a nanothorn attack that takes most of his body apart on a molecular scale... which causes the destroyed portion of his body to grow back with biological nanomachines that can disintegrate anything he touches. The heroes only manage to kill him by carpet bombing the area he's in with supervillain-made bombs which turn his entire body into glass at once, leaving nothing left to do any adapting.

After beating everyone else, including Professor Xavier, the Adaptoid fights the Mimic to a standstill until the Mimic throws the match and psychically convinces the Super-Adaptoid to copy his powers. The Mimic's own power is to copy other people's powers, just like the Super-Adaptoid. The attempt to copy that power exceeds the Super-Adaptoid's capacity to duplicate. The feedback also temporarily shuts down the Mimic's powers.

Adaptive Ability / int_1cc09117	comment	Bleach: Every time he became injured or close to death, the Hogyoku gave Aizen a new form to counter it — at least until the Hogyoku got sick of it and withdrew its support. Yhwach's Schrift allows him to assess everything that's thrown at him and predict accordingly. Haschwalth, then Yhwach himself, both assert that, once Yhwach has seen all that his opponent is capable of (or even what they will do in the near future), defeating him is next to impossible. Mayuri Kurotsuchi reveals in the Thousand Year Blood War arc that he modified his Bankai to give it this ability. After gathering information on an enemy, it "gives birth" to a creature most suited to fighting it. However, this creature is limited by the data Mayuri gathered beforehand; when he used it against Pernida, the creature was immune to Pernida's primary ability which he had been using almost exclusively, but was swiftly destroyed when he resorted to an entirely different form of attack, which rather insultingly was just the standard Quincy reishi bow and arrows. Sternritter "D" of "The Deathdealing" Askin Nakk Le Vaar has this as part of his Poisonous Person powers; by taking in a large amount of the substance he intends to make lethal, he can no longer be killed by said substance because he can adjust his resistance to it. It also works wonders for defense in that he tanks his opponent's attacks before adjusting his resistance to their Reiatsu, thus rendering all subsequent attacks useless. Urahara Kisuke's bankai has the ability to dissect and modify anything it wishes. When used defensively, it can take something damaged and make it stronger, and help it recover from or even resist whatever damaged it in the first place. Combined with his analytical mind, which enables him to counter any ability he's adjusted to, this makes him an extremely adaptable opponent and nigh-impossible to beat if you fail to do so in your first attempt.

Adaptive Ability / int_29984214	comment	In the climax of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Battle Tendency, the last remaining Pillar Man, Kars uses the Red Stone of Aja combined with a modified Stone Mask to evolve into what's described as the Ultimate Life Form. In this state, he has the power of the entire biosphere at his whim, able to transform his entire body or parts of it into that of every species of animal in existence. He is effectively immune to every possible means of physical attack because he could simply change into a resistant form before it even hit him; the only feasible way to stop him is to completely destroy every cell of his body. Even when thrown into an active volcano, where he actually does take damage (since there's no living thing in the world that has adapted to survive being hurled into magma for very long), Kars languishes only a little while before he creates a shell of sponge-like armor constantly producing pockets of air to insulate him from the immense heat and prevent the magma from making direct contact. Critically, he can create Hamon as intense as the surface of the Sun; e.g., when he struck Joseph's leg with a Hamon-infused blow, Stroheim described the effect as Joseph's flesh being liquefied and vaporizing almost instantly. Ironically, his awesome power swiftly becomes his doom; when his Hamon comes in contact with the Red Stone directly, it is magnified immensely, generating a concentrated beam firing down into the magma chamber that causes the volcano to undergo an eruption. Unable to stop his velocity in time, Kars is ejected beyond the atmosphere where his body 'adapts' and turns into an inanimate husk of organic flesh and hard minerals to survive in the vacuum of space, all while begging for death that will never to come to his immortal self until his mind eventually goes silent from the sheer boredom.

For example, if it was defeated by having its rear armor destroyed, its next form will have more armor on its rear. It also changes which weapons it adds depending on how effective they were (e.g., if it killed the player using lasers frequently in one round, expect it to have a lot more lasers in the next round).

Adaptive Ability / int_3aeb1c75	comment	Dragon Ball: Anyone with Saiyan blood will receive large increases in strength upon recovering from near-fatal injuries. The Saiyans are the embodiment of Friedrich Nietzsche's famous quote "What does not kill me makes me stronger". If they are near-death for whatever reason, when they are recovered, they will come back stronger. This also works with actual death, provided there's a way to come Back from the Dead afterward. A few enemies were too powerful for this to matter much, though. In the manga version of Dragon Ball Super, Future Trunks theorizes that this Saiyan ability yields diminishing returns over time, as in the manga version of his arc, he, Goku, and Vegeta get injured and healed several times and the strength increase is negligible. Dragon Ball Z: Super Saiya Densetsu has this implemented: if a Saiyan character wins a battle with 5 or less HP remaining, they gain a level immediately no matter what. Goku's adaptive ability allows him to become immune to almost any technique he has seen at least once. Like Shishioh, it's because he innately knows how to counter them. This is best seen with his fight against Cell in Dragon Ball Z, in which all Cell's copied techniques fail to harm Goku. Since Cell was partially cloned from Saiyan cells, he has this ability as well. In fact, the combined abilities to self-destruct + regenerate From a Single Cell + come back stronger from a near-death experience is quite dangerous. In Dragon Ball Z: The Return of Cooler, after his original body is all but destroyed, Cooler's mind merges with a sentient supercomputer/spaceship called the Big Gete Star. The ship rebuilds him as a robot, and now, thanks to the ship's enormous resources, whenever Cooler's body is damaged, the ship simply repairs his body or fabricates a new one with whatever vulnerabilities it learned about removed. This comes to a head when the computer decides Cooler's main flaw is that there's only one of him. Cue enormous army of Meta-Coolers, averting Conservation of Ninjutsu in that each copy is equally as strong as the original. Goku Black from Dragon Ball Super possess an enhanced version of the Saiyan's power-up ability in that any damage caused to him will instantly cause him to become stronger. His powers have gone from being as strong as Super Saiyan 3 Goku to being able to No-Sell Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan Vegeta in his base form before unlocking his Super Saiyan Rose transformation that handily curb-stomps him. And this is only the start of a series of power-ups that he obtains. Hit can improve his Time Stands Still ability when facing opponents powerful enough to overcome its current limits. Ganos' True Form works in the exact opposite way of Hit: his techniques don't improve, but he constantly gains strength, speed and resistance as he fights against a strong opponent. In Dragon Ball Super: Broly, Broly is a mutant with a more advanced version of the Saiyan adaptability. He can make himself become more powerful during battle if he is being overwhelmed by his current opponent, though there is a limit on how powerful he can become this way before he needs to rely on regular training or the standard Saiyan power-up after severe injury. Also, each time he unlocks a new Super Mode, his mutant adaptability starts up again to maximize that form's power unless he's overwhelmed too fast for it to take full effect.

Adaptive Ability / int_3ef1def5	comment	The Death of Superman: Doomsday is a notable example because his Adaptive Ability allows him to literally come back from the dead immune to whatever killed him in the first place on top of his Healing Factor. It says something when the DCU heroes, after exhausting just about every option available to hurt/kill him, eventually have to send him to the end of time just to stop his rampage. In some stories, Doomsday becomes able to adapt offensive abilities to counter his opponents. For example, when fighting Martian Manhunter, he becomes able to hit intangible beings and breathe fire, as fire is a Martian's weakness. When Superman tries fighting him at a distance, he becomes able to fire his spikes like harpoons.

They try to shoot out its eyes, it grows several new sets covered in armor plating. They try to poison it, it starts spraying out jets of high-pressure blood to get the poison out. Thankfully, the adaptations wear off after a short while. This is the main reason they refuse to use nuclear weapons on it: if it survives, it'll be immune to pretty much anything. The Foundation once tried to kill it by using an SCP with the power to change the universal constants of physics within its boundaries. 682 not only adapted to survive as it always does, it found the experience fun. SCP-1550 ("Dr. Wondertainment's Custom-Petsâ„¢"). When their eggs (called Adapto-Eggs) are placed in a certain environment, they will hatch into a creature suited for that environment, e.g. putting one in water will cause it to develop gills and flipper-like tails. Although putting the eggs somewhere inhospitable (e.g. a vat of molten iron) will destroy them.

Adaptive Ability / int_44127c7c	comment	Power Rangers uses this every so often: The Warzord Cyclopsis from Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers acted like this after it was rebuilt by Lokar. In a bit of a subversion, that "evolution" disappeared after the Rangers retreated and when they came back to fight, they knew how to overcome it (rapidly switching tactics). "Overload! Overload! Too many changes!" Hatchasarus was repeatedly destroyed and would reassemble with more bling (though not necessarily directly related to what had killed him before). He can't be taken down for good until Cardiatron (the giant, floating heart that is its central computer) is destroyed. Chameliac from Lost Galaxy copied the Rangers' moves and tactics. Here, the Rangers overcame this by switching their usual attacks, ie. Maya used Kai's style of fighting, Transdagger mode, etc. This extended into the Megazord battle, where he cloned the Stratoforce Megazord's big boomerang blade thing...only to find Stratoforce had instead brought the BFG used by the Centarus Megazord! Sawbot from Power Rangers RPM was intentionally designed to collect data on the Rangers' moves and tactics; once the first one was destroyed, a second one was created with all the data necessary to counter the Rangers. Here, the solution was to have Gem and Gemma fight it, since the first Sawbot didn't fight them and therefore couldn't counter their tactics. It then grew as usual, with the solution to the problem of it knowing all the Megazord attacks was to create a new formation, the Mach Megazord (the combination of Gem and Gemma's Zords with the new Whale Jumbo Jet, which Doctor K had just reprogrammed from being Venjix's doomsday attack jet).

This is also the reason why his condition can't be cured — his body adapts to whatever agent is used to prevent the change. Mainstream Hulk has this too, but to a lesser degree and with less consistency since it's one of his lesser known/used/liked powers. He's been shown adapting the ability to breathe under water and survive the vacuum of space for extended periods. In Ultimate X-Men, Wolverine is implied to be the same; in addition to regenerating damaged tissue, his Healing Factor can modify his physiology to compensate for life-threatening injuries. For example, decapitating him results in him developing the ability to directly oxygenate the blood for his brain through his skin. When his severed head is put in a total vacuum, he goes into stasis until brought out. Ultimate Nick Fury theorizes that Wolverine's mutant power is less "Healing Factor" and more "survive anything". Well, that works until Magneto kills him by simultaneously destroying every cell in his body in Ultimatum.

Adaptive Ability / int_5bfa9c98	comment	Warframe: The Sentients were designed with the ability to adapt to almost any harmful conditions that they could encounter, with the sole exception being exposure to the Void. They also had a fairly extreme Healing Factor, which meant that if one were to blow of a Sentient's limb, they would grow it back, the severed limb would regrow into a duplicate of the first, and both would now be effectively immune to the weapon you used. Sentients in-game lack this ability due to Void exposure rendering them infertile. When they rebelled against the Orokin, they were only stopped when the Orokin weaponised and deployed the Tenno, who channeled the Void to fight. In gameplay terms, Sentient fighters (Battalysts, Conculysts and Mimics) will gain a 95% damage reduction to the damage type that was most used on it when reduced to certain health thresholds. This forces the player to either bring a varied selection of elements on their weapons, or switch to Operator Mode and blast them with Void Energy to reset their resistances. The Adaptation mod, fittingly enough, grants this to any Warframe that equips it. With it equipped, incoming attacks will grant a stacking damage resistance buff to the player. With careful setup, even the squishiest of Warframes can become quite durable with this mod. The buff is determined by the whichever damage type makes up the majority of the attack (an attack that deals a mixture of Impact, Puncture and Slash will only grant resistance to one, while the other two will continue to deal full damage). The amount of resistance gained is determined by the rank of the mod, not the strength of the attack itself (so rapid-fire, weaker attacks will get you to the cap much quicker than slower, hard-hitting attacks). The aforementioned cap is a 90% damage reduction, regardless of the mod's level. Finally, there is no limit to the number of damage types you can adapt to at once, but each buff will disappear after a set time if you don't get damaged again by the same damage type.

Adaptive Ability / int_5d646721	comment	In Star Trek: Elite Force, Seven came up with the IMod (Infinity Modulation Weapon), a weapon that unleashes devastating energy in a single burst (at least against the Borg), and also automatically changes energy signatures. Normal phasers and phase rifles can do the same thing as the IMod, but must be manually changed to new frequencies, will take time as you do said changing, and are limited in power. Human (and alien) imagination being what it is, it's not easy to keep coming up with random frequencies. However, in the first mission of the sequel (taking place in parallel with the Grand Finale of Star Trek: Voyager), the Borg aboard the sphere come up with a counter to the I-MOD by generating an interference field that disables the weapon, forcing you to rely on other weapons and use them sparingly.

Adaptive Ability / int_62570927	comment	Marvel Universe: Lots of anti-super robots: later models of the mutant-hunting Sentinels (especially in the Bad Future of Days of Future Past), the Fury (from Captain Britain: A Crooked World), and the Shiva series. X-Men: The appropriately named Darwin has this as his mutant power — he will immediately mutate whatever he needs to survive. Immerse him in water and he'll grow gills, burn him and he becomes fireproof, poison him and his body chemistry shifts to neutralize it, etc. It's really too bad that it only happens as an unconscious survival mechanism; with control over that power, he'd be damn near omnipotent. It should be noted that his powers don't always give him the ability needed to win a fight, only to survive. When faced with the Hulk, he gained the ability to teleport several states away. An X-Factor (2006) tie-in to Secret Invasion (2008) has a Skrull describe his race's Voluntary Shapeshifting as an adaptive ability similar to Darwin's. Random, another Marvel mutant, whose other power is turning his hands into guns. Another X-Man, Lifeguard, gets whatever power is needed to save someone else and only "someone else". The power does nothing to help if Lifeguard's own life is the one in danger. There is a robot appropriately named the Super-Adaptoid who does this by way of Power Copying. In a Fantastic Four comic, it's defeated by Ben Grimm a.k.a. the Thing, who is his normal human self at the time, but wearing a suit that still gives him Super-Strength. Ben Grimm tricks the Adaptoid into copying his normal human self, then uses the suit's power to punch the Adaptoid out in one blow. An early X-Men comic during the Mimic's brief tenure as a hero pits him against the Super-Adaptoid, who has already perfected the abilities of The Avengers. After beating everyone else, including Professor Xavier, the Adaptoid fights the Mimic to a standstill until the Mimic throws the match and psychically convinces the Super-Adaptoid to copy his powers. The Mimic's own power is to copy other people's powers, just like the Super-Adaptoid. The attempt to copy that power exceeds the Super-Adaptoid's capacity to duplicate. The feedback also temporarily shuts down the Mimic's powers. Ultimate Marvel: In The Ultimates, the Hulk has this to a degree — he has adapted to environments as extreme as the (simulated) surface of Venus. This is also the reason why his condition can't be cured — his body adapts to whatever agent is used to prevent the change. Mainstream Hulk has this too, but to a lesser degree and with less consistency since it's one of his lesser known/used/liked powers. He's been shown adapting the ability to breathe under water and survive the vacuum of space for extended periods. In Ultimate X-Men, Wolverine is implied to be the same; in addition to regenerating damaged tissue, his Healing Factor can modify his physiology to compensate for life-threatening injuries. For example, decapitating him results in him developing the ability to directly oxygenate the blood for his brain through his skin. When his severed head is put in a total vacuum, he goes into stasis until brought out. Ultimate Nick Fury theorizes that Wolverine's mutant power is less "Healing Factor" and more "survive anything". Well, that works until Magneto kills him by simultaneously destroying every cell in his body in Ultimatum. Lunatik, Marvel's even-further-over-the-top parody of Lobo, has been adapting for six hundred million years, having started as a microbe and eventually eating all life on his homeworld. The alien Kree were stuck in an evolutionary dead end, unable to adapt or mutate; so after trying a number of less-than-ideal solutions (breeding hybrids with other species led to social stratification and prejudice, setting off a mutagenic bomb led to — well, a huge frikkin' bomb that killed half their population and left most of the rest sick and dying) they eventually turned themselves into the Ruul, who can self-adapt to any condition. Later writers seem to have undone most of this for no reason other than Status Quo Is God. One of Spider-Woman Jessica Drew's original powers is that she becomes immune to any poison after being affected by it once. The short-lived villain Freak from Spider-Man: Brand New Day becomes horribly deformed after an accidental chemical bath, but as a result is able to form a cocoon around himself when he dies and regenerate with an adaptation against whatever killed him. Such deaths include being set on fire (resulting in a leathery hide), getting shot (armour plating), and strangulation (thicker musculature, particularly around the neck), but he is always just as hideous as before, and all he does with his powers is try to find more drugs to snort up. The original run of New Warriors has a character with this ability named Helix. He grows spikes, blades, armor plates, whatever he needs against whatever is being used against him, but the adaptations quickly fade if he isn't being attacked. He's initially an antagonist, then is found to only be afraid and lashing out, and starts staying with the team. However, he only lasts a few issues before leaving, probably because he would almost inevitably win any fight he got into, making the Warriors too strong.

In 4th edition, all demon type enemies gain the ability to immediately become resistant to any elemental energy type attack (acid, cold, fire, lightning, thunder) after you hit them with it once.

Adaptive Ability / int_714b2a93	comment	Parahumans: In Worm, the villain Crawler has this power along with a massive Healing Factor. Whenever he suffers an injury, he regenerates in seconds and becomes slightly more resistant to that type of injury as well as more dangerous overall. He deliberately throws himself into harm's way by fighting powerful enemies in order to become stronger. At one point, one of his clones is exposed to a nanothorn attack that takes most of his body apart on a molecular scale... which causes the destroyed portion of his body to grow back with biological nanomachines that can disintegrate anything he touches. The heroes only manage to kill him by carpet bombing the area he's in with supervillain-made bombs which turn his entire body into glass at once, leaving nothing left to do any adapting. Ward introduces Goddess, who can make herself immune to power affects after "tuning" to them. Not as nearly effective as Crawler's, since it takes time and doesn't provide protection from physical force.

The second is that he adapts to the player's tactics, such that the same tricks will not work more than once. If you ambush him from the vents, he'll freeze all of the vents shut; if you attack through the windows, he'll ice them over to make them unbreakable; if you use the electromagnet to attack him, he'll sabotage it and make it inoperable — and so on.

Sure enough, without any further fights with the Jem'hadar, the Defiant's shields have been adapted by O'Brien and his teams to block the phased polaron fire, if only for a few shots. After "The Ship", the polaron beams are no longer any more effective than phasers or disruptors.

When a platform is destroyed, the runtimes operating it will return to the main collective if there is a comm buoy in range (hence why Legion can get killed in the Suicide Mission; he tries that, but there are no buoys in range). Extrapolating, any info on new tactics and weapons will be returned too, so while they may not have instant immunity like the Borg, they will develop countermeasures much more quickly than any other race, which is the crux of the quarians' problems come the attempt to retake Rannoch; the geth adapt to their hacking attempts far too quickly to be effective until Admiral Xen makes a breakthrough. Biologically, the vorcha. Roughly humanoid aliens with no abundance of intellect, their bodies contain numerous pockets of undifferentiated cells, allowing each individual vorcha to adapt to new environmental influences. For instance, vorcha that land on higher-gravity worlds will develop stronger bones and muscles to compensate. When the Reapers invade, vorcha prove difficult for them to subdue, as they can adapt to ignore poisoned water supplies, or even Indoctrination.

Adaptive Ability / int_7ceff43d	comment	Titan from Super Powereds. His power responded to frustration so that not only would he become tougher if he was ever actually hurt by a physical attack, but he would also become stronger if he ever failed to overcome a physical challenge like lifting a heavy object. He also reveals that his son Hershel inherited a different version of the same power. When kids were bullying him in school, Hershel's power manifested as his Superpowered Alter Ego Roy, who is stronger, more muscular, taller, and more social than Hershel. Everyone thinks that Hershel is just a shifter, until Titan reveals that Roy is a manifestation of Hershel's ideal self. This comes up, when Roy hits his physical limit, unable to lift 800-lb. weights no matter how many times he's able to lift 750-lb. weights. Titan explains that Hershel needs to start pushing himself in training as well, allowing his adaptive ability to raise Roy's Cap. For Titan, this also applies to superpowers. Certain abilities no longer affect him (as much) after the first exposure. For example, when Aether tries to phase him through a wall, it doesn't work because Titan once fought a criminal super with a similar power, so his body adapted to counter it. He could temporarily disable it, but he has to constantly focus on it. Healing Hands also don't work on him for the same reason, but he has a limited Healing Factor to compensate. He specifically told the government to keep a certain super on-hand with the power to cause fatal brain aneurysms in order to take Titan down, if he ever turned rogue. It would only work once, though, as a botched attempt would make him immune.

Adaptive Ability / int_81692f99	comment	Star Trek: The Borg from Star Trek: The Next Generation are explicitly described as being able to adapt to anything used against them, so most weapons will only work two or three times before they lose most effectiveness. Melee attacks have a better chance of succeeding, but you're still fighting a cyborg with super-strength. Worf and Data do fine, but a Red Shirt tried to rifle butt a drone and got trounced. Data rampaging in Engineering also got him thrown behind a forcefield eventually, if only because the Queen was in the room. In Star Trek: Elite Force, Seven came up with the IMod (Infinity Modulation Weapon), a weapon that unleashes devastating energy in a single burst (at least against the Borg), and also automatically changes energy signatures. Normal phasers and phase rifles can do the same thing as the IMod, but must be manually changed to new frequencies, will take time as you do said changing, and are limited in power. Human (and alien) imagination being what it is, it's not easy to keep coming up with random frequencies. However, in the first mission of the sequel (taking place in parallel with the Grand Finale of Star Trek: Voyager), the Borg aboard the sphere come up with a counter to the I-MOD by generating an interference field that disables the weapon, forcing you to rely on other weapons and use them sparingly. In the end, the Borg have failed to adapt to only one thing: sheer overwhelming firepower. That said, their adaptive ability means a Borg ship or drone can take far more punishment than they should... And Borg ships are massive. The Federation itself is a milder example than the Borg, but they have been somewhat accurately compared to the Borg before, in both the assimilation aspect and the adaptation. But since the show's protagonists are from the UFP, they are never the villains of the show from a normal perspective. Except for Section 31. Whenever they are faced with a cloaking device that actually cloaks a ship from their sensors, the Federation quickly begins work on adapting sensors. When the USS Odyssey is destroyed and the Defiant later disabled easily by mere Jem'hadar fighters (that later on become little more than cannon fodder) using "some kind of phased polaron beam", the DS9 crew sets about developing countermeasures. Sure enough, without any further fights with the Jem'hadar, the Defiant's shields have been adapted by O'Brien and his teams to block the phased polaron fire, if only for a few shots. After "The Ship", the polaron beams are no longer any more effective than phasers or disruptors. The Breen energy-dampening weapon can easily disable Romulan, Klingon, or Starfleet ships even with shield and ablative armor. For a while the only defense is a modification to the tritium intermix of the warp core—but only Klingon ships have one. At most two episodes after Kira, Odo, Garak, and Damar steal a Jem'hadar fighter being retrofitted with the energy-dampening weapon in "Tacking Into the Wind", Starfleet engineers have worked out how to completely counteract the weapon for Federation and Romulan ships. The entirety of the Federation's fight/contingency against the Borg after the Battle of Wolf 359 is a massive quest to adapt their technology to be able to effectively fight the Borg, adapt their weapons and shields in combat just as the Borg do, and generally out-adapt the Borg just enough to survive and win the day, with overkill being happily accepted. It's actually been hinted at that the Borg keeps attacking the Federation but always backs off instead of going all the way and wiping them out because the Federation keeps coming up with better weapons that they can then later steal and use for themselves, since the Borg can't come up with new inventions on their own. The first time Gorn hatchlings are encountered in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds they are invisible to scanners and highly resistant to phaser fire. The next time they are encountered, a season later, engineers have solved the problem with offscreen research.

Its irregular genetic structure is easily influenced by its surroundings, allowing it to evolve into (currently) eight different PokÃ©mon to survive in any habitat; Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon, Espeon, Umbreon, Leafeon, Glaceon, or Sylveon. Porygon2's Conversion2 move will randomly change its type to one that resist the last damage-dealing move that it was hit by. For example, if the last such move was Grass-type, Porygon2 might become Electric-type, Grass-type, Ground-type or Water-type. Kecleon's Color Change ability allows it to take on the typing of every move it's hit by. This serves to handily negate whatever type effectiveness is used against it more than once — except for when it's hit by a Dragon- or Ghost-type move, as those types are weak against themselves, meaning that using such a move on Kecleon actually makes it weaker to these attacks then it was before (it starts off respectively immune and neutral to them). Oops. The ability Download boosts the attack stat of the Pokemon based on which of the defense stats of the opponents is lower. Arceus downplays this in the main games: its Plates can allow it to become any of the series' types, but it can't change it in the middle of the battle. Other works play this trope straighter: In the anime, it can freely change between types on a whim in order to resist or negate any attack it sees coming its way. The Legend Plate in PokÃ©mon Legends: Arceus lets Arceus transform into whatever type will cause its Judgment move to deal the most damage every time it uses it on an enemy, while also prioritizing types that most resist attacks from the target's own type. Variations of the glitch MissingNo. have no type themselves, and therefore take the type of the last PokÃ©mon loaded. Sometimes invoked by players in the more random battle facilities in the series — Battle Tower, Battle Frontier, Battle Subway and Battle Maison — as part of the AI. Jossed by RNG-researching hackers who assert that opponents' sets do not take player PokÃ©mon into account. Some players go well beyond streaks of 50, 100 or 200 victories to attain 1,000 or more wins in a row.

Adaptive Ability / int_a03824e8	comment	The DCU: The Death of Superman: Doomsday is a notable example because his Adaptive Ability allows him to literally come back from the dead immune to whatever killed him in the first place on top of his Healing Factor. It says something when the DCU heroes, after exhausting just about every option available to hurt/kill him, eventually have to send him to the end of time just to stop his rampage. In some stories, Doomsday becomes able to adapt offensive abilities to counter his opponents. For example, when fighting Martian Manhunter, he becomes able to hit intangible beings and breathe fire, as fire is a Martian's weakness. When Superman tries fighting him at a distance, he becomes able to fire his spikes like harpoons. Lobo has this as a side-effect of his Healing Factor. As with most of his powers, how effective or what it works on varies wildly between stories and writers. One notable problem arises when a magic spell de-ages him, and also results in him become immune to that kind of magic. Unfortunately, the traditional cure for his condition is from the same type of magic... Legion of Super-Heroes member and eventual traitor Nemesis Kid has the power to gain whatever abilities are needed to defeat any single opponent. This backfires when he faces Projectra, after murdering her husband Karate Kid. His powers give him the ability to see through her illusions, but when he tries to gloat over her helplessness, she snaps his neck with her bare hands. Whenever Resurrection Man is killed by something, he is reborn immune to the way he died. In fact, when he was killed by extreme pain, he came back as a woman, because women are supposedly more resistant to pain.

This shikigami is known as Eight-Handled Sword Divergent Sila Divine General Mahoraga, known more simply as Mahoraga. How it does its power adapting is both unique and terrifying. It adapts to results of attacks in general, and not specific techniques or skills. In a nutshell, it can resist all slashing attacks once it recovers from a few cuts, resist all flames once bombarded by fire once, and so on so forth. As long as the wheel above its head finishes its turning, nothing is capable of killing it. Note that not one Zen'in has managed to tame the beast, not even Megumi himself, who only summoned it as the equivalent of a suicide bomb. This is the same monster that killed a Gojo, with their spatial manipulation capable of destroying Special Grade Curses. Just one shikigami. It takes the King of Curses's Domain Expansion to finish off the abomination, and that's after narrowly avoiding its other weapon specialized in exterminating curses.

However, what made them so dangerous (both in the story and in game) was their species trait of sharing their adaptations with all other slivers in proximity. However, in-game, the slivers' abilities were conferred onto Slivers on all sides, so a Sliver Mirror Match could turn out deadly. Not to mention that there are some slivers with negative effects thrown in just to counter all-Sliver decks.

In the novel Time Streams, Phyrexian leader Kerrick uses this ability, coupled with the fact that he lives in a fast-time bubble, to stay several steps ahead of Urza.

The ship rebuilds him as a robot, and now, thanks to the ship's enormous resources, whenever Cooler's body is damaged, the ship simply repairs his body or fabricates a new one with whatever vulnerabilities it learned about removed. This comes to a head when the computer decides Cooler's main flaw is that there's only one of him. Cue enormous army of Meta-Coolers, averting Conservation of Ninjutsu in that each copy is equally as strong as the original.

Such deaths include being set on fire (resulting in a leathery hide), getting shot (armour plating), and strangulation (thicker musculature, particularly around the neck), but he is always just as hideous as before, and all he does with his powers is try to find more drugs to snort up.

He himself went so far as to permanently alter his body so he could negate and even absorb his own Logical Weakness to electricity. However, his minions can each only be specialized to one opponent at a time, leaving them vulnerable to said opponents switching up, and Wall himself can be blindsided by attacks too fast for him to analyze in time, which leads to his death when Laxus hits him with a lightning attack with properties he's not immune to and only has enough time to go Oh, Crap! before it tears him apart.

What's worse is that after he's died once, he is then permanently immune to whatever it was that killed him. Given how hard it is to kill him even once, this makes him one hell of The Juggernaut. On the other hand, extraordinarily powerful attacks are capable of taking away multiple "lives" in one blow, though such attacks are both rare and difficult in the extreme to perform, even for Servants.

The Omnidroid's A.I. is programmed to analyze and understand anything used against it, and then adapt its tactics accordingly. The Omnidroid was tested against supers, and whenever a version was destroyed, Syndrome just built a new version based on that data and tested it against the same super (invariably defeating them). Throw rocks at it? It'll throw boulders back. Toss it in lava? It's Nigh Invulnerable and then will bathe its claws in lava to turn them red-hot. Outspeed, outmaneuver, or outthink it? The next version is faster, more agile, and smarter. Control it using a remote? It will realize what's going on and attack the remote, removing it from your access. Syndrome finds this out to his own detriment when he attempts to stage a fight with the final version.

We fought them the second day and saw our missiles bounce of a thickened skin they seemed now to bear, so we turned our lances on them. We fought them the third day, and no cursed thing worked!" Even worse: not just one of them, but at least that entire fleet you are fighting can get that characteristic. The Tau were able to exploit this: by getting their Kroot allies to take on Tyranids in forests, particularly agile but also rather fragile Gaunts were produced that had adapted extremely well to fighting arboreal warriors... then they drew the 'Nids out of the forests and opened up with their usual array of BFGs. This is also believed, both in-universe and out, to be how some Tyranid lifeforms came to be. The psyker-like Zoanthropes are thought to be derived from Eldar psykers, and the extremely resilient Tyrant Guard may have been cultivated from Space Marines.

It gets turned against him when he falls into a trap that causes him excruciating pain via psychic damage. He tries to adapt an immunity to psychic damage, and the GM asks him if he is absolutely sure he wants to do that. He says yes, and his power grants him the desired immunity by lobotomizing him into a drooling vegetable. Since he now lacks the brain function to tell his body to change back, he's stuck that way permanently.

In a New Game Plus, it's stupidly easy to force Golem to use attacks that heal you. Alternatively, if you have a full range of elemental attacks, the Golem can simply be forced into an endless pattern of elemental charging so long as you never use the same element in succession (assuming you can keep up with the MP cost).

Adaptive Ability / int_fa18a477	comment	Whenever Resurrection Man is killed by something, he is reborn immune to the way he died. In fact, when he was killed by extreme pain, he came back as a woman, because women are supposedly more resistant to pain.

Adaptive Ability / int_fce1599c	comment	Kupukupu from Return of Ultraman starts off as a harmless-looking critter in a cage, who ends up being destroyed by humans due to fearing of extraterrestrial life. But a piece of Kupukupu then gets picked up by a child as a souvenir, and that piece ends up growing larger and larger until it forms the monster Kingstron, which then goes on a rampage.

Adaptive Ability / int_fd76539	comment	The Phyrexians are half-mechanical monstrosities who constantly seek to improve themselves. In the novel Time Streams, Phyrexian leader Kerrick uses this ability, coupled with the fact that he lives in a fast-time bubble, to stay several steps ahead of Urza.

Adaptive Ability / int_fe83990a	comment	Many of the enemies in Saint Seiya are fond of declaring that they could not be hit by a technique once they have already seen it. Given our heroes' reliance on Stock Footage finishing moves, this seems like it would be a downright crippling handicap for them.

Adaptive Ability / int_ff9ab17f	comment	The Borg from Star Trek: The Next Generation are explicitly described as being able to adapt to anything used against them, so most weapons will only work two or three times before they lose most effectiveness. Melee attacks have a better chance of succeeding, but you're still fighting a cyborg with super-strength. Worf and Data do fine, but a Red Shirt tried to rifle butt a drone and got trounced. Data rampaging in Engineering also got him thrown behind a forcefield eventually, if only because the Queen was in the room. In Star Trek: Elite Force, Seven came up with the IMod (Infinity Modulation Weapon), a weapon that unleashes devastating energy in a single burst (at least against the Borg), and also automatically changes energy signatures. Normal phasers and phase rifles can do the same thing as the IMod, but must be manually changed to new frequencies, will take time as you do said changing, and are limited in power. Human (and alien) imagination being what it is, it's not easy to keep coming up with random frequencies. However, in the first mission of the sequel (taking place in parallel with the Grand Finale of Star Trek: Voyager), the Borg aboard the sphere come up with a counter to the I-MOD by generating an interference field that disables the weapon, forcing you to rely on other weapons and use them sparingly. In the end, the Borg have failed to adapt to only one thing: sheer overwhelming firepower. That said, their adaptive ability means a Borg ship or drone can take far more punishment than they should... And Borg ships are massive.
