Character from Super Powereds by Drew Hayes
A shapeshifting mimic who copies appearance and powers through touch — the Class of Nightmares' most versatile asset, who joined Globe's team in the final year to help end the war Globe started.
Adam Riley's power is mimicry: touch someone and he becomes them — appearance, voice, and powers included. The transformation lasts six to twelve hours, giving him a substantial window to operate as anyone he's copied. It's a Subtlety dream power and a combat nightmare for opponents who can't be sure which version of their friend is real. He was part of Globe's team during the Year 4 endgame, using his mimicry to infiltrate Charles Adair's operation. His willingness to step into the shadow war speaks to a courage that's easy to miss because his power doesn't have the flash of energy blasts or super-strength. Adam's heroism is the quiet kind — become someone else, walk into danger, hope you walk out.
In his base form, unremarkable — average features that are easy to forget, which is fitting for someone whose power makes his own face temporary. When shifted, he perfectly replicates his target down to the cellular level. He tends to dress practically, knowing his clothes need to survive transformations.
