Tell me about it. It's worse when you work in a place that requires you to sign hundreds of contracts - you developed a work signature where the first character vaguely matches the first of your name and then the wrest is just a squiggle.

Can I use this as an ability? - The power to instantly develop powers and/or skills in response to unavoidable and imminent threats in the future. The users can either instantly develop powers or abilities to deal with threats or their bodies dynamically learn from experience. 

They can grow harden skin after foreseeing being shot to death or stabbed. The user will even develop a power to counteract the powers of another, such as gaining a Psychic Shield to protect oneself from a soon to be telepathic intrusion. After a certain situation the user's skin may become tougher, they may display increased IQ after a difficult test or fortified emotions after a personal argument. User may be able to read different languages after moments of looking them up or be able to withstand a constant bombardment of radiation.

As for limitations, the ability only activates for imminent or very probable threats to the user and the powers gained are likely to be lost once the threat is gone. Maybe the user may or may not be able to control adaptations. And also, some adaptations may be in conjunction with weaknesses.Yay or nay?

Interesting. Some good weaknesses but how about a time limit for sustained dangers - for example if a large, heavy object (let's say a tank or a building) fell on them they could only sustain the toughened skin for a few seconds?

That or have a minimum gap between adaptations. With sufficient weaknesses/requirements/limits it has my approval.
