I appreciate your suggestions Jinxer. For the time limit, I think sustaining the ability until the threat is no longer present is a good enough duration since I doubt certain threats last that long. Getting hit by a car, stabbed, or poisoned would require abilities that would only last for a few moments. Temporarily phasing through a car, skin hardens the moment one is about to get stabbed, or developing some sort of immunity for the specific type of poison; several seconds would suffice. However, in the event a threat lasts longer than expected, I'll moderate the duration to not completely counter the situations thrown at me. Would that suffice?

The idea of further developing this ability further is quite interesting and if you have any more suggestions on how to control the initial manifestations of this ability, I'm all ears.

Absolutely. While most situations would be very short-lived, as you pointed out, there might be the occasional circumstance with prolonged danger (for example, being trapped in a burning building or sustained attacks from another Empowered/Unnatural (using my character, Julius, as an example, he could repeatedly throw compressed air at someone)). It's in those infrequent circumstances a 'weakness' might be visible.

The only other 'weakness' that I can come up with right now would be a minimum gap between adaptations - or even more simply a maximum limit within a certain time frame. In terms of effects this could just be a stamina issue, all powers use up energy in a similar manner to physical exercise would and as with physical exercise this stamina can be enhanced and increased by practice. Of course, that's less of a weakness and just a general fact; the more the characters use their powers the more they'll be able to do with them (again, using Julius as an example, in the first RP he could barely create a small breeze and in the latest one he created a current strong enough to throw the explosion of a nuclear bomb into the atmosphere (although this admittedly nearly killed him)).
