Okay so my character would be healthy bordering unhealthyily obbsessed with one female superhero, who happens to have gotten her powers from an ancient alien speices. Wanting to appeal to her and become her sidekick he went to find an alien to bestow upon him powers of his own, now in doing this he found an alien who was an amature biological engineer on his home planet and wanted to work on a living speices for an experiment. 

During some tests He found out that my characters cells were almost like stemcells, they were awaiting seconday orders. And so the alien would expose him too a healthy dose of something from outer space giving the ability absorb and manipulate that certain energy. BUt obviously something would go wrong. That I haven't figured out yet.
