Mmm maybe Asus's body would react weird if he were to turn some hornets on himself and have them sting him like the toxin would be similar to pcp and would increase his energy and the amount of wasp his body can produce, but like Jensoman said it would be very limited in time and he'd be sick afterwards?

I think that could go hand in hand with my idea, yeah!

Besides the sick part...seems like too much of a drawback to me. Maybe it would just leave him exhausted afterwards, leaving him with just a small amount of energy. Kinda like Chopper. So he'd need to rest for a long while to regain his energy.

And who knows, maybe later on he'll be able to master it so he doesn't end up exhausted. Kinda like how Chopper managed to learn how to control his Monster form after the time skip.

Oh I just saw the edit to your post malmshodes, increased resistance to pain sounds good too.
