I was shocked at my stats, my knowledge was mostly made up of language skills, science, and fighting. As I gained the original owner of this body's memories, I realized that I was better at martial arts than anyone in this universe. I was surprised by this as I always assumed Batman was the best besides his teacher. I hear Superman and Bruce talking downstairs as I head down to the batcave to see what they're talking about. I see Bruce and superman talking about me, and my fighting skills, I decide to test my powers out. Alright let's do this "Unlimited copy, times 10" I say out loud, with Bruce and superman turning towards me, "what was that Alex?"Bruce asks me, I decide to tell him a half truth, "I have an ability that I just gained, it lets me permanently copy anyone's abilities as much as I want without the weaknesses" I reply calmly, as I see the shock on Bruce, and Superman's face. Bruce believes me because I've known him my entire life, and I've never once lied to him, "Who did you copy just now?" he asks, "I copied superman" I said yet again calmly, the shock on their faces somehow appeared even more clearly. Superman goes to speak "Wait so you copied me but you have my abilities times 10 without the weaknesses?" he asks, seeming smart, "Yes" I reply. They just stood there superman seemingly on alarm. I rushed towards superman, shocking him with my speed, and I grabbed a thing of kryptonite from bruce after asking him, and he hesitatingly handed me some, surprising superman. I grab the kryptonite and throw it in my mouth and eat it, shocking both of them, "yep no weaknesses" I say.

I use heat vision and it's white. I used it on a bag of popcorn that I had Alfred get, but I made sure he didn't pop it in the microwave so I could do it. I fired at the bag and immediately blew it up. I watch as it explodes in slow motion, "oops, too much power, I swear I held back as much as I could '' I said, not shocking superman or Bruce much. Alfred is looking at me with shock though, surprised, "Bruce, I have a pill here that I made with my skills in science, it will give you enough strength to be able to lift up 20 tons, and enough durability to tank at least 10 of superman's hits and withstand even more than that, but it would hurt, this is a one of a kind offer, so either accept it or don't I'm never making this pill again, besides when I need to make one for Alfred." I say a long sentence but my super lungs easily allow me to speak this much. I wait for his answer, "I trust you." he says, as he looks at superman suspiciously, knowing that he's heard this conversation. Superman looks shocked, I can tell he's nervous about the thought of Batman being able to tank one of his hits, even though a 25 ton punch wouldn't affect him much. Bruce immediately takes the pill from my hand and is about to swallow it, "Wait Bruce, this is going to be very painful are you sure you want to do this?" I ask, "I'm sure" he replies. I handed him a glass of water seemingly out of nowhere, but in reality I just used my superspeed. Bruce was not surprised, but superman was, he talked quickly, "I couldn't see you at all!". I knew this but it scared him, it scared him badly, if I turned evil, what would he do, he couldn't beat me. I'm 10 times stronger than him. He should know that I will not be evil, I will be a hero but I will kill, I have no more moral code like Bruce.
