Ok, I will try to put my vision here on how this power should be categorized to diferenciate from powers like absorpition
The first should focus in consume things without a vastle benefit in short time, like, a character that can It larges amonts of food, they don't gain anything from it(like incrise in mass for combat, especial powers, etc) this would help diferenciate from absorpition beacuse absorpition focus in ganing something in doing so, altrough I don't say It should not give anithing to de user whem cosuming, I will try to do my "types" here to explain better
type 1 - Glutonic consumption:
Characters that can consume larges amounts of food in short periods of time, this can be acomplished by simply eating very fast or eating big amounts of food in one go
Ex:
: Monkey D. Luffy and
Charlotte Linlin (
One Piece),
Majin Buu and
Son Goku (
Dragon Ball),
Toriko (
Toriko)
type 2 - Inorganic consumpittion:
Characters that also/only can consume inorganic material in short periods of time in a similar maner that type 1
Ex:
Dragon, God, and Devil Slayers (
Fairy Tail),
Wapol (
One Piece),
Upchuck and
Eatle (
Ben 10), Characters from
Godzilla
benefits:
-Characters that have this ability can have resistence to poisons, disiases, radiation and other abilities by being able to consume food and other things that emits this effects without problens
Ex:
SCP-524 (scp foundation) and
Pig God(one punch-man)
-Characters can have It's mass incrissed in a shor amount of time, but will cause problens like nausea or significant reduction in mobility
ex: Agar.io cell's(Agar.Io),
Pikachu(Pokemon anime)
-The consumped thing can be used as a atack by being shoot from inside the eater
Ex:
Upchuck and
Eatle (
Ben 10)
disadvantages:
-Characters with this ability can be only imune to this things whem directly eating them
-Characters can have be almosty uneble to fight after consuming big quantities of substance
-Characters may need time to digest the consumped thing after can have It's effects show
-Can be not usable in combat
Itryed to think ways to put The old type 3 and 4, but I think was to similar to other abilitys(in the case of 3 being just other type of poket dimension and hammerspace) or just to expecific to be usefull(in case of number 4, is just a way of expecifing how to activate some powers, like, kirby would use it to activate his copy abilits, but see someone like Mario that just tuches a fire flower to gain the ability to shoot fire balls, is just to expecific in that case for my liking)
well, that my opinion on that abilyt, should be less focus In what the cahracter gains for eating and more in he can eat
