Paragon (DC Comics)

Fictional character biography

Powers and abilities

• Cochin has the ability to duplicate the physical and mental abilities of organic beings in his vicinity and use them himself, even magnifying them by a considerable amount. This includes the ability to copy superhuman powers.
• Unlike supervillains such as the Parasite, who drains the powers of beings, Paragon does not take his target's unique abilities, but rather duplicates them.
• He is unable to copy the powers of inorganic beings such as the Red Tornado or weapons such as Green Lantern's ring.
• In his original appearance, Paragon would lose someone's power as soon as they were out of his range. In his recent appearances, he was able to prolong the time he retains an ability through the use of a special high-tech suit of his own design.
