Synopsis of I Steal Superpowers
Lin Mo, a young man from the bottom of society, unexpectedly awakens the ability to “steal superpowers” during a freak energy storm. A mere touch lets him copy other people’s powers, but his inability to control them plunges him into a crisis that threatens both his daily life and his survival. In the city, three forces vie for control: hidden groups of superpowered individuals, the Special Affairs Bureau, the government agency that monitors superpower activity, and the Dark Realm, a villainous organization that believes the superpowered should rule. Lin Mo is forced into the fray.
To protect his neighbor Su Xiao and uncover the origin of his ability, Lin Mo teams up with the Special Affairs Bureau. Mission after mission, he grows stronger, progressing from barely stealing low-level powers to reliably combining multiple abilities. He gradually discovers that his power shares an origin with the Dark Realm’s leader, the Night Lord: both came from an abandoned pioneer laboratory. The Night Lord plans to use a “Superpower Amplifier” to overturn the world order.
Just as Lin Mo and his teammates foil the Dark Realm’s plot, the Night Lord reveals an even more terrifying truth: Earth has attracted the attention of a “Raider Civilization” that survives by plundering superpower resources. Facing raiders with interstellar-level combat strength, Lin Mo transforms from a city guardian into a core member of the Earth Superpower Defense Alliance. Using his unique ability to “steal” and “share” superpowers, he unites forces around the globe to fight the invaders. In the decisive battle to protect Earth, he writes an epic tale of heroism born from an ordinary person’s awakening.
