Alexis would be a perfect example of what you're referring to here. I mentioned this is the past but I can definitely see the MC mimicking abilities that are close to his own ability. Her iron ability should be doable for him since he can also control iron but only on a smaller scale than the real thing.With the way that powers in Superhuman don't really work along the same lines as powers in other settings, the MC probably wouldn't even have to absorb powers. It's possible that they could just shapeshift their own power to mimic another power. Ella's shapeshifting at Evolution 5 gives her the power to warp reality around her.
That would probably only be something possible at Evolution 4 or 5, would require the MC to realize they could even attempt it. Like how the MC had to be told by Ella that they could shapeshift into metal. It's not likely something they'd realize on their own. It would also likely use up the MC's power quickly and possibly kill him, and it would have to be relevant to the story somehow, but I think that's more likely than absorbing other superhumans to steal their powers.
I can total see him using his own abilities to pseudo turn them in similar ways of other Superhumans who have similar types of powers. I just don't personally see him going around and just taking every superhuman's power because he's some supposed unique power stealer.
He should be able to mimic some of Alexis, Ella and maybe Deryl's power but I don't see him being able to mimic someone like say Nico(her teleporting and transporting) or Alice(Gravity), for example. Maybe at Evolution lvl 5, when we see all of what he can do in full but not at lvl 2, 3 or even 4.
