I mean, the 4th can shapeshift as well. He just inherited more of her powers. The 2nd Trait stuff could be what he got from the 3rd's "Body" stuff with being able to perfectly copy some beings right down to actually becoming them. Shapeshifting could just be their base power.Not really, since we aren't clear on what some do.
For example, the MC is a bit of a mess to categorize... I stick with my theory that his "power" is Adaptation, but that's very broad.
If the 2nd gave him his power specifically. Hell, we don't even know if that's systematically how it works. Nothing seemed to imply that demi's parent had illusion powers for example. And I don't remember the Fairy showing his powers (altough my memory is admitedly shit).
Also we have huge hints that the MC might have gotten powers from both the 3rd and 4th somehow, if the name has any logic. Just stick with me for a second :
We know the 3rd is the Body and the 4th is the Memory. You mentionned yourself (if memory serves) that the 4th being "the Memory" checks out with the MC's ability to see and search memories of people. ...but then why can he modify his body too if the 4th is his parent ?
Same thing the other way around, chekcs out that the MC can modify his body if his parent is the 3rd, but then why can he also toy with memories ?
Clearly there's more than just "parent gives the same power as his to his spawns" there. So in that logic, why couldn't the 2nd have use the corpse of the defeated lightning monster to reward the human who managed to defeat it and at the same time make Michael his own spawn ? We don't exactly know how power transferance works, nothing says that type of "transplant" is impossible.
And for another point that would make it for an interesting development that Michael would get a lightning based power : the MC.
Either Michael ends up somehow becoming at odds with the MC, or they figure out that's a great opportunity for the MC to train towards overcoming his biggest weakness, one that is literally the easiest way to kill him, therefor leading to a new sub-arc of the MC getting stronger in a different way than just "kill shit and come up with new transformations like you've always been doing".
Alice's power are the same as the Fairy. He summoned a gravity attack that turned into a black hole. Danica's was the same as well. Demi's monster had multiple faces which probably lines up with her ability to make people see her the way they desire her to be.
As for Michael's situation, the lightning monster could've easily been sort of an offering to show that Michael is worthy of being the 2nd's spawn. Ella told him to only take the pill of the 2nd after he beat the 1st monster. The 1st pill he fed to the guard to summon the Lightning Monster.
While it's true that we don't know all about the infection process. The one's that we've saw has shown that it's usually via them biting you(Angelina and Deryl) or using their powers(MC, Danica, Demi and now Michael) to infect their spawn.
