This power allows the superbeing to turn any handheld remote control device, such as a garage door openner or TV remote, into a Power Item. By pointing it at a superpower in use, he can lock the power into the memory of his handheld device, then later call upon that power . The superbeing can also elect, at any time, to delete a power locked into his handheld, and open replace it with another power. This power works equally well for powers that act internally and externally(so Captain Video can store Energy Expulsion for a attack and Wingless Flight for use on himself in his handheld TV remote). If the superbeing loses the remote(or it is taken from him), he loses the powers locked into it...unless he can recover the device, he’ll have to start anew with a different remote. Note that the remote will work ONLY for the creating superbeing; in the hands of another person, the remote is just an ordinary electronic device. The superbeing can max out the number of powers he can copy on one device, but cannot then start a new device and max out the available superpower slots on that one....The superbeing can also split his copied superpowers among several different devices, so he doesn’t lose everything in the event one device is destroyed or misplaced.

Range: 30 ft+10 ft per level of experience to Copy powers. Range of activated copied powers is HALF what they were originally were at the time of locking in.
Damage: Varies; damage of activated copied powers is HALF what they were originally were at the time of locking in.
Duration: Superpowers are permanently locked into the device until destroyed or deleted
Payload: The superbeing can copy 1 Minor superpower for every 2 levels of experience, and 1 Major for every 3 levels of experience
