The Cannibalism Superpower is the ability of a person, mutant, monster, demon, alien, Eldritch Abomination, etc; to absorb super powers from other characters by eating them. Sometimes this also allows the user to take the character's memories or physical appearance too. Obviously, this is a power more suited to super villains, since eating people implies killing them. Please note however, that this trope is not limited to comic books or villains (granted that would make for a pretty strange hero). Examples of Cannibalism Superpower include:

This is what happens when Brain Food mutates into something squickier. It's a mixture of All Your Powers Combined with I'm a Humanitarian. Thinking of it another way, it's Power Copying as a Lovecraftian Superpower. Also see Wendigo. Examples of Cannibalism Superpower include:
