Taylor only needs the genetic contents of one cell to analyse and mimic. However, the mimicry is difficult and painful, and he cannot do it often. To date, he has used this ability to mimic the abilities of DNA manipulation and peak physical properties. He could in future use this first ability to help his mimicry, but is yet to do so because he hasn't needed to mimic another ability since. He ought to also be able to mimic other genetic traits in addition to abilities, but is yet to do this.
