R4 Animal Man copying humans

"This city is full of exotic life," Animal Man said. "The toughest, strongest, strangest people in the entire country... Did you think I couldn't copy humans?"

   * SWAPPING THE PLACEMENT OF TWO OBJECTS WITH A HAND CLAP (Aoi Todo)

Come on, stand up, keep fighting. Animal Man was already running up on him just to press the advantage. Hale pulled himself to his feet and turned around just in time for a fistful of swords to slash across his body.

   * BLADE FORMATION (Kotomine Kirei)

Animal Man's speed, boosted by flies and ants and cheetahs, was faster even than Bradley's and with sharper blades. "I could take your Australian body, too, use your own strength against you. But I don't have to. The last thing you need is more ego stroking."

It was all he could do to keep the slashes away from the vital parts of his body, but now he felt himself slowing down, his joints stressed by an unfamiliar pressure. His shoes sank into the concrete like a palm of God was pushing down on him, and instantly he knew what creature he was copying.

   * GRAVITY CONTROL (Chuuya/???)

It was the moment he realized that the blades pierced his heart. Hale sank over Animal Man's body, being held like Christ off the cross. His breathing slowed. In the distance, through the swimming blood in his brain, he heard the encroachment of more black helicopters. Helicopters coming for him.

Hale grinned as the blood dripped down his jawline.

"Guess it's time to start taking this serious." Nobody ever lost after they said a line like that.
