** Sort of; it's more accurate to say "Power Co-opting". Lung, due to Khepri's presence within him, can share control of the powers of any Parahuman he touches, usually forcing said person to be unable to do anything with their powers, or locking their power in the current form they are in that very moment(For example: physical contact with Miss Militia will keep her weapon in whatever it's currently morphed into and prevent her from turning it into another weapon). However, this only works because Khepri during the Golden Morning, using the almost-full power of the QA, was able get Shard permission from every parahuman she controlled, and the copy in Lung has a copy of all those permissions. As such, she(and, subsequently, Lung) cannot affect the powers of any Parahuman that died prior to Khepri's control during the GM, such as Battery or Velocity. In addition, Lung's new tail gifted by his Shard and Khepri can allow him to take full control of a parahumans by stabbing them and connecting with their nervous system, allowing Lung's Shard to use it as a bridge to their Shard and use Khepri as a "Key" to take over. However, he can only do so while in physical contact with them and/or his tail connected to their nerves; his tail disconnects from their nerves, he loses full control but can still maintain the power's current manifestation/prevent the parahuman from using their powers if he keeps touching them; he stops touching them, he loses it all until he does it again.

* GroundhogDayLoop: How the premise story is explained: Contessa's Shard had apparently been sending future data and memories of Contessa to save the Earths back-in-time to its past Shard self every time the Path is completed/failed, and have done this over ''five thousand times'', all to revise and refine it to make the final results of the Path better than the last iteration. However, it has been getting drastically diminishing results in improvement by the latest one and decides that Contessa isn't enough to get better results. So it decides to send Khepri!Taylor's data back instead, since she was the primary force for victory and more likely to achieve more improvement. However, since it had never done such with a Shard other than itself (and because time-travel is, understandably, not 100% accurate), it was a few minutes too late and a few metres off its target, and ended up implanting that future data, Khepri copy and memories into Lung in the middle of his fight with Taylor (instead of into Taylor just ''before'' her fight with Lung).
