<p>Well, the conduit gene is still a mystery. I would love to know more about it and how it works. I feel like though Delsin has som DNA copy cat function. The gene, let's say Neon is programmed into Fetch. Delsin holds her hand and his gene takes the "coding" from her gene onto his. That's how I think it works... </p><p>
</p><p>As for the Plague, I believe it's already dead. And for the kill any conduit, well any conduit can do that. We see Cole kill with just one-ish power.   </p>

<p>Maybe delsin isnt absorbing them at all. he might have complete control over all the elements, and touching users allows him to activate them. Controlling ray field radiation, or genetics would be epic, but at this point, out of the realm of possibility. maybe. He's basically like a conduit scratch card. he has all the answers (powers) hidden somewhere, and he scratches (unlocks) them by touching conduits. if he was exposed to the ray sphere, he would be able to control the fabric of reality, which is why he wasnt in the 1st or 2nd game.    </p>

<p>You must think that Conduits are like Avatar fire benders or something, and their element isn't something that is an energy within them. Their entire bodies and clothes are made up of their element so it wouldn't really be as simple and uncontrolled as sticking your hand out. Oh shit you are talking about power absorption, like taking powers from Conduits? I think that is just something they can just do by touching them. Or maybe touching a conduit can release your latent power. If that is so, then that makes Delsin a mortal GOD! What I mean is, maybe touching a conduit of a certain power if you are as versatile as Delsin, will just uncover a power you had all your life and just wasn't able to control.  </p><p>Delsin is made entirely of smoke, ash, cinders and a little bit of flame. His clothes have been shown to be made out of smoke too, because of the lack of holes in the clothing of Delsin if he is shot. His enhanced strength and solidity in general doesn't make sense if this is confirmed to be true. Unless damaged tissue just turns into their element because of particle and molecule change then that means that Delsin's skin should feel very different than a normal human's, or at least hotter or more powdery. If this is true, then he should be able to fly without limits or maybe his smoke transformation is just temporary. I don't know where I pulled this rant from but if you are still reading get prepared for more. </p><p>Delsin also has durability and this doesn't make sense. Unless he can solidify his smoke abilities and body structure. This could explain why his smoke shots seem to force enemies back and his chain whip doesn't melt. He must have complete control over this too or else he wouldn't be able to smoke dash. Also he should be very hurt by water when using smoke because his body is made out of something that can literally be DESTROYED BY WATER, wait the smoke density rule could apply for this too... shit.  </p>

</p><p>Actually all conduits have things such as enhanced strength, speed, agility, durability and healing so it is something that happens naturally with him, his powers don't weaken or strengthen them. In addition he isn't made out of smoke (or whatever power he has at the time) however the manipulation allows him to turn his body into smoke, hence the smoke dash. If we look at other movement abilitys, say the concrete dash (I forget its name) he is surrounding his body with the substance, not becoming it. Conduits that control matter are not made from their element. </p><p>(This bit I have no proof on, it's just a theory): I think matter controlling conduits store their element in the body which is why they can shoot the stuff out their hands. </p><p>Oh and BTW, I think power absorbtion works through absorbing some of the bio-electricity that is stored in the conduit gene (just a small bit which is why the absorbed power isn't as strong as the original) and stores it in Delsin (or rather his conduit gene). I do not think, however, that power leechers have all conduit powers instantly. I think that along with the bio-electrcity, the leech absorbs a miniscul amount of DNA from the gene, so the leechs conduit gene can attach to it and produce the same element. </p> </i></div>
