	But Absorption is a very distinct power different from Force Field, why remove it? Sebastian Shaw did not have a Force Field around his person. He had Absorption. No Force Field ever went up.

			Look at the mechanics, think about the variety of ways the power can be shown, and look at the way Sebastian Shaw uses it. It absorbs, but it also protects. He isn't getting hurt by what he absorbs, the way a force field stops damage. Since he also gains from the absorption, the Absorbtion is 'Force Field+'. That's Force Field with something extra, so it is an extra.
