Reply to comment by andrius-b in [WP] In a world dependant on superpowers, you though your ability of being immune to direct alterations from other powers was mildly inconvenient. You realize something is up when a friend points out you haven't aged at all in a decade. by Balethorne

so uh minor gripe with this... if the idea is that if you're immune to Universal Man's powers he can't sap life from you so you're eternal because he's the source of aging, ergo people don't naturally age, which is contradicted by his power being to take from others' powers and lifespans, because lifespans shouldn't exist if aging doesn't exist.

I hear you. Maybe the backstory could be that people aren't immortal but are meant to have Biblical lifespans of 900+ years like Methuselah.

It could be that he takes their energy and that results in slowly killing them which is interpreted as a lifespan. slowly killing and aging would be the same thing.
