Biography
"Mimic" spent most of his life with a female companion on their native island, where both of them struggled to survive after a natural disaster destroyed their home. One day, Mimic discovered that he had photographic reflexes; the ability to replicate any physical feat he saw another being perform. Shortly after this, his female companion disappeared, prompting Mimic to search far and wide for her until he was approached by the Shadowed One, who persuaded him to join the Dark Hunters by telling him that if he joined, he could use the other Dark Hunters' help in finding his companion. Mimic joined the Dark Hunters and has served them ever since, but the Shadowed One always sent him on missions away from Odina to prevent him from discovering the truth: that his companion was kept as a prisoner within the dungeons of the island to ensure that his search would never end.
When the Great Spirit Robot was critically damaged in the Battle of Bara Magna, Mimic was forced to leave the Matoran Universe for Spherus Magna in order to survive because the Great Spirit Robot's life support systems were about to fail.
Overview
Personality and attributes
Like most living beings native to the Matoran Universe, Mimic is a biomechanical lifeform whose body consists of both organic and metallic protodermis. His desperation to be reunited with his companion is the primary motivator for the tasks he commits as a Dark Hunter.
Powers and abilities
Mimic has photographic reflexes, meaning that he can instantly replicate any physical feat he watches another being perform without the need for practice or careful concentration. He carries a sword that he uses to replicate physical feats involving a weapon.
