Yeah, but if you... man, we're getting into weird analogy territory, like if you disintegrated Superman's arms he wouldn't be able to go "fool! Little did you know that my arms and I are one and can be remade from me!" and will his arms back into being from pure nothingness. - Pendaran

Yup, Cell's gig is that he was made of the DNA of the various Z-boys, so he had their abilities and potential.
The absorption was only to incorporate... whatever... was inside 17 and 18 to let him evolve.

Should have probably made this a composite Cell, since in GT he did have that ability, and used it on Goku. Didn't work mind you, but only because Goku powered his way out of it. So it isn't going to help him much against anyone on the list save for a sleeping Buu.
Critics who treat adult as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence.

I mean, at least 1st Form Cell could absorb people through his tail syringe, but, as far as we know, he only gained a permanent power level boost from them (though to what degree of power he got boosted for every unit of power he absorbed, or how it would interact with stuff like God Ki or magical power, we don't know). So assuming that Perfect Cell didn't lose that power when he lost his long tail, he would probably just become Cell with a massive power level boost rather than someone with all those powers.
