The ability by itself is pretty strong, but the Assimilate ability really pushes it over the top, in my opinion. you made it therefore you can edit it, i think it's easy to get away form in an open area tho What I think makes the Vaporize by itself so strong is that Ralf can choose the direction that he reforms in. Not the position, but the direction. Plus, just as he can leave solid parts of himself behind when he vaporizes, he can aslo leave gaseous parts of himself behind when he reforms. One such ability this gives him, is the ultimate feint. Ralf can throw a punch, but at the last second change his fist to a gas and float around the opponent, only to reform his fist in the opposite direction and pull it back, thus hitting them in the back. Another option Ralf has is to create solid barriers of himself. He can, for example, transform his torso into a gas, and then solidify it in pieces in front of an enemy. though he has to reform it in the same shape as his torso, he can reform disconnected layers of it positioned in the shape of a wall or a barrier. This will damage him, but it can block attacks at the very least to other people. Also he can clothesline people from a distance.

Personally, I believe an open area would be a more dangerous place to fight Ralf just because you would have no idea where he was coming from when he vaporizes. Plus, just in an open area, Ralf has access to Oxygen, and Carbon Dioxide gasses for assimilation. He can do a whole lot with just these. Depending on what his enemy's quirk is, they may produce some other gas for Ralf to assimilate, which then can have even more effects. If it's a public area, then who knows what else is around for Ralf to use!
