Garou already gains super powers on his own easily enough; regenerating, growing wings, resisting heat, etc. Gaining super powers from the people he fights isn't too far off from that.

And just because he hasn't demonstrated the ability to copy psychic powers or energy blasts at this moment in the manga doesn't prove he can't do it later in the series. At this point the manga and the webcomic are two separate canons. Using one to rule out the other doesn't make a lot of sense since ONE can rewrite the story how he pleases.

Now, I am not suggesting we just add those abilities to Garou. He hasn't demonstrated them yet. However I do think he is demonstrating Fighting Spirit in the latest chapter. It may have been ambiguous before but Murata went out of his way to add an extra panel of Metal Bat in there. It's more likely to me that Garou copied Fighting Spirit after his fight with Metal Bat (that also wasn't in the webcomic) and is now using it.
