2-My theory is this, since his aura is white: white being the combination of every color in the light specturm and with how big his aura is, I think that Jaune's semblance is the abilty to copy other semblance.

1-Not really. What Ren did was an Aura Technique. A Semblance can perfectly have an effect that shields, that protects in some way, and is still different from that technique.

Looking back at the "glimpse" we got of his Semblance in Vol.1: Cardin actually felt some pain when the punch was deflected, while Jaune suffered nothing, wasn't even pushed. In every other instance of Aura protecting someone normally, the attacker feels no pain of any sort, while the attacked does feel pain and is pushed.

And when Ren did that technique, it acted more like an actual barrier, instead of the flash of light that happened with Jaune.

2-I reject that idea, because it seriously does not fit his personality at all. From what little we've seen, nothing says he's Megaman.
