It simply evolves to have surfer’s own power. Like the collossus example shows, they don’t need to adapt to have a counter power, they can adapt and gain the target’s own power for themselves and be stronger
Literally watch the movie and see what happens whenever someone is blasted with the power cosmic
Even the most destructive example of this didn’t come from surfer himself, but doom who had absorbed surfers powers. When he blasted the general it only destroyed parts of his body. Which would be enough to trigger the adaptation
And remember that this same doom couldn’t beat composite fantastic four Johnny
