MORPH

 

MORPH (AOA Version)

Real Name: Kevin Sidney

First Appearance: X-Men: Alpha (Vol. 1) #1, February 1995

Powers: Morph is an omnimorphic mutant shape-shifter. Unlike metamorphs, Morph is capable of transforming into nonhuman shapes, and can alter his internal organs and structure without causing himself harm. Morph's body defaults into a gray, rubbery state with no nose or distinguishable facial features. He has no scent, and can use his morphing abilities to heal broken or damaged portions of his body, even reattaching severed pieces on contact. Morph can stretch his body, extending his waist or limbs or whatever to many times their normal length. The unstable molecules of his body can be shaped into any sort of shape, clothing, or object he can imagine. Morph can dress himself in whatever clothes he can visualize and form various other objects as extensions of his mass, like a football, a length of chain, road signs, etc.

Though he cannot permanently separate himself from large portions of his mass without handicapping himself, Morph can separate his main body from these "clothes" or "objects" without injury, and a finite self-regeneration capacity even allows him to leave relatively small amounts of mass behind without having to worry about "pulling himself together". As a shape changer, Morph is capable of perfectly duplicating any human features he has seen or can imagine. Like many metamorphs, Morph seems to have an instinctual psionic ability to scan someone in his presence so that when he morphs into them, he is completely identical to them down to the fingerprints and retina patterns. Besides human forms, Morph has also been capable of transforming himself into animals of various sizes and shapes, and into inanimate objects like a broom or a sheet of wall.

*Morph's counterpart in the 616 universe is the Changeling. Morph 616 was a different character and a member of the First Line. The Morph who served as a founding member of the Exiles was the Earth-1081 counterpart.
