Name: Dr. Kevin Robert Sidney, D.C.S.
Codename(s): Morph
Affiliation: X-Men
Age: 29
Height: 6'; variable
Weight: 180 lbs; variable
Hair Color: Brown; bald in natural form; variable
Eye Color: Brown; white with no visible pupils in natural form; variable
Appearance: Standing at 5'11", Morph has certainly chosen an attractive form for when he's out in public. Why wouldn't he? With the power to be anybody or anything, he's chosen what he believes is the most attractive exterior. His short brown hair is perfectly groomed with a single spit curl oft times hanging in front of one of his brown eyes. While not gigantically muscular, he maintains a rather athletic frame, with a perfect six pack carved into his abdomen.
While at home or around those he trusts, the same applies - the athletic frame, that is. His caucasian skin fades into a stark albino white, his eyes losing their only traces of color to become purely white. The perfectly groomed hair retracts right into his scalp, leaving him perfectly bald. Black ovals are usually marked around his eyes. Finally, the once prominent nose on his face simply falls off - although this is usually done for humorous effect.
Personality: When he's out on the field or at home at the Xavier Institute, Morph seems to be an obnoxious, immature, childish prankster. Only those who are close to him have cracked his shell and seen the real person underneath.
Due to the death of his mother during the beginning of puberty, an important life step, the young and depressed Kevin found a way to hide his sadness: humor. His powers seem to be perfectly designed for his personality, as he can assume all sorts of wacky shapes and designs.
Beneath the joking facade, though, he is a rather mature and intelligent man - both facts that he like to hide. It's believed he does this due to his dysfunctional home life, as well as putting up a wall over his mature intellectual side as a form of protection against his anger and depression.
Due to his job position, he is nearly always mature and down-to-business, even if he doesn't want to be. After all, the President wouldn't react very well to whoopie cushions, would he? In fact, because he's been that way for so long now, his humor is starting to fade - something that will inspire him even more to return to his roots at home.
Often, when asked about his love life, Morph simply responds, "Dating's not for me. I don't want to hurt any girl unlucky enough to be attracted to me."
Powers and Abilities: Morph's molecular structure is completely comprised of a unique form of unstable molecules. He has supreme control over these molecules, thus classifying him as an Class 4 omnimorph. However, he has not trained with his powers to a degree high enough for this, but nonetheless, he is largely skilled in shapeshifting.
Unlike normal shapechangers, Morph isn't limited by size, shape, mass, or color. It's believed that he taps into an extradimensional space in order to get the materials and mass needed to accomplish this, as well as push in his mass when he takes a form smaller than humanoid. He has performed such feats as growing to the size of a Sentinel and taking it on, spawning a machine gun from his mass, and going head to head with a future version of the Hulk (in the Danger Room, anyways) by bulking up his muscle mass. Like other shapeshifters, he can manipulate his vocal cords, thus allowing him to emulate virtually any sound he can think of.
The unusual nature of his powers grants him a form of immortality as well as a pseudo healing factor. Because he doesn't actually have biological cells, he is immune to disease.
Due to his body's molecules constantly rearraging themselves, combined with the shapes and sizes he is designed to take on, Morph is immune to the effects of gravity via his molecules being surrounded by anti-gravitons. If these anti-gravitons are negated, he will be flatten into a puddle of goo.
While not exactly a power, the nature of his physiology means he produces no lactic acids as well as no sweat (unless he chooses to) - meaning he gives off no discernable scent at all, a fact that has "made Logan a little uneasy."
He does not require oxygen to survive. His powers give him a very high metabolism and also make him "very hormonal", which makes his reactions to situations greater than the norm.
Weaknesses: While his body can quickly bounce back and recuperate from physical attacks, energy attacks, particularly fire, can disrupt and immoblize him for anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes, turning him into a pile of goo. Typically, depending on the attack, he will be back in regular shape after a few moments, but for a few minutes following that, shapeshifting will be difficult and painful for him, as his molecules are still repairing themselves. If the anti-gravitons of his molecules are somehow rendered inert, he will become a puddle of goo due to gravity. Underneath his humorous exterior, he's quite fragile, with a large pool of unchanneled anger and depression.
History: When Kevin Sidney was born, all that came out of his mother's womb was a lump of goo that resembled a small version of the Michelin Man. The Sidneys were...shocked, to say the least. His father was rather accepting, even buying the blob specially tailored clothes for the first year of his life until the infant learned to shapeshift - which, by the way, added a whole other level of child care. His mother was hateful towards mutants up until his birth, although Kevin and his father believe she still had some hatred and she blamed herself for his "deformity", which would explain why she increasingly grew distant as he entered adolesence and finally puberty.
With time, the blob learned that he could alter his shape, and by the time he was three, he was able to take on a normal human appearance. His power and skill grew, but at the age of thirteen, his mother died of lung cancer. As a defense mechanism, Kevin channeled his depression into humor, entertaining others around him. His father grew distant and cold as Kevin grew more social and comedic. Eventually, his father sent him to a small academy that had just opened on the East Coast - the Xavier Institute for Gifted Youngsters, a newly opened private school for "special students." There, Kevin found a way to channel his humor, and he discovered a new level of it since he could openly use his shapeshifting ability.
Even as things in Congress were tense with the mutant situation, Kevin's powers allowed him to enroll at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Eventually he earned a doctorate in computer science from MIT. Soon, he received national attention for designing exclusive supercomputers for the United States government. Morph was simply in the right place at the right time when, later on, he was asked to appear before Congress to give his thoughts on the Magneto situation. Soon, his speeches caught the attention of a Southern governor who was seeking to become President, and when he did, he asked Morph to fill in his newly vacated position of Secretary of Mutant Affairs. He accepted.
With rumblings of a resurrection of the Brotherhood moving through the White House, it's unknown how Morph will react. A war is brewing, however, and soon, he may have to return home permanently.
He may have to return to a place he hasn't been to in eleven years.
Sample post: The doors to the Cabinet Room burst open suddenly as the President and the members of his Cabinet were conversing. A familiar bald, white figure stomped into the room, interrupting their meeting. His eyeglasses hung at the tip of his nose, his pupiless white eyes looking over the group. Even if he was pissed, he was still dressed for the occasion: a dark blue dress coat was worn with a pair of matching slacks, along with a buttoned-up white shirt, a red tie, and some black dress shoes.
"I come back from my Doctor Who Convention in England to find this." He threw the Daily Bugle onto the table, which featured a story of the Sentinel attack.
"Kevin, you have to understand--" The President spoke, but was cut off.
"You said you weren't going to launch them."
"We launched them to apprehend Magneto! We had no intention of--"
"Then explain why eyewitnesses report them firing on others.
"Flaws in the programming." Boliver Trask finally spoke up. "We're working on it to ensure it doesn't happen again."
Morph looked over the group in disgust. "Not all of us are evil, gentlemen. Don't let one man's insanity corrupt your perception of us all." He headed towards the door he entered.
"Where're you going?"
He stopped at the door for a moment, and then turned his head to look at the group. "Home." And then he was gone.
The President was visibly shaken. The expression on his face showed he was in deep thought, pondering over the situation.
Boliver Trask stared at the President of the United States. "Proceed with Project: Wideawake."
