The Shape's entire body is extremely rubbery and malleable. He can shift up to eighty percent of his physical mass from one part of his body to another at will, thus altering his entire shape. He can use this mass to elongate, compress, or enlarge various parts of his body. He can also form non-humanoid shapes with his body such as hammer-shaped fists or a trampoline-shaped torso. His bones can stretch to a maximum of five times their ordinary length. His body tissue can resist extreme temperatures, burning, lacerations, ballistic penetration, and impacts without sustaining injury. The Shape also has a high threshold for physical pain. However, the Shape's low intelligence prevents him from thinking of more creative uses for his shifting body mass. He is not invulnerable: certain extreme physical injuries are beyond his ability to tolerate and survive.
