Actor and comedian JP Karliak takes on the the biggest questions about X-Men '97's shapeshifter, including his love for Wolverine.

The short version

  • Actor and comedian JP Karliak takes on the the biggest questions about the X-Men’s shapeshifter “That was in the casting breakdown," Karliak says.
  • In the original series, Morph’s power seemed identical to Mystique’s.
  • He was a shapeshifter who merely transformed to look like other characters.

What happened

In X-Men ‘97 , however, Morph is seen changing into characters like the Incredible Hulk, Colossus, and Doctor Octopus, seemingly gaining their unique powers as well, which has confused some fans online. Karliak did speculate, though, that this could evolve.

Why it matters

It could be theoretically possible for Morph to undergo a “secondary mutation.” In the penultimate episode of season 1, Wolverine’s adamantium is torn away from his skeleton by Magneto, putting Wolverine through excruciating pain.
