Other Notes
 Originally, he could only be solid objects, like a hammer. Later, he became able to become mechanical objects with moving parts. Now, he can become simple animals, like insects. Over time, he will only become stronger and be able to morph into fish, reptiles, etc. and ultimately other people.
His powers stem from an extreme case of "people pleasing" gone awry,
