Powers/Abilities: Frobisher is a member of a species of shapeshifters capable of transforming into virtually any creature they want. He isn't great at humans, and when he assumes that form, he tends to prefer using the appearance of beings he is particularly familiar with (such as Conan the Barbarian or the Doctor). His favoured form is that of a penguin. For a period in his life he was struck with mono-morphism, a disease which restricted him to one shape (the aforementioned penguin).
