The Morph obsession is getting to me. Most of my creative ideas right now are "I want to see x character interact with Morph" be that in written or comic format. It has gotten to the point where one of the scenarios in my head is: "I want to see Morph interact with Morph."
Which is. Which is insane.
Specifically, I am talking about TAS/'97 Morph interacting with the Morph from Exiles. Because while they are the same character, they are also quite different. Just for example: the former is nonbinary while the latter is pretty firmly a man. I wouldn't call Exiles Morph a cis man because technically he was Assigned Blob At Birth and was raised as a boy? Who knows? Technicalities.
I personally headcanon that TAS Morph shares the same base backstory as Exiles Morph: their mother died when they were 13 which led to a strained relationship with their father who later enrolled them in Xavier's school to be rid of them. Then, after graduating with a masters in computer engineering, they joined the X-Men. Little differences are that Exiles Morph led the New Mutants before becoming an X-Man and also was an Avenger for a bit, things I don't think TAS Morph would have experienced.
TAS Morph has spent the majority of their life in their public form (dark hair and eyes, resembling their mother), meanwhile, Exiles Morph has spent most of his life in his base grey form but still did have a public form as a child (blond hair and blue eyes, resembling his father). He rarely fully changes his appearance, usually keeping the grey skin and pupilless eyes when shapeshifting, while TAS Morph takes on the full appearance of other people.
And then there's the nature of their powers. I'd say TAS Morph's abilities were broad but limited before being subjected to Sinister's experimentation (for example: they couldn't morph into animals or mimic mutations prior to their death and resurrection). Meanwhile, there's no indication Exiles Morph ever went through such experimentation, so it's possible he always operated at the full potential of his powers.
Lissen. I would NOT be this insane if only there were simply more depictions of Morph. After all, I'm not like this about more popular X-Men... That's a lie. If there were more depictions, I'd be making a spreadsheet. I mean. Technically there are. There's Changeling and AoA Morph. Oh no.
