- "Relax, man. Relax. I'm not a mutant. I was bitten by a radioactive elephant, which turned my skin gray and gave me the power to stretch."
- ― Angelo Espinosa/Skin (Marvel Comics)

- Elastic/Expandable/Stretchy/Stretchable Body
- Ductility/Mutability/Pliability
- Hyperelasticity/Superhuman Elasticity
- Super Stretching
Capabilities[]
Users are or can become extremely elastic, allowing them to stretch, flatten, deform, expand, and contract their whole body, including limbs, torso, neck, etc. They can control how elastic/flexible they or parts of them are, allowing them to change their bodies into various tools or other constructs.
They are extremely hard to wound or hurt due to their body reflexively absorbing damage by stretching with attacks but may still feel pain.

Limitations[]
- May have a limit on how far they can stretch or to what degree they can deform, often not being able to fully liquify and re-solidify into other forms.
- May have to use kinetic force, such as punching or kicking, or even getting punched or kicked, in order to stretch.
- May be more vulnerable against piercing or cutting attacks.
- Coldness may stiffen the elasticity, much like how rubber breaks when it's frozen. This same principle could end up applying to the user if they tried to stretch in cold/freezing temperatures, unless they have Elasticity Defiance.
- With enough fire and heat the user could completely melt.
