Husk (Marvel Comics)

Paige Elisabeth Guthrie, also known as Husk, is a character from the Marvel franchise. She is a mutant who received her superhuman abilities from being born with a genetic mutation caused by the X-Gene.

Husk has several mutant siblings, including: Cannonball, Icarus, Aero, Jeb, and Amazon. She also has one mutant nephew, Josiah Guthrie.

Superhuman Powers
Transitional Omnimorph: Husk has the mutant ability to shed her outer layer of skin and reveal a new state or shape underneath. Her power can cause random changes if she activates it without thinking, but by concentrating on specific chemical or elemental formulae, she can control the nature of her transformations. She can become any solid that she has studied and has been seen imitating metal, diamond, granite, wood, rubber, magma, and glass.

Depending on the form she takes, she has taken on various powers that correspond to the substance that she has mimicked, including: When Husk sheds away the outer layer of her skin, she can husk away sweat, grime, and minor injuries, but deeper injuries will stay with her. She can hold a form for about an hour before she needs to revert back to her original form. She can morph repeatedly and is not required to stay in any one form, but too many transformations can become painful to her. In great stress or trauma, Husk can shed without control, revealing patchwork forms. When she husks, she often sheds her clothing as well; this has the unintended side effect of leaving her nude when she returns to her normal form.
