"The Shape was an artificial life-form created by Professor Scuba S. Duba by exposing a statue made out of special chemicals to 'super-hypertensity white aura-light ultra-ebonized light.' However, the professor's nephew Kevin bumps into the machine causing Shape to be born. He uses his shape-shifting powers to capture Karl Minten and Vic Facsh who are communist spies. Shape's body can become almost anything including weapons, tools,and animals. However, Shape had a toddler-like mentality and only a basic grasp of English."

I blame you all entirely for this.

OK, long story short: a couple of years back, I tried to crack my artist block by giving the Rule 63 treatment to one of my oldest OCs, The Mighty Goo. This "Goo-Girl" became fairly popular, but not for the reasons I intended; apparently, Elasti-Girl from "The Incredibles" started an Internet fetish chain reaction that has made female Plastic-Man/Mr. Fantastic types a thriving sub-genre of super-heroes, and several of the fans really liked my "Maiden of Mucus." While I ultimately returned Goo to his original gender (and middle-school age), however, the idea of a female omnimorph stuck with me.

Jump ahead to last month and my swan-dive into the Public Domain of forgotten super-heroes, including a one-shot TOTALLY forgotten Silver-Age Plastic-Man knock-off named "The Shape." I kinda blew him off at first, not the least because there's another "The Shape" with the same powers, personality, even origin as part of Marvel's Squadron Supreme but mainly because he didn't fit the "group origin" of the Vault of Dead Justice heroes.

However, much like his own origin, a handful of disparate elements would collide together in my head at 4am, when such mental alchemy is at its most virulent: the idea of an omnimorph that, unlike most, did NOT start out human and how it would play havoc with the "normal rules" of super-heroes (such as having an inanimate object as its secret-identity, for starters), recent prolonged exposure to "good girl" fetish art (if you swim in the Public Domain super-pool, you WILL eventually end up nose-to-nipples with AC Comics infamous FemForce comic), and the discovery of a dA group devoted to DOZENS of goo-girls and omnimorphic femmes suddenly coalesced into a nascent, curvy mass awaiting a single spark to bring it to life...in this case, in the form of a horrible, horrible pun of a name:

Shape-Lass

SO...now that I have her, what the Hell am I gonna DO with her? I have no origin, the barest bones of a personality...Hell, she doesn't even fit the general tone of the Vault Universe. What do I do with an innocent yet bootilicious female Plastic-Man distantly related to the Charlton heroes that inspired "Watchmen?"

Pretty much anything I want to. I'll just need to learn to be more flexible.
