The last step in Frank’s metamorphosis. His flesh has become pallid and dull, a stark white color with hints of black and gray sprinkled about. His hair and pupils have shifted to a dreary black, his 5 o’clock shadow now acts as a permanent gray lining around his ugly mug.
Interestingly enough, any clothes he puts on gain these same monochrome properties, shifting to match his current form in a matter of minutes. This has turned his standard trench-coat and trilby into matching garments.
Frank’s entire biology has changed. Like his blood prior (see: Witness Protection), his entire body has gained the ability to harden and soften itself at will. This is primarily used to slip into narrow spaces and hide out in places where you’d least expect him, allowing him to get the jump on almost any perp he encounters.
