Spirit is more or less a person who has been turned into a funky sort of android now. She's a complex biological machine without a consistent biology, if that makes any sort of sense - she's "all spirit" because the substance is can change a lot.She's able to morph because she can alter that substance. It's subtle because if she's given means to check her own baseline (like advanced genetic testing equipment or something) she could even change the morph to register DNA. As is, she can use her subtle morph to make the wrong DNA for Jessica Lane map out for forensics. (This use of subtle with morph is something I got from peeking around Atomic Think Tank from Steve Kenson).Of course, the ability to change her appearance also allows her to change the color of her skin to blend in with her surroundings (Concealment -1 Blending); and since her form is more fluid than normal in those cases it allows her to do some nifty tricks for jumping out of the way of things that human bodies normally simply can't manage (like leaping away in a line of pearly fluid or just letting her body ripple like a fluid with a shockwave - it's not something she looks forward to but it's instinctive - Enhanced Evasion 2) and seep through cracks and between bars  (Insubstantial 1 and think the Terminator 2). As for Weapon Bind? She just lets someone dumb enough to attack her with a sword or club or whatever "in" to her form and keeps them there. The Enhanced Strength was just because otherwise she'd be really weak in the form with no damage bonus at all (all of her heaps of mighty fists are an AP).Anyways, the morph set is weird, but it's really the difference set of powers that distinguishes her from all the other "strong, fast, & can fly" heroes.</blockquote>
