#I have to add I actually do like Morph's original design on TAS and their glow-up human form

I realize that half of Morph's role in X-Men 97 is shape-shifting into character cameos, but consider:
Exiles Morph, whose main personality trait is that he is very much himself all the time (sometimes to the point of being rude or obnoxious), usually doesn't shift fully into other people when impersonating them for a gag or to give himself extra abilities. He usually only hides his true form completely when he is doing sneaky shapeshifter deception stuff (which isn't that often).
I want a second season character arc for X-Men 97 Morph where they realize that a lot of their shapeshifting completely into other people is basically "hiding" behind other mutants that they view as better and more powerful, and that they CAN access whatever physical abilities as a shapeshifter while still mostly maintaining their true form. Like they don't have to turn fully into Angel to give themself wings. They can grow huge muscles or metal skin or claws, or all at the same time and they can do this while still being largely themself. And this is both a power level-up, and an increase in self-confidence.
