Mondo is a mimetic shapeshifter. He can synch his body's properties to the properties of any piece of matter in direct contact with his skin. He will ONLY be able to synch to solids - not liquids, not gasses, not plasmas or any of the more exotic states of matter. His limitation to solids is a psychological defense mechanism - his power permits synching to any state of matter, but the chance of not being able to return to "normal" is too high to risk. And in the case of non-solid states of matter, there's always a chance of a section of his body not being in contact with the main mass when the synch is dissolved. If that were to happen, Mondo would suffer immediate, potentially fatal injury as his body reformed without the missing material. With solids, there is no danger of that happening.
 
 
 
Mondo's mutation cannot and never will be able to synch to an energy field of any type.
 
 
 
He alters the properties of his own flesh to match the properties of the matter being synched to. If he synchs to steel, his flesh becomes as solid as steel and as flexible as steel. If he synchs to concrete he'll take on the density and solidity of concrete.
 
 
 
Short-term, he is limited to the most simple forms of matter - he finds non-complicated elements the easiest to synch up to. The more complicated the molecule, the more difficult to synch his body to its structure. He has practice synching to stone and wood, as those materials were in easy supply in Samoa and in Japan. Synching to rice-paper disagreed with him - he intensely disliked feeling that flimsy. He also needs practice in not using his hands and feet only to synch to materials - he's developed a bad habit of having to fondle the material in question with his hands or walking on it with bare feet in order to synch with it.

Rahne Sinclair: A quiet, mild-mannered girl, Rahne was adopted and raised by the strict and hard Reverend Craig. She manifested during the Great Mutant Headache of X2, turning into her full wolf shape and being denounced as a demon by the denizens of the remote Scottish village in which she lived. Moira MacTaggart rescued her and arranged for her to come to Xavier's, where over the next five years she learned to control her shapeshifting, achieving a transitionary state, as well as becoming more comfortable with her wolf form. Having joined Elpis, in September 2008 she transferred to the Tel Aviv office to pursue her studies and found there a 'pack' that filled the long-empty gap created by her sojourn in Asgard and the loss of her only love, Prince Hrimhari.
