Metamorpho is an associate of Batman and was a member of his team, he later joined the Justice League when the Batman's team was disbanded.[3]

Physical appearance[]

Although still humanoid, Metamorpho's appearance is very different to that of a normal human; with chalk-white skin, a complete lack of both head and facial hair, and the absence of a nose. Metamorpho also doesn't appear to have toes (although this could be a conscious act of shape-shifting). Aside from these differences, Metamorpho has the appearance of a tall, lean-muscled adult man. When he became injured during battle his body adopted a more monstrous appearance; with a hunched stature, and horn-like protrusions and mouth-like openings present on his back and shoulders.[4]

Metamorpho was part of a squad with Batman and Katana who took the Batplane to Santa Prisca, in order to investigate the possible presence of Tara Markov with the League of Shadows. After sky diving onto the island, he and Katana split off from Batman and snuck their way past the Shadows's guards to the base of their headquarters, but halted as Batman had already infiltrated it.

Later, as they went to sneak off the island via the Venom shipment, Bane intercepted Batman, promting a fight between the group and Bane, Deathstroke and Lady Shiva. Metamorpho first faced off against Deathstroke, then Shiva, with both being frustrated at their weapons's lack of effectiveness against Metamorpho's changing form. Oracle soon evacuated the group on the Batplane.[4]
