Who Is Shape Shifter?
Fans don’t know much about the new supe’s origin or backstory. However, the code name “Shape Shifter” by the characters, this Supe has the ability to take on the physical form of anyone they touch. However, this power comes at a cost as they must peel their own skin away to form another.
Shape Shifter was first seen trapped in an apartment, hiding from Butcher, Starlight, and Hughie in Episode 7. They lashed out with a knife, revealing their identity after shifting into someone else to escape the building. This makes it clear that Vought or Neuman hired the Supe to eliminate the president-elect.
