While she can sometimes acquire new forms, Husk has been able to shift into anything that does not exceed her body mass. Any extra mass left when she shifts into a smaller form such as an insect or a bird is shunted into an unknown extra-dimensional space, and will return to Husk when she resumes her human form; Paige most commonly takes on a form similar to her human appearance but in a new material, which is something she prefers. She can become any solid that she has studied and has demonstrated the ability to imitate adamantium, diamond, granite, wood, rubber, brick, and even glass. She has the capability to blend in with surroundings, but in order to do so, she would have to study the texture she seeks to mimic first.  Paige has been an X-man for 5 years now and has much more control over her abilities and is able to shift into liquid substances, including complex acids capable of affecting organic steel, as well as having the ability to change to alter only one part of her body (such as changing one of her hands into a metallic bladed weapon).  Paige has recently achieve her first energy form with a fiery physique.<br/>      When Paige morphs into a different layer, she often takes on new physical abilities or qualities, such as increased weight, strength, invulnerability or super speed. She can husk away minor injuries, but deeper ones will stay with her. She can hold a form for about an hour before she needs to revert back to her original form. While she can continue to can morph into new forms repeatedly, too many transformations in a short period of time can become very painful. When Paige ‘husks’, she sheds her clothing as well. This has the somewhat unfortunate side effect of leaving her nude when she returns to her normal form. Paige has also been shown to be a capable hand to hand combatant.<br/><br/><strong>Background and History:</strong></span></span><div class="floatright">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/3/32/Husk-fullbody.jpg)</div><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: andale mono;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><br/>      Paige is the second child of the Guthrie family in Cumberland, Kentucky. When her brother Sam (Cannonball) left home to become a member of the New Mutants, Paige developed an inferiority complex and became obsessed with the possibility that she could be a mutant. At the age of thirteen she tested herself with a wide range of challenges to try and discover her mutant powers. <br/>      Unfortunately, Paige's trials only led to depression and frustration. At last her temper broke and she begged God to let her find her powers, threatening that she would tear her skin off if she was not a mutant. She made good on her threat and thus discovered that her mutant powers would allow her to produce additional layers of her skin. So overwhelmed by the discovery of her gifts, Paige dropped to her knees and cried for joy. She had finally become what she always wanted to be. A mutant. <br/>      Paige was invited to join the Xavier Institute's new school, Massachusetts Academy, and become a member of Generation X, with the hope that it would lead to her becoming an X-Man. Husk tried to be the best she could whilst a part of Generation X, both physically, academically and socially.  Eventually her persistence won out and she was made a full member of the X-Men.<br/><br/><strong>Faults and Weaknesses:</strong><br/>     Paige has a bit of a self-esteem problem.  It is what drives her to succeed, but it also causes her to second guess herself.  She doesn’t like it when people make fun of her accent and think that she isn’t smart because of it.  Paige can only retain a husked form for an hour before she must shed back to her human form.  If she husks to much it will cause her significant pain and when she husks she sheds her clothing too which can lead to some embarrassing and inconvienent moments.<br/><br/> <strong>Current Relations and Activity:</strong><br/>     Husk was on her way to Japan when Apocalypse attacked.  Her plane was shot out of the sky over Tokyo and only quick thinking and husking into her adamantine form saved her from certain death.  She woke up in the suburbs of Tokyo, in the ruins of a Shinto temple, a day later and is trying to reach then other X-Men to find out what has happened.</span></span></div>
