...this is odd. It's consistent with the powers seen in Age of Apocalypse/Exiles, which is where the redesign comes from...

...but this is really not how Morph's powers worked in the old show.

And, like, it's a problem, because I really think the blast in Night of the Sentinels would not have done the kind of damage it did if Morph had this type of body in TAS.

(Animation continuity, what's that?)

It really doesn't work to just say Morph always had the Exiles base form and was just hiding it until now (which doesn't even work anyway, as we see Morph sleeping, unconscious, and flat-lined in the OG show). It needs to be a change that happened between the two shows, but that really needs to be said at some point.
