One of my favorite comic book characters is Morph, a shape-changing mutant and team member of the mutant superheroes the X-Men (Marvel Comics).

My favorite rendition of Morph is actually from X-Men: The Animated Series (Fox TV), which does a nice job of presenting the character as emotionally challenged.

Shape-shifting is a power/ability that various comic book characters exhibit, but Morph nicely captures a general fascination with appearance and deception and dynamic strength.

Chemists study the value of solubility ---- how substances dissolve or 'mingle' with other substances.

Morph is a great comics art avatar for 'solubility consciousness,' which is why I want to see him in an X-Men film.

Solubility is an important sci-fi theme for the modern age, since we're so preoccupied with cultural assimilation (e.g., European Union, Facebook, 'Olympics politics,' etc.).

I need to rewatch some of the old super cartoon series

Yes, Marvel has a lot going for it in terms of mainstream media marketing, and perhaps it's because its characters such as Spider-Man, Video-Man, and Carnage symbolize modern graffiti-catchy relevant 'flesh-juicy plate tectonics.'

Addendum Note:

Arguably the entire universe of Spider-Man (Marvel Comics) is based on transformation and malleability.

Spider-Man was a normal guy named Peter Parker who was transformed into a web-soaring superhuman by a catalytic spider bite.  Spider-Man's nemeses such as Green Goblin and the Lizard are great symbols of metamorphosis intrigue, and since Spidey is a city defender, we can understand how appearance and adaptation would be important to people trafficking around major hubs of commerce.

Marvel offers us Spider-Man, the transformed acrobat, and Morph, a perfect chameleon.

This makes for very nice Marvel trophies about transformation/metamorphosis.

since i first saw the X-Men cartoon, Morph became one of my all-time favorite characters. it wasn't until years later that i learned that Morph wasn't even a character in the comics! Sure, they added him later during the Exiles run, but he was created specifically to die in the cartoon. how rude!

Morph is a great invention, and he works well on TV or in comics, and I can't wait to see him in an X-Men film starring a rich actor to suit the role!

Morph transforms and makes us think about 'body-orientation' skills, which is intriguing for our modern age focused on ideas such as 'power-transference,' 'energy utilization,' and 'physics boundaries.'
