[Lord T Hawkeye]

Scientific? Okay...hmm...

Our heroine is attacked by a bizzare creature that seems anatomically impossible. (muchos imagination here) Unable to damage it at all, she ends up mortally wounded and blacks out.

She wakes up inside a liquid filled tube in a lab and notices her body is gone and replaced with a mass of clear fluid. An alien stranger in the lab explains the situation to her. What she met was the first of what would be many. When a group of scientists on his planet sought to pierce the normal limits of the universe, they made a horrifying discovery. Outside was a realm that existed outside the normal laws of physics and reality that govern the universe. Their act had attracted the attention of the entities that resided there and now they seek to shatter the reality that holds our universe together. They had already destroyed his planet and now set their sights on earth. He was one of the few who had escaped and had been working on a weapon to fight them. It was a special mass of protoplasm capable of altering it's form at will. All it needed was a mind to control it. When he found her near death, he decided it would have to be her being as she would have died otherwise.

As for the powerups, could make it anything that came from the creature in question. A purse made from the skin of a reptile? Voila! Reptile transformation!

Better?
