life. The experience serves to illustrate to Spencer what having a stable family is like, something had never experienced. However, in getting carried away in this role, he initiates a romantic overture with a schoolmate of Gage's, and when Gage, who discovers he is capable of astral projection, witnesses the two in a romantic embrace, he sees this as an invasion of privacy, later coming to blows with Spencer. Spencer wonders if it is motivated by racism, as the girl in question was black. Spencer apologizes to Gage, but when he confessed how having a family for a small number of days made him feel, Gage, understanding of this, forgives him.

After losing his shapeshifting abilities, Spencer is isolated by the fact that his extraterrestrial appearance limits his ability to socialize outside the team's headquarters. Powers and abilities Spencer Bridges is a half human, half extraterrestrial hybrid, the product of a human father and a Khandrian mother. Although he formerly used his shapeshifting ability to appear human, his true appearance is that of a Khandrian, the extraterrestrial race to which his mother belonged. As such, he has been depicted with gray skin, no hair, and a long face that includes a pronounced brow and a small, snout-like nose just under his eyes.

He sometimes practices his impersonations of certain people, and uses reference materials in order to perfect his disguises. Like his father, Spencer can alter the apparent size of his body,
