Long time roleplayer here who is suffering a slight problem. I just can't seem to grok MnM. Which makes me a little embarrassed, since Hero System is my default system, and I have no problem understanding it. So while I can understand the rules, I just can't picture what a properly made character looks like. And while I could just play something simple out of a book, that's too easy. So I was hoping I could get some help putting a character together.
In Brief: animate lump of malleable plastic with a comatose real body

Description:
Power Descriptions: (if applicable)
History: Genius chemist is working on an experimental, highy complex plastic. Some kind of accident/malfunction/origin story happens. Wakes up inhabiting/controling body of said plastic, while normal body is unresponsive.
Personality & Motivation: Wants to know what happened, and what it will take to wake up original body. OTOH, I'm an F-in superhero! I'm going to have some fun now! Also, is a skeptic: does not deny fae, people who claim to use magic, or the like exist, but thoroughly believes that everything is quantifiable and explainable by science
Powers & Tactics: The experimental plastic responds to mental commands, capable of reforming into almost any shape. Other physical properties can be adjusted, allowing for a wide range of shapeshifting and stretching type powers. Not so good with fine details just yet. OTOH, is capable of forming simple working mechanisms.
Complications:
My Real Body: Real body has been comatose since accident. It's being taken care of in a long term care facility. Kinda wants to use it again at some point.
Skeptic: Believes everything is explainable by science, and follows its logic. Tends to get tripped up when things use other logic or rules.
As you can see, I was thinking of doing it as a construct. I was also planning on being off the combat caps, since the character doesn't have a good reason to be that good at fighting. Beyond that, I was looking at Plastic Man-esque powers.
So I would appreciate help massaging the numbers and filling in the rest of the character. Thanks in advance.
Some help, please
