He is described as wearing a black suit strikingly similar to the visage of the
notorious Men In Black, and as the name suggests, appears very thin and able to
stretch his limbs and torso to inhuman lengths in order to induce fear and
ensnare his prey. Once his arms are outstretched, his victims are put into
something of a hypnotized state, where they are utterly helpless to stop
themselves from walking into them. He is also able to create tendrils from his
fingers and back that he uses to walk on in a similar fashion to Doc Ock, the
Spider-Man villain in the Marvel Universe. The superhuman stretching ability
could also be seen as a similiarty between himself and Mr. Fantastic of the
Fantastic Four. Whether he absorbs, kills, or mearly takes his victims to an
undiclosed location or dimension is also unknown as there are never any bodies
or evidence left behind in his wake to deduce a definite conclusion."we didn't want to go, we didn't want to kill them, but its persistent silence and outstretched arms horrified and comforted us at the same time..."
