[glow=blue,2,000]Depends on how it worked on his inners I guess. If his insides were frozen as well and stopped up his mechanizm that allowed him to ghost.[/glow]

But you can't freeze anything on him when he's in Ghost mode. Since he obviously doesn't interact with matter around him, then ther air's temperature wouldn't have any effect on him.

[glow=red,2,300]UHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
How does someone in ghostmode carry momentum then?
I think I got the Teleport thing on lockdown![/glow]

Ok in Ghost Mode: His atomic structure can pass through other structures...so using that logic the atoms in the air wouldn't effect him...however if its only on partial standards then they will be effected.

[glow=teal,2,300]Ah, but how does his ghost mode actually work? Is it simply altering your molecular structure? Is it phasing your corporeal form into two dimensions - eg: our dimension and dimension X?
If its the latter, then you could make the argument that he would still be affected by energy in this dimension as part of him is still here. To take an example, ghosts, a form of undead in Dungeons & Dragons were always stated as having partial existence on the Prime Material Plane (here) and the Ethereal Plane. You could hit them with magical weapons and certain energy forms on either plane, but there were certain forms of attack which would only work on the ethereal.
It would stand to reason that the ghost power allows you to avoid physical attacks or attacks with a kinetic impact as there simply isn't enough of you to provide resistance against that kinetic energy, meaning it wouldn't impact and wouldn't be released. Energy attacks? I'm not so sure. It might be more realistic to say that the Ghost power allows you to shrug off the worst effects of energy attacks as you're only half there, but there should be a cutoff point where the damage to your material dimension self starts to threaten a complete discorporation on both dimensions.[/glow]

How Ghost power works...
Morpher possesses the ability to pa$$ through solid matter by pa$$ing his atoms through the spaces between the atoms of the object through which he is moving. In this way he and the object can temporarily merge without interacting, and each is unharmed when Morpher has finished pa$$ing through the object. This process is called "phasing." When Morpher is phasing, he is, for all intents and purposes, intangible. Hence, when attacked, he can shift into a "phasing" state so as to allow oncoming projectiles or energy blasts to pa$$ through him harmlessly. Morpher can phase through any material object, even living objects. Using his phasing ability, Morpher can walk on air and float up or down. He can phase other objects and living objects along with himself without harm to them. However, he must maintain physical contact with the person or object he phases for the effect to work. Morpher can't attack when phased due to the fact that a weapon is also phased. Firearms can't produce a laser bolt in this mode. (However I guess he could throw his throwing stars, but I tend to hold that back out of the respect to the rules of power gaming).
Now here's a question, could the energy that powers him be detected or even a heat signature of some sort? Remember, he's invisible and intangible, and can't be picked up on radar, sonar or motion detectors in his state.

Okay, let's take a crack at this one...
Down on the basic atomic level, all interaction of matter is governed by eletcrical charges. The electrons of one atom repel the electrons of another atom, making things solid. Morpher's Ghost mode, in order to pass atoms in between each other, must negate the electrical charges of his atoms. Otherwise the atoms of the stuff he's trying to pass through would repel his atoms. It would stand to reason that his atoms would pick up charges from the other atoms, but I guess he regulates them very carefully.
Now on to heat signatures. As everybody knows, heat is caused by the energy released by atoms vibrating. If Morpher's atoms don't interact with everything else's atoms, the vibration of his atoms wouldn't cause any change in the heat of the air around him. So he wouldn't leave any heat signature. But I think his energy could be detected. Let's say his energon processing core releases some excess energy. Once that energy leaves his body it's no longer regulated by his Ghost mode. It would revert to its normal state, thus being detectable.

Yeah, I think Sky here has cracked it.
Of course energy can be transfered as heat...so will be detected. As a mild heat measure. I assume.

[glow=blue,2,000]Sounds all good to me! Now watch, everyone is going to try and take advantage of him when Morpher's in ghost mode in the rpg now. Grrrrrrr! Try it folks and see what happens![/glow]

Alright...Morpher I can see your trail of heat.
