Anodization- To a very small extent for Metaloidians, it is possible for them to control the way their bodies oxidize. The integrations of compounds and other elements within the environment can provide a Metaloidian a whole variety of colorations to their forms. This is limited however, because exposure to elements that cause a Metaloidian's primary elemental compound to oxidize quicker than can be controlled is the reason that the suits for the first team were utilized. They have a film of non reactive metal on their surface to prevent the suit from oxidizing out of control.
