While parahuman abilities changing the appearance of their users is certainly not unheard of, the Case-53 phenomenon is unique. Through-out the world Drastically altered and mutated parahumans will simply turn up unannounced, confused, and amnesiac.

Case-53s retain much of their personality, personal bias, and learned skills, while lacking any defining memories that would hint at their previous Identities. The Parahuman abilities exhibited by Case-53s are often much more deeply tied to their altered physique, beyond what is seen in non-c53 mutated parahumanity.

C53's also possess a distinguishing mark, often a specific Futhark rune (ᛗ), although others have been observed, though infrequently. This mark resists any attempts to remove it, whether it be via mundane means or via parahuman abilities. This is believed by many to be a form of 'manufacturers mark' something that has spurred on many in the Intelligence community to search for more details, usually to no avail.
