History
Shift was a sentient fragment of Metamorpho who joined the Outsiders. At first it seemed that Metamorpho (Rex Mason) was appearing in two places at once but Mason informed the Outsiders that their Metamorpho was a regrown fragment of his own body. Metamorpho attempted to re-assimilate the Outsider but the team convinced him that the clone deserved a chance to lead his own life. Metamorpho reluctantly agreed on the condition that he takes a new name. The fragment re-named himself Rufus. Metamorpho later took the code-name Shift and developed a relationship with the android from the future Indigo. After her Brainiac programming kicked in, Indigo begged Shift to end her life. He reluctantly complied and became very depressed over her death. read more
