I should have known as soon as Ezra got some kind of super-power that he would use it for evil. Well, not evil really, but certainly not for good.
One night, Hayden, Ezra and I were out exploring and found what looked like an abandoned factory. We went inside, and found out it wasn't abandoned, just shut down. We realized we were trespassing and started to leave, but a piece of floor broke under Ezra and he fell, and then we all fell, down into the basement, where we landed on some big drums of chemicals that broke and got all over us.
It turned out the chemicals had never been combined in just that way before, and they gave all three of us the power to instantly become any person we wanted to [become].
This was just the beginning - we had the power to morph and maybe the power to save the rainforest.
