Alters Crawler's biology

"I've made some adaptations that your parasite hadn't gotten around to yet," she said.

"I'm gonna kill you!"

"Everybody says that, but it never really sticks," she said. "Anyway, you know that old bit about powers not working outside the atmosphere? That's total crap. It's an artificial limit by the parasites because the power expenditure is kind of high the farther out you go, and because, basically fuck humanity, or at least that's their attitude. You don't have to worry about that, big man. I fixed it so your power works just fine."
