Interesting comparison : being a Pretender is like being silly putty, nice oxymoron here, a genius compared to something silly...
Reminds me of a sci-fi character I once read about, a shape shifter who looked like his partner's dream person, but no-one ever saw him for who he was... Quite a classic, really.

Hmm, interesting. Sounds a bit like Kamala in Star Trek: The Next Generation's "The Perfect Mate." Just a bit.
I really thought the brief scene between Jarod and the girl he bought the silly putty from might be hinting at this. She used the very words they use for Jarod: "It can be anything you want it to be." "He can become anything he wants to be."
