Hookwolf can transform into a shifting mass of hooks, blades and other weapons.<ref name="Cast1">'''Hookwolf''' – A white supremacist in Brockton Bay, originally one of Kaiser's lieutenants, Hookwolf can transform himself into a shifting mass of hooks, blades and other weapons. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/cast-spoiler-free/ Worm Cast Page]</ref> He prefers to assume of the form of a large wolf-like creature, but is not limited to that shape.<ref name="11.e"/> Under the influence of [[Jacob]], Meadows began showcasing his versatility assuming forms like a Wolf-headed serpent or even an amorphous glob of blades.<ref>[[Interlude 26b]]</ref> Even when he appeared human, Hookwolf had metal encasing each of his muscles.<ref name="11.e"/><ref name="powerlist">Bread Matthews Hookwolf '''Can transform into mass of blades and metal objects, form roughly customizable''' - [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pgn9rgYutpBqJg1lSBP3NHnq9WK4ToLq9K4ys_I4cRc/htmlview parahumanList], bolded edit by Wildbow.</ref>

Hookwolf perceives his power as him pushing metal out from a 'core', into which he can draw his fleshy human body for protection.<ref name="11.e"/> Hookwolf's eyes still remain human, but are protected by a shifting screen of blades.<ref name="11.e"/> It took energy for him to create this metal, although he was able to "recycle" it by drawing it back into his core.<ref name="11.e"/>

His alternate form can take an amazing amount of damage, being torn in half by [[Leviathan]]. However, when this happened, the 'core' remained undamaged. This allowed Hookwolf to shift his remaining half back into his unscathed human state.<ref name="8.5e2">Leviathan used his claws to heave Hookwolf off his face, tore the metal beast in half, and then threw the pieces down to the ground, hard. One landed straight on top of Shadow Stalker, the other almost seemed to bounce, rapidly condensing into a roughly humanoid form before it touched the ground again, landing in a crouch. Hookwolf backed away, the blades drawing together into a human shape, skin appearing as they withdrew. He brought his hand over his head and pointed forward at Leviathan. A signal for the next front-liner. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/03/17/extermination-8-5/ Excerpt] from [[Extermination 8.5]]</ref>
