So Sky-Scraper's outfit changes size with her, as evidenced by her not being naked in half her cards. I was thinking it might be some super-fabric she brought with her from home, but her new outfit on Extremist also changes size, as does, presumably, her bandana in the Prime Wars art.
So can she make other things change size as well, or is it just things that are in physical contact with her when she shifts?

Sounds like a question to ask The Letters Page!
Reading over her bio it seems there are a few Thoratians who have superpowers, I guess there is an industry for clothing that does strange stuff on her planet. And I'm sure it's not beyond the great Dr. Meredith Stinson when she relocates to Earth!

Somehow that didn't cross my mind. I'mma put it in now.

Her costume is made up of unstable particles. . .
I mean how does Faye Diamond keep her outfit when she does into mist mode? The answer is what ever comic book reason they want her to have so she follows the comic code. . .
The unstable bit is in referance to the Fantasic Four. It would be nice to know for the nerd in me but I am sure it would be answered in one line.

This is the same reason why I didn’t ask “Since oxygen is solid at the temperatures he needs, what does Absolute Zero breathe?” on the Letters Page. I think they’re more likely to answer character questions than technobabble questions!
That said, if Sky-Scraper can make things in contact with her change size as she does, that creates some interesting possibilities…!

That sounds like a fantastic question! If you won't ask it, do you mind if I do?

I'd still ask. At best we get a full-blown answer, at worst we get "Because comic books". No harm, no foul.

I really want to know how Absolute Zero eats, drinks, and breathes.
I even asked that question on this forum awhile back.

Yeah, I was thinking of the previous discussion. I did ask some “what’s in the cryo chamber?” type questions, but I went more for the angle of asking what Frost does/can do with his time than asking physiological questions that come down to “because comics.”
If you want to ask about the solid oxygen, go ahead. We can see if both our questions get answered.

Absolute Zero is immortal, he is alive, yet cannot eat or drink or breathe. He has innate magical powers that allow him to see, move and make sound. Unless something manages to kill him, he will survive the heat death of the universe, where in spite of being horribly bored he will actually be comfortable.
His suit is also magical. No amount of insulation or technology is going to allow a suit that thin to have one side be -273 and the other side 30 degrees without building up an incredible layer of ice nearly instantly.
Absolue Zero, therefore, must be not only immortal, but also the most powerful Magical human in the Multiverse.

Absolute Zero's accident caused his body to become a portal to the Frost Dimension (he was saying his own name to himself right as the blast occurred and it served as a sort of summoning incantation). The sudden and extreme flow of energy between dimensions would tear his body apart and kill him as the dimensions sought find the energy equilibrium between them. The suit is not there to insulate but it's more of an interdimensional gate regulator. The energy and temperature differential on either side of the suit is because the two sides exist in different dimensions.
That, or comics.
