 POWER Malcolm has the ability to create sentient marble sculptures that are able to remember and relay information about what has transpired around them. They are essentially fully-fledged, though immobile beings, devoid of feelings. He is also able to alter existing marble sculptures into sentient ones by altering them with his own hand. His sentient sculptures must be composed of primarily marble, and non-marble elements will not be sentient.

Each sculpture is able to see and hear things around them, with their entirety of their surface acting like a giant eye. They must be completely covered or in the dark in order to block their vision - if the literal eyes of the sculpture are blocked (if the sculpture were a human bust, for example), the sculptures are still able to "see" through the rest of their surface. They also have the ability to talk freely, even outside of Malcolm's presence, as long as the sculpture has some kind of "mouth", which can be a literal mouth or an abstract one. The sculptures' mouths do not move when they speak and remain entirely static, only emitting a sound. Each sculpture has its own voice and personality.

Malcolm is able to create an infinite number of sentient sculptures, as the sculptures essentially take on lives of their own after he creates them. In order to remove the sentience from a sculpture, he must mark the surface of the sculpture with an "x". The creation of sentient sculptures only requires him to take some part in altering the marble, through any action such as scraping, sanding, cutting, breaking, or scoring. 

 APPEARANCE Malcolm has cocoa skin, a round face, and a pointy nubian nose. His large, soft lips conceal large, bright, slightly crooked teeth. He has chubby cheeks, wide shoulders, and a soft, rotund body. His arms are flabby but firm and strong from constant heavy lifting. He has almond-shaped, chocolate eyes that are magnetized to nearly comical proportions by his prescription, half-octagonal glasses. He has large, rounded eyebrows and black-brown puffy, coily hair that he usually ties back into a presidential ponytail. He is often told that he looks like a young, black founding father.
