What I'm thinking is this: in the DC Universe, shapeshifting is a trait associated with good guys. Often tricksters, but good guys. Plastic Man, Elongated Man, Metamorpho, Beast Boy, so forth and so on. Meanwhile, over in the Marvel Universe, shapeshifting is sinister and dangerous. Mystique, Loki, Warlock (good guy but horrendously dangerous), and of course the Skrull.

Reed Richards kind of undermines this but I think there may be a general trend here.
