Ergonomic

An idea for a cool mutant power:

The passive (in that it isn't consciously activated. perhaps "triggered"?) ability to mold any object in contact with the mutant to be more ergonomically comfortable.

Sit in a chair? It is the most comfortable chair ever.
Pick up a pen? It fits your hand perfectly.
Repetetive stress injury? Don't think so.
Can't find a place to put that pesky other arm while spooning? The bed will take care of it.
Leaning up against a wall all James Dean style? You could hang out there for hours.

Don't misunderstand, this mutant power can't change the function of an object. Sure it might make your knife handle fit your hand better, but it ain't gonna make the sucker cut any easier. The wall isn't going to form to your fingers so you can climb it, though climbing holds on a rock wall will be more comfortable, even they aren't going to make the route easier.
