Stretchy Powers

Stretchy Powers are the powers that Jake the Dog uses to change the shape of his body. Jake has been seen to use a variety of Stretchy Powers. Jake claims that he thought he got them by rolling around in mud, as stated in the episode, "The Witch's Garden", but Pendleton Ward's Formspring, stated that it wasn't how he got his powers, and that Jake just "couldn't remember" (though with the many abilities that Dogs in this world all seem to possess, it is just possible he was born with them and that the "rolling in the mud" excuse was just due to not knowing fully himself or his own bad memory). Pen Ward also said that Jake doesn't know the full use of his powers because he's too lazy to use them fully until "The Limit". Jake can also shrink his entire body so Finn can hold him and fit in his pocket,as is evident in "It Came from the Nightosphere". In the episode "Loyalty to the King", Jake makes an ear shield so he and Finn can get by the princesses. Also, Jake often uses a form of stretchy powers called Key Hand. It is possible that other characters have this ability. (See "Trivia") In "Beautopia," he uses a Pick-Axe Hand hand to try to pop the Glub Glubs.

Trivia

 * Jake can be stretched by force as seen in "Ocean of Fear," where Finn stretched Jake's ears to avoid making contact with the ocean.
 * Jake's Subconscious died when Jake lost his powers, so his subconscious possibly could be the source of his powers (when he's in Jake's body.)
 * Rainicorns may have stretchy powers too, because they've been seen stretching their bodies out. It's Jake_not_blink.jpgwn if it's a coincidence that Jake and Lady R. both have stretchy powers and seem to be dating (They also have the same eyes.)
 * There is an upward limit to Jake's Stretchy Powers, for if he exerts himself too much he could die, as seen in "The Limit." This is because his body stretches like a piece of bubblegum, as the more he stretches, the thinner he gets, until it becomes difficult for his organs to function.
 * Also shown in "The Limit", if Jake stretches too far, he can't close his eyes.
 * Stretchy powers is the most seen and used ability in the series appearing in almost every episode.
 * No one knows if Jake will use his powers to his fullest extent.
 * Jake's gender-swap version Cake also has stretchy powers.
