I'd say no to Pressure Support, Sealed, and Vacuum Support. It may be inanimate, but it would still get squished in high pressure or poofed in space.

And for Sealed well... teddy bears do absorb a lot of things over time.

To balance this out, I can see a serious ST penalty; all that fluff with no endoskeleton or exoskeleton is going to result in a teddy bear that can't lift much and hits like a pillow.
Invertebrate [-20] would work pretty well, since teddies can also fit into tight spots if they needed to!

This is actually an amazing use of imagination.

Don't forget the version with Leadership, Politics, and Survival... Teddy Roosevelt.

Wasn't he the one who the bears were named after in the first place?

But it would not be Damaged by the pressure difference.

For example, if a child were to tie a cape (dish towel) around the teddy bear's neck, it would gain suitable powers, depending on the child's imagination. In this case, Enhanced Strength, Lifting ST, Enhanced Move, some DR with the Armoured enhancement, probably Flight and/or some form of super-speed. It might have additional powers as well. (Call it "Super-Teddy and it can make a targeted slam/flying jump kick attack against the head from the rear, a la Lynn Johnson's For Better or For Worse.) If the cape is lost during battle (it has to be completely removed; it still works if there's only a small amount left as long as it remains tied about the neck) or if the child leaves the area (generally determined by line of sight), the powers are immediately lost.

As another example, if the child placed a cowboy hat on the teddy bear's head and strapped on a toy gun belt with cap revolvers, the teddy bear would gain the Gunslinger advantage and Guns! skill. If the hat is knocked off, it loses the advantage and skill, but if the roll of caps runs out, it is "out of ammo" until it can "reload" but can fight, possibly gaining Brawling, Boxing, Wrestling or some combination of those skills.
So, I created this as Morph and I felt because it was such a cool idea I'd share. Thanks againm the player loved this power.
