History Characters / Ben10OmnitrixAliens

* OvershadowedByAwesome: While Grey Matter's high intelligence and small size were quite useful in the original series, ''Alien Force'' introduced Brainstorm, who also possesses high intelligence (though generally suggested to be less so than Grey Matter) and combines it with ShockAndAwe and MindOverMatter. Then, ''Alien Swarm'' gave us Nanomech, who is even smaller than Grey Matter, can fly and shoot electrical blasts.

* SkunkStripe: Ultimate Wildmutt has one down his back. It's even got a black outline where it attaches to his back, making it more obviously this trope.

* YouNeedABreathMint: Stated several times by other characters that Stinkfly, well... ''stinks''.

* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: Being indescribably hideous turns out to be a rather useful power.

** [[EatsBabies Eating. Babies.]] [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Is.]] ''[[AndThatsTerrible Not.]]'' [[PreAssKickingOneLiner COOL!]]
** You can hurt me. You can hurt the things I stand for! You could even hurt my feelings, if I had any! But ''nobody'', and I mean ''NOBODY'', hurts the smoothie!

* TheLoad: Even ''The Worst'' has more utility than him. Walkatrout is the only one of Ben's aliens to never have accomplished a single thing onscreen; the ''one'' time Ben intentionally transformed into him was so he could [[ItMakesSenseInContext flush himself down the toilet]], and he couldn't even do that. Skurd had to use Four Arms's strength to force him down.

* {{Shapeshifting}} is the power it grants Ben and the forms available for shifting [[SerialEscalation can escalate upwards forever]].

* JokeCharacter[=/=]LightningBruiser: He's the former on dry land, but in water, he becomes the latter.

* LethalJokeCharacter: Much like Grey Matter, he is small and possess weak attacks, but he can be used to destroy robots from the inside. Not to mention his size and abilities actually makes him the perfect opponent to defeat a ''To'kustar''.

* 80sHair: Sports a mullet in the original series and ''Ultimate Alien''.

* 80'sHair: Sports a mullet in the original series and ''Ultimate Alien''.

* 80s Hair: Sports a mullet in the original series and ''Ultimate Alien''.

* 80's Hair: Sports a mullet in the original series and ''Ultimate Alien''.

** Most blatant seen with Bullfrag, a genetically optimal and healthy Incursean: While the standard Inkursean grunts are human-sized, gaunt, and frail-looking due to their rather poor diets (except for [[AdiposeRex Milleous]]), Bullfrag meanwhile is taller than the average human and has a HeroicBuild. The only other Incursean to look significantly different is [[WarriorPrincess Attea]].
** Downplayed but noticeable with Fourarms as well. Female Tetramands are stronger than males, and Ben as Fourarms faced off against the WarriorPrincess Looma, Warlord Gar's Greatest Warrior and not only matched her in strength, but defeated her in combat.

* ChestInsignia: The Omnitrix's symbol will appear somewhere on the body of every alien it transforms its wearer into. Most commonly in the center of the chest, but it does vary for some.
* ClingyMacGuffin: The thing is '''stuck''' on Ben's wrist. This prevents villains from simply taking it from him. [[spoiler:Though by the last season of Alien Force this is no longer true, as Ben knows exactly how to remove the thing whenever he wants. He just doesn't want to]].

* EmpathicWeapon: Strongly hinted; the Omnitrix is never specifically stated to possess a will of its own, but it does act like it had one occasionally. [[spoiler:This is explicitly confirmed by Ben in the Omniverse finale. The Omnitrix has a fail-safe that will turn him into whatever form is necessary to avoid his death]].
* EyesAreMental: Though this wasn't the case in the original series, from Alien Force onwards, all of Ben's transformations have green eyes, just like Ben himself. [[spoiler:This is why he wore sunglasses when he infiltrated the Incurseans as Bullfrag]].

** The Omnitrix's tendency to give Ben the wrong alien started out as only occasional, only to get worse over the course of the Original Series and ''even'' worse by the time of ''Omniverse'', where it ends up becoming a surprise when he actually gets the alien he wants. It has reached a point where Ben doesn't even ''try'' to select an alien and just push the dial while hoping for the best. He complains about this to Azmuth, who merely blames Ben's lack of dexterity and habit of smacking the watch too hard (it's worth noting that Ben at times has visibly selected the wrong alien and failed to notice).
** The first two seasons of ''WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce'' did avert this with Ben only miss-transforming twice due to the dial getting jarred by outside forces. Its implied that the Omnitrix re-calibration fixed the issue and it was only after he tried hacking the Omnitrix in the season 3 premiere that it started to actively malfunction again. And the Ultimatrix was an unfinished prototype, fixed by Albedo with multiple issues such as the Ultimate forms becoming sentient, so it giving Ben the wrong alien from time to time is understandable.

* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: The alien forms occasionally display abilities never hinted at before or ever seen again, which were handwaved by Man of Action as "Omnitrix glitches".

** The Life-Form lock function allows Ben to lock himself into an alien form for an extended period of time. [[spoiler:He uses it to infiltrate the Incursean army as Bullfrag]].

* SuddenlyVoiced: From ''Alien Force'' onward.
* SuperpowerLottery: Whenever Ben gains a new alien he is basically playing the lottery on what sort of power he gets. Sometimes the power is an obvious winner (Atomix), sometimes it takes a bit of time to figure out how to use the form (for example Cannonbolt), and on occasion the species is a JokeCharacter. WordOfGod even established during the Omniverse and later eras that Ben had unlocked a number of aliens with lower quality abilities that he mostly doesn't use and we never see until some art for them was made up in 2020: such aliens include names like Bungee Sponge, Hippopotamass, Skidmarx, Mealymouth and Crabtastic.

* {{Troll}}: If Ben wants Four Arms, he'll get Grey Matter. If he wants Grey Matter, he'll get Ghostfreak. If he wants Ghost Freak, he'll get Cannonbolt. While sometimes the Omnitrix knows better than Ben, other times the randomness can only be attributed to it being a jerk (or, according to Azmuth, Ben being too rough with the device). The most notable example is the occasion when it turned Ben into Rath, the ''only'' feline alien Ben had, in front of a villainess who could mind-control felines.
-->'''Ben:''' Sometimes... I think this thing hates me.
* UltimateLifeForm: The transformations Ben becomes are, per several WordOfGod statements, the prime versions of their species that, with the Ultimatrix, be further evolved into combat-focus Ultimate Forms.

* MesACrowd: Can duplicate if he has enough energy, or if he's cut in half.

* {{Expy}}: Of both Dr. Frankenstein ''[[CompositeCharacter and]]'' [[FrankensteinsMonster his monster]].

* AwesomeButImpractical: Possibly the most extreme example of the trope. Alien X can ''warp reality on a universal scale'', meaning he is technically omnipotent. Unfortunately, because Ben can only control one of the three personalities he can't use any of that power, thus making the alien not only useless but ''dangerous'', since Ben needs Selena's and Bellicus' accord to ''move or turn back to human''. Because of this, he is the only alien where Ben had to develop a fail-safe on the Ultimatrix to ensure he ''wouldn't'' turn into Alien X.

* SealedEvilInADuel: Or more accurately "Sealed Neutral in a Debate". Selena and Bellicus do not care about whatever problem Ben is having. [[spoiler: Even the destruction of the universe itself was met with indifference. Ben had to convince them to ''recreate'' the universe because he couldn't convince them to save it in time. Ben later gets them to give him control over Alien X by suggesting that, with him in control, he wouldn't ever need to interfere with their debates.]]

* ComboPlatterPowers: Ghostfreak's intangibility with Arctiguana's ice powers. At one point, Big Chill's subconscious takes over similarly to Ghostfreak, but it wasn't for evil intentions -- [[spoiler:it was to give BIRTH]].

* PoweredArmor: Echo Echo's body is either a small robot or containment suit of some kind. This can be seen through the fact that when several clones were destroyed in a fight against Kevin, nothing seemed to be inside of them.

* IncomingHam: "LOOOODESTAAAAARR!!"

* IncredibleShrinkingMan: And he ''starts'' at about an inch. Nanomech can shrink so small he could maneuver between the lava droplets of an eruption.

* {{Sizeshifter}}: Has the power to go even smaller.

* MrFanservice: In his Luchador Outfit

* CallingYourAttacks: Like a few other aliens, Atomix gives names to some of his attacks. These incluude "Fissile Whistle" (a flying punch), "Nuclear Winner" (a devastating nuclear explosion), and "Fusion Cuisine" (a miniature sun).

* ADogNamedDog: His name is a slang term for his species.

* LogicalWeakness: His Corrupturas won't work if they can't stick to an opponent's forehead. This allows several characters to avoid his mind control powers: Zs'Skayr by phasing through them, Ben by blocking it, Hobble through the slimy mucus on his body, and Exo-Skull through his armor. By extension, characters that could burn through them, such as a Pyronite, would also be immune.

* StoneWall: He has zero combat ability, but his species is pretty much indestructible. He's actually effective at tanking, as he took a two-hour beating from an Appoplexian with not a mark to show for it before the latter fainted from exhaustion. In "Most Dangerous Game Show", a female of the species struts across lava like it's nothing.

* TheGhost: According to Derrick Wyatt, [[https://ask.fm/DerrickJWyatt/answer/121379462772 he was one of the aliens Ben turned into off-screen in "Let's Do The Time War Again."]]
* {{Telepathy}}: His power is "sort of" this, according to Matt Wayne.

* BadPowersGoodPeople: It's still Ben, despite his MindControl and LifeDrain powers.

* DarkIsNotEvil: Despite his appearance and powers, it's still Ben in there.

* CallBack: A callback to when Ben got Blitzwolfer for the first time; he remarks how he should've let Vilgax touch the Omnitrix to obtain his DNA. ''Several'' years later, he finally can transform into a Chimera Sui Generis.
** When the Omnitrix changes Ben into Gax in midair, Ben wonders if Gax can fly. In Alien Force, Vilgax could fly due to absorbing the power of heroes from the planets he conquered. It was also implicitly where he gained EyeBeams, but Gax possesses it naturally.
** Gax is also heavily based on Vilgax's original appearance before he got cybernetics, including his original coloration for his skin, head tube, and mace ball shoulder pads.

* InformedAbility: The trivia pop-up version of "Ken 10" said that Toepick could shoot acid from his fingers. He has not demonstrated such an ability in ''Omniverse''. According to WordOfGod, they didn't know this, so they invented a power, which is how the current Toepick came to be.

* NightmareFace: One capable of scaring [[PhysicalGod Celestialsapiens]] and [[HorrifyingTheHorror Ectonurites]], but not Ma Vreedle.
* PleaseKeepYourHatOn: It can be traumatic to others if he takes it off.

* StoryBreakerPower: All three times he has appeared, he saved the day by merely standing in front of the villain. The first two times were accidental transformations and Ben didn't even seem to realize who he was the second time. However, this wouldn't work on beings without emotion or beings that are blind. Also, Derrick J. Wyatt has stated that Ma Vreedle isn't scared of him, though he states that [[FridgeHorror she's seen worse]].

* JokeCharacter: {{Invoked}}: WordOfGod jokes that his superpower is being able to walk.
* SlipperyTropes: His body is so slippery, no one can hold him.
* SuperNotDrowningSkills: Presumably, since he is a fish.

* {{Expy}}: He's basically [[WesternAnimation/PeterPan Tinker Bell]] if she were an alien. WordOfGod is he has similar powers to [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Jigglypuff]]. [[invoked]]

* AtrociousAlias: He's the only alien that Ben ''intentionally'' chose a bad name for, out of frustration toward his general uselessness.

* JokeCharacter: He can't really accomplish anything.

* NotCompletelyUseless: Once he's revealed to be indestructible.

* WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway: Being ''completely indestructible'' isn't usually this, but the fact that he's not immune to pain too combined with his beyond sub-par physical ability means there's really no reason to ''ever'' want to turn into The Worst. WordOfGod even suggests he is 16-year-old Ben's least favorite alien.

* LogicalWeakness: His powers of gravitational force makes him a potent threat to opponents, but that this power is limited to weight only. As Albedo figured out, significantly changing one's individual shape and height, otherwise known as the amount of matter in an object, is enough to overwhelm Gravattack's orbit.

* AreaOfEffect: An actual limitation to his ability; when it can affect everyone around him, it includes his allies.
* BlowYouAway: This trope is another of his disadvantage, where wind can carry his gaseous chemicals away easily.

* {{Expy}}: Based off of [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Koffing]], Derrick J. Wyatt's favorite Pokémon.
* {{Fartillery}}: Just one method of expelling his gases.

* StoryBreakerPower: If Ben were willing to kill and/or much more familiar with certain chemical compounds, this form could defeat almost anything that breathes. [[DownplayedTrope Then again]], he had to make sure said certain chemical compounds won't reach those he's not willing to kill first (such as his allies).

%%* GoodCounterpart: To Liam.

* LightningBruiser: Physically strong, fast, and remarkably agile.
* NobleBirdOfPrey: This hero form's name is a pun on "Chickenhawk", and he often screeches like a hawk, so he's likely intended to be one, rather than a chicken - like Liam was.
* RoundhouseKick: His primary attack in battle, fighting primarily with his legs.

* WeakButSkilled: His strength is still above average, but compared to Four Arms, Rath, and Humungousaur, he relies less on brute and strength and more on martial arts. In "Rook Tales," Ben even mentioned that Kickin' Hawk is his best hand-to-hand fighter.

* JokeCharacter: Initially introduced as useless. Even after figuring out his powers, he still has a very goofy appearance now accompanied by a British accent.

* BackFromTheDead: He was (somehow) brought back in "Showdown Part 2" [[spoiler:when Ben finally forgives himself for what happened to the form]].
* BewareMyStingerTail: When [[spoiler:Malware]] had him in a headlock, Feedback jabbed him from behind with his tail to break free.
* {{Cyclops}}

* EnergyAbsorption: He can absorb energy.

* GRatedDrug: It's implied that he was this to Ben when he was younger. Ben became addicted to the form to the point where Feedback was the only alien he ever wanted to use, prompting even Azmuth to come and warn Ben about his overuse of the form. Ben himself admitted years later that even he never understood why he liked him so much.
-->'''Ben:''' He just felt different. Better.

* LightningBruiser: He's pretty fast and agile, and he also packs quite a punch.

* RememberTheNewGuy: He is introduced in the flashbacks as Ben's favorite alien during the Original Series' era when he was 11, despite never even being mentioned before. Justified in that the original series ended when Ben was still 10, and Ben couldn't use him anymore and swore to never think about it again.
* ShockAndAwe: The latest in a long line of electrokinetic aliens.
* SpotlightStealingSquad: 11-year-old Ben was quite fond of this alien, using him constantly in the time between the Original Series and ''Alien Force'', even when other aliens would have been a more logical choice. Lampshaded several times by Gwen:
-->'''Gwen:''' Don't you ever get tired of that alien?
** Deconstructed when it turned out using him too much might cause Ben to lose control over his other aliens. Then Malware took advantage of it and destroyed the form.
** Averted with present Ben, as he's only used Feedback sparingly since he regained him. Ironically, in ''Max's Monster'', just when Feedback was needed the most, Ben had trouble trying to transform into him.
* StoryBreakerPower: His ability to absorb energy and fire it back often proves quite useful against Malware by reverting Malware's attacks. Malware eventually uses this to his advantage, overloading Feedback with his own energy and disintegrating him.
** It's emphasized after his return that Feedback's absorption powers are virtually limitless; he absorbed enough energy from the Helix to easily overpower Malware's Tachyon Cannon, and he can easily drain the energy out of Terroranchula!Phil, an opponent who feeds on electric energy ''himself''. In the GrandFinale, he [[spoiler:absorbs the entire blast of the ''Annihilargh'', a DoomsdayDevice that literally creates and destroys entire ''universes'']].

* {{Expy}}: Of [[ComicBook/GreenLantern Mogo the Living Planet]]

* GeniusLoci: He may not be as big as an actual planet (though he is still quite tall), but he's been classified as a "living planet," hence his gravity powers. The sphere in his stomach represents the molten core of a planet. [[FridgeLogic And yet somehow his species has a planet of its own.]]
* GentleGiant: While not really planet-sized, he is still bigger than Four Arms. According to Max in ''Food Around the Corner'', Galileans are well-known for being wise and patient.

* MightyGlacier: As long as he is not hovering, at least.

* ShockwaveClap

* StoryBreakerPower: It's quite possible that he's not used terribly often by the writers due to the fact that his abilities amount to controlling gravity, which, unlike Way Big, who often fights enemies just as big and strong as him or [[TheWorfEffect ones that prove they're dangerous]], makes him much harder to be defeated in a realistic fashion due to the fact that Ben could just make it hard for them to even move or launch them into space. "Food Around the Corner" required Ben to be Gravattack for most of the episode; said episode demonstrated that Gravattack is not entirely invincible, his planetary core can be destabilized, resulting in a massive explosion, but this required flea-sized aliens to pull off and definitely isn't something that can be done on the fly. If anything, this was done as a way to counter his story breaking abilities so that the plot can advance. Furthermore, what can hold him back is if you significantly increase your mass, which can throw off his orbit.
* ShoutOut: His Ultimate form is based on the Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Geodude with a pair of satellites resembling Koffing
* SuperStrength: Expectable when you consider he is a vaguely human-sized anthropomorphic ''planet''.
* VocalEvolution: In "Vilgax Must Croak", his voice is not as deep as it was in "A Jolt from the Past".
* WeaksauceWeakness: His powers of gravitational force makes him a potent threat to opponents, but too bad that this power is limited to weight only. As Albedo figured out, significantly changing one's individual shape and height, otherwise known as the amount of matter in an object, is enough to overwhelm Gravattack's orbit.

* DatingCatwoman: Due to the influence of Bullfrag's DNA, Ben is outspokenly attracted to Attea in this form...and the feeling is mutual. It would be less {{Squick}}-ish if [[YoungerThanTheyLook Bullfrag looked Ben's age]].

* InASingleBound: Though not as high as Crashhopper.

* LightningBruiser: In the same vein as Rath and Kickin Hawk.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: See above, under BeautyEqualsGoodness.
* OverlyLongTongue: As with all Incurseans.

* InASingleBound: Much like grasshoppers, he can jump incredibly high.
* ShockwaveStomp: He can generate these upon landing.
* SpotlightStealingSquad: He is one of the most frequently used aliens in ''Omniverse'' that debuted in the series.

* BigThinShortTrio: Short to Octagon’s Thin & Rhomboid’s Big.
* DemolitionsExpert: His power, which he does [[https://ask.fm/DerrickJWyatt/answers/121285311604 "REAL good".]]

* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: When Ben was ejected into space in "The Vampire Strikes Back," Astrodactyl was able to survive.

* InformedAbility: He's meant to be Ben's second most powerful alien (behind [[RealityWarper Alien X]]), as Vilgax defeating him in "Malgax Attacks" was made to show the former was unbeatable without Skurd's help. But while [[OneHitKill one-shotting Albedo's]] [[SuperMode Ultimate Aliens]] is extremely impressive, there have still been several other aliens that have demonstrated even more powerful feats than Atomix [[note]]Specifically, Way Big overpowered the planet-busting Incursean Conquest Ray and has also defeated an enhanced version of Vilgax, Gravattack was able to catch a beast made out of time and create a black hole, Upchuck ate an energy source said to be more powerful than the sun, Goop held a planet together, and Feedback was able to catch and briefly absorb the Big Bang[[/note]]. In addition, his only other outright victory was against opponents who were already [[WeakenedByTheLight weak to light]] and [[ElementalRockPaperScissors at a disadvantage]]. Even in the fight against Malgax, Atomix wasn't shown to be doing anything noteworthy with his attacks having [[NoSell no effect]] and Whampire being shown to put up just as much of a fight, if not more.

* BigCreepyCrawlies: Although compared to Ben's other insect aliens, he isn't THAT big.

* MadeOfExplodium: He spits out sticky balls of silk that absorb things, and then uses them as ammo.
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: By Ben's own admission.
* ShoutOut: To ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'', according to WordOfGod. [[invoked]]

* WallCrawl: It is one of his abilities.

* ArmCannon: Which uses [[AbnormalAmmo his own bricks as ammunition]].
* BackForTheFinale: Omniverse Ben brings Bloxx with him for the Reboot's finale episode.

* {{Expy}}: Of [=GutsMan.EXE=] from ''VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork'' in terms of design.
* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: He was cut in half in "Arrested Development".
* HealingFactor: He can regenerate from nearly any injury.

* RubberMan: On account of being able to shapeshift.
* ShoutOut: He’s pretty much made of Franchise/LEGO.

* SuperStrength: One of his powers.

* EnergyWeapon: His signature attack.
* PteroSoarer: He looks like a vaguely humanoid pterosaur.
* StarPower: According to WordOfGod, he has some kind of internalized star power, that he can use as propulsion and different forms of weapons.

* SpotlightStealingSquad: He is Ben's main flight alien in Omniverse, making him one of the most frequently used.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: He appears to be one of Jetray via being a flying speed-alien whose powers include firing energy beams.

* AscendedExtra: Like Toepick, he was briefly mentioned back in the original series episode, ''Ken 10''. Ken was disappointed that he was not one of the aliens on his Omnitrix. He then became a fully present alien in Omniverse.
* AtomicSuperpower: Atomix can create or manipulate atomic or nuclear energy using his hands and is powerful to the point of being a StoryBreakerPower. Incidentally, he fused with RealityWarper Alien X in a Fusion Dance to create Atomic-X, which was AwesomeButImpractical and had the disadvantages of both Atomix ''and'' Alien X.
* CallingYourAttacks: "Fissile whistle!" and "Nuclear winner!".
* {{Expy}}: Of [[Characters/DragonBallSonGoku Goku]], and anime characters in general.
* FlyingBrick: He can fly despite a lack of any visible means to do so.
* ILoveNuclearPower: A much better-controlled version, compared to NRG.
* InformedAbility: WordOfGod states that he is Ben's second most powerful alien (behind [[RealityWarper Alien X]]) yet he really doesn't live up to the hype. He hasn't accomplished anything really impressive outside [[OneHitKill one-shotting Albedo's]] [[SuperMode Ultimate Aliens]]. His only other outright victory was against opponents who were already [[WeakenedByTheLight weak to light]] and [[ElementalRockPaperScissors at a disadvantage]]. There have been several other aliens that have demonstrated more powerful feats than Atomix, including Way Big and even ''Goop''.[[note]]Specifically Way Big overpowered the Incursean Conquest Ray which destroyed Pluto and was implied to be capable of destroying Earth and has also defeated an enhanced version of Vilgax, Gravattack was able to catch a beast made out of time and create a black hole, Goop held a planet together and Feedback was able to catch and briefly absorb the Big Bang.[[/note]] Even in the fight against Malgax, Atomix wasn't shown to be doing anything noteworthy with his attacks having [[NoSell no effect]] and Whampire being shown to put up just as much of a fight, if not more.
* InformedFlaw: WordOfGod is that he is at risk of having a total nuclear meltdown if he takes enough damage.

* KirbyDots: The presumable glass openings on him show he's full of them.
* LargeHam: Rivals Rath as Ben's hammiest alien yet.
* NighInvulnerable: Until he's hit by TheWorfEffect in "Malgax Attacks".

* TookALevelInBadass: While he was already one of Ben's favorites in the original series when he returned in ''[[WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce Alien Force]]'', he gained telekinetic control over his crystals and the ability to make them ''explode''. He ended up trouncing Vilgax despite the fact that he had previously been unable to scratch him. He does not retain these abilities in ''Omniverse''.

* InformedFlaw: According to the Bandai profile, his species has a problem running on water due to the static electricity they produce while moving. Yet, [=XLR8=] has been seen walking on water with no such problems. Fans usually assume the suit might be protecting him.

* BackForTheFinale: Ultimate Alien Ben brings Ampfibian with him for the final part of the reboot.

* ThisIsADrill: He doesn't really have one in the original show, but Omniverse portrays him spinning his hands like drills.

* AdorableAbomination: Specifically, his design in Omniverse. He looks remarkably sweet for a humanoid beetle freak.

* TheCameo: His debut is a voiceless appearance in "Basic Training." He speaks for the first time in "A Knight to Remember".

* TheImp: He's less than three feet tall.

* TurtlePower: His name is a pun on terrapin, a term used to describe several species of brackish or freshwater turtles.

* EnergyBeing: What he really is. And a ''radioactive'' one, to boot.
* EyeBeams: Since his three eye slits are the only openings in his suit, his powers usually manifest this way.
%%* FantasticLightSource

* MightyGlacier: Until he gets let out of his armor that is.
* MultiformBalance: When in the containment suit, NRG is slow but has enhanced strength and endurance. It also protects him from enemies like the Lucabra's mind control. Out of the suit NRG is able to fly, is much more nimble, and generates light that makes him well suited to fight enemies like Ghostfreak. His different forms are each well suited for various types of enemies.

* SealedGoodInACan: Though he can get out much easier than P'andor could.
* SuperStrength: Courtesy of the armor.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Brainstorm, minus the super-intelligence.
* TheWorfEffect: Shocksquatch was frequently beaten in Omniverse episodes to show the power and danger of various foes.

* AntiMagic: The whole species is immune to mana. Ben never takes advantage of this when facing mana-wielding enemies, not even when traveling through a realm made of mana and fighting enemies whose only weapon is mana.
* EverythingsBetterWithSpinning: How he generates his wind attacks and how he flies.

* MightyGlacier: Slow but has a powerful tornado attack and sturdiness (not to mention an immunity to magic)
* SeriesContinuityError: Oddly enough, he does get affected by Gwen's spells in one episode.

* TornadoMove: His typical attack.

* {{Expy}}: Basically Franchise/TheFlash, but blue.
* LightningBruiser: Confirmed to be stronger than [=XLR8=] physically ([[InformedAbility though he doesn't seem to be that strong, considering what's been seen]]).

** CallBack: For what it's worth, Fasttrack does get a little Easter egg in "Fastcat", who is apparently his Dimension 23 counterpart according to WordOfGod.
* MascotRacer: Was created as one for Galactic Racing.
* SuddenlyVoiced: After having a voiceless appearance in "Basic Training", he speaks for the first time in "A Knight to Remember".

* EvilCounterpart: Well, not exactly evil, but he ''is'' something of a more mischievous version of Grey Matter.
* GeniusDitz: When fixing things rather than breaking them. A good example was in ''Gone Fishing'', where he defeats a whole army of robot pirates of his own... by breaking several of them and using the pieces to build a new, more powerful version to fight the remaining ones. He also built Ben's motorcycle, the Tenn-Speed. [[spoiler:And reprogrammed the Forever Knights' Highbreed Pulse Generator to permanently mutate Will Harangue into an alien.]]

* SuperStrength: Not even Appoplexian-proof metal bars are safe from him.

* WalkingTechbane[=/=]WalkingTechfix: Yes, both.
