* HowDoIShotWeb: Ben initially has no idea what Cannonbolt's ability is and stumbles around trying to figure it out.



* WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway: Ben feels this way at first since all Cannonbolt can do is roll around and is clumsy on his feet. Subverted when he puts it to use later and he realizes how much ass it can really kick. It goes on to be one of his most used forms in the series.

Added DiffLines:

During a visit to Yellowstone National Park, Ben accidentally unlocks a new alien form, a large armadillo-like species. He initially does not like the new form, as it seemingly has no abilities except rolling around and is clumsy when simply walking. Unfortunately, a giant alien tick lands in the park, followed by three disciples, and attaches itself to the ground, and begins mutating and draining the very planet itself! Now Ben must try to figure out how to destroy the giant tick and eventually discover the value of his new alien form.
