Character Profiles
Vilgax
Vilgax defeated the heroes of 10 different planets and took their powers as his own. Vilgax is Ben
Arch nemesis that is a Chimera Sui Generis, which are large aliens with incredible strength. He controls and army of robotic minions and bounty hunters as well as several of Ben’s old villains who also seek the Omnitrix and revenge.
Ultimate Echo Echo
Ultimate Echo Echo is the Ultimate form of Ben’s Alien Force persona, Echo Echo. He is much larger than the original Echo Echo, and is unable to duplicate himself. However, his powers are more extensive than the original Echo Echo.
Fasttrack
The cat-like Citrakâyah are super fast and have high endurance, so they can run very quickly and very far. Their speed extends to all of their movements: one could take a pen out of your hand and you’d write two words before you even knew it was gone! Like all Citrakâyah, Ben’s form, Fasttrack, is extremely agile, so it’s hard to hit him with blasts because he can easily dodge them. It’s even harder to land a punch on him, unless he’s been wrapped up and immobilized. Fasttrack is dark blue and light blue, and when he runs, his stripes leave an after-image behind him: brilliant streaks in the air where he was.
Swampfire
An immensely strong, muck-encrusted, walking compost heap, Swampfire’s body produces large amounts of highly flammable methane gas. Swampfire can shoot fire from his hands like a flamethrower. He’s nearly impervious to physical harm: Projectiles pass harmlessly through him and severed limbs can be reattached. Swampfire also controls the growth of nearby plant life and can re-grow his entire body when needed.
Four Arms
Standing twelve feet tall, Four Arms is a formidable four-armed alien who can use his tremendous strength to dish out the punishment, while his armored skin protects him from harm.

Kevin Ethan Levin, aka “Kevin 11,” is Ben’s 17-year-old, super-powered, matter-absorbing, former nemesis. Recently escaped from the extra-dimensional prison, the NULL VOID, Kevin now travels with his former enemies, helping them for his own reasons but sometimes scheming on the side. He can turn himself into metal, wood, stone or any similar substance by absorbing its properties through touch. Kevin is street smart and much wiser in the ways of the world than his more naïve teammates. He’s as cool as they come, and he knows it.
Ultimate Cannonbolt is the same race as Cannonbolt, after having been evolved by the Ultimatrix—which creates an Ultimate Alien by running simulations on a creature’s DNA, putting it through harsher and harsher scenarios over millions of theoretical years, making it stronger and stronger, stopping only at the point when further evolution would create a whole new species. All Ultimate Aliens are 10 times more powerful than their non-Ultimate counterparts. Like Cannonbolt, Ultimate Cannonbolt has a similar stocky, sturdy form that can roll up into a ball to race at lightning speed, plow through walls, or bowl over his enemies. But Ultimate Cannonbolt has more armor, is faster, and has metal spikes that can be fired as projectiles.
Rath’s powers are speed, strength, agility, large claws, extreme durability, and an encyclopedic knowledge of grappling moves.
Spidermonkey is a multi-limbed marsupial who somewhat resembles an Earth monkey. In addition to having superhuman agility, this nimble alien creature can stick to walls like a spider as well as spin giant webs using a silk as hard as steel cable.
Ampfibian is an extremely fast swimmer who can shock the enemy with powerful electricity blasts
