Upchuck

Upchuck is the Codon Stream's DNA sample of a Gourmand from the planet Peptos XI.

Appearance
Upchuck has green skin, six sprout-like growths on the back of his head, a dark-green patch of skin on his head, light-green skin on his face, neck and belly and crooked teeth. He also has a green tail.

In the original series, Upchuck wore a black open-front suit with white over-sleeves and white bands around his legs and white padding under his three-toed feet and wears the Omnitrix symbol on his left hand.

In Alien Force and Ultimate Alien, Upchuck just wears the Omnitrix/Ultimatrix symbol on his tummy.

In Heroes United, Upchuck's black lines on his face are longer, reaching his mouth. Also, he only has two lines instead of three.

Powers and Abilities
Upchuck has four very strong, adhesive tongues that can stretch to great lengths, allowing Upchuck to latch onto large objects and reel them in with relative ease.

Upchuck's mouth and stomach can also stretch, allowing him to swallow and digest objects fairly larger than himself.

Upchuck possesses several acid-filled stomachs that dissolve almos

t all forms of matter. In Ben 4 Good Buddy it's revealed that he can't consume organic Matter. The items ingested are converted into explosive balls of liquids that can be expelled with great accuracy. He can also make them curve, like a boomerang, shuriken or frisbee.



Upchuck is able to take a surprising amount of punishment for a creature of its size, taking the force of a moving car impact as well as surviving after being thrown through a wall.

In Duped, it is shown that Upchuck can spit out slime.

Upchuck can also eat and spit out energy, such as lasers, in the same way he eats and spits out matter.

In Heroes United, Upchuck was capable of eating Alpha's containment ball, demonstrating to have very strong and durable tongues, as the ball weighed an immeasurable amount.

Weaknesses
Upchuck has a limit to how many big objects he can swallow at once.

Upchuck is also slow when he eats a lot of things and becomes excessively fat. Otherwise, he is somewhat quick, considering his small size.

If Upchuck does not spit out something he eats, he will get very fat until he spits it out.
