Tetramand (Classic)

Tetramand (a play on the Latin "tetra", meaning "four" and "mand", meaning "arms") are an alien species from the desert planet Khoros.

Tetramands come in different colors, such as red, blue and green.

Appearance
Tetramands are a buff and bulky species. Most Tetramands are red but two blue Tetramands have been seen (Kolar and Ben 10 Franklin(MAD: the Animated Series)). All Tetramands have spikes on their four arms. They have 2 front toes on each foot.

Powers and Abilities
Tetramands are a massive species with four very strong arms, on average, young Tetramands are about 12 feet tall with a dense armor-plated skin. With their incredibly strong legs and arms, a Tetramand can jump at a height of several stories. While not really martial artists, Tetramands have developed an arsenal of specialized maneuvers that makes use of their prodigious physiology. A favorite move is the "Big Smack" - a sonic wave produced by smashing all four hands together at the same time, which stuns an opponent into submission before a blow can be landed.

Weaknesses
Khoros' environment has evolved the Tetramands into physical powerhouses, sacrificing speed for their incredible strength. Besides making them a huge target, the Tetramands' size also makes it difficult to get inside buildings or walk down a street without knocking things down.
