Name: Rustbucket

Species: Genoxys

Homeworld: Aerugo

Voice: High-pitched, bearing a marginal resemblance to Golum's voice in accent, with a certain disposition toward a clicking noise native the species

Appearance: Rustbucket is small, about the size of a cat, not including his long tail. His head is round and largely expressionless, though he conveys emotion through his four large eyes. Two short stubs are situated on the back of his head. His arms are wings, not unlike those of a bat, but with scalloped edges. Where a bat's thumb claw would be are two smaller claws, which double as paws when walking, as he is a quadruped. His back legs are shorter. His tail is long and similar to a scorpion's, ending in a stinger. Rustbucket's body is covered in a natural sort of rigid skin, but it is flexible rather than durable. His skin is brown, but with a distinct rusty red tinge.

Powers: Rustbucket's primary power is the ability to naturally produce large quantities of oxygen. The trick with this, for which he earned his name, is that he can use this oxygen to rapidly oxidize metal, causing it to rust away in mere moments. This talent especially is used with his tail, by stinging metal, he can quickly cause it to rust. Being small enough to squeeze inside of them, Rustbucket can wreak havoc on machines. Oxygen can also be expelled through pores on his wings. This can give him a boost while flying, or fill an area with high levels of oxygen quickly. Because oxygen is highly flammable, this is very potent, though Rustbucket lacks the power to ignite it himself without a source of fire. Rustbucket can also fly and is fairly nimble.

Weaknesses: Though Rustbucket has no single specific weakness, it is worth noting that he is not very strong or durable. Any sufficient force can hurt him. Furthermore, he lacks resistance to the great heat of his own combusted oxygen, should he encounter it.

Trivia:  Rustbucket was named after Max's RV, also called the Rustbucket.
