Big Chill

Big Chill is the Codon Stream's DNA sample of a Necrofriggian from the planet Kylmyys.

Ben first transformed into Big Chill during the episode Kevin's Big Score, while he was chasing down Kevin after he stole the Rust Bucket.

Appearance


Big Chill is a humanoid, moth-like alien whose wings and antenna can fold up into a hooded robe, which covers up his Omnitrix/Ultimatrix symbol, giving him the appearance of a phantom. He has a black body with blue and white spots on his arms and legs that resemble ice chunks, a light blue torso and large green eyes. He has three fingers and a thumb on each hand and two toes on each foot and a third toe-like extension on his ankles.

Powers and Abilities
Big Chill is capable of breathing a freezing vapor that automatically lowers the temperature within the vapors range, encasing his targets in a thick layer of ice. As seen in Birds of a Feather and Single-Handed, Big Chill can generate freezing beams from his hands that he can manipulate at will. In Map of Infinity, it is shown that he can spit ice crystal projectiles. He is also shown in Save the Last Dance to be strong enough to lift a car.

Like his counterpart Ghostfreak, Big Chill's body contains a density-altering protoplasm that allows him to render himself intangible and invisible. He can combine his cryrokinetic abilities with his intangibility to freeze objects he passes through. Because he can alter his density, Big Chill can levitate and fly to a certain extent without using his wings (though he is much faster if he uses his wings).

Counter-intuitively, Big Chill is not only immune to the effects of extreme cold, but is easily capable of withstanding extreme heat, at one point drinking molten metal directly from a massive smelting cauldron without any ill effects. In Deep, he is shown to be able to breathe underwater.

Weaknesses
Big Chill has trouble phasing through certain types of energy (e.g. in Good Copy, Bad Copy, Big Chill was harmed by Brainstorm's electrical storms), although in Save the Last Dance, he had no trouble phasing through the factory guards' plasma blasts. His intangibility is also useless against opponents who can also turn intangible as their intangibility cancels out, as shown in Map of Infinity. Big Chill's powers are conciously activated, which means he can't use his powers if he is caught off guard (highlighted in Fool's Gold). The series has been inconsitant with his weakness. Brainstorm's attacks prevented Big Chill from becoming intangible previously, but when used by Kevin in Absolute Power, Brainstorm's attacks sailed harmlessly though Big Chill, suggesting he has to be solid for it to effect him. The only solid objects that have been proven to hurt Big Chill when intangible is, the netting that was deployed from the Rustbucket and Vilgax's glove.

 * Big Chill is the only alien beside Eye Guy and XLR8 (that is not anime) to appear in a live action movie.
