Grey Matter

Grey Matter is the Codon Stream's DNA sample of a Galvan from the planets Galvan Prime and Galvan Mark II.

Appearance
Grey Matter is a gray-skinned, frog-like, bipedal alien, only six inches tall with large green eyes with little minus sign like pupils. He wears a white jump suit with a black stripe going down it.

In the original series, Grey Matter wore the Omnitrix symbol on his back.

In Ultimate Alien, his eyes are a lighter shade of green and he wears the Ultimatrix symbol on his chest.

Gwen as Grey Matter has Gwen's hair and has more oval shaped eyes with much smaller pupils. She wears a light blue jump suit with dark blue sleeves. She wears the Omnitrix symbol on her back.

Powers and Abilities
Grey Matter's size belies his great calculative and technical intellect. He can create almost anything from spare parts and know the function of any device at a glance. Grey Matter's intellect serves as a problem solver and analytical help in difficult situations.

Grey Matter can sometimes manipulate living things by stimulating certain parts of their anatomy, if such beings can be controlled by external stimuli.

Grey Matter's size allows him to squeeze into small spaces and he can climb walls thanks to tiny suction cups on his skin. He also has sharp teeth and his slimy skin makes him difficult to grab.

Grey Matter appears to be stronger than he looks, as he was strong enough to move a cleaner's bucket with mops in it in Ultimate Weapon.

Weaknesses
Grey Matter's size makes him unsuitable for psychical battle, so he must outsmart his enemies in a fight.

Animals like dogs can pose a problem, as they may see Grey Matter as food or a toy.
