Lodestar

Lodestar is the Omnitrix's DNA sample of a Biosovortian from an unknown planet.

Appearance
Lodestar has a magnetically floating metal head which levitates in an arch between his shoulders, however, it is still bonded to his body as wherever his head goes, his body follows as shown in Video Games. He has crab-like claws for hands and his body is mainly black with yellow feet, hands, shoulders, and chest. His mouth rarely moves, even when he's talking.

In Omniverse, Lodestar has a yellow eyebrow-like crest on his forehead, and his head is now more skull-shaped. He also has lines beneath his mouth and his mouth now moves when he talks. The white glow around his head is now green. The yellow from his feet go up to his thighs. His shoulders are bigger and the yellow stripes by his chest are shorter.

Lodestar wears the Omnitrix/Ultimatrix/Omnitrix symbol on his chest.

Powers and Abilities
Lodestar is able to project magnetic fields that are capable of overloading electrical circuits and can attract magnetic materials. He can also emit magnetic pulses that allows him to magnetize any ferromagnetic metals (iron, nickel, cobalt, and gallium). His magnetic pulses in Alien Force/Ultimate Alien are white, but green in Omniverse.

Lodestar can generate a green magnetic force field that protects him from most ballistic attacks.

As seen in Ultimate Aggregor, he can regenerate if he is destroyed, pulling his shattered pieces back together. He can levitate and fly.

Lodestar possesses enhanced strength, as shown when battling the Stalker in Video Games.

Weaknesses
His head can be knocked away from his body, leaving it helpless and unable to reconnect with the head. This was first shown in Night of the Living Nightmare.

His powers are useless to nonmetallic objects.
