Brainstorm

Brainstorm is the Codon Stream's DNA sample of a Cerebrocrustacean from the planet Encephalonus IV.

Appearance
Brainstorm has a crab-like appearance. He has 2 claws on each arm and 6 legs. He can open his skull plates at will to reveal his brain. He speaks with a British accent.



Brainstorm wears a neck brace with the Omnitrix/Ultimatrix symbol on it to help him hold up his head and breathe out of water.

In Omniverse, Brainstorm has a black loin cloth with a green strip running across it on the bottom of his body. He has a black strip in the center of his head with a green strip in the center of it. He now has 4 legs instead of 6 and each leg has a black strip on its joint. He wears the Omnitrix symbol on a belt where his neck brace use to be. The hair strips on him are longer and his eyes connect to a large black strip that extends around his forehead.

Powers and Abilities
Aside from a heightened intellect, Brainstorm can control electricity and project force fields around himself and others through thought, by opening the exoskeleton plates on his skull.

Brainstorm can use his electricity to telekinetically move objects, ranging from trains to even people and create electricity from his pincers without needing to open his skull plates, he can also cause a storm just by thinking of it.

In Vilgax Attacks, he can shoot electricity bolts and make a large electricity blast.

Brainstorm is adept at back flips. Brainstorm has the ability to control machinery and such things, Brainstorm is able to control various aspects of his electricity ranging from a pushing, to shocking, to protective coatings. Brainstorm is able to breathe underwater. Brainstorm can make mental calculations.

Weaknesses
Echo Echo's sonic blasts give Brainstorm a headache and makes it hard for him to concentrate (suggesting concentration is required for him to use his powers).

Brainstorm tends to be egotistical which makes him forget to do simple things, as seen in Vengeance of Vilgax: Part 2, when he was too busy planning an attack on Spidermonkey to remember scanning him.

Brainstorm tends to use large, scientific terms that may not be understood by those he's talking to.

Brainstorm does not have good movement with his crab legs.

Brainstorm's electric blasts can be grounded.

A weak spot in the brain, when struck, causes Brainstorm to experience excruciating and unbearable pain. Despite that, Dwayne has stated that his brain is not Brainstorm's greatest weakness.
