Diamondhead's body is composed of extremely thick organic green crystals. He has the ability to manipulate the atomic structure of his physiology at will, allowing him to form his limbs into diamond weapons such as blades and bludgeons. Moreover, he can control all the crystals he generates. He can fire crystal shards sequentially out of his hands, as well as explosive ones,<ref name="VoVP2">''[[Vengeance of Vilgax: Part 2]]''</ref> and can explode his body parts into crystalline formations,<ref name="ATTW10">''[[And Then There Were 10]]''</ref> as well as make crystal constructs grow from his body, the latter of which he used to protect [[Gwen Tennyson (Classic)|Gwen]] from a falling tree by making large crystalline spikes appear on his back and then disappear.

Due to the natural density of crystal, Diamondhead is extremely durable to physical impacts. He has withstood being punched from [[Galvan Prime (Classic)|Galvan Prime]] all the way to [[Galvan B (Classic)|Galvan B]] by [[Malware Armor|Malgax]]. This incident also shows that Diamondhead can survive in the vacuum of space.<ref>''[[Malgax Attacks]]''</ref>

Diamondhead is the Omnitrix's DNA sample of a Petrosapien from the planet Petropia.

Appearance

Ben as Diamondhead

Being a silicon-based life form,[1][2] Diamondhead's body is composed of durable pale green crystals. He sports four crystal shards on his back and has a sharp head.

In the original series, Diamondhead wore a uniform that was black on the right half and white on the left with a black patch on the left shoulder where the original Omnitrix symbol was.

In Back with a Vengeance, Diamondhead wore a yellow raincoat.

In Destroy All Aliens, Diamondhead looked the same as in the original series, except his eyes had jewel-like facets and his outfit had detailed textures.

In Alien Force and Ultimate Alien, Diamondhead's lower body, torso, and the top of his head were similar to Chromastone's, consisting of indigo crystal which has black lines and dots over it. There were six crystal shards on his back instead of four and he also sported two more on the front of his chest. His eyes were green, and he wore the original Omnitrix/Ultimatrix symbol on his chest.

In Heroes United, Diamondhead had blades on his forearms and his crystal skin looked realistic.

In Omniverse, Diamondhead has clothing that is all black with one large green stripe down the middle up to his belt, and wears black pants. He has a green belt with white stripes on which he wears the Omnitrix symbol. Diamondhead no longer bears the crystals on his chest, and the crystals on his back have also grown in length. His jaw is larger, he wears black shoes with green on the bottom, and there are now only two crystal shards on his back.

11-year-old Diamondhead looks almost the same as in the original series, but the left side of his suit is missing the black patch around the Omnitrix symbol and the crystals on his back, as well as his jaw, are bigger. His eyes are green and the Omnitrix is recolored.

Kevin as Diamondhead

Kevin's Diamondhead looked the exact same as Ben's did in the original series, but without a black patch on the left side of his uniform. He also lacks an Omnitrix symbol.

Gwen as Diamondhead

Gwen as Diamondhead has darker and shinier crystals, thinner arms, a more rounded body, no shards on her back, and a more square head. She wears a uniform like Ben's Diamondhead in the original series, except it is half dark blue, half light blue. She wears the original Omnitrix symbol on the left side of her chest.

Ben 10,000 as Diamondhead

Ben 10,000's Diamondhead's diamond shards on his back were bigger, and the lower ones have disappeared. He wore a black sleeveless shirt, white pants and black boots, and the Omnitrix symbol on the center of his chest.

Albedo as Negative Diamondhead

Negative Diamondhead looked exactly like Ben's Diamondhead in Alien Force and Ultimate Alien except his eyes and Ultimatrix symbol were recolored red.

Gwen 10 as Diamondhead

Gwen 10's Diamondhead almost looks the same as her non-canon counterpart but is somewhat slimmer and is more bluish colored. Her eyes and original Omnitrix symbol are pink and she has a hairclip just like Gwen 10. Her outfit on the left side is different, as she now has a black patch on her left chest and a blue cat logo around her Omnitrix symbol. Similar to Gwen 10's pants, her own come halfway up her calf, and she wears black shoes.

Mad Ben as Mad Diamondhead

Mad Ben's Diamondhead has an almost completely black Mad Ben-style outfit with an orange belt, a small orange cross on his chest, and orange bandages on his forearms, thighs, and shins. His body is composed of pale blue crystals and like Mad Ben's Rath, he has silver spike pads with orange spikes on his knee joints, thighs, forearms, shoulders, and feet. He lacks the rear head spike that Ben Prime's Diamondhead has, but has a mohawk consisting of three spikes instead. His Omnitrix is on his chest and colored orange, like his eyes.

Powers and Abilities

Diamondhead's body is composed of extremely thick organic green crystals. He has the ability to manipulate the atomic structure of his physiology at will, allowing him to form his limbs into diamond weapons such as blades and bludgeons. Moreover, he can control all the crystals he generates. He can fire crystal shards sequentially out of his hands and can explode his body parts into crystalline formations,[3] as well as make crystal constructs grow from his body, the latter of which he used to protect Gwen from a falling tree by making large crystalline spikes appear on his back and then disappear.

Diamondhead can make monstrous and large clusters of crystals, conjuring walls and forming crystal shields and ramps. He can also generate crystals from the ground at a distance, can reshape his projectiles into limited shapes, and can also form gaping hands to capture enemies. Diamondhead is capable of encasing enemies in crystals,[4] and can create crystals inside of objects and cause them to spike out.

Diamondhead's body resembles a living prism, allowing weapons similar to lasers to be refracted and rendered useless. Similarly, rays generated by dimensional transporter devices will reflect off of Diamondhead's body.[5][6]

Diamondhead has inhuman physical abilities, enough to easily able to overpower Vilgax in a one-on-one brawl.[7]

Due to the natural density of crystal, Diamondhead is extremely durable to physical impacts. He has withstood being punched from Galvan Prime all the way to Galvan B by Malgax. This incident also shows that Diamondhead can survive in the vacuum of space.[8]

Diamondhead is resistant to fire and heat, such as that generated by a Pyronite, much like an ordinary diamond.[9]

Because he is made out of organic crystals, Diamondhead is immune to aging. Therefore, he is impervious to time rays generated by a Chronosapien or a Chronian, as diamonds do not age. Ben learned this when being saved from Eon's time rays by Ultimate Ben using Diamondhead's powers.[10]

Diamondhead can regenerate, but to a limited extent. He can also extend his arms, which allows him to propel himself upwards by pushing against the ground.[11][12]

If under the effects of a cold virus, Diamondhead is able to sneeze out tiny sharp crystals from his mouth. It is unknown if he can do this when he is not sick, however.[2]

Weaknesses

Despite his enhanced durability, Diamondhead's body can crack and shatter if he's impacted with enough force.[13][14]

Diamondhead is especially weak to sonic vibrations, such as a Loboan's sonic howls[15] and an Evolved Sonorosian's Sonic Disks.[16] Either one of these scenarios can render Diamondhead unconscious.

While Diamondhead can regenerate, there is a limit to how much damage he can recover from.

Diamondhead can be lifted and thrown by species with as much strength as a Tetramand.[9]

Despite being fireproof, Diamondhead's shard projectiles can be dissolved by an Evolved Methanosian's fire blasts.[16]

Diamondhead can be easily blinded by a Lepidopterran's slime should it get all over his face.[17]

Diamondhead can slipped on certain surfaces, namely ice that are generated by a Polar Manzardill, as demonstrated by Tetrax.[18]

The two shards on his back can also leave him stuck on a wall or on other surfaces that he gets knocked into. Gwen as Diamondhead, however, lacks this weakness.
