Eye Guy (alternatively spelled as Eyeguy)[1] is the Omnitrix's DNA sample of an Opticoid from the planet Sightra.
Appearance
Eye Guy's upper-body is covered with green eyes, although he ironically has no eyes on his face, which consists of a mouth and a very large pair of bat-like ears. He has dark yellow skin with lighter yellow skin on his chest and feet.
In the original series, Eye Guy wore black pants with white circles on them and a white belt with the original Omnitrix symbol on it. His eyes had black pupils.
In Ultimate Alien, Eye Guy looked the same as before except he wore the Ultimatrix symbol on his chest.
In Omniverse, 16-year-old Eye Guy has bigger eyes, his pupils are recolored light green, the placements of his eyes are slightly different, and there are now eyes on his palms. His pants now have green belts replacing the white stripes, the main belt where the Omnitrix symbol is located is recolored green, and he also wears green cuffs.
11-year-old Eye Guy looks mostly the same as in the original series, except he has the palm eyes, different eye placement, and pupil color of his 16-year-old self, he wears white cuffs, and the Omnitrix symbol on his belt is recolored green.
Powers and Abilities
From any of the eyes on his torso, Eye Guy can launch green energy beams. In his youth, the energy beams were able to produce electrical currents that could overload and fry machinery.[2] As he gets older, the beams become straighter and lack electric traits.
Eye Guy's eyes can move throughout his body and merge to create different types of beams, such as merging three on his shoulder to fire a freeze ray that encases and immobilizes a target in ice on contact.[2] Eye Guy's eyes can shoot green fire blasts and sticky goop as well.
By closing all of his other eyes, or by merging all of his other eyes into that one area, a larger eye will open on Eye Guy's chest and from it, he can launch a powerful optic blast. While doing so, he can stretch his eye out of his chest and move it towards his target(s).[3]
Eye Guy's insect-like vision gives him 360-degree vision, making it extremely difficult to sneak up on him.[2] Furthermore, he can smell and see trails of certain chemicals with his vision, as shown when he was able to see the trail of Mr. Baumann's cologne.[4]
Eye Guy has enhanced hearing due to his large ears.
Eye Guy possesses enhanced strength.
Eye Guy is capable of performing acrobatic and gymnastic feats, as well as jumping several feet up.
Weaknesses
If an irritant gets in his eyes, Eye Guy will be unable to see clearly, in addition to his eyes burning. As he has eyes over the majority of his body, he is more vulnerable to being exposed and hurt by irritants. His eyes can be briefly blinded by Gracklflint venom.[5] However, he can quickly recover from irritants in his eyes and is only briefly hurt by them.
Eye Guy is sensitive to high-pitched noises, such as those of an Evolved Sonorosian's sonic disks.[6]
Eye Guy's insect-like vision becomes a weakness when he sees something or someone that he has a fear of, like Zombozo.[7]

Trivia
- In Omniverse, Eye Guy has a tendency to make puns involving the word "Eye".
- Eye Guy is the first alien to be unlocked off-screen. This trend would later be followed by Arctiguana, Spitter, Feedback, Fasttrack, Rocks, and Squidstrictor.
- Eye Guy's vision was initially all green,[5] but is portrayed differently later on.[7]
- 11-year-old Eye Guy replaces 11-year-old Feedback in the opening intro as of Omniverse's Arc 4, specifically in the part where the latter originally appeared alongside the 11-year-old versions of Four Arms, Grey Matter, and Wildmutt.
- Eye Guy is an allusion to a Mighty Morphin Power Rangers villain of the same name. Like Eye Guy, he has many eyes. The two characters share a basis from a character in Greek mythology known as Argus Panoptes who is often described as having one hundred eyes.
- The way Eye Guy has an eye on each hand is similar to Pale Man, a villain from the film Pan's Labyrinth.
- Eye Guy's skeleton is made of cartilage, not bones.[8]
- While Eye Guy's eye beams are green, 12-year-old Mutant Kevin's eye beams are colored red.[9]
- Eye Guy is the only alien used by Ben Prime and Ben 23 to share the same name. Feedback does not count because he was originally named "Plug Man".[11]
- This leads to Ben Prime admitting that the name is "pretty lame".[12]
