Four Arms is the Codon Stream's sample of a Tetramand (a play on the Latin "tetra," meaning "four", and "mand," meaning "arms") from Khoros. He is the sixth Omnitrix alien to appear on the series. He first appeared in Washington B.C. when Ben needed to fight the giant mammoth that Dr. Animo reanimated.

Appearance

Four Arms stands at approximately 12 feet in height, has very well developed muscles, two pairs of four-fingered arms, and the Omnitrix symbol on the upper-left shoulder and the Ultimatrix symbol is on his chest. His skin is bright red and very tough, as though it is armored. The black stubble stripe goes from the bridge of his nose to his neck. A second black stripe goes from his chin to his lower lip, and he has four eyes: a main pair, and a smaller pair below them. In the original series he wears a white t-shirt with a line going down it and black pants.

Powers and Abilities

Four Arms is a 12-foot-tall (3.7 m) four-armed, four-eyed powerhouse with armored skin and extremely dense musculature,making extremely strong. His strength is such that he can create shockwaves simply by pounding the ground or clapping all four of his hands together, dubbed the "Big Smack", and his leg strength allows him to cross entire city blocks in a single jump. He is also able to crawl up walls.

Weaknesses

Sometimes Four Arms' bulk is a disadvantage, all the extra mass of his muscles and heavy skin makes Four Arms relatively slow, and his size likewise makes using things designed for smaller species difficult, especially when enlarging them. When under the effects of an illness, Four Arms's strength and stamina are somewhat lessened and he develops pungent hives in his armpits.

Original Series

He was first used in Washington B.C., to fight off a giant mammoth that Dr. Animo reanimated. He tricked Gwen in The Krakken making him look like a monster, but later got attacked by the Krakken itself. He accidentally awakened a Megawhatt in Tourist Trap, by removing a giant string ball. He appeared in an accidental transformation in Kevin 11, when his DNA was infused with Kevin's,

He fought off some Stone Creatures in Lucky Girl. A sick Four Arms was used to battle Clancy in Side Effects, and accidentally knocked down Clancy's home. He later tore some of Vilgax's Drones apart in Secrets. He failed to defeat The Great One in The Big Tick. Kevin then used him to steal the Sumo Slammers 2.1 video game in Framed. Ben as Four Arms later fought Kevin as Diamondhead, Heatblast, Stinkfly, and finally, Kevin's first mutation. He later tried to fight Technorg in Grudge Match, but was stopped when Slix Vigma teleported him to the bridge. Tini fell in love with him in The Galactic Enforcers since she is a Tetramand as well. He was used in The Ultimate Weapon to fight Ah Puch and won. He was later used to fight Zs'Skayr possessing Acid Breath, Thumbskull, Frightwig and Gwen in Ghostfreaked Out. He was fused with Stinkfly as Stink Arms in Dr. Animo And The Mutant Ray. He was seen in a photo in Back With a Vengeance, surprising Gwen. He was used several times by Ben 10,000 in fighting off Animo in Ben 10,000. A video game Four Arms was played in Game Over, to duel an Ishiyama who believed him to be Kenko. He helped Kane North to a kangaroo superhero save some amusement park visitors in Super Alien Hero Buddy Adventures. He destroyed the Squires in The Unnaturals and he dueled and destroyed S.A.M. in Monster Weather. A dream Four Arms appeared in Perfect Day where he imprisoned the dream Vilgax in the Null Void. He wasthumb|262px|right|original transformation used in Don't Drink the Water as a baby to fight Hex. He was used twice in Ready to Rumble in order to gain money to replace Gwen's computer and won by defeating Porcupine and Gaterboy in a wrestling match. He was seen at the beginning of Ken 10 used by Ben 10,000 to take down Vulkanus and later to duel Kevin 11,000 and lost. He appeared in Ben 10 vs. the Negative 10 (Part 2) to battle the Negative 10.

Trivia

  • In Cartoon Network's online game Fusionfall, he has a nano made after him.
  • The black stripes on Four Arms' face in the original series have been converted into a small goatee and a ponytail in Ultimate Alien. In The Galactic Enforcers, Tini's hair was like Four Arms' with the stripe being the start of the hair.
  • It is shown in Ultimate Alien that Ben didn't know Four Arms was still in the Ultimatrix, seeing as when he fought Ssserpent for the second time in the series and transformed into him, he said, "Four Arms! Whoa, didn't even know that was still in there!".
  • In some of the episodes that he appeared in, he was mainly facing off against Dr. Animo.
  • Four Arms is the first alien with four arms; the second Spidermonkey, and the third is AmpFibian.
  • His Ultimate Alien appearance is similar to Kintaro and Goro from Mortal Kombat.
  • In the original series finale, a kid at Ben's school called him "Quad Hands."
  • In the animated series, Mad, Four Arms was the first alien transformed into by Benjamin Franklin. He was miscolored purple, had his original clothes, the original Omnitrix symbol, and Ben Franklin's hair and sleeve cuffs.
  • He is one of the eight aliens in the Ultimatrix (as well as Humungousaur, Armodrillo, and Rath) whose basic power is super strength.
  • In The Forge of Creation, Ben's 10 year old appearance was voiced by John DiMaggio instead of Richard McGonagle.
  • Four Arms has had the most voice actors of any alien.
  • His feet are similar to Ripjaws, Heatblast and Lodestar's feet.
  • When Ben had a cold, Four Arms turned orange and had stinky hives.
  • Strangely, when Ben tries to change into Four Arms, the Omnitrix seems to nearly always change into a different alien. Ben commented on this in The Return, (transforming instead into Cannonbolt), saying "Oh, man! What do you have against Four Arms?"
  • In Ben 10, Four Arms' hands have gloves on, but in Ultimate Alien he does not.
