Four Arms is the Omnitrix's DNA sample of a Tetramand from the planet Khoros.

Appearance

Ben as Four Arms

Four Arms is a humanoid alien that is approximately twelve feet tall, has well developed muscles, two pairs of four-fingered arms, and red skin. A 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, Four Arms wore a white T-shirt with a black line going down it, black pants, and fingerless gloves. He wore the Omnitrix symbol on his upper left shoulder. His eyes were yellow and he had no hair.

In Ultimate Alien, Four Arms wore gold wrist and ankle bands, and wore a black underwear that has a gold waistband, as well as two golden sashes that went across his chest. His eyes were green, he had a black ponytail, and he wore the Ultimatrix symbol on his chest.

10-year old Ben as Four Arms in Ultimate Alien looks exactly the same as his appearance in the Original Series, except his Omnitrix symbol is green instead of white.

In Heroes United, Four Arms, in addition to his clothes in Ultimate Alien, wore pants, fingerless gloves, and had tattoo-like stripes on his body, which were the same as the stripes of his shirt in original, giving him his original series look.

In Omniverse, Four Arms now has three short spikes on the top of his head, a mustache like design, and the black stripe on the top of his head is gone. He has no hair, he has a black tank top like shirt with one large green stripe in the middle, and black pants. He has a belt, where the Omnitrix symbol is located. He also has fingerless gloves like in the original series, with green cuffs at the wrist of his gloves. His skin is also lighter than it was in Ultimate Alien.

11-year-old Ben's Four Arms in Omniverse looks the same as the original series, but now has green eyes and the Omnitrix symbol on his shoulder is now green. In both his 11-year-old and 16-year-old incarnations, Four Arms now appears to have a second set of pectorals for his other set of arms.

Ben 10,000 as Four Arms

Four Arms had a better developed forehead, more muscle mass, a different T-shirt design and a pair of jutting incisors. Four Arms wore the Omnitrix symbol on his chest.

Gwen as Four Arms

Four Arms had darker skin, hair and clothes based on Gwen's, and lacked the vertical black stripe sported by Ben's version. Just like Ben, Gwen wore the Omnitrix symbol on her upper left shoulder.

Alpha as Four Arms

Four Arms looked roughly similar to Kevin's Tetramand mutation, only he had four arms rather than six. He had four red eyes, black hair, and black shorts. He wore a red fake Ultimatrix on his chest, and there were red lines spread across his body.

Powers and Abilities

Four Arms' most prominent ability is his enhanced strength, being able to lift several times his own weight and punch through various resilient materials with ease. Since Four Arms is one of Ben's strongest aliens in the original series, he relies on him the most when fighting large foes. His strength allows him to use anything heavy as a weapon, from big rocks he can throw several feet away, to beams and pillars that can be used as clubs. His great strength even extends to his jaws and bite, allowing him to bite metal and damage it. Four Arms become more stronger as he grow older, as according to 16 year old Ben in The Forge of Creation,

Four Arms can create strong shockwaves by clapping all four of his hands together (which he learned from Tini^{[pop-up 1][1]}) or slamming his fists on the ground.

Four Arms can jump several times his own height, at least seven stories up, in a single bound.^[2]

Four Arms has high durability due to his tough and thorny skin^{[pop-up 2][1]}, being almost fire and laser-proof.

Weaknesses

Four Arms' bulk sometimes is a disadvantage; all the extra muscle mass makes him relatively slower than other opponents, and his size, likewise, makes using things, or moving through areas designed for smaller species, difficult. He appeared to lack this weakness in Ultimate Alien, as he was noticeably slimmer and less bulky. His immense size also makes him an easy target for enemy attacks.

If under the effects of a cold, Four Arms' strength and stamina are severely reduced, his skin turns from red to a dark shade of orange, and he develops pungent hives in his armpits.^[3]
