– Four Arms.[2] |
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 arms with four-fingered hands, 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. Four Arms wears a white T-shirt with a black line going down it, black pants, and gloves. His eyes are green and he has no hair. Four Arms wears the Omnitrix symbol on his chest.
As a toddler, Four Arms still looks the same but in smaller size, as well as having a younger voice.
In The Ring Leader, Four Arms takes on the fighting persona "The Crushster". He wears his regular outfit, but he also wears green-lensed goggles that hide his eyes, a yellow cape, and blue shorts over his pants. For majority of the episode, he hid two of his arms.
In Don't Laze Me, Bro, Four Arms wore a sleeveless pink bodysuit, dark purple gloves, and a green wig on his head. He also had two lime green star-shaped tattoos on his upper arms.
In Innervasion Part 3: Strange Bedfellows, the Omnitrix symbol was absent from Four Arms due to being used inside the Omnitrix.
In Crossover Nexus, Four Arms is depicted in the art style of OK K.O. Let's Be Heroes!. During the special, the Omnitrix is removed due to being blasted by Strike's pen.
In Welcome to Zombozo-Zone!, Four Arms wore armored shin guards, shoulder pads, wrist guards, and a helmet with a green feather.
Billy as Four Arms[]
Billy's Four Arms has four gold bracelets on his wrists, as well as a gold crest on the top of his head, replacing the black stripe. He wears shorts instead of jeans, and his collar is visible.
A Squirrel as Four Arms[]
Four Arms resembles the squirrel in its regular form, but it is much larger and has red fur. It has four red arms with thin, black forearms, along with a bushy tail. It wears a sleeveless white T-shirt with a vertical black stripe, along with black pants.
Gwen as Four Arms[]
Gwen's Four Arms looks similar to Ben's Four Arms, but she has a feminine build. She wears a light blue T-shirt with white sleeves and a black cat logo on the chest. There is no black stripe at the top of her head. She has a tuft of orange hair with a blue hairclip on her head.
In Ben Again and Again, Gwen's Four Arms wore the Omnitrix symbol on her chest.
In Ben Gen 10, Gwen's Four Arms lacks the Omnitrix symbol and her eyes glowed red due to being under Hex's control.
Ben 10,000 as Four Arms[]
Ben 10,000's Four Arms strongly resembles his younger counterpart, except his gloves do not cover the fingers, his skin is a darker shade of red, and he has a slightly thin mustache. He no longer has the black stripe on the top of his head between his eyes. He has a green line on each glove and his pants covers his toes. The Omnitrix symbol is on his chest.
Maximillian's Ben as Four Arms[]
Maximilian Tennyson's Ben as Four Arms resembles Ben 10,000's Four Arms, except he is missing some of his facial hair and his shirt and Omnitrix symbol are colored green.
Ben X as Four Arms[]
Ben X as Four Arms looks exactly the same as Four Arms.
Powers and Abilities[]
Four Arms' most prominent ability is his enhanced strength, being able to lift several times his own weight, punch through various resilient materials with ease, and (if necessary) detonate the Omnitrix by hitting it a certain number of times.[3]
Technically speaking, Four Arms is physically stronger than Appoplexians.[DR 1] Against all odds, he can overpower and send a Celestialsapien flying several feet with one punch.[3] This strength also allows him to easily scale walls[4] and use heavy objects as weapons, such as the trunk of a tree.[5]
Four Arms can create a sonic clap that is capable of creating shock waves[merch 1][merch 2] or redirecting gases that come his way.[6] He can also suppress fires by doing this.[7] Similarly, his punches can generate shock waves.[2] His immense strength allows Four Arms to cause earthquakes by punching the ground, either destabilizing the terrain[5] or forming a fissure.[8]
Four Arms possesses enhanced durability, and can resist high temperatures[9][merch 2] to a certain extent.[4]
Four Arms can jump several times his own height in a single bound.[6] He can even perform this while holding an extremely heavy object, such as a palm tree.[10]
Four Arms has enhanced agility and reflexes, being able to quickly navigate a water park and catch several plummeting guests respectively.[9] Considering his large build, Four Arms can run surprisingly fast[4] and is generally acrobatic, being able to land on his hands.[6]
Weaknesses[]
Four Arms' bulk sometimes is a disadvantage; all the extra muscle mass makes him relatively slower than other opponents. Likewise, his immense size makes him an easy target for enemy attacks and makes moving through areas designed for smaller species difficult.[11]
Four Arms is vulnerable to electricity.[12]
Four Arms can be hypnotized by Zombozo.[13]
Four Arms can be temporarily immobilized by Dark Matter's crystals.[14]
Unless he maintains his health as he ages, Four Arms' stamina will put him at a disadvantage. In turn, this will make him susceptible to back pain.[15]
