+ | Frankenstrike has an appearance similar to the classic depiction of [[Wikipedia:Boris Karloff|Boris Karloff]]'s version of Victor Frankenstein's monster.

||
⚫ | In the [[Ben 10|original series]], Frankenstrike had a muscular body with a human nose, dark greyish yellow skin, a black mullet hairstyle with brown at the end, sideburns, and two tower-like conductor coils on his back. Frankenstrike wore black pants with lines on them, with a triangle dash in the middle, that glowed green. He had stitch-like lines on his arms (right arm: half of his shoulder and left arm: halfway from his glove). He had brown gloves with his fingers showing, and had three black and green bolts on his chest and one black bolt on each side of his neck, with all bolts having a green line on them. He had white lines on his waist that connect to the [[Omnitrix (Original)|original Omnitrix]] symbol like a belt clasp. |

⚫ | In '''[[Ben 10: Ultimate Alien|Ultimate Alien]]''', Frankenstrike's skin was completely grey, as were his gloves, tower-like wire coils and the bottom of his shoes. His belt was also grey and a grey hexagon was where the Omnitrix symbol used to be. The bolts were grey and had no green line on them. The [[Ultimatrix (Original)|Ultimatrix]] symbol replaced the top bolt in the triangular shape made by the placed bolts on his chest. |

⚫ | In '''[[Ben 10: Omniverse|Omniverse]]''', Frankenstrike's hair is now shorter, lacking bangs and a mullet, but still has evident sideburns. His skin has several uneven seams, combining grayish-yellow skin with darker grey skin. He also has large pink scars across his chest and right arm. He retains the bolts on his neck, but no longer has them on his chest; instead, he has one on each shoulder, elbow, and three in his back. The bolts are now bronze, and resemble a fathead screw with a green light in the crease. His belt is now green with white stripes, which have white bolts in them, and another bolt as a buckle. His turrets are now green with screws on them, and the coils are now white and feature green bulbs at the tips. His gauntlets are now green with bolts on their knuckles, his pants are now a greenish-black color, and his "boots" are now copper with three green slits in them. Frankenstrike's teeth are now yellowed and uneven, and bear out when he speaks. His [[Omnitrix (Omniverse)|Omnitrix]] symbol is embedded in the flesh of his right pectoral, with several deep scars protruding from where it resides. |

This article belongs to the Classic Continuity |
Frankenstrike, formerly known as Benvicktor, is the Omnitrix's DNA sample of a Transylian from the planet Anur Transyl in the Anur System.
Appearance
Ben as Frankenstrike
Frankenstrike has an appearance similar to the classic depiction of Boris Karloff's version of Victor Frankenstein's monster. The generators on his back aren't machines, but metallic-organic growths.[pop-up 1][1]
In the original series, Frankenstrike had a muscular body with a human nose, dark greyish yellow skin, a black mullet hairstyle with brown at the end, sideburns, and two tower-like conductor coils on his back. Frankenstrike wore black pants with lines on them, with a triangle dash in the middle, that glowed green. He had stitch-like lines on his arms (right arm: half of his shoulder and left arm: halfway from his glove). He had brown gloves with his fingers showing, and had three black and green bolts on his chest and one black bolt on each side of his neck, with all bolts having a green line on them. He had white lines on his waist that connect to the original Omnitrix symbol like a belt clasp.
In Ultimate Alien, Frankenstrike's skin was completely grey, as were his gloves, tower-like wire coils and the bottom of his shoes. His belt was also grey and a grey hexagon was where the Omnitrix symbol used to be. The bolts were grey and had no green line on them. The Ultimatrix symbol replaced the top bolt in the triangular shape made by the placed bolts on his chest.
In Omniverse, Frankenstrike's hair is now shorter, lacking bangs and a mullet, but still has evident sideburns. His skin has several uneven seams, combining grayish-yellow skin with darker grey skin. He also has large pink scars across his chest and right arm. He retains the bolts on his neck, but no longer has them on his chest; instead, he has one on each shoulder, elbow, and three in his back. The bolts are now bronze, and resemble a fathead screw with a green light in the crease. His belt is now green with white stripes, which have white bolts in them, and another bolt as a buckle. His turrets are now green with screws on them, and the coils are now white and feature green bulbs at the tips. His gauntlets are now green with bolts on their knuckles, his pants are now a greenish-black color, and his "boots" are now copper with three green slits in them. Frankenstrike's teeth are now yellowed and uneven, and bear out when he speaks. His Omnitrix symbol is embedded in the flesh of his right pectoral, with several deep scars protruding from where it resides.
Benzarro as Frankenstrike
Benzarro's Frankenstrike looks identical to Ben Prime's Frankenstike in Omniverse, except his skin is recolored to resemble Benzarro's and his eyes, back generators, bolts, belt, and Omnitrix symbol are recolored purple.
Powers and Abilities
Frankenstrike has an electromagnetic body with two conductor coils on his back that allow him to generate and manipulate green lightning and electromagnetism.
Frankenstrike can emit powerful lightning bolts and emit magnetism from his hands or his feet, allowing him to attach to metal structures.[1]
Frankenstrike can emit his lightning in the form of waves that can travel along flat surfaces.[2]
Frankenstrike possesses enhanced strength, as he was able to punch through the body of a Techadon robot as well as knock its arm off.[3] He also has enhanced durability, jumping, reflexes, and dexterity.
Frankenstrike can enhance his physical attacks by giving them an electrical charge.[4]
Frankenstrike is immune to the effects of Corrodium and can survive in the vacuum of space.[1]
Frankenstrike has a form of technokinesis by connecting himself to machines with his conductor coils to control them. He can do so with his electricity as well.
Frankenstrike is resistant against extreme heat, as demonstrated by Viktor.[5]
Weaknesses
Frankenstrike can be harmed by the impact of another Transylian's electrical attacks, as shown when he blasted Dr. Viktor with a charge strong enough to send him flying into a Null Void portal.[1]
The two generators on Frankenstrike's shoulders are the source of his electricity, which means opponents like Phil can absorb his electricity through them.[4]
Frakenstrike is unable to fit through small or tight spaces.[2][6]
Like any other organic being, Frankenstrike can be banished to another timeline by a Chronosapien.[7]
Frankenstrike can be controlled and hypnotized by Vladats via their Corrupturas, as demonstrated by Viktor and many other Transylian residents of Anur Transyl.[8]
History
Ben 10
- Frankenstrike first appeared in Be Afraid of the Dark, where he was unlocked when Viktor touched the Omnitrix and battled the latter, as well as Zs'Skayr and the Mummy, on the exterior of the space station until Max destroyed the projector. When Viktor opened a portal to the Null Void that sucked in the Mummy, Frankenstrike sent Viktor into his own portal before it closed.

Etymology
His placeholder name, Benviktor, is a combination of "Ben" and "Vicktor".
The name Frankenstrike is a combo of the name of Frankenstein, referencing his appearance, and the word "strike", as in a lightning strike, which alludes to his electrokinetic abilities.
Trivia
- Fraknenstrike was never officially named by Ben; the name "Benvicktor" was assigned to him by the credits during the original series.
- Therefore, Frankenstrike is one of the four aliens whose working name had Ben's name in it; the other three being Blitzwolfer, Snare-oh and Nanomech.
- In Omniverse, the placeholder name "Benvicktor" was replaced with Frankenstrike. In fact, Ben came up with Frankenstrike's name when he was 11 years old.[DJW 1]
- Though Viktor is a scientific genius, hyper-intelligence is not a common trait among Transylians, which means that Ben does not become any smarter as Frankenstrike.[DJW 2]
- There is a common misconception that Viktor was the DNA source for Frankenstrike, but this is not true, as Transylian DNA was already present in the Omnitrix and Ben just misunderstood what the device was doing when it "sampled" Viktor's DNA.[DM 1]
- From Arc 4 of Omniverse onward, Frankenstrike replaces Gravattack in the opening intro of the show. He also replaces Shocksquatch in the opening intro of Arc 5.
- Frankenstrike's appearance is based off of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein's monster.
- When Frankenstrike finishes his transformation, he often slams his forearms together in a manner reminiscent to Hanna-Barbera's Frankenstein Jr.
- Similar to Arctiguana, Snare-oh, Murk Upchuck and Buzzshock, Frankenstrike appeared in Omniverse, but he did not appear in A New Dawn.
- Frankenstrike is one of five aliens featured in Omniverse who generate green electricity; the others being Upgrade, Buzzshock, Brainstorm, and Nanomech. Unlike the others, however, Frankenstrike's bio-electricity discharge is naturally colored green for other Transylians.[1][pop-up 2]
- Benzarro's Frankenstrike's electricity is colored purple,[2][7] much like Viktor.
- Lightning Volt's electricity is colored blue.[9]
