Gaterboy[note 1] is a pro-wrestler and is the brother of Porcupine.
Appearance[]
Gaterboy looks like a giant, bipedal alligator. He is one and a half times bigger than an ordinary human. He has dark green skin with spikes on his arms, tail and lower jaw. He is incredibly muscular as his arms are just as big as an adult human. He has a stubby, yet long tail and giant pectoral muscles. For the size of his body, he has an unusually small head. He has red, pupil-less eyes with black outlines and sharp, yellow teeth. He wears a moderate yellow wrestling suit with a black belt that has a golden "G" on it, referring to his name. He has black boots and armbands.
Prior to his fight with Four Arms, Gaterboy wore a black robe.
History[]
Background[]
He had, through unknown methods, gained animalistic attributes as suggested by his name (it is hinted to be genetic).
Ben 10[]
Gaterboy first appears in Ready to Rumble with his brother, Porcupine. They became involved with an organized crime lord named Mr. Beck, and were forced to compete in the underground wrestling matches in order to obtain the needed money to save their mother and their farm. After Ben (as Four Arms) won the competition, he ended up aiding them to save their mother and turned over the prize money. Their mother was kidnapped by a criminal and the brothers and Ben went to the rescue. Ben saved the mother as Ditto and defeated Beck by using his size against him.
Powers and Abilities[]
As a wrestler, Gaterboy is a skilled fighter who almost beat Ben as Four Arms, but not without Porcupine's help. He has enhanced strength, durability, sharp claws, and teeth.

- ↑ Although the first part of his name comes from "alligator", his name is spelled "Gaterboy" as opposed to "Gatorboy", according to the end credits of Ready to Rumble[credits 1][1] and closed captions on Max. However, his name was spelled "Gatorboy" in the closed captions on the Ben 10: The Complete Season 4 DVD.[captions 1][DVD 1]
