Giant-Manster[1][2] is the Hero Watch's DNA sample of a To'kustar,[MW 1] a race of ultra-rare,[pop-up 1][3] gigantic aliens that are created during unpredictable cosmic storms.[AF Mini Bible 1][pop-up 2][3]
Powers and Abilities[]
Giant-Manster can shoot a powerful cosmic ray[DM 1] from the outer edge of his right hand by crossing his arms together. His cosmic rays are powerful enough to overpower the Incursean Conquest Ray.[4]
Giant-Manster is very strong, being able to hurl targets into orbits from planets with an atmosphere as thick as Earth's,[MW 2] as shown when Way Big threw Vilgax (who was Way Big's size at the time) into orbit from Primus.[5] He can even lift objects larger and heavier than him, as Way Big managed to lift the Hyperspace Jump Gate.[6] Giant-Manster is also powerful enough to destroy a small planet.[JK 1]
Giant-Manster has great durability, as Way Big was able to withstand attacks from strong opponents his size, such as the Trash Monster,[7] a giant Trombipulor,[8] a giant Malware[9] and several Way Bads.[4]
Giant-Manster can jump very high.[9] He also has extremely quick reflexes, as Way Big was able to react to Milleous' Incursean Conquest Ray.[4]
Giant-Manster possesses enhanced speed, as Way Big was able to run fast enough to generate a massive vortex that was powerful enough to launch the Trash Monster out of orbit.[7][note 1] Giant-Manster also has a massive stride, so he can get to his destination quicker than other aliens.[DJW 2]
Due to the nature of his species' creation, Giant-Manster can survive in the vacuum of space.[pop-up 2][10]
Weaknesses[]
The frill on Giant-Manster's head is by far his greatest weakness, as attacking it will cause him great pain and stun him.[11][12]
Because of Giant-Manster's massive size, Ben 23 can be clumsy with his surroundings and accidentally cause property damage, as shown when he accidentally crushed a local smoothie store.[1][2]
Smaller opponents such as Nanomech can take advantage of Giant-Manster's large size and attack him without noticing, as demonstrated when Nanomech entered Way Big's ear and began attacking him from inside, immediately incapacitating him.[13]
Giant-Manster is vulnerable to powerful discharges of electricity, such as that of the Mechamorph Armor and the Hyperspace Jump Gate.[12][6]
Giant-Manster can be rendered unconscious if hit by many sedative quills from a member of Argit's species.[4]
Giant-Manster can be controlled by Vladats via their Corrupturas.[DJW 3]
History[]
In Store 23, Giant-Manster was mentioned when Ben 23 brought up a time he "accidentally" crushed a local smoothie store as him.
Etymology[]
Giant-Manster is a pun on "Giant Monster" and "Man".

Trivia[]
- Artwork of Giant-Manster was made on a livestream with Derrick J. Wyatt and Josh Perez in 2020.[DJW 4] It can be found in the gallery.
Notes[]
- ↑ Derrick J. Wyatt stated that Way Big's enhanced speed was due to a glitch with the original Ultimatrix. This ability was removed from Way Big's DNA when Ben acquired the new Omnitrix in The Ultimate Enemy: Part 2.[DJW 1] However, it is unknown if this is canon as Matt Wayne seemed to be unaware of the existence of glitch powers.[MW 3]
