Hail-O is a villain robot who first appeared in Riding the Storm Out and a member of the Weatherheads.
Appearance[]
Hail is robotic in appearance and resembles a bulky businessmen with white shirt and dark blue colored tie. His head resembles a skull and he has orange eyes.
Personality[]
Just like the other Weatherheads, Hail-O has a tendency to remark that he has no emotions, yet it is clear that he is programmed to have them, as seen with a 'on/off' button for his emotions. This can be exploited, as he was tricked by Ben into fighting with the other Weatherheads. However, they all fear failing their leader Sunny.
When his emotions are turned on, Hail-O becomes moody, cynical, whiny, and depressed, prone to crying fits and talking about everyone's insignificance in the universe.[1]
History[]
Ben 10[]
Hail-O debuted alongside his fellow Weatherheads in Riding the Storm Out, where they planned to create a planetary storm using their technology. He and the others terrorized Pikes Peak, where they were met by Ben. Though they initially defeated him as Grey Arms, the three failed to contain their laughter in the face of Amalgam Ben, and he tricked them into destroying their own machine. With the storm ended, they swore their revenge.
In The 11th Alien: Part 2, Hail-O and the other Weatherheads were convinced by Vilgax to use their powers to trick Ben into thinking that his Omni-Enhanced Forms and later Shock Rock were a danger to the Earth. Gwen eventually discovered they were behind the weather, and they revealed themselves (albeit in denial about the plan). Fearing Shock Rock's power, the Weatherheads combined into a singular, more powerful robot. However, they accidentally powered-up Shock Rock, allowing him to defeat both them and Vilgax.
In The Feels, Hail-O and the other Weatherheads attacked a town celebrating the holidays, as to replenish their batteries' energy. Though the threes' attack left the town in ruins, the townspeople were happy regardless, in turn causing the Weatherheads to malfunction and short-circuit. Once they recovered, they tried to attack the town once more, but they only managed to make the situation better by accidentally cleaning, decorating, and powering the town. After Shock Rock tried to give a gift to Shock-O, his head broke off, and Gust-O and Hail-O carried his limp body elsewhere.
In Beach Heads, Hail-O and the other Weatherheads went to a beach, where they set up a giant solar battery, which would help them take over the world. After a fight with Diamondhead, the three were met by Myra and Harold, who insisted that they relax. Ben returned to steal a part of their machine, and fought them as Cannonbolt. They retrieved the part, only to find that Gwen and Max destroyed the battery. Cannonbolt then splattered sunblock on them, and due to their low power, they finally relaxed.
In Heat of the Moment, after suffering another defeat the hands of Ben, Hail-O and the other Weatherheads were met by Kevin, who convinced them to turn off their emotion inhibitors. They returned to Ben, with Hail-O now having a whiney persona. Though they did give him trouble, the three eventually started fighting amongst themselves. He then pointed out their new human-like qualities, causing them to turn the inhibitors back on, and turned on Kevin, chasing him away.
In Mud on the Run Hail-O and the other Weatherheads set up an obstacle course to track human emotions. Ben and Gwen eventually discovered their scheme, and Hail-O caused an avalanche on a hill, which was stopped by Omni-Kix Diamondhead. Omni-Kix Diamondhead then defeated them, and was met by the threes' superior, Sunny. They were taken back to where they came from by her.
In Wind Some, Lose Some, Hail-O and the other Weatherheads set up a recharge station for Sunny, powered by a wind farm. Upon finding out that Ben was on the premises, Hail-O and Shock-O took to defeating him, though their attempts failed. Once Sunny was recharged, she ordered the three to attack him, and they re-fused once more. However, they collided with the blade of a wind turbine, and fell apart.
Powers and Abilities[]
Hail-O controls water and ice, allowing him to cause torrents of water to fall from the sky, unleash streams of water from his eyes or hands, and fire shards of ice like a machine gun.
Weaknesses[]
Hail-O's denial of his own emotions can easily be exploited by the Weatherheads' enemies.
In the event that the Weatherheads perform acts that generate positive emotions, Hail-O will malfunction and shut down.[2]
Being a robot, his battery can run low. In order to recharge, he needs solar energy.[3]
