Hey! Why don't you pick on someone with real firepower?

– Heatblast while fighting Vilgax's Mechadroids.[4]

Heatblast (alternatively spelled as Heat Blast)[credits 1][5] is the Omnitrix's DNA sample of a Pyronite[6][5] from the star Pyros.[Bandai 1]

Appearance[]

Ben as Heatblast[]

Heatblast is a plasma-based life-form humanoid alien whose body is composed of a super hot inner plasma body covered by dark reddish brown volcanic rocks.[pop-up 1][1] He is seven feet tall.[CN 1] As a fire-based entity, his body radiates high amounts of heat. His feet have a slight oval-like design with only two toes and one back toe and he has somewhat large hands with bridged wrists. His tongue is also made of fire[7] while his collarbone resembles a volcano which generates a fiery hair-like aura that covers his head, leaving his mask-like face visible with no nose, ears, or pupils.

When under the effects of a cold in Side Effects, Heatblast's fiery skin (excluding his rocky body) turned blue.

In Back With a Vengeance, Heatblast wore a yellow raincoat.

4-year-old Heatblast looked the same as 10-year-old Heatblast did in the Original Series, but with a much smaller and thinner body, as well as an oversized head.

In Destroy All Aliens, Heatblast looks the same as he did in the Original Series, except his plasma body glows brighter, and emits movement, similar to the Sun. The rocks show small but noticeable cracks around him, much like other minerals.

In Race Against Time, Heatblast had less fire on his head and most of his head was exposed. His stone skin gained cracks of yellow glow and his plates were further apart, exposing almost parts of his plasma body. The Omnitrix symbol appeared to be embedded in his chest.

In Ultimate Alien, Heatblast closely resembled Alan Albright, only taller, not as skinny, slightly altered and his face shape was more similar to the Original Series. His eyes were no longer connected to the fire on his head. The rocks over his body changed, with a burnt black color and red markings on every edge of his rocky skin, resembling charcoal and his plasma body is a lighter shade of yellow.

In Heroes United, Heatblast looked the exact same as he did in the Original Series, only his jaw was a lot lower than it was before.

In The Forge of Creation, 10-year-old Heatblast's appearance is a mix between the Ultimate Alien design and the Original Series' body color. Also, his Omnitrix symbol was green.

In Omniverse, Heatblast looks the same as he did in Ultimate Alien, only his eyes are once again connected to the fire on his head, like in the Original Series. He is taller and more muscular, his face's design is different, and his shoulder plates are slightly tilted up. His feet are also redesigned. 16, 10, and 11-year-old Heatblast share the exact same design with the exception of the ring around the Omnitrix symbol, which is silver in the 11-year-old version and white in the 16-year-old version.

When put out by water, Heatblast's plasma body was a maroon color. His rocky skin is a darker shade of red, almost pink. The flame exposes his head. However, he is enveloped by a faint rising steam.

Heatblast wears the original Omnitrix/Ultimatrix/Omnitrix symbol on his chest.

Kevin as Heatblast[]

Kevin's Heatblast looked the exact same as Ben's did in the Original Series, albeit he had paler skin and lacked an Omnitrix symbol.

Gwen as Heatblast[]

Gwen's Heatblast was leaner, her chest was larger, and her face was longer and more curved. Her forearms were considerably skinnier than Ben's Heatblast.

Ben 10,000 as Heatblast[]

Ben 10,000's Heatblast looked similar to his younger self's, but he sported two miniature volcanoes on his shoulders and had a more muscular build.

Powers and Abilities[]

I'm fresh out of tanks, your Highney! But I am bringing the heat!

– Heatblast to King Viktor.[8]

Heatblast is one of Ben's most versatile transformations, having the power of pyrokinesis, meaning that he can create and influence the direction and form of fire. Heatblast can project streams of fire from his hands and mouth,[7] and can create fireballs he can throw or roll. He can also absorb both flames and heat, meaning that he can put out a fire just as quickly as he can start one.[9][10][11][CN 2] Additionally, Heatblast can enhance the power of his punches by coating his fists in fire,[4][8] and can ignite his opponents or objects by touch[12] or remotely, as seen when he set Gwen's shoe on fire.[1]

Heatblast's fire can burn hot enough to melt solid rock,[13] a tank,[8] and a road.[4] Heatblast can also use his fire in more creative ways, such as welding clumps of objects together[14][15] or making fireworks, as demonstrated by Gwen as Heatblast.[16] Additionally, he can spark fire fuses by snapping his fingers.[14]

Heatblast is capable of projecting fire lasers, which he utilized to create an opening in the wall of a building.[9] Heatblast can also form large fireballs that function as bombs, which he used to destroy a planetarium that the Sparksville Nosedeenians were possessing.[7]

Heatblast can create large pillars and vortexes of fire, which he can use to transport himself and civilians without burning them,[DR 1] as shown when he saved a boy and his mother from a burning building;[9] transported himself on top of a subway train;[17] and when he transported Kangaroo Kommando down to safety.[10]

Heatblast can create constructs composed of fire, such as crescent-shaped weapons (referred to as "Fire Moons")[PoE 1] that can be used to effortlessly slice through objects, such as several of Vilgax's Mechadroids;[4] a fire dagger, which was used to slice through parts of S.A.M.'s water form;[18] and fire disks that explode on contact.[3]

Heatblast is capable of greatly amplifying the heat he gives off, which he used to melt out of Vilgax's electrical net;[4] solidify Lenopans;[19] and flash vaporize the Fountain of Youth, while also destroying a large portion of the cave he was in. The latter example was done by a 4-year-old Heatblast having a temper tantrum.[20]

Heatblast can create a small fire-board on which he can ride at high speeds.[7] On this board, Heatblast can continuously circle his opponents to increase the temperature of his flames exponentially, as demonstrated when he used this technique to vaporize S.A.M.'s water form.[18] After decent amount of practice, Heatblast is now capable of high-speed flight by propelling himself forward in the air.[4][5][21][22][23] Additionally, Heatblast can fly by coating his entire body with fire, as demonstrated by Alan.[24]

Heatblast has the power of terrakinesis, meaning he can control earth. Heatblast can raise chunks of stone out of the ground to simply levitate above the ground, or to soar through the air.[8][25][26][12] This was first demonstrated when Ben taught Alan how to master his own flying abilities.[24]

Heatblast has enhanced strength, enough to hold his own against Viktor.[8] He was also able to lift debris of a building; rip off and buckle down the door of a car;[9] and stop a Wooden Bell from rolling, which was said to weigh heavier than 3,000 pounds.[27][23]

Heatblast has enhanced durability, being able to survive getting thrown through multiple buildings at high speed by Vilgax with no damage.[4] Heatblast was able to take multiple laser blasts from Malware[25] and Rojo.[14]

Heatblast is capable of jumping exceptionally high.[28][8]

Heatblast can use his powers underwater, but at a lower intensity. Ironically, he can even breathe underwater despite being a fire-based alien.[11]

Heatblast is immune to fire.[9] However, Heatblast has been shown to be hurt by the force of a fire attack.[17]

Heatblast is immune to being controlled by a Vladat via their Corruptura, as he can burn them off his body with a small flare.[DJW 1]

Heatblast is resistant to being frozen within ice thanks to the high temperature he naturally produces, allowing him to thaw his way out of ice, such as ice created by an Evolved Necrofriggian's ice-flames.[29] Heatblast is also resistant to radiation, as demonstrated when NRG shot him with a radioactive blast.[28]

Due to being made of plasma and being constantly on fire, Heatblast glows in the dark like a candle.[17][21]

Heatblast is capable of generating smoke, as demonstrated when he created a large cloud to psych out the Nosedeenians before they were able to get to him.[7] He can also smack a body of water in order to create an offensive cloud of steam.[30]

When infected with a cold, Heatblast's powers are completely inverted, making his pyrokinesis becoming cryokinesis (the ability to create and control ice), and he is constructed of icy fire rather than regular fire. While in this state, he could shoot blasts of ice from his hands that could freeze and cool down a nuclear reactor, and create blue "ice-fire" balls to encase and trap his opponents in.[31]

Weaknesses[]

Can't really fight fire with fire in this case.

– Heatblast upon seeing Crabdozer being immune to fire.[23]

Heatblast's fire attacks are ineffective against anything fireproof or capable of drawing strength from heat, such as Limax,[32] Tetramands, Petrosapiens[2][12] Vaxasaurians,[33] and especially Crabdozers,[23] and weapons and/or armor made from the latter's DNA.[34]

Because of his fiery body, on occasion, Heatblast cannot touch or hold anything in his hands without burning or melting it. He is also prone to burning where he sits[9] or accidentally leaving scorch mark footprints on certain floors.[5] Similarly, if Heatblast isn't careful, he may cause a fire that will accidentally go out of control and spread in certain areas.[1]

If exposed to enough water,[35][11] wind[36][37] or fire-extinguishing substances (such as a fire extinguisher),[1] Heatblast's fire will be extinguished, though he can usually still reignite his flames almost instantly.[11]

Being a Pyronite, Heatblast is at a massive disadvantage against a Crabdozer due to their fireproof skin and fire-suppressant saliva.[38][39]

Heatblast can get dizzy by flying around in a continuous circle at extremely high speeds.[18]

Heatblast is vulnerable to an Aerophibian's neuroshock blasts, as demonstrated by Alan.[24][40]

Despite his Corruptura immunity, Heatblast can still be controlled by Corruptura unless they are burned off his body.[DJW 1]

Despite having a body made of fire and resisting ice, Heatblast can still be rendered immobile by ice until he melts it off.[29][5]

Heatblast cannot survive in the vacuum of space.[DR 2]

When under the effects of a cold, Heatblast's pyrokinesis is replaced with cryokinesis. Despite the new powers this gives him, Heatblast works completely "nonfunctional" to his fiery nature and the cold still prejudiced his health.[31]
