(The heat and fire he creates from his body is hot enough to melt surfaces, such as the ground, which can make people sink into it like quicksand.) |

Heatblast is the Omnitrix's DNA sample of a Pyronite from the planet-like star Pyros.
Appearance
Ben as Heatblast
Heatblast is a magma-based lifeform whose body is composed of a bright yellow inner magma body covered by a dark red or brown rocks. 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. His tongue is also made of fire.[1]
When under the effects of a cold in Side Effects, Heatblast's body and flames 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 Ultimate Alien, Heatblast closely resembled Alan, 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 were darker, and their pattern was different, with fewer rocks covering his inner lava body.
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.
10/11-year-old Heatblast in Omniverse looks exactly the same as his 16-year-old self, except for the fact that he is shorter and much less muscular than his sixteen-year-old self.
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.
Alpha as Heatblast
Alpha as Heatblast looked roughly similar to Ben 10,000's Heatblast, only his head was more monstrous, his hands and feet were animalistic, his chest had an opening, and there was a tail-like attachment on his back. He wore a red fake Ultimatrix symbol on his chest.
Powers and Abilities
Being one of Ben's most versatile alien forms, Heatblast is a pyrokinetic, meaning he has the ability to generate and manipulate intense heat and fire from his body. He can form fire into any shape that he chooses, commonly fireballs. He can also enhance the fire in his hands for flaming punches,[2] and can breathe fire like a dragon.[1] To top it all off, he can even absorb heat and fire at the same time.[3][4] This means he can put out a fire faster than he can start one.
Heatblast's fire can become hot enough to melt a tank[5] or a road, as he almost buried Vilgax in boiling tar when he was younger.[2] Several years later, Heatblast was able to bury him in the ground up to his shoulders.[6]
Heatblast can make his flames explosive, explaining why his fire tended to cause explosions on a regular basis. On that note, he can even create fire uses with the snap of his fingers.[7] He can also create sharp fire-made disks and throw them as slicing weapons, as seen when he battled a swarm of Vilgax's Drones.[2]
When 4-year-old Heatblast had a temper tantrum his firepower was greatly magnified to the point that Gwen called it "supernova-hot" and the heat was so extreme that it flash vaporized the Fountain of Youth and destroyed a large portion of the cave they were in.[8]
Heatblast can create a small fireboard on which he can ride at high speeds by launching fire backwards like an engine. On this board, he has enough skill to ride in a continuous circle.[9] After several years of practice, Heatblast is now capable of high-speed flight by propelling himself forward.
Heatblast is able to teleport by producing a fiery tornado around himself, as shown when he avoided getting hit by a subway train and appeared again on top of it.[10]
Since he is made of fire and charcoal, Heatblast is fireproof, heat resistant, and invulnerable to magma. He is also cold resistant and ice proof thanks to the heat he produces.
Heatblast is capable of limited terrakinesis by channeling fire through the ground.[DM 1] One result of this capability is the ability to surf through the air on a board of rock;[5][11][12][13] this ability was made known when Ben taught Alan how to do this so the latter could learn to master his own flying abilities.[14]
Heatblast has enhanced strength and durability, enough to hold his own with his fists against Viktor, making the latter stumble several steps backwards.[5] He can also survive being thrown through multiple buildings at high speed by Vilgax with no damage,[2] as well as Malware's laser blasts.[15]
Heatblast is capable of jumping exceptionally high.[16]
Heatblast can swim and use his powers underwater, but with a very low intensity. Ironically, he can even breathe underwater despite being a fire-based alien.[4]
When infected with a cold, Heatblast's powers are completely inverted, making his pyrokinesis becoming cryokinesis, and he is constructed of icy fire rather than regular fire.[17]
Weaknesses
If exposed to enough water or fire-extinguishing substances, Heatblast's fire will be extinguished, though he can still heat up and reignite his fire in short amounts of time.
As mentioned above, when under the effects of a cold, Heatblast's pyrokinesis is replaced with cryokinesis (the ability to create and control cold and ice). Despite these new powers, Heatblast works completely "nonfunctional" to his fiery nature and the cold still prejudiced his health, meaning that it's still technically a "weakness", but not totally since it never exactly slowed Heatblast down (albeit taking a while to master it).[17]
If Heatblast isn't careful, he may cause a fire that will accidentally go out of control in certain areas and will not be able to stop it.
Because of his fiery hands, Heatblast cannot hold anything without burning or melting it. Similarly due to his feet being made of fire, Heatblast can leave scorch mark footprints on certain floors.[18]
Heatblast's fire attacks are useless against anything diamond-related, such as Petrosapiens.[19]
Being a Pyronite, Heatblast's fire attacks are especially useless against his natural predator, the Crabdozer.[20][21][22] The same thing applies to weapons and/or armor made from Crabdozer DNA.[23]
Heatblast is vulnerable to the telekinetic abilities of a Uxorite[24] and a Celestialsapien, the latter of which has been demonstrated with Alan.[25]
Heatblast can be paralyzed by an Aerophibian's neuroshock blasts, as also demonstrated with Alan.[14]
