Lodestar is the Omnitrix's DNA sample of a Biosovortian from an unknown planet.

Appearance

Lodestar has a magnetically floating metal head surrounded by a glowing white aura and levitates in an arch between his shoulders. He has crab-like claws for hands and his body is mainly black with yellow feet, hands, shoulders, and chest. His mouth rarely moves, even when he's talking.

In Omniverse, Lodestar has a yellow eyebrow-like crest on his forehead, his head is more skull-shaped with has lines beneath his mouth. His mouth now moves when he talks. The glowing aura around his head is recolored green, the yellow from his feet go up to his thighs, his shoulders are bigger, and the yellow stripes by his chest are shorter.

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

Powers and Abilities

Lodestar is able to project magnetic fields that are capable of overloading electrical circuits and can attract magnetic materials to himself. He can also emit magnetic pulses that allow him to magnetize any ferromagnetic metals (iron, nickel, cobalt, and gallium), causing objects he magnetizes to attract everything magnetic to fly and collide with the target. As such, he has telekinetic control over metal, allowing him to levitate and move it around without physical contact.

Lodestar can generate a green magnetic force field that protects him from most ballistic attacks.[3]

If he gets destroyed, he can regenerate by pulling his shattered pieces back together with his magnetism.[3]

Lodestar can levitate and fly.

Lodestar possesses enhanced durability, as he was able to withstand being hurt by the red troops' laser blasts (although it still caused him discomfort)[4] and the Forever Ninja's throwing stars.[5]

Lodestar possesses enhanced strength, as he was able to briefly grapple with the Stalker but with some difficulty.[6]

Weaknesses

Despite being disconnected from his body, Lodestar's head is magnetically bonded to it. Wherever his head goes, his body follows.[6] As such, Lodestar's head can be knocked away from his body, leaving it blind, helpless and unable to reconnect with the head.[7]

Lodestar's powers are useless against non-metallic objects such as the Forever Ninja's throwing stars.[5]

Ben 10 Alien Force: The Rise of Hex

Being the main alien and the replacement for Alien X, Lodestar is a playable alien in the game.

Due to the Omnitrix sorting out after Ben fiddled with it, Lodestar was temporarily locked. Lodestar was reunlocked at the beginning of Level 7.

Lodestar is able to magnetically attract himself to metallic emblems embedded on the walls of the temple and catacombs underneath Bellwood. He can increase his altitude, move across considerable distances and slow his descent to avoid potential hazards.

Throughout the game, Lodestar strangely interacts with 15 mystic talismans. Because of this, he is the only alien form capable of defeating Hex, destroying all but one talisman to weaken the otherwise invincible foe. Lodestar uses the remaining talisman to trap Hex inside it.
