Lodestar (the word for the Polar Star) is a Biosovortian. His planet is currently unknown but is belived to be Polintia III (Or something along those lines, phonetics based upon mumbles by the vreedles when they see him). He was known to be the "Unknown Omnitrix Alien" from the very end of War of the Worlds: Part 2 when the Omnitrix was rebooted from the DNA wave, but made his real appearance in Simple.
Appearance
Lodestar has a floating metal head which rests between his shoulders; has crab like claws for hands and his body is mainly black with yellow feet, hands, shoulders and chest. His head is somewhat like the floating disk over Goop's head, as wherever his head goes, his body follows as shown in Video Games. Lodestar has crab like claws for hands just like the claws on his feet. The Ultimatrix sign is on his chest.

Abilities
Lodestar has magnetic powers, as shown in the episode Simple. Lodestar has the ability to increase his magnetic powers, overload electric circuits, and tear away metal. Lodestar also has the ability to magnetize any metal object. He has super strength as shown in the Ultimate Alien episode Video Games when he grabs Will Harangue's robot's legs. In Vendetta it was revealed that he can also use magnetism waves as attacks. Also in th
e episode Busy Box, it is also shown that he can emit magnetic pulses. In Ultimate Aggregor, he uses his abilities to fly into Aggregor's ship. After the ship explodes, he was assumed dead but used his abilities to pull his parts back together. In the same episode, it is shown he can create electromagnetic force fields around himself similar to Gwen's mana shields.
Ultimate Alien
Lodestar made a brief appearance in the Ben 10: Ultimate Alien episode, Duped, defeating a new villain named King Urian and the Toltech Battle Armor. He also appeared in Video Games, being defeated by Will Harangue's robot, because the robot was not made of ferrous metal. He then appeared in "Ultimate Aggregor" taking on Aggregor's Drones to stop Aggregor from becoming Ultimate Aggregor. But he blew up because it was a trap, but then regenerated.
