“	Nice 'stache, bro...	”
– Fistrick complimenting Mole-Stache.

Mole-Stache is the Omnitrix's DNA sample of an unknown species from an unknown planet.

Appearance

Mole-Stache is a rodentoid alien with a green and black jumpsuit in which his ears stick out and also has a pair of white gloves. He has a big blonde mustache and beaver-like teeth, as well as a slight potbelly. He also wears a green and white belt in which the Omnitrix symbol is located.

1/7

Mole-Stache's mustache is free-forming and about as maneuverable as any limb, able to stretch and form itself into a variety of shapes. While doing so, he can perform with it feats like wrapping enemies up, forming hands, catching drafts, and carrying himself around. It can also be used as a parachute or propellers.

Mole-Stache appears to have skill in hand-to-hand combat with the mustache, as he easily defeated Fistrick with it.

Mole-Stache can fly by twirling his mustache around like a helicopter.

Mole-Stache's mustache is strong enough to lift a truck and a tree. On his own and despite his small size, however, Mole-Stache is strong enough to carry a Revonnahgander with his bare hands while flying and without any trouble.

If Mole-Stache's mustache is cut or shaved off, it would quickly regenerate.

Non-Canon Powers and Abilities

Mole-Stache can dig into hard surfaces, much like a real mole.

Mole-Stache's name is a portmanteau of the words "mole", referring his appearance, and "mustache", which alludes to his ability to fight with his malleable mustache.

Trivia

• The design for Mole-Stache came from Jerry, drawn by Steven Choi or Chap Yaep.
• In his first appearance, Mole-Stache shared the same voice as Ben due to the Omnitrix malfunctioning. The out-of-universe reason for this was because the crew originally did not envision him as a usable alien for later episodes.
  • Mole-Stache's voice was eventually changed to a British accent in Breakpoint because the crew liked how he turned out. Mole-Stache speaks with this accent because the British are stereotyped as behaving gentlemanly.
• Mole-Stache is one of four aliens unlocked by Driba and Blukic; the other three being Walkatrout, Pesky Dust, and The Worst.
• Ben 23 does not have an alternate counterpart to Mole-Stache in his Omnitrix.
• Mole-Stache was initially planned to appear in No Honor Among Bros, where he would master his powers during a fight with Yetta, but the scene had to be cut for time.
• Albedo is unable to transform into Mole-Stache.
• There were no plans to feature Mole-Stache in the reboot because the crew envisioned him as being only being exclusive to the Ben 10: Omni-Charged game based on the show.
  • PHL Collective requested for Mole-Stache's inclusion in Omni-Charged, partially because he worked well with the VR mechanics for the game.
