NRG

This article belongs to the Classic Continuity.

NRG is the Omnitrix's DNA sample of a Prypiatosian-B from the planet Prypiatos in the Andromeda Galaxy.

Appearance

Ben as NRG

In Ultimate Alien, NRG was a humanoid alien made of pure, red, radioactive energy inside a dark green-teal Containment Suit, a heavy, oven-like suit that was capable of containing high levels of radiation and heat.

In Omniverse, NRG's Containment Suit now has a handle on the head and the shoulders have bolts. There are three more bolts on each hand, and two on the chest. Inside his suit, NRG wears two straps, a belt, two wristbands on both arms, and two knee braces on both legs.

While in armor, NRG wears the Ultimatrix/Omnitrix symbol on the chest seal of his armor, and in his true form, the Omnitrix symbol is on his belt.

Albedo as Negative NRG

Negative NRG looks just like Ben's NRG in Ultimate Alien but with no Ultimatrix. His true form, meanwhile, is similar to P'andor's.

Mad Ben as NRG

Mad Ben's NRG wears a Containment Suit similar to Ben Prime's, but has orange spikes on the lower arms, shoulders, legs and hands. It has a grey plate on his grill and a spiked handle. The light coming out of the grill is orange, much like his Omnitrix symbol.

NRG is capable of firing highly radioactive energy beams through the vents in his containment suit which can corrode or melt metallic objects. The energy NRG radiates is hot enough to melt solid metal and rock, even with his containment suit on, through mere contact.

NRG can channel his heat underground, which results in the eruption of massive geysers of lava.

Outside his containment suit, all of NRG's powers are enhanced massively. He becomes very agile, gains the ability to fly, and gains limited phasing abilities. NRG can manipulate energy at a higher level, able to consume it simply as nourishment or to increase his power. NRG can fire energy balls and energy blasts out of his mouth.^[2] He can make himself glow like a light bulb, as seen in his fight against Zs'Skayr.

Equipment

NRG's Containment Suit is fire proof and virtually indestructible, with only Taydenite being able to pierce it.

NRG is able to easily open the suit and get out whenever he wants to.

Weaknesses

Because NRG is always in his containment suit, his abilities are weaker than if he was outside the suit. Due to the dangerous radiation his body gives off, NRG must stay in the suit for the safety of others and keep his radiation level to a minimum.

NRG's suit decreases his speed and agility.

Taydenite is the only known element that can damage NRG's suit, outside of the suit itself. The Kraaho are also strong enough to rip open NRG's suit.^[2]

The eye holes in the suit are quite small, which limits his vision somewhat.

Like P'andor, NRG is vulnerable to carbon dampening rods, which slow down nuclear reactions and inhibit his radiation generating abilities.

Ben 10 Ultimate Alien: Cosmic Destruction

• NRG is one of the Andromeda Galaxy aliens playable in the game. He can shoot laser beams, which melt metal. He can also create a big blast of radioactive energy around him, which was powerful enough to leave a funnel cloud. If he is on a high enough platform, he can preform a body slam attack that damages enemies if they are in range.

Project Exonaut

• NRG is a playable Exosuit of the Atlas Brigade on Project Exonaut. His Weapon Mod increases the Marksman's range and clip size. NRG is available for purchase at level 10 for 750 credits.

Naming and Translations

Etymology

When pronounced, his name sounds similar to energy.

Trivia

• NRG retains P'andor's armor, even though other Prypiatosian-Bs don't have it and it is not part of their genetic sequence. It was added by the Ultimatrix as part of a life support system, like Goop's anti-gravity disc, to keep him from causing radiation poisoning to those who are vulnerable to his radiation.
• The clothing NRG has on his true form is a lower level containment suit, which helps him keep his form, and maintain safer radiation levels for a short time out of the suit.^[3][4]
• NRG is the second alien to wear a containment suit. The first was Echo Echo. However, NRG wears 2 containment suits and can exit the outer one, unlike Echo Echo.
• In all of the episodes NRG's true form is seen, the Omnitrix symbol is on his armor aas well as his suit.
  • However, NRG's Omnitrix is supposed to unplug from the armor.^[3]
• NRG is the only alien that has two Omnitrix symbols.
• NRG's spit is made out of radiation.^[5]
• NRG is the only Andromeda alien not to be based on an animal. Terraspin being a cross between a tortoise and a turtle, Water Hazard being a mollusk, AmpFibian being a jellyfish and Armodrillo being an armadillo.
• NRG and the other Andromeda aliens have powers linked to a certain classical element; for NRG, it's fire.
• NRG has the shortest name out of all of Ben's aliens.
• Like XLR8, NRG's name is letters that sound like a word that relates to them and their powers.
• NRG is June's Alien of the Month.
• In Cosmic Destruction, NRG's suit is shown to be rusted in certain places, while in the show, it isn't.
• NRG appeared in the Cartoon Network show MAD in the episode Ben 10 Franklin. He had Ben Franklin's hair and glasses and had 6 holes on his helmet.
• He has a level 10 suit in Project Exonaut.
