NRG (pronounced "En-aar-jee") is the Omnitrix's DNA sample of a Prypiatosian-B from an unknown world in the Andromeda Galaxy.
Appearance
NRG is a humanoid alien made of pure, red, radioactive energy contained in a heavy, oven-like suit that is capable of containing high levels of radiation and heat.
In Omniverse, NRG has a handle on his head and his stripe on his shoulder has bolts. He also has 3 bolts on each hand, and two on his chest. Outside his suit, his true form wears two straps, a belt, two wristbands on both arms and two knee braces on both legs. These clothes are similar to lederhosen, the clothes of Germans.
While in his armored form, he wears the Ultimatrix/Omnitrix symbol on the chest seal of his armor, and in his true form, the Omnitrix is on his belt.
Powers and Abilities
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 he radiates is hot enough he is enabled the ability to melt solid metal and rock, even with his containment suit on, through mere contact.
NRG can channel his heat underground, which results with the eruption massive geyser of lava. In Cosmic Destruction, it was shown that NRG could make a blast of radioactive energy around him, which powerful enough to leave a funnel cloud.
NRG's suit is virtually indestructible, only Taedenite being able to pierce it. However, NRG is able to open the suit easily and whenever he wants to.
Without his suit, all of NRG's powers are enhanced massively. He becomes very agile and gains the ability to fly, and gains limited phasing abilities. He can manipulate energy at a higher level, able to consume it simply as nourishment or to increase his power. As shown in Hot Stretch, NRG can fire energy balls and fire energy out of his mouth.
Weaknesses
Because NRG is always in his containment suit, his abilities are weaker than if he was outside the suit. Because of the radiation his body gives off, NRG must stay in the suit for the safety of others to keep its radiation to a minimum. NRG's suit decreases his speed and agility. Taedenite is the only known element that can damage NRG's suit, outside of the suit itself. The eye holes in the suit are quite small, which limits his vision somewhat.

Trivia
- According to Dwayne, NRG's suit is Level 3 tech with a built-in translator.
- NRG speaks with a Russian accent.
- 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 is instead based off from Prypiat.
- 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.
- 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 poisoning those who are vulnerable to his radiation.
- In Cosmic Destruction, NRG's suit is shown to be rusted in certain places, while in the show, it isn't.
- NRG is June's Alien of the Month.
- He has a level 10 suit in Project Exonaut.
- In Hot Stretch, when NRG was out of his suit, the Omnitrix symbol was on his suit and on him.
- However, according to Derrick J. Wyatt, NRG's Omnitrix "unplugs" from the suit. However this doesn't make much sense considering that his true form has the symbol on his belt and NRG has it on his chest.It is possible that it detaches from the belt, but a cord is keeping it there and it moves upward to the chest.
- Although Taydenite was considered to be the only material that can cut open NRG's Containment Suit in Too Hot To Handle, The Kraaho somehow opened it with bare hands in Hot Stretch. However the Kraaho opened the armor, as Taydenite cuts it. The Omnitrix edited the suit so that it could be opened.
- But, later seen in The Frogs Of War: Part 1, the suit can open fairly easily.
- According to Derrick, 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.[1]
- Shown in The More Things Change: Part 2, NRG's spit is made out of radiation.
