Ssserpent

This article belongs to the Classic Continuity

Ssserpent is a villain in Ben 10: Alien Force and Ben 10: Ultimate Alien. He refers to himself as "The Snake That Walks Like A Man" (although he doesn't have any legs to be able to walk; he just slithers upright).

Appearance

Ssserpent resembles a snake that stands as tall as a human. He has two arms that end in snake mouth's. His arms are also bone-less and joint-less, allowing him a vast amount of flexibility.

Personality

Ssserpent is a strategic thinker who formulates plans for whomever he is fighting against. However, he has shown to be overconfident in his abilities, believing that he has foreseen every outcome, and has everything planned.

History

Alien Force

Ssserpent first appeared in Vengeance of Vilgax: Part 1. He proved to be tough for even Gwen and Kevin only to be easily defeated by the arrival of Ben as Cannonbolt.

Ultimate Alien

Ssserpent reappears in Video Games. Having been paroled out of the Null Void Prison, he tries to fight Ben only to be crushed by two cars that Four Arms used as weapons.

In The Perfect Girlfriend, Ssserpent becomes a much bigger threat. Apparently, he has learned much more as he has been watching Ben and studying his tactics, allowing him to plan for Ben to use Goop. He was able to defeat and torture Goop by trapping and spinning him in a blender-like machine, planning to separate Goop into different components.

However, Ssserpent escaped when the police came along and Elena Validus, who was impersonating Julie at the time, disabled the machine before it could finish off Goop. Later, Ssserpent gave Ben and the police the slip by shedding his skin and using it as a trick. It is currently unknown where he is now.

Powers and Abilities

Ssserpent was an extremely skilled strategist, studier and learner, which is revealed when he said that he'd been studying Ben's thinking actions and form a plan to make him use Goop in order to beat him which would probably have happened if "Julie" hadn't intervened.

Ssserpent is able to strangle his opponents' body like an Anaconda and also bite others.

Ssserpent is strong enough to lift opponents into the air with one arm.

Ssserpent is durable enough to withstand Gwen's mana attacks.

Ssserpent can shed his skin like a real snake, and can spit an acidic liquid capable of corroding metal.

Given the fact that he once attempted to eat Ben, Ssserpent may be able to unhinge his jaws like a real snake.
