– Strike while hunting Garnet and Ben.[1] | ||
Strike is the main villain in Crossover Nexus.
Appearance[]
Strike is a tall, muscular purple humanoid masked by a black costume with red X markings and circuit lines. He wears a red cape and has a notable cybernetic arm.
Personality[]
Strike seems to have a fondness for fights, summoning, and attacking heroes purely for the thrill of destroying them.
History[]
Background[]
Despite much of Strike's backstory being classified,[IJQ 1] what is known is that he assaulted the Nexus Realm, stealing the powers of the native heroes using a pen made by the Black Hat Organization.[2] From there, he proceeded to abducted heroes from other dimensions including Garnet, Ben 10, Raven, and Rex Salazar. Despite turning most of the dimensional heroes into stone whilst stealing their powers, Raven was barely able to escape this fate due to a protection spell.
Crossover Nexus[]
Strike first appears in Crossover Nexus. When his latest victim, K.O., was rescued by Garnet and Ben, Strike sent his Pen to pin them down. It was able to erase both the Omnitrix (leaving Ben stuck as Four Arms) and Garnet's visor. Strike himself reappeared before K.O., Garnet, Four Arms, and a still-alive Raven to finish them off.
Unfortunately, his power-up sequence gave K.O. enough time to reprogram the Pen to recreate the Omnitrix (allowing Four Arms to turn back into Ben), Raven's magic, and Garnet's visor. After getting attacked by Garnet and Raven, Ben switched through a variety of new transformations based off the defeated heroes to vanquish Strike with a Power Fist, ending his reign of terror.
With the Pen free from his control, Garnet orders the Pen to undo all the damage Strike caused, restoring the Nexus Realm to its former glory and reviving the other heroes.
Powers and Abilities[]
Strike was capable of summoning red energy strikes shaped like X's that can instantly incapacitate a hero by turning them to stone.
Strike could hover and fly.
Equipment[]
Strike's cybernetic arm had a holographic display that showed him a list of he has hunted, as well as summon those he had yet to face.
Strike had reality changing powers, able to create whatever he desires using his pen.
Strike's large pen could erase whatever it blasts, such as powers and weaponry. It is also capable of flying on its own like a drone. There was a reverse switch on the Pen, capable of reprogramming it bring back all that it had deleted.
Weaknesses[]
Strike was notably arrogant and over confident, as evidenced when he took a long time to power up which allowed K.O. to help Garnet, Ben and Raven regain their powers.
