Ultimate Swampfire is the Ultimatrix's artificially evolved DNA sample of a Methanosian.
Appearance[]
Ultimate Swampfire has the appearance of a humanoid tree instead of a walking plant like Swampfire. Ultimate Swampfire's body is dark brown in color, and now has three blue gooey shells containing an organic, blue-colored gel-like solution of kerosene napalm on each of his arms and a large one on his back.[merch 1] He also has a smaller pod on his front, through which his face can be seen. Ultimate Swampfire's body is composed of petrified wood.
Ultimate Swampfire wears the evolved Ultimatrix symbol on his chest.
Powers and Abilities[]
Ultimate Swampfire has a high degree of chlorokinesis, allowing him to telepathically interface with plant life, among other things. Additionally, Ultimate Swampfire has an increased degree of chlorokinesis compared to his devolved counterpart.[merch 1]
Ultimate Swampfire can ignite a kerosene gel-like solution in his arms to generate blue-colored flames.[merch 1] These flames are much hotter than Swampfire's, as they melted through a brick wall[1] and can disintegrate a Petrosapien's shard projectiles in midair, the latter of which was demonstrated by his sentient counterpart.[2][note 1] Ultimate Swampfire is also capable of limited flight through means of launching fire from his palms as jet propulsion.[3]
Ultimate Swampfire has fire bombs on his arms which he can pick off and throw as lethal explosives, one of these fire bombs was able to completely destroy the Plant Alien after being thrown inside of it.[4] He can also shoot out a large cluster of fire bombs from his hands that separate and detonate individually, providing a blast range over a wider area.[3]
Ultimate Swampfire retains Swampfire's ability to generate seeds and vines,[5] as well as his regeneration[CN 1][CN 2][MW 1] and elasticity.[3]
Ultimate Swampfire is very strong, as he was able to force the mouth of the Plant Alien open to throw a fire bomb inside.[4]
Ultimate Swampfire is faster than he looks, as seen when he snuck up behind Eon so fast that he didn't notice.[5]
Ultimate Swampfire can breathe[merch 2] and generate fire underwater.[3] Ultimate Swampfire also resists radiation. However, Ultimate Swampfire has been shown to be hurt by the force of a radiation attack.[1]
