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 napalm on each of his arms and a large one on his back. 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 can ignite napalm in his arms to generate blue-colored flames. These flames are almost two times hotter than Swampfire's, as they can melt through a brick wall[2] and blast apart a Petrosapien's shard projectiles, the latter of which was demonstrated by his sentient counterpart.[3]
Ultimate Swampfire can produce a larger and stronger blast of fire when he puts his hands together. He can also propel himself underwater and in the air.[1]
Ultimate Swampfire is more resistant to damage than Swampfire.
Ultimate Swampfire has lethal fire bombs on his arms which he can throw as weapons.
Ultimate Swampfire can shoot blue projectiles from his hands that can multiply into small blue gas bombs that explode on impact.[1]
Ultimate Swampfire retains Swampfire's abilities to generate seeds and vines.
Ultimate Swampfire seems to be a lot faster than he looks, as seen when he snuck up behind Eon so fast that he was unable to notice him.[4]
Ultimate Swampfire appears to have a degree of underwater Breathing, as he was able to fight underwater with Vilgax's true form.
Weaknesses
Ultimate Swampfire is vulnerable to electricity, such as that generated by an Amperi.[2][5]
Like other organic beings, Ultimate Swampfire is vulnerable to being aged to dust by the time rays of a Chronosapien or a Chronian.[4]
Unlike Swampfire, Ultimate Swampfire has not been shown to regenerate.[note 1]
