Way Big (alternatively spelled as Waybig)[1] is the Omnitrix's DNA sample of a To'kustar, a race of ultra-rare,[pop-up 1][2] gigantic aliens that are created in Cosmic Storms.

Appearance

Ben as Way Big

Way Big is a colossal humanoid creature with a large fin on his head, which is black at the front and red at the bottom. He has blade-like growths on his shoulders and spikes on his waist. He also has red arms with two black lines and white fins on the elbows, wristband like outgrowths on his wrists and yellow eyes on his head with two extra eyes protruding on his cheeks, one on each. He has red feet with two toes, a black sandal-like covering on the middle of his feet and three black lines on the side of his neck.

In Alien Force and Ultimate Alien, Way Big's fin was red on the front and black on the bottom, his arms were white with red fins coming out of them and his neck and wrists were black. Way Big's eyes are green and he did not bear the extra ones on his cheeks. He lacked the stripes on his arms as well as the blades on his shoulders and waist. He also had red boot-like feet and did not have the sandal-like coverings.

In Destroy All Aliens, Way Big looked mostly the same as in Alien Force and Ultimate Alien, except the red parts were colored to match his portrayal in the original series.

In Omniverse, Way Big has two red lines on his neck, the blades on his shoulders and waist have returned and he also has fingerless gloves, similar to the ones Four Arms wears. He is now more muscular, his head is less skull-shaped, he has eyes on his cheeks again, which are more metallic. The fins on his arms are longer and he has regained the stripes on his arms and stripes. Uniquely, both 16 and 11-year-old Way Big share the exact same design.

Way Big wears the original Omnitrix/Ultimatrix/Omnitrix symbol on his chest.

Ben 10,000 as Way Big

Ben 10,000's Way Big looked identical to 10-year-old Way Big in the original series.

Mad Ben as Mad Way Big

Mad Ben as Mad Way Big is near identical to Ben Prime's Way Big in Omniverse, except for orange replacing the eyes and the red parts. He also wears gray shoulder pads with orange spikes, spiked shoes, and orange wraps around his forearms and calves. His arm and head blades are also serrated.

Powers and Abilities

Way Big is very strong (even for his size), as shown when he defeated Vilgax (who was Way Big's size at the time) and threw him into orbit.[3]

Way Big has great durability, withstanding attacks from enemies while barely even feeling them.

Way Big is very skilled in hand-to-hand combat, as seen when he fought giant versions of Vilgax,[3] the Garbage Monster,[4] and Malware.[5]

Way Big can shoot a powerful cosmic ray[DM 1] from the outer edge of his right hand by crossing his arms together.

Way Big can survive in the vacuum of space, is resistant to extreme temperatures, and can create and control Cosmic Storms as a means of inhabitation and transportation throughout space; these feats were first demonstrated by an alternate version of Evil Way Big.[6]

Way Big can destroy a small planet.[JK 1]

Way Big used to possess enhanced speed, similar to XLR8 and Fasttrack albeit with him leaving a red and white trail behind,[4] due to a glitch with the original Ultimatrix. This ability was removed from Way Big's DNA when Ben acquired the new Omnitrix in The Ultimate Enemy: Part 2.[DJW 1]

Weaknesses

Way Big sometimes forgets how strong he is, as shown when he accidentally destroyed the statue of Zabin by leaning on it.[7] His size also gives him a slight mobility issue, since he has to be careful where he steps to avoid crushing objects and people around him, and easily gives his location away.

Because of his size, Way Big cannot be used inside buildings or confined spaces.

Since Way Big's fin is a weak spot, a hit to that area can paralyze him.[8][9] He also has a weakness against electricity.[9]

Despite his immense durability, Way Big is vulnerable to opponents with sufficient strength, such as a giant Trumbipulor.[10]

Like other organic beings, Way Big is vulnerable to being aged to dust by the time rays of a Chronosapien or a Chronian.[11]

Way Big can be lifted and thrown by either an Evolved Vaxasaurian[12] or a normal Vaxasaurian, even when the latter is at its base size.[ES 1]

Certain beings that are about as small as Nanomech can go inside Way Big's head and attack him.[13]

A Kineceleran can generate a tornado strong enough to lift Way Big off of his feet, as demonstrated with the Way Bads.[14]

Way Big can be harmed by Argit's quills; this has also been exclusively demonstrated with the Way Bads.[14]

Ben 10 Ultimate Alien: Cosmic Destruction

Trivia

  • Way Big's original series design was created by Tom Perkins, while his Alien Force/Ultimate Alien one was created by Glenn Wong, with color styling by Chris Hooten.[GW 1]
  • The red parts of Way Big's body are made of an unknown cosmic material with metallic properties,[DJW 2] which is why Osmosians like Kevin can absorb it.[5]
  • Way Big is Ben's sixth most powerful alien.[DJW 3]
  • Way Big's size is portrayed inconsistently in many of his appearances. His actual height is supposed to be 120 feet (36.576 meters) tall.[MW 1]
  • Not counting Ball Weevil or Bloxx, Way Big and Snare-oh are the only aliens in Omniverse whose 16-year-old appearances look identical to their 11-year-old selves.
  • Way Big's design and fighting style are based on the heroes of the Ultraman series. For example, Way Big's cosmic ray attack is similar to the Ultraman signature technique Specium Ray.
    • In Ultimate Alien, the cosmic ray attack was executed by crossing his arms in an "L" shape, with his right forearm vertical and left forearm horizontal in front of it and the thumb edge of his hands facing his body.
    • In Omniverse, this move is slightly revised, as Way Big now crosses his arms in an "X" shape.
  • Way Big's cosmic rays were originally colored pale blue in Ultimate Alien before being recolored green in Omniverse.
  • From Arc 4 of Omniverse onwards, Way Big is replaced with Toepick in the opening intro of the show, specifically in the part where the former used to appear alongside Shocksquatch, Bloxx, and Crashhopper.
  • Way Big and Diamondhead are the only aliens who have ever defeated Vilgax.
  • Way Big is one of four aliens to make their debut in a movie or special; the others being Eon, Nanomech and Shocksquatch.
  • Way Big is one of four aliens to have been unlocked by Azmuth; the others being Murk Upchuck, Bullfrag, Atomix.
  • Way Big is one of only five aliens who appeared in each series of the Classic Continuity; the other four are Upchuck, Cannonbolt, Diamondhead and Ghostfreak.
