Wildvine is the Omnitrix's DNA sample of a Florauna from the planet Flors Verdance.
Appearance
Ben as Wildvine
In the original series, Wildvine had five vine-like legs, four long fingers on his hands, and flytrap-shaped flaps with teeth covering his head. He had pods on his back that he can use as explosives or smoke bombs, as well as one blue eye in the middle of his face and one on both of his shoulders. He wore the Omnitrix symbol on his chest.
In Back with a Vengeance, Wildvine wore a yellow raincoat.
In Ultimate Alien, Wildvine was recolored brownish-green, making him look more like the Florauna from Secret of the Omnitrix. The eyes on his shoulders were green, as was his eye, and his flytrap teeth were black. He wore the Ultimatrix symbol on his chest.
In Omniverse, Wildvine regains the color of his 10-year-old self. He now has only four legs instead of five, and his fingers are much shorter and thicker. Wildvine no longer has the eyes on his shoulders, instead having patches of light green color similar to those on his hands. He also now has a blue tongue, his teeth are more neat and his chin is bigger. His flytrap teeth are bigger but the same color as his 10-year-old self. Wildvine wears the Omnitrix symbol on a green and white belt.
11-year-old Ben as Wildvine in Omniverse looks the same as the 16-year-old one but wears the Omnitrix symbol on his chest.
Albedo as Negative Wildvine
Negative Wildvine looks just like 16-year-old Wildvine in Omniverse, but is greenish-brown with a red eye and his flytrap teeth are black. Negative Wildvine wears the Ultimatrix symbol on a red and white belt.
Gwen as Wildvine
Gwen as Wildvine looks similar to her male counterpart, but her body is shaped like a dress. Her fly trap is much larger and she has bulb-like hair with a ponytail, along with dark green lips. She has a skirt-like structure on her waist which covers the top of her leg tendrils. She lacks the spikes that Ben's Wildvine has on his arms, legs, and chest and she has one glowing pink eye. She wears the Omnitrix symbol, which is the same color as her eye, on her stomach. Unlike Gwen's other aliens, the Omnitrix symbol is circular instead of a cat-shape.
Powers and Abilities
Wildvine can grow and retract his body and can merge with plant life. He can also grow vines to trap others, which appear to be his fingers coming off.
Wildvine can merge with plant life, including Earth trees. He can also change his color in order to camouflage better. He can make body parts, notably his head, appear on the plant he merges with.[1]
Wildvine can grow seeds on his back that contain a whole host of substances (lethal and non-lethal). His seeds can also grow vines.[2]
Wildvine can grow skewers on his legs to knock down enemies, as well as grow sharp thorns on his body. He is also highly agile, as he can spin in the air to disperse his seed bombs, and throw them into the air, basically firing on his enemies.
Wildvine also possesses enhanced strength and is able to regenerate his body if it's damaged.[2]
Wildvine is capable of quickly tunneling underground.
Wildvine is immune to the effects of gases, such as a flame retardant.[3] He also cannot be hypnotized.[4]
Weaknesses
Wildvine's vines can be tangled.[2] He can also be tangled up in his own vines.
Wildvine is vulnerable to fire and cold, as he is a plant-based alien.
