Four Arms (Ken 10)

Four Arms (alternatively spelled as Fourarms) is the Omnitrix's DNA sample of a Tetramand from the planet Khoros.

Appearance |
Four Arms is a humanoid alien that is approximately twelve feet tall, has well-developed muscles, two pairs of four-fingered arms, and red skin. A black stripe goes from his chin to his lower lip, and he has four eyes: a main pair, and a smaller pair below them.

Four Arms wears a white T-shirt with a black line going down it, black pants, and fingerless gloves. He wore the original Omnitrix symbol on his upper left shoulder. His eyes were yellow and he had no hair.

Powers and Abilities |
Four Arms' most prominent ability is his enhanced strength, being able to lift several times his own weight and punch through various resilient materials with ease. Since Four Arms is one of Ben's strongest aliens in the original series, he relied on him the most when fighting large and powerful foes. Technically speaking, Four Arms is physically stronger than Methanosians and Vaxasaurians at base size.

Four Arms' strength allows him to use anything heavy as a weapon, from big rocks he can throw several feet away, to beams and pillars that can be used as clubs. His great strength even extends to his jaws and bite, allowing him to bite metal and damage it. He even develops two sharp fangs between his lower jaws as he gets older.

The older Four Arms grows, the stronger he becomes. By age 16, Four Arms has become strong to the point where he was able to overpower Looma Red Wind, the princess of Khoros, despite female Tetramands being generally stronger than their male counterparts.

Four Arms can create strong shockwaves by clapping all four of his hands together. Ben learned this ability from Tini.

Four Arms can alternatively create shockwaves by slamming his fists on the ground.

Four Arms can jump several times his own height, at least seven stories up, in a single bound.

Four Arms has enhanced reflexes, as he was able to catch and redirect missiles in a single motion.

Four Arms can climb up walls by pushing his fingers into them to make hand holds.

Four Arms has a high level of enhanced durability due to his tough and thorny skin, being able to casually take missiles from a drone and a slash to the chest from Malware while barely feeling any pain.

In correlation to his durable skin, Four Arms is highly resistant to fire, such as that generated by a Pyronite. His skin also makes him laser-proof.

When infected with a cold, Four Arms can sneeze out sprays of slimy snot from his mouth, and although disgusting, this can be useful against insects.

Weaknesses |
Four Arms' bulk can sometimes become a disadvantage, as all the extra muscle mass makes him relatively slower than other opponents and his immense size makes him an easy target for enemy attacks.

Despite his massive strength, Four Arms still can not penetrate the Plumber Base cell doors, pull Excalibur out of its stone, penetrate Benevelon's shield and remove Rook Ben's bi'nthak.

Four Arms' size can make moving through areas designed for small species, like the Rust Buckets 1 and 2, difficult.

Despite his enhanced durability, Four Arms can feel pain from electricity, such as those generated by Nosedeenians and Gimlinopithecus.

Four Arms can get drowsy by Porcupine's quills.

If under the effects of a cold, Four Arms' strength and stamina are severely reduced, his skin turns from bright red to a dark shade of orange, and he develops pungent hives in his armpits.

Four Arms can feel great discomfort while being attacked by a swarm of ants.

Four Arms is vulnerable to a Celestialsapien's telekinetic abilities, as demonstrated with Manny.
