Ben 10 Fan Fiction Wiki:Archive/Upgrade

Upgrade is the Omnitrix's DNA sample of a Galvanic Mechamorph from Galvan B.

Appearance
Upgrade has a black exterior with green stripes that resemble circuitry all over him. The green circle on his head is his eye, which glows whenever he talks.

In the Original Series, Upgrade wore white clothing on his front torso and the Omnitrix symbol was on his chest.

In Destroy All Aliens, Upgrade looks the same except for the fact that he has more of a metallic sheen, making him look more like a machine.

In Ultimate Alien, Upgrade has green and black stripes where the white was in the original series.

In Omniverse, 16 year old Upgrade wears the Omnitrix symbol inside the ring of his eye and he is more muscular. His circuit pattern has changed slightly. He sounds like teenage Ben, but has a robotic tone in his voice that is similar to Malware's.

11 year old Upgrade looks exactly as he does in the original series, save for a green Omnitrix symbol and his neck being longer.

In Legion Of Ultimate Superheroes, he has his Ultimate Alien appearance.

Powers and Abilities
Upgrade can reshape himself, as he can turn to some sort of mechanical liquid at will.

Upgrade's internal nanotechnology allows for Upgrade's primary ability to merge with and 'possess' any sort of device. The size of the device is inconsequential. He can upgrade a device in more than one way, giving it different appearances each time he merges, as shown in Heroes United, where he upgraded the Smack Hands twice, with different appearances and upgrades each time. While merged with a device, Upgrade controls it as he would his own body. He can also merge with organic life, as long as there is non-organic as well, as was the case with Rojo and Rex.

Upgrade can fire a laser beam from his eye.

Upgrade can form simple constructs from plasma, such as spikes and also partially possess a machine to enhance his lasers.

Upgrade can phase through metal and technology.

Upgrade can survive in a vacuum.

Upgrade can reform after being blasted, as shown in Midnight Madness after being shot by police and was shown to be able to gently float in air similar to a parachute in Secrets.In John Smith 10, he has the ability to transform into any device that he previously merged with, such as the battleship, just like Ship can. In Ben 10 Rebooted upgrade posses more of malwares powers.

Weaknesses
Upgrade is weak against electricity (being living metal), as shown in Tourist Trap when he was battling the Megawhatts.

Upgrade is sensitive to electromagnetic pulse/fields and magnetic fields.

Upgrade can be hurt if he is pulled long and hard enough as shown in Divided We Stand, by the Mutant Squid.

According to Derrick J. Wyatt, Upgrade can be affected by technorganic viruses.[1

In Color of Monkey, it is revealed that when Upgrade is attached to technology while it is damaged, he will be harmed as well.

Ben 10: Alien Universe
In Ben 10: Alien Universe, Upgrade appears in the series finale where he is unlocked thanks to a DNAlien who has gotten control of sanity and revealed that an ID mask should return the Omnitrix to him. While not evident, this version of Upgrade was purposely based on his Original Series appearance rather than a Baz-El like one which would be the appropriate look as confirmed with Upgrade's appearance in Ben 10-Generator Rex: Heroes United.

In the first (titular) episode of Ben 10: Unleashed, Ben used Upgrade after getting an ID Mask. He later stole the Ultimatrix from Albedo. During the brief moment where Ben showed off many of his available new and old aliens, Upgrade was one of the aliens shown, signifying the return of Upgrade.

In Infernosphere, an episode in the Unleashed time period and the Shorts season of Back in Action, Upgrade makes a cameo in Part III, and Ben mentions having to use it after the episode ends as he goes offscreen.

In Limited, an alternate timeline Max Tennyson used Upgrade to try and stop the Thep Khufan Wars from advancing into the destruction of Earth. He and the rest of the 10 Squad failed.

In No Strings Attached, Ben uses Upgrade to merge with Julie when she doesn't bring Ship on a seemingly battle-free trip.
