Opticnervous is the Omnitrix's DNA sample for the Ikterishii from the Ikteria-3 in Ikteria Major system. Its first appearance was in the Everything is ending pilot.
Appearance[]
Opticnervous resemble a large, six-legged lizard, covered with red and yellow fur. The head of Opticnervous is large and triangle, with two big complex faceted eyes and a large complex of tendrils as his "mane". These tendrils act as electromagnetic waves control antennae.
The Opticnervous is not bipedal and moves on all six legs.
He has the Omnitrix symbol on his lower jaw.
Powers and abilities[]
The Opticnervous has the ability to very subtly feel and control the propagation of electromagnetic waves around it. His ability could be applied to a wide spectre of electromagnetic waves, including visible (to humans) light.
The Opticnervous could control waves, bend waves, reflect waves, accelerate or decelerate them. By doing this, he could:
- Make the objects (and himself) invisible to others, by controlling the propagation of light and infrared waves.
- Create optical and/or infrared illusions (for example, by making objects appear where they are not actually located)
- Create the absolute darkness or the extremely bright light by the acceleration/deceleration of the light waves.
- Jam the radio transmissions or interfere with them.
His abilities are not applied to the coherent electromagnetic radiation (like lase beams), X-rays or gamma spectre.
Also, the Opticnervous is a good climber.
Weaknesses[]
Being the Ikterishii, the Opticnervous are naturally non-aggressive. Their primal reaction to any danger is to hide, or distract the enemy, not to fight. When Ben turned to Opticnervous, he is almost completely unable to actually fight back, even when he or some other in danger.
Also, due to the fact that the Ikterishii masking abilities are "perfect defense" against possible threats, the Ikterishii aren't greatly evolved intellectually. Actually, they are only semi-intelligent, like the Earth dolphins or apes. So when Ben turns into Opticnervous, he must make significant efforts to control their natural instincts.
The Opticnervous have less than average speed and agility, and not physically strong.
