Powers and Abilities[]
Both Upchucks have four very strong, adhesive tongues that can stretch to great lengths, allowing them to latch onto large objects and reel them in with relative ease.
Both Upchucks' mouths can stretch, allowing them to swallow objects larger than themselves. They are connected with a trans-space bladder dimension where they store all the "food" they eat. He is both connected to the Gourmand species and sense any danger to his people through his stomach.
By breathing air out of their mouths, both Upchucks are able to fly.
The items ingested are converted into explosive balls of liquids that can be expelled with great accuracy. Perk Upchuck can also make them curve, like a boomerang, shuriken, or frisbee. Murk Upchuck hasn't shown this. Perk Upchuck can even fire powerful streams of his explosive vomit like an energy beam by building up the digested matter and releasing it all at once.
The explosive power of Upchuck's "loogies" depends on the chemical composition and overall size of what he ate to create them.
Perk Upchuck is able to take a surprising amount of punishment for a creature of its size, taking the force of a moving car impact as well as surviving after being thrown through a wall.
Both Upchucks can eat and spit out energy, such as lasers, in the same way he eats and spits out acid matter.
Murk Upchuck can spit out slime, which can be slippery and can melt ice. Perk Upchuck hasn't displayed this.
