Upgrade

Upgrade was the Omnitrix's DNA sample of a Galvanic Mechamorph from Galvan Prime's moon, Galvan B.

Appearance
Upgrade has a predominantly plum-coloured exterior with a violet torso and thighs. He has purple stripes that extend from his body, resembling circuitry; the circle on the front of his head being his eye.

Upgrade wears the Omnitrix symbol on his chest.

Powers and Abilities
Upgrade was not completely solid, as he could alternate between the forms of a liquid and a gelatinous being. Due to this, he can reshape himself to let projectiles or blows pass through him by creating a hole in his body at will.

Upgrade could use his internal nanotechnology to merge with and possess any technology by encasing himself over it. The size of the device is not significant and he controls it as naturally as he would his own body. When he merged he upgraded the technology, making the technology he possessed far more advanced and futuristic and causing new features to form on it. He could also destroy the technology he possesses.[1] Possessing technology allowed him to transform it with seemingly no limit, such as merging with the Rustbucket and turning it into a space ship, while the moment he un-merged with it, it returned to normal. He could also make his head or his face appear anywhere on the machines he possesses. He was able to upgrade the Omnitrix to permanently enhance his other aliens.

Due to being made of living metal, Upgrade was able to regenerate himself.

Weaknesses
Upgrade was weak against electricity (being living metal). He was sensitive to electromagnetic pulse/fields and magnetic fields.

As a toddler, Upgrade could not completely merge with technology but could if he was stretched long enough.

History

 * In Omni-Tricked: Part 3, Upgrade tried to put out a fire twice.
 * In Omni-Tricked: Part 4, Upgrade caused Vilgax's ship to crash and upgraded the Omnitrix, apparently removing himself from the active playlist and getting replaced with Shock Rock.
 * When the Omnitrix rebooted, Upgrade's DNA got destroyed in a massive feedback loop, with a part of the DNA fusing with Ben's DNA to survive, thus creating Glitch.
 * In Innervasion Part 4: Mind Over Alien Matter, Upgrade appeared when Glitch recounted the circumstances of his creation.

Trivia

 * Upgrade still appeared in the opening for the first 20 episodes of season 2, up until Half-Sies, despite being destroyed by this point.
 * Upgrade can fire a purple laser from his eye in the video game.
