Ditto

Ditto is the Omnitrix's DNA sample of a Splixson from the planet Hathor.Divided We Stand
==Appearance==
===Ben as Ditto===
Ditto is about the height of an average human child. He has white skin, a black and white head and face, black shoulders, large hands with four digits and feet which are merely stubs. Ditto also has three fin-like growths on his head, and gem-like extended sensory nodes on his arms and waist.
In the Original Series, Ditto's clothes were black and had an overall-like design. He had green eyes with light green shines and wore the original Omnitrix symbol on his forehead.
In Ultimate Alien, Ditto looked exactly the same as he did in the Original Series, except the white section outlining the hourglass symbol across his chest and arms was blue, and his eyes no longer had the light green shine. He wore the Ultimatrix symbol on his chest.
In Omniverse, 11-year-old Ditto's design is roughly similar to his original appearance except he appears smaller and stubbier. All of his fins are recolored white, with the ones on the sides of his head now connected to his eyes. He has two small whiskers on each of his cheeks, his fingers are sharper, and the sensory nodes on his shoulders have been relocated to his shoulders and wrists. His jumpsuit has been altered as well, with his neck being completely black and the feet being cut off to reveal three cat-like toes on each foot. The Omnitrix symbol on his forehead has been recolored green.
16-year-old Ditto looks exactly like his 11-year-old self, except he his fins are recolored green and his jumpsuit is now green with black patches under his arms, green sleeves, and black ankles. This jumpsuit seems to have a design based on the Omnitrix's insignia, with black triangles on the shoulders and green in the center. The three sensory nodes on Ditto's waist are now on a black belt. Like his younger self, Ditto wears the Omnitrix symbol on his forehead.
===Ken as Ditto===
Ken's Ditto looked the same as 10-year-old Ditto in the Original Series.

Ditto has the ability to clone himself without limits through binary fission. Each Ditto clone is indistinguishable from each other and operates independently, regardless of what the others want them to do. This allows Ditto to do multiple tasks simultaneously or to cover a large area.
The extended sensory nodes on Ditto's body assist in the sensory web that connects all of his clones by coordinating the hive mind communication between them.
Ditto can stop the duplication process before a clone comes into their independent being, creating half-formed clones with some of their limbs fused and stuck to his own. He used this power once to create a "ladder" of clones, where each "rail" was a continuous chain of fused arms and legs.O Mother, Where Art Thou? Ditto's clones can also dissipate themselves at will, shown when they immediately dissipated themselves before they were attacked by the clones of Khyber's Panuncian.
Ditto possesses enhanced durability, demonstrated when he and his clones were still standing after being hit around by Dr. Animo's mutant Lepidopterran/Splixson hybrids.
Ditto can jump surprisingly high for his size; while playing basketball, Ditto slam-dunked the ball through a hoop in a way that would be difficult for an average human to jump high enough to do. Ditto is also quite agile, as he was able to climb, squeeze, and maneuver his way out of reach of Khyber's Panuncian while being chased.
Ditto can quickly burrow into the ground and breathe underwater.A Fistful of Brains

If the Ditto and his clones are too far apart from each other, he cannot change back into Ben until all the duplicates are close enough together. It seems that this requires more power from the Omnitrix than normal, as seen later when he could only transform into Upgrade for a fraction of the normal time limit.
Ditto's clones can be fused back together with enough force. 
Being a Splixson, Ditto is at a massive disadvantage against a Panuncian due to them also possessing the ability to clone themselves.Khyber
Ditto can be harmed by electricity, such as when he was tortured with an electrical prod by Dr. Animo while he was held captive in a container filled with water.
Ditto can be controlled by Vladats via their Corrupturas. However, the latter cannot control all of the Ditto clones as each of them are independent. Furthermore, the Corrupturas will not be copied across his clones.
Ditto is not resistant to extremely cold temperatures.
In the Original Series, Ditto's clones shared a link to keep track of each other, making it so that if one Ditto was hurt, all the others would feel the same pain and if one Ditto got killed, the others were automatically killed as well, thus negating the ability to form an army of clones. However, this is no longer true as of Omniverse, as each clone is independent from each other's pain, meaning a clone can be killed without harming the others.
==History==
===Ben 10===

==Naming and Translations==
==Etymology==
"Ditto" is a word that means "the same thing again", referencing Ditto's self-duplication ability.
==Trivia==
*Ditto and Wildvine are the only aliens to be manually (and accidentally) unlocked by Ben.
*According to Ben's fansites on the Extranet, Ditto is his cutest alien.Hot Stretch
*If Ben were to use Ditto with Skurd attached to the Omnitrix, only the original Ditto would have Skurd. If all the clones had to use Skurd's power, they would have to remain huddled together.
*Ben 23 may not have an alternate counterpart to Ditto in his Omnitrix. If he did, however, then the alien's name would be Copy Copy 2.
*Ditto's Original Series design was made by Thomas Perkins. The first design he made was approved as the crew was very busy when Ditto was conceived during development. The only difference is that his fins were changed from white to black.
**Ditto's Omniverse designs were made by Derrick J. Wyatt.
**Although Ditto's design bears a resemblance to Yakko Warner from Animaniacs (who coincidentally is also voiced by Rob Paulsen), Thomas did not give a single thought to the Animaniacs when designing him.
*Ditto's design in Omniverse has some elements of the Pikmin from the eponymous Nintendo series.
*Had Ditto appeared in the reboot, the crew would have ideally had Rob Paulsen return to voice him.
