Chromastone (Classic)

Chromastone (alternatively spelled as ChromaStone) is the Omnitrix's DNA sample of a Crystalsapien from the planet Petropia.Tetrax Shard
==Appearance==
Chromastone is a humanoid silicon-basedInside Man alien made of extremely durable crystal. His body is overall indigo, with several dark lines and spots. His hands and face are magenta, and he also sports six magenta shards on his back, two on his chest, and one on the top of his head that resembles a horn. His face consists of a mouth and one large green eye at the center.
In Alien Force and Ultimate Alien, Chromastone wore the original Omnitrix/Ultimatrix on his chest.
In Heroes United, Chromastone had green teeth and some of his dark lines were missing.
In Omniverse, Chromastone has two unique designs. The first, which appears in Trouble Helix, looked mostly the same as in Alien Force and Ultimate Alien except that the crystals on his back and head were much longer. Much like before, the Omnitrix symbol is on his chest.
The second design, which appeared in A New Dawn, is drastically different. He has three additional crystal shards on each shoulder and arm, one on each knee, and two on the sides of his head. The crystals on his chest and the four small shards on his back are gone. His neck is now longer, his face has a magenta chin that resembles a mouth guard, and he now speaks without moving his mouth at all. He has black rock hands with five magenta crystalline fingers. He now wears a green jumpsuit with white stripes on the waist, green-and-white striped gauntlets on his wrists and legs, and the Omnitrix symbol has been relocated to his right pectoral.

Chromastone has the ability to produce rainbow-colored energy from inside his body. He can then expel it out as powerful beams from either his hands,A New Dawn the shards on his body,Voided or his eye, but only to a limited extent, as he will eventually run out of energy until he absorbs more. Chromastone's beams are powerful enough to melt through a truck trailerInside Man and destroy an entire turret. Chromastone also has dynakinesis, allowing him to control the direction of his energy with extreme precision, as shown when he created a ring of energy that formed into several small scattering beams.Unearthed Chromastone can also use his energy to corrupt and manipulate external sources of energy, such as mana; as seen when he dissipated a bubble of mana that Gwen had generated around him.Absolute Power: Part 1
Chromastone has the ability to allow nearly any kind of energy, including lasers; electricity; mana;The Ultimate Enemy: Part 2 and any type of electromagnetic radiation, from ultraviolet light to cosmic rays, to collect within or phase through his body without harm; which he can then convert into his rainbow energy. Absorbing external energy will supercharge Chromastone's beams, making them more powerful depending on what was absorbed. For instance, when the Dragon attacked him with its powerful energy blast, he absorbed it and subdued the Dragon with an equally powerful wave of energy.Be-Knighted Similarly, when Gwen gave Chromastone a large amount of mana for him to absorb, he was able to shoot powerful energy blasts to damage Dagon.
Chromastone is able to redirect energy attacks instead of absorbing them.The Gauntlet
As well as being immune to electricity, Chromastone can also conduct it back at the attacker, as seen when Lucy attacked him with an electric cable.
Chromastone is capable of instant levitation and flight.The Creature From Beyond While flying, he can leave behind an energy trail in the air.Enemy of My Frenemy
Chromastone possesses enhanced strength, allowing him to overpower strong opponents, such as a Techadon-enhanced Cash, with his bare hands. Technically speaking, he is physically stronger than Methanosians, but weaker than Vaxasaurians.
Chromastone possesses enhanced durability thanks to his very dense and crystalline skin, which allows him to withstand being thrown against several vehicles at once.
Chromastone is capable of jumping exceptionally high.Darkstar Rising He is also quite agile and fast.Good Copy, Bad Copy
Chromastone can survive in the vacuum of space, as demonstrated by Sugilite when he was traveling to what was left of Petropia.
Due to him being made of super dense silicon-based crystals, Chromastone is immune to possession from a Xenocite.
Chromastone is resistant to intense heat, as seen when Chromastone resisted the Dragon's energy breath.
Chromastone has the power to generate focused gamma rays.
Chromastone can project a beam of light from his hands for illumination purposes.
Chromastone can use his energy to increase the temperature of his body, to the point where he can become hot enough to dissolve an Arachnichimp's webs.
If a big enough light source were to shine through him, Chromastone can create a big, beautiful rainbow in the sky.
==Weaknesses==
AND (432).png|Absorption Incapacity
EoMF (309).png|Absorption Limit
Fame (389).png|Water-Conducted Electricity Vulnerability
Chromastone is incapable of absorbing certain types of energy, such as the energy of the extradimensional field that protects the Contumelia from the Annihilarrgh.
Chromastone has a limit to how much energy he can absorb at once, as he once tried to absorb all the mana from the Sorcerer's Engine but was overwhelmed to the point of almost crumbling apart.
In addition to Chromastone having a limit to how much he can absorb, he also cannot absorb the energy released by an Annihilarrgh because he would be instantly disintegrated if he tried.
Chromastone can be harmed by electricity while it is being conducted by water.Fame
Chromastone can be controlled by Vladats via their Corrupturas.
