===Ben 10===
Grey Matter is a playable alien character in the game. He is initially unavailable, but is unlocked towards the end of the The City level.
Grey Matter is equipped with a mechanical backpack that assists him in combat, being able to fire energy blasts and vortices that drag enemies near.
Grey Matter's small size allows him to enter small areas that the rest of Ben's aliens, and Ben himself, are unable to access.
Grey Matter's Ultimate Ability consists of him modifying his backpack to shrink enemies down to a microscopic level, then stepping on them.
Grey Matter is vital for progression on the The City, the The Funhouse, the The Scrapyard and the The Hive levels of the game.
==Naming and Translations==
==Trivia==
*Grey Matter was the first mistransformation in the Reboot Continuity.Take 10
*Grey Matter's outfit is modelled after the one worn in the original series, but with the white portion recolored green to match the outfit worn in Omniverse. The black ring around his waist also bears similarity to the latter outfit.
*Despite being replaced with Slapback beginning in Season 3, it was hinted by Duncan Rouleau that Grey Matter would return in the future, foreshadowing his appearance in Ben Gen 10.
**Ben could also regain access to Grey Matter, given how he has learned how to access the entire cache of Omnitrix aliens by cycling in new chambers from Azmuth.Ben 10 Versus the Universe: The Movie
***It's implied that Grey Matter was added back to the active playlist during Ben Gen 10, as his DNA pod can be seen briefly in the loading chamber while Rex Salazar was removing his nanites from the Omnitrix.
**Had Grey Matter appeared in Season 4, his Omni-Kix and Omni-Naut forms would both resemble big mech suits.
*Grey Matter is Montserrat Hernandez's and Duncan Rouleau's favorite alien.
*Grey Matter's orange eyes are reminiscent of those his classic continuity counterpart had in the original series theme song.
