Glitch

Glitch is a fusion hybrid of Ben's and Upgrade's DNA.
==Appearance==
Glitch had Ben's overall appearance but with Mechamorphic physiology. His hands had five fingers each, more closely resembling Upgrade's hands rather than Ben's.
After merging with Ben's go-kart, Glitch was now a black and purple race-car that changes appearance based on the current alien sitting in him.
When fused with Bootleg, his circuitry became blue, his green lights turn red, and his wheels turn into tentacles.
When fused with Bootleg's remains and Shock Rock's Omni-Enhanced energy, Glitch becomes Franken Freak. He gains two large arms that resembles Shock Rock's and a face with green eyes and a railing as a mouth. His forehead has Bootleg's head and eye, and his main body is black with blue circuitry patterns.

==Personality==
Compared to his human donor, Glitch was far more patient and way more serious, especially with the High Override's influence on Shock Rock. He was shown in ways to be much more intelligent in comparison to his pure human counterpart. Due to being created inside the Omnitrix, he had a far larger amount of knowledge of it, but still retained Ben's playful, headstrong, and argumentative nature. After merging with the go-kart, he spoke with a tone like that of a GPS.
==History==
===Ben 10===
In Omni-Tricked: Part 4, Glitch was created/born when Ben used Upgrade to enhance the Omnitrix. The watch rebooted but caused a malfunction, a massive feedback loop ravaged and destroyed Upgrade's DNA pod, to survive, the Galvanic Mechamorph DNA fused with Ben's Human DNA, resulting in the creation/birth of Glitch. 
Glitch replaced the destroyed Galvanic Mechamorph pod with the Fulmini's, But unfortunately, there was an unforeseen side effect. Every time Ben turn into Shock Rock, the Fulmini pod would sent a signal pulse back to Shock Rock's home world: Fulmas II. Glitch created security systems in order to prevent the High Override and the Fulmini from coming through within the Omnitrix.
Glitch made his formal debut in Innervasion Part 3: Strange Bedfellows, where he saved Ben and Vilgax from the Omnitrix's security systems.
In Innervasion Part 4: Mind Over Alien Matter, Glitch and Vilgax formulated a plan to stop the Fulmini by rebooting the Omnitrix. However, Shock Rock got brainwashed by the High Override and Vilgax got banished to the Null Void following a failed attempt to betray Ben and Glitch.
In Innervasion Part 5: High Override, Glitch fused with the Tennyson boxcar, allowing him to carry Ben, Gwen, and Max out of the Omnitrix. However, because of the reboot to the Omni-Core, Glitch became trapped in the boxcar and locked in vehicular form. Glitch was later seen giving Gwen and Ben a ride in his upgraded boxcar form, therefore joining the Tennysons as a new addition to the family.
In LaGrange Muraille, Glitch was called up by Ben to assist him in defeating LaGrange and Vin Ethanol, though he got injured in the process. He also displays his ability to interact with alien DNA while being driven by Heatblast.
In Franken-Fight, Glitch drove Ben and Gwen around before running into Kevin. Glitch drove Gwen to safety while Humungousaur and Crystalfist fought. Glitch was then merged with Bootleg and went out of control after being exposed to Shock Rock's Omni-Enhanced energy. After Shock Rock and Bootleg team up to stop it, Glitch returned to normal.
In Buggy Out, Glitch helped Rath catch up with Hot Shot after he stole the Rustbucket. When Hot Shot hijacked Glitch, Forever Knight appeared to exact vengeance for Kevin's betrayal. Glitch returned to normal after Heatblast and Hot Shot drove off Forever Knight.
In Mutiny for the Bounty, Glitch drives around a forest with Ben until he is captured by Tetrax. After Ben helps Tetrax defeat Kraab and SixSix, Glitch was released by the Subsapien bounty hunter.
In Wheels of Fortune, Glitch helped Humungousaur and Rush chase down LaGrange all around the world. Glitch started a job as a Rideshare App.
In Vin Diagram, Glitch helped Ben in a race with Vin Ethanol and Bootleg before the latter decided to harm people. He also helped Gwen and Rath catch up to Bootleg before he switched to Bashmouth and started wreaking havoc with Rath across the racetrack. Gwen and Glitch teamed up with Vin to stop them by luring them with meat.
Glitch was mentioned in Tales from the Omnitrix when he was taking Grandpa Max out for a spin, telling Max the funniest joke he ever heard making Max forget about the keys to the Rustbucket in the Glitch's ignition. Max notices his keys are gone so he has to wait for Glitch to get back because he is still doing his Rideshare job.
In Players of the Lost Park, Glitch drove the Tennyson Family to the Lost Park. Where he finds out that the Tennyson Family has been hypnotized by Zombozo using a machine. Glitch manages to destroy the machine but is highjacked by Zombozo but he quickly overcomes him and saves Gwen and Grandpa Max from an unstable ride. 
In Ben 10 Versus the Universe: The Movie Glitch is revealed to be able to turn himself into a battle armor which he intended that Ben would wear, but instead, Kevin wears him after losing his Antitrix. Later during the fight with Vilgax as Alien V, Glitch is destroyed by him but his body was retrieved by Phil.

Being a Galvanic Mechamorph hybrid, Glitch 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 merges, he upgrades the technology, making the technology he possesses far more advanced and futuristic and causing new features to form on it.
One notable ability is being able to maintain the Omnitrix from within and wield it as offense or defense. Glitch can manipulate the internal structure to provide cover and can activate the Omnitrix's internal defenses.Innervasion Part 4: Mind Over Alien Matter
After fusing with the boxcar, he can now turn into other vehicle forms based on Omnitrix and Antitrix aliens if either Ben or Kevin are in the driver's seat. Glitch accomplishes this through his internal Omnitrix.
Thanks to an app created by Phil, Ben is able to call Glitch to drive to his location using his phone.LaGrange Muraille
Glitch can absorb and redirect endothermic and exothermic energy.
==Weaknesses==

FF (421).png|Vulnerability to Electricity
As he is part-Galvanic Mechamorph, Glitch is weak against electricity (being living metal) and sensitive to electromagnetic pulses and magnetic fields.
Glitch can be hijacked against his will in his current form, specifically by Kevin.
With Glitch being trapped in Go-Kart form, his mobility is now limited, although he can separate from the Go-KartBen 10 Versus the Universe: The Movie but can't assume his original humanoid form for any reason since the Omnitrix's reboot.
Glitch can be infected by a combination of Fulmini energy and mutated Mechamorph physiology, which can cause him to lose control of himself and go berserk.Franken-Fight
