### Ben as Upgrade

## Weapons and Abilities

Upgrade is not completely solid. 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 can use his internal nanotechnology to merge with or control any technology within reach by spreading 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, hence his name. It was shown in *Road Trip Rumble* that Upgrade can reconfigure technology to suit for any situation, like transform the Rust Bucket into a battle armor with an arsenal of heavy plasma weapons. Occasionally he can merge with organic beings, as long as there is machinery integrated within them, such as with Rojo and Rex or beings that are mechanical in nature like a Chronosapien.

In Battle Ready, Upgrade can make lasers with his hands.

Upgrade also possesses enhanced strength as shown in *Be Afraid of the Dark*, when he is trying to overpower Viktor in space.

Due being made of liquid metal, Upgrade is able to regenerate himself.

As shown in *Side Effects*, Upgrade can form energy constructs such as a energy spike.
