Frankenstrike (BotO)

## Appearance

### Ben as Frankenstrike

Frankenstrike has an appearance similar to the classic depiction of Boris Karloff's version of Victor Frankenstein's monster. He has a muscular body with a human nose, black hair with sideburns, and a pair of bolts on each side of his neck that are green in the crease. He wears metal gloves with his fingers showing and metal pants with lines on them with glowing green triangle dashes in the middle. While he does have two tower-shaped conductor coil-like generators on his back, they are not machines. Rather, these generators are metallic-organic growths.

In *Omniverse*, Frankenstrike's hair is shorter, lacking bangs and a mullet while retaining the evident sideburns. His skin has several uneven seams, combining grayish-yellow with darker grey. He also has large pink scars across his chest and right arm. Though he retains the bolts on his neck, the bolts on his chest have been relocated to his back. He has also gained more bolts, one on each shoulder and elbow. The bolts are bronze and resemble flathead screws. His belt is green with white stripes and bolts in them, one of these bolts being a buckle. His turrets are green with screws on them, and the coils are white and feature green bulbs at the tips. His gloves are green with bolts on their knuckles, his pants are a greenish-black color, and his "boots" are copper with three green slits in them. Frankenstrike's teeth are now yellowed and uneven, and bear out when he speaks. His Omnitrix symbol is embedded in the flesh of his right pectoral, with several deep scars protruding from where it resides.

### Benzarro as Frankenstrike

Benzarro's Frankenstrike looks identical to Ben Prime's Frankenstrike in *Omniverse*, except his skin is recolored to resemble Benzarro's and his eyes, back generators, bolts, belt, and Omnitrix symbol are recolored purple.

### Nega Ben as The Electric Corpse

The Electric Corpse has an appearance similar to the classic depiction of Boris Karloff's version of Victor Frankenstein's monster. The generators on his back aren't machines, but metallic-organic growths.

The Electric Corpse's hair is short, lacking bangs and a mullet, and has evident sideburns. His skin has several uneven seams, combining grayish white skin and bluish grey skin. He also has large pinkish-purple scars across his chest and right arm.

The Electric Corpse has purple bolts on his neck, shoulders, elbows, and back resembling a fathead screw with a grayish-purple light in the crease. His belt is purple with grayish-white stripes, which have bolts of the same color in them, and another bolt as a buckle. His turrets are purple with screws on them, and the coils are grayish-purple and feature grey bulbs at the tips.

The Electric Corpse's gauntlets are greyish-purple with bolts on their knuckles, his pants are a purplish-black color, and his "boots" are purple with three grey slits in them. His teeth are purple and uneven, and bear out.

The Electric Corpse's Negatrix symbol is colored gray and embedded in the flesh of his right pectoral, with several deep scars protruding from where it resides.

## Powers and Abilities

Frankenstrike has an electromagnetic body with two conductor coils on his back that allow him to generate and manipulate green lightning and electromagnetism.

Frankenstrike can emit powerful lightning bolts and emit magnetism from his hands or his feet, allowing him to attach to metal structures.

Frankenstrike can emit his lightning in the form of waves that can travel along flat surfaces.

Frankenstrike can alternatively shoot concentrated beams of electricity.

Frankenstrike possesses enhanced strength, as he was able to punch through a Techadon robot and knock its arm off. He is also strong enough to carry an Appoplexian over his shoulders.

Frankenstrike has enhanced jumping, as shown when he was able to jump and hold onto a high ladder when waiting to ambush Phil.

Frankenstrike is durable enough to withstand being blasted by one of Phil's electric blasts, as well as having enhanced reflexes, as he was able to dodge the same blasts easily.

Frankenstrike can enhance his physical attacks by giving them an electrical charge.

Like all Anur System aliens, Frankenstrike is immune to the effects of Corrodium and can see in the dark.

Frankenstrike can survive in the vacuum of space.

Despite his claims, Frankenstrike is actually quite fast, as demonstrated when Lightning Volt was able to keep up with Rath.

Frankenstrike has a form of technokinesis by connecting himself to machines with his conductor coils to control them. He can do so with his electricity as well.

Frankenstrike is resistant against extreme heat and immune to an Anodite's mana attacks, as demonstrated by Viktor.

## Weaknesses

Frankenstrike can be harmed by the impact of another Transylian's electrical attacks, as shown when he blasted Dr. Viktor with a charge strong enough to send him flying into a Null Void portal.

The two generators on Frankenstrike's shoulders are the source of his electricity, which means opponents like Phil can absorb his electricity through them.

Frankenstrike is unable to fit through small or tight spaces.

Frankenstrike has a durability limit, as his arm hurt after he was thrown onto the ground by Phil.

Frankenstrike can be controlled and hypnotized by Vladats via their Corrupturas, as demonstrated by Viktor and many other Transylian residents of Anur Transyl.

Frankenstrike can easily be scared by Toepick's species.

## Trivia

* Frankenstrike's appearance is based off of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein's monster.
* Frankenstrike's placeholder name "Benvicktor" was assigned to him by the credits for *Be Afraid of the Dark* and toys during the original series. Therefore, Frankenstrike is one of the four aliens whose working name had Ben's name in it, the other three being Blitzwolfer, Snare-oh, and Nanomech.
	+ In *Omniverse*, the name "Benvicktor" was replaced with Frankenstrike. In fact, Ben came up with Frankenstrike's name when he was 11 years old.
* In the original series, Frankenstrike was considered to be Ben's second smartest alien. As such, he was credited as one of the aliens Ben 10,000 used to build Ken's Omnitrix. This was retconned in *Omniverse*, as hyper-intelligence is not a common trait among Transylians. Therefore, Ben does not become any smarter as Frankenstrike.
* Despite all of his electrokinetic abilities, Derrick J. Wyatt states that Frankenstrike cannot absorb electricity.
* When Frankenstrike finishes his transformation in Omniverse, he often slams his forearms together in a manner reminiscent to Hanna-Barbera's Frankenstein Jr.
* Similar to Arctiguana, Snare-oh, Murk Upchuck, and Buzzshock, Frankenstrike appeared in *Omniverse*, but he did not appear in *A New Dawn*.
* Frankenstrike is one of five aliens featured in *Omniverse* who generate green electricity; the others being Upgrade, Buzzshock, Brainstorm, and Nanomech.
	+ Unlike the others, however, Frankenstrike's bio-electricity discharge is naturally colored green for other Transylians.
