Chromastone (Ken 10)

## Chromastone

**Chromastone** (alternatively spelled as **ChromaStone**) is the Omnitrix's DNA sample of a Crystalsapien from the planet Petropia.

## Appearance | edit source

Chromastone is a silicon-based 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.

Chromastone wore the original Omnitrix/Ultimatrix on his chest.

## Powers and Abilities | edit source

Chromastone has the ability to allow many types of energy, such as lasers, electricity, mana, and radiation to phase through his body without harm.

Chromastone can absorb and channel energy into ultraviolet beams powerful enough to melt through a truck trailer and destroy an entire turret. He can fire these beams from either his hands or from the nine shards on his body and can project these beams as either energy blasts or projectiles.

Chromastone can control the intensity of his energy attacks, and the amount of power his ultraviolet beams have depends on how powerful the energy from an opponent's attack is. For instance, when the Dragon attacked Chromastone with its powerful energy blast, the latter absorbed it and subdued the Dragon with a powerful wave of ultraviolet energy. Similarly, when Gwen gave Chromastone a large amount of mana for him to absorb, he was able to shoot powerful energy blasts at Dagon.

Chromastone is able to allow energy attacks to simply bounce off his body instead of absorbing them.

Chromastone can free himself from mana force fields simply by touching them (absorbing the mana). He can also produce energy shields of his own for extra defense.

Chromastone can use his energy to dissolve an Arachnichimp's webs should he be ensnared by them.

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 can project a beam of light from his hands for illumination purposes. He can also shoot his energy blasts without absorbing anything, but only to a limited extent.

Chromastone is capable of jumping exceptionally high.

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 possesses enhanced strength, allowing him to overpower stronger opponents, such as a Techadon-enhanced Cash, with his bare hands. Technically speaking, he is physically stronger than Methanosians.

Chromastone is capable of flight, and can leave behind an ultraviolet energy trail while flying.

Due to him being made of silicon-based crystals, Chromastone is immune to a Xenocite merging with him.

Chromastone can survive in the vacuum of space, as demonstrated by Sugilite when he was traveling to what was left of Petropia.

If a big enough light source were to shine through him, Chromastone can create a big, beautiful rainbow in the sky.

## Weaknesses | edit source

Although Chromastone is highly durable, he is not completely indestructible, as he can be shattered by extreme force, such as when he was destroyed by Vilgax using his sword.

Chromastone is unable to absorb energy when he is either not expecting it or too weak to do so. He is also unable to absorb electricity while it is being conducted by water.

Chromastone has a limit to how much energy he can absorb at once, as he once tried to absorb all the mana energy of Charmcaster's machine but was overwhelmed to the point of almost crumbling apart.

In addition to Chromastone having a limit to how much mana he can absorb, he also cannot absorb the energy released by an Annihilargh because he would be instantly disintegrated if he tried.

Magic can harm Chromastone, as shown when he was incapacitated by two of Gwen's spells.

Chromastone's ultraviolet beams are ineffective against Vilgax's sword and the extra-dimensional field of the Contumelia's machine. They can also be absorbed by a Conductoid.

Despite his enhanced strength, there is a limit to how strong Chromastone is, as seen when he failed to punch through the Contumelia's machine's extra-dimensional barrier. Technically speaking, Chromastone is physically weaker than Vaxasaurians.

Chromastone can be controlled by Vladats via their Corrupturas.

Chromastone cannot absorb gooey substances, such as the plasma generated by members of Ball Weevil's species.
