Spitter (Universe 3008)

## Spitter

**Spitter** is the Omnitrix's DNA sample of a Scalapascan from the rainy planet of Scalapasc.

## Appearance

Spitter resembles a green, bulbous, humanoid pufferfish. He has three spikes sticking out at the top and bottom of his head, short and stubby legs, and a long tail. He has a wide mouth which is filled with pointed teeth, and his eyes are connected to the corners of his lips. He wears a pair of black pants that partly cover his stomach. He has yellowish-green eyes, dull-colored teeth, and his gums are the same hue of green as the outer side of his skin. The Omnitrix symbol is located on the mid-section of his stomach.

## Transformation Sequence

The transformation begins with the muscles in Ben's arm contorting and shaking as the Omnitrix is absorbed into Ben's hand. We zoom on his eye and with a quick flash we see Ben's body inflating and taking a greenish color as him temple distorts and his now bubbly yellow eyes merge with his lips. Spitter takes on a browbeat pose, with his cheeks inflated, ready to expectorate on his foes.

## Powers and Abilities

* Acidic Slime Spit - Spitter can unleash upon his foes streams of hot, acidic slime.
* Space Survivability - Being a Scalapascan, Spitter can survive on the outside of a spaceship with no suit needed, one clear example of this is when he went toe-to-toe with an Eelumilurean who was attacking the Pregnant Megalodoom's crew.
* Underwater Breathing - Spitter can remain submerged underwater for long periods of time with no problem.
* Body Inflation - He can inflate his body at will and unleash the air trapped within to propel himself around.
* Enhanced Durability - Spitter is rather resistant, even more so while inflated, reducing the amount of kinetic force received from a hit or strike.
* Enhanced Strength - Spitter has been shown to be able to fend-off larger opponents such as Animo's original alternate future counterpart.

## Weaknesses

* Fire Aversion - Fire is shown to cause great amounts of pain to Spitter.
* Unwilling Inflation Due To High Pressure - When under high pressure his body will inflate automatically against him will which can be a dissatvantage.
* Weak Speed And Stamina - Spitter cannot perform highly demanding physical feats such as running constantly for longer periods of time or get out of harm's way in time.
* Visual Aversion To Intense Light - Spitter's bulbous eyes cannot withstand intense amounts of light or else he may be rendered blind temporarily.
* Ineffective Spit - Spitter's acidic slime spit is essentially useless against a Pyronite's skin, a Nacrean's shell and various other materials, organic or otherwise, found throughout the universe.

### Ben 10

* In Sailing The Stars, Myaxx unlocked Spitter and sent out Ben to retrieve advanced cloaking tech from the Pregnant Megalodoom's crew under the false persona of "Bog". Ben remained as Spitter for the following day and a half.

* Prior to Ken 10, Ben 10,000 added Spitter's DNA to Ken's Omnitrix which he had made for his son's tenth birthday.

## Trivia

* Spitter is Ben's 22th alien.
* Spitter's DNA is stored within pod 93, on the second row of the left annex (P93-R2-LA).
	+ The code to unlock his DNA pod is 5QPNT3NC.
* Spitter is the transformation that Ben has stayed the longest as, approximately 17 hours.
* His signature catchphrase, "Aww spit", is a reference to Carl Johnson's (better known as CJ) infamous line from GTA: San Andreas, "Aww s#it, here we go again", albeit it is toned down, replacing "s#it" with "spit" as an allusion to his main power.
	+ Other such elements, traits and quirks were borrowed from CJ's characterization in GTA: SA and infixed into Spitter's character, such as him speaking in a "street smart" manner with a "hood" attitude and using (mildly) foul language. Furthermore, his debut episode has him as an inside man seeking to reclaim something from a gang of outlaws, similarly to the events CJ went through in SA.
* The name which he used to infiltrate the Pregnant Megalodoom's crew in Sailing The Stars, "Gob", is a reversed allonym and backwards spelled version of "Bog", his genetic donor's name.
	+ Gob also takes the meaning of a lump of viscous or slimy substance.

## Notes

1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 Within the Prime Universe's canon Spitter is identified as a Sphoeroid from the planet Scalpasc. Whereas the spelling of his homeworld was only slightly modified in order to make pronunciation easier i've decided to completely change the name of his species as i've felt dissatisfied with the moniker "Sphoeroid".
