Mr. Mucky (Ben 23: OV)

## Appearance

Mr. Mucky looks like Swampfire's original **Omniverse** design but in a blue color scheme. His body is aquamarine in color. The petals on his head and shoulders are aqua. The top of his head, where the tip of the petals is, is grey.

The Omnitrix symbol is located on his stomach.

## Powers and Abilities

Mr. Mucky has a high degree of chlorokinesis, being able to telepathically interface with plant life and manipulate their growth. Some plants have a brief green aura when he influences them. After "blossoming", Mr. Mucky will gain the ability to easily grow plants from the ground by simply raising his hand.
Mr. Mucky's body produces large amounts of highly flammable methane gas, which he has the ability to ignite in his palms similar to a flamethrower. Swampfire can aim his fire blasts with great precision, as Swampfire was able to free Kevin and Gwen from a cage without harming them by shooting a fireball. Mr. Mucky's fire blasts are powerful enough to harm Vaxasaurians and Sonorosians.

Mr. Mucky can generate seeds from his body that phase into or pierce into any ground or flooring before turning to vine tentacles strong enough to restrain a Highbreed and a Chimera Sui Generis.

Mr. Mucky's body structure allows him to walk straight through thin spaces such as the gaps between iron bars. When Swampfire was crushed under a large container, his body deformed into vines that burrowed through and then out of the ground to reform him instantly. In the same instance, Kevin punched Swampfire in the torso, resulting in his fist getting stuck in it until Swampfire punched him back. Additionally, Mr. Mucky is nearly impervious to physical harm and appears to be immune to laser bolts, as they simply passed right through Swampfire and seemed to tickle him.

Mr. Mucky is capable of regenerating and regrowing any damaged or destroyed body parts, allowing him to grow back lost limbs, holes in his body, or even his head. Swampfire was even able to re-grow and reform his body from remains when it got splattered to pieces.

Another method of regeneration involves reattaching detached or severed body parts. This is accomplished by manipulating his vine-like "veins" and tentacles to reach out and meld with the insides of the detached limb and return them to the body, allowing him to reconstitute automatically if damaged.

Mr. Mucky is able to extend his fingers and feet into long roots that can dig through rock.

After "blossoming", Mr. Mucky will gain the ability to grow vines with a flame tip from his hands and use them as whips, which are able to slice the plasma generated by Ball Weevil's species.

Aside from Earth plants, Mr. Mucky can use his telepathic plant interface with alien plant life, which was what allowed Swampfire to free Max from the Highbreed Tree Monster. When he "blossoms", his telepathic influence over plants will extend to sentient plant life, such as the Living Pumpkins from Anur Transyl.
Mr. Mucky is capable of limited flight through means of launching fire from his palms as jet propulsion, much like Charcoal-Man. He is also capable of breathing fire, as demonstrated by Swamps.

Mr. Mucky has enhanced strength, as Swampfire was able to push over a Highbreed Weather Array using leverage by turning his feet into roots running deep into the ground. He was even hold his own against Vilgax with his bare fists. However, he is physically weaker than Crystalsapiens, Tetramands, and Vaxasaurians.
Mr. Mucky is capable of jumping exceptionally high.

Mr. Mucky, despite being a humanoid plant, is resistant to cold temperatures.

Mr. Mucky is able to heal other people's wounds, as demonstrated when Swampfire reattached Reinrassig III's severed hand after it was cut off by a creature.
Mr. Mucky can generate vine-like tentacles from his back.

Mr. Mucky's body can generate a type of mud that sticks to everything but him, which Swampfire used to blind Negative Humungousaur, as the latter could not pull it off his eyes and had to change into Negative Big Chill to get rid of it.

Mr. Mucky's methane has a very pungent smell that is intolerable to some species like the Incurseans, which will make them retch and faint. Using his methane abilities, Mr. Mucky can produce "sleeping spores" that can render humans unconscious.

Mr. Mucky has rather strong teeth that are able to injure another Methanosian.

## Weaknesses

Similar to Big Bug's odor, Mr. Mucky's swampy stench can make it hard for him to hide from anybody or anything capable of smelling.

Mr. Mucky's fire attacks can be cancelled out by fire extinguishers and water generated by Orishan.

Mr. Mucky can be immobilized by ice, such as the ice breath of a Necrofriggian, though he can thaw himself out by igniting the methane in the palms of his hands.

Mr. Mucky can be harmed by electricity, such as that generated by a Conductoid.

Mr. Mucky's plants can be killed using liquid chemicals, such as a spray used by the Stalker.

Mr. Mucky's body heat can make it difficult for him to fight opponents that are attracted to heat, like reptiles.

If Ben turns into Mr. Mucky with a broken limb, his limb will be twisted and shriveled, and he will feel pain from it.

Mr. Mucky is unable to control sentient plants, such as the Plant Clones, let alone weeds until he "blossoms".
