Grey Genius

**Grey Genius** is the Omnitrix's DNA sample of a Galvan from the planet Galvan Prime.

## Appearance

### Ben as Grey Genius

Grey Genius is a grey-skinned, frog-like, bipedal alien that is only four inches tall with large green eyes, which have rectangular pupils and horizontal eyelids.

In the original series, Grey Genius wore a white jumpsuit with a thin vertical black stripe down the front, his eyes were yellowish-green, his forehead had a larger version of the jumpsuit's stripe, and the original Omnitrix symbol was on his back.

In **Ultimate Alien**, Grey Genius looked exactly the same as before, except his skin was slightly lighter, his eyes were green and he wore the Ultimatrix symbol on his chest.

In **Omniverse**, Grey Genius now has a green jumpsuit with a black belt. His suit collar is now black, and the stripe on his head and jumpsuit are no longer present. He wears black, fingerless gloves with a green rectangle on the back. His neck is slightly longer, and his Omnitrix symbol has returned to his back.

11-year-old Grey Genius in **Omniverse** looks exactly the same as he did in the original series except his collar is black, his eyes are green, and his skin tone is slightly different.

### Gwen as Grey Genius

Gwen as Grey Genius had Gwen's hair and more oval-shaped eyes, with much smaller pupils. She wore a light blue jumpsuit with dark blue sleeves, and the Omnitrix symbol was on her back. She lacked the stripes Ben's Grey Genius has.

### Ken as Grey Genius

Ken's Grey Genius looked the same as 10-year-old Grey Genius in the original series.

## Powers and Abilities

Grey Genius's small size belies his great calculative and technical intellect. He can create complicated machines from spare parts, understand the function of any device at a glance, and make sophisticated repairs to complex machines (such as a warp-drive engine).

Grey Genius's intellect serves as a problem solver and analytical help in difficult situations. This allows Grey Genius to think more strategically when brute force is inefficient. In fact, Grey Genius is smart enough to know how to unlock the original Omnitrix's Master Control, something only Ken has demonstrated.

Grey Genius's brain capacity makes Ben smarter about things he has never even seen before, like Kraab's alien circuitry.

Grey Genius can sometimes manipulate living things by stimulating certain parts of their nervous system if such beings can be controlled by external stimuli.

Grey Genius's size allows him to squeeze into small spaces and can climb walls due to microscopic pads on his skin. He also has sharp teeth that can cause pain to those he bites, as well as slimy skin that makes him difficult to grab.

Grey Genius was the weakest alien in the original series due to his minuscule size, but he compensates with his intellect and efficient technological and calculative skills.

Grey Genius's intelligence is not limited to technology and biology, as he is smart in general. Even if he does not know something, he can learn it very quickly.
Grey Genius appears to be stronger than he looks, as he was strong enough to move a cleaner's bucket with mops in it and break a coolant pipe to freeze the Vreedle Brothers.

Grey Genius can breathe underwater due to having gills, making him amphibious.

Grey Genius has a long prehensile tongue, owing to his insectivore nature, as demonstrated with Blukic. As a Galvan, he also possesses a 'pre-brain' which deals with all basic bodily functions.

Grey Genius was able to understand Pyxi's speech.

## Weaknesses

Grey Genius's small size makes him unsuitable for physical battle, so he must outsmart his enemies in a fight. Animals like dogs and cats can be a problem, as they may see Grey Genius as a chew toy or food to them.

Despite possessing immense intelligence, Grey Genius can still make miscalculations, as his attempt to upgrade the Rust Bucket's air conditioner caused it to overheat instead, incapacitating the vehicle.

According to himself, Grey Genius sometimes does not know what he is talking about.

Grey Genius does not know everything, as seen when he (initially) did not know which galaxy his species is from.

Being a Galvan, Grey Genius would be vulnerable to being trapped by a member of Omnivoracious's species if they were not extinct.
