Shardshoulders

**Shardshoulders** is the Omnitrix's DNA sample of a Petrosapien Subsapien from the planet Petropia.

## Appearance

Shardshoulders is a silicon-based life form. His body is composed of durable pale green crystals. He sports two crystal shards on his back and has a sharp point on his head. He wears a uniform which is black with a yellow "V" stripe on the middle of his torso.

In *Don't Laze Me, Bro*, Shardshoulders grew the crystal formation on his head so that it resembled a pompadour and wore a red bandanna around it. His outfit was also decorated with three yellow upside down triangles forming a vertical fast forward symbol on each side of his legs.

In *Ye Olde Laser Duel*, Shardshoulders wore a green vest with blue orbs on his chest and shoulders over his regular uniform, as well as a fake brown mustache.

Shardshoulders wears the Omnitrix symbol on his chest.

## Powers and Abilities

Shardshoulders's body is composed of extremely thick organic pale green crystals. He has the ability to manipulate the position of atoms of his physiology at will, allowing him to form his limbs into diamond weapons such as blades and bludgeons. Moreover, he can control all the crystals he generates, to the point that he can make them explode or lift them off the ground. He can fire crystal shards sequentially out of his hands and can explode his body parts into crystalline formations, as well as make crystal constructs grow from his body, the latter of which he used to protect Gwen from a falling tree by making large crystalline spikes quickly grow on his back and then retract again. He can also create crystals immune to sound attacks.

Shardshoulders can make monstrous and large clusters of crystals, conjuring walls and forming crystal shields and ramps. He can also generate crystals from the ground at a distance, can reshape his projectiles into limited shapes, and can also form gaping hands to capture enemies. He can also create different objects out of his crystals, such as an anchor on a chain, a crystal board to ride on, as well as boomerang-like throwing weapons, as demonstrated by Tetrax.

Shardshoulders is capable of encasing enemies in crystals, and can create crystals inside of objects and cause them to spike out.

Shardshoulders's crystalline body resembles a living prism, allowing him to deflect and absorb most energy beams and render weapons similar to lasers useless by simply refracting. Similarly, rays generated by dimensional transporter devices will reflect off of Shardshoulders's body.

Shardshoulders has inhuman physical abilities, enough to easily able to overpower Vilgax in a one-on-one brawl.

Shardshoulders is quite strong, being able to drag a cage with a Gracklflint, hold open Slamworm's mouth and break his own crystals. He can also dig very well into solid surfaces such as the floor of a building by turning his arms into sharp spikes to pierce the ground, seen when he dug up the Corrodium.

Due to the natural density of crystal, Shardshoulders is extremely durable to most weaponry and physical impacts, as he withstood being punched from Galvan Prime all the way to Galvan B by Malgax. This incident also shows that Shardshoulders can survive in the vacuum of space.

Shardshoulders is resistant to fire and heat, such as that generated by a Pyronite, much like an ordinary diamond.

Because he is made out of organic crystals, Shardshoulders is immune to aging. Therefore, he is impervious to time rays generated by a Chronosapien or a Chronian, as diamonds do not age. Ben learned this when being saved from Eon's time rays by Ultimate Ben using Shardshoulders's powers.

Shardshoulders can regenerate, but to a limited extent. He can also extend his arms, which allows him to propel himself upwards by pushing against the ground.

Shardshoulderss can manipulate and control life energy, the very substance of magic itself. By means of this pink/magenta-colored energy source, Shardshoulderss can generate energy through blasts, streams, waves or bolts or create shields, barriers, ropes, chains, stepping stones, and other energy constructs (from battering rams to magic weapons). The size, complexity, and strength of these constructs is limited only by the Shardshoulders's experience in wielding such energy.

He can also absorb mana from other living things, and the more mana an Shardshoulders draws in, the more powerful that Shardshoulders becomes. Powerful Shardshoulderss can even tamper with the mana constructs of others who are not as powerful as him. Spells and incantations are another way Shardshoulders's can express his powers. Shardshoulderss can apparently manipulate mana to a far greater degree when not using his crystalline powers.

## Weaknesses

Shardshoulders can crack and shatter if impacted with enough force or exposed to strong sonic vibrations and might even fall unconscious.

While Shardshoulders can regenerate limbs, there is a limit to how much damage he can recover from.

The two shards on his back can also leave him stuck on a wall or on other surfaces that he gets knocked into.

Since his body is made of diamond, he can sink in water.
