Ben 10

Four Arms

Four Arms

Four Arms is the Omnitrix’s DNA sample of a tetramand, a warrior race of red, ultra-durable, ultra-strong aliens identified by their immense stature and four arms. Ben first transforms into Four Arms in the second episode to fight a mutated creation of Dr. Animo and uses it frequently as one of his most common alien forms, even as a teen in Ultimate Alien and Omniverse. Initially the primary ‘brick’ alien, his role is later shared with Humungousaur, though each has unique advantages. Four Arms serves as a benchmark for strength in the first four seasons, indicating serious threats if overpowered. While primarily relying on brute force, he demonstrates skill in hand-to-hand combat, enhanced by his extra arms.
