Alien DNA Sample 001 - "Heatblast"

Species: Pyronite
Debut Episode: Episode Debut: "And Then There Were 10"
Current Biography:

After initially obtaining the Omnitrix, Ben messed around with the buttons until he triggered Heatblast. Getting carried away playing with his fire ball technique he caused a forest fire, spreading panic until Grandpa Max and Gwen located him.

Using his power to cause a second fire to starve the initial outbreak of oxygen under Max's instruction he managed to contain the damage. 

Ever since this initial use Heatblast has become one of Ben's favored aliens, being one of the ones he uses most also makes him one of the few he unlocks the true potential of later down the line.

We next see Ben using Heatblast to save a mother and son from a burning building. This shows clearly that Ben has progressed as he had learned one of Heatblast's alien abilities to absorb fire into himself, rather than causing the fire to grow greater.

After stopping the arsonist thieves in their escape however Heatblast times out and leaves Ben to face the criminals alone until the police arrive at the scene to arrest them


Learned Powers:
Ben has learned basic fireball throwing as Heatblast, with reasonable accuracy, being able to hit trees on target over a medium range, and a moving car from a long distance. While fairly small they packed enough fire power to cause a large scale forest fire and a major car crash.

Heatblast has also been shown to be able to absorb fire from around him, first shown when rescuing a family from a burning building.

Shown Weaknesses:
Heatblast if put out will lose his ability to fire his heat projectiles until he relights, this can be done easily with a fire extinguisher.

Ben's lack of control over his own fire once shot could be seen as a weakness, however his new ability to absorb fire counteracts this somewhat.
