Goop is the Omnitrix's DNA sample of a Polymorph from the planet Viscosia.[merch 1]
Appearance[]
Ben as Goop[]
Being a 200-pound single-celled organism[merch 2][DM 1] that is neither liquid nor solid but a colloidal suspension,[DM 2] Goop is a humanoid pile of goo that can take any shape at will. Goop has bright green eyes and an Anti-Gravity Projector that allows him to be mobile in Earth's gravity. His brain is spread throughout his body.[DM 3]
In Alien Force and Ultimate Alien, Goop wore the original Omnitrix/Ultimatrix symbol on his chest.
In Heroes United, the black outlines around Goop's eyes were thicker.
In Omniverse, Goop has a nose-like beak and an amoeba-like shape. His Anti-Gravity Projector has been redesigned and the Omnitrix symbol is on the top of it.
Albedo as Negative Goop[]
In Alien Force, Negative Goop looked exactly like Ben's Goop.
In Omniverse, Negative Goop looks mostly the same as Ben's Goop except his body, eyes, and the Ultimatrix on his Anti-Gravity Projector are recolored red.
Powers and Abilities[]
Goop's entire body is comprised of slime that is very bouncy and elastic. This gives him a wide and gangly range of motion, able to stretch his limbs very far to extend his grab reach, as demonstrated by Ultimate Kevin,[2] or the reach of his punches and kicks.[3][4] It also allows him to absorb all manner of impacts, useful for blocking opponents' attacks[5] or cushioning falling people.[6][7]
Goop has the power of shapeshifting, allowing him to stretch, bend, and deform himself into any shape with ease, ranging from a pseudopod-protruding glob of goo to a stretchy, bouncing ball and everything in between.[merch 1] He can use this to dodge attacks;[3] increase mobility;[8] wrap around enemies;[9] slip underneath doors or through small spaces;[10] and return to his normal shape if he is ever deformed or separated.[11] Using his shapeshifting, Goop can mimic the shape of simple objects well enough to fool opponents, provided they don't look too closely.[merch 2][merch 3] Goop can also produce multiple slime tentacles from his body to grab multiple opponents.[9]
Goop can produce additional slime to regenerate,[9] make himself bigger, or have a stronger kinetic impact.[8] He can also change his slime's density depending on his desire,[DM 4] and the density of Goop's slime can increase to the point of breaking a metal pipe by the sheer force of the slime's impact.[12]
Due to being made of slime, Goop can hold objects[13] or individuals inside his body to protect them.[8] He can also wrap himself around someone to bind them in place.[14][12]
Goop is capable of making himself acidic at will. His acid is able to dissolve a large variety of materials.[15][16][10][17]
Goop is able to generate and expel slime from any part of his body for use as offensive weaponry,[merch 1] even as spit despite having no visible mouth.[18][5] The slime he generates can either be highly acidic[19] or adhesive.[18] He can shoot it in continuous streams similar to a water hose[19] or in blob-like projectiles.[18] If he needs to, Goop is also able to neutralize his own acid.[5]
Goop possesses enhanced strength, as he could wrestle Magister Prior Gilhil, someone who could easily overpower an armored Osmosian.[14] He can also increase the impact power of his attacks by stretching himself backwards and using the recoil to boost his momentum.[3]
Due to his body's incredible elasticity, Goop is extremely resilient, and his brain being spread across his body makes it so that he feels no pain from most physical attacks. This allows him to survive lethal falls without a scratch[20] and be bisected numerous times.[9]
Goop's slime is hydrophobic, allowing him to survive underwater, as seen when he hid in the sewer to ambush Ben.[12] Goop can additionally survive being atomized across an entire planet's worth of water volume, such as he did with Piscciss. Moreover, he was able to generate enough additional goop to color all the planet's water green.[21]
Goop can survive in intense heat, such as the environment of his home planet Viscosia.[merch 2]
Goop can pass under an enemy's foot in order to make them slip.[22][9]
Goop can move his eyes all throughout his body.[DJW 1] He can also merge his eyes into one.[1]
Equipment[]
Goop's Anti-Gravity Projector allows him to be fully mobile on foreign planets like Earth by generating a corrective field of gravity around him. It also enhances his shapeshifting capabilities, such as assisting in reconstituting himself. If Goop loses his Anti-Gravity Projector, the Omnitrix/Ultimatrix can immediately generate a new one.[DM 5]
Thanks to his Anti-Gravity Projector, Goop is capable of high-speed flight and levitation, being able to easily evade Trombipulor's shots.[11]
Goop's Anti-Gravity Projector has enough strength to pull continental-like masses of goop together, such as the goop-infected waters of Piscciss.[21]
Goop can control and launch his Anti-Gravity Projector at enemies to attack them due to the edges of it being razor-sharp.[12]
Weaknesses[]
Goop is limited to his Anti-Gravity Projector controlling his body, making it a vulnerable target for opponents. They can take advantage of this weakness in various ways, such as grabbing it to forcefully pull Goop back[12] or shooting it with a Positron Blaster, which causes Goop to spin rapidly and explode into multiple parts.[3] Additionally, the Anti-Gravity Projector can also simply be switched off.[16]
If Goop's Anti-Gravity Projector is separated from him or deactivated, Goop's body collapses into an puddle,[16][3] only capable of slowly slithering around[23] until it's reactivated or he recollects it.[18][23]
Despite being able to survive being atomized, Goop will start to hurt if he is, at the very least, spun very quickly in a centrifuge and beginning to separate into his constituent compounds.[23]
Goop is vulnerable to being super heated and vaporized by an Evolved Galvan's energy beams.[24]
Goop is vulnerable to strong winds, as shown when he got sucked into Trombipulor's nose[11] or blown away by a Geochelone Aerios.[4]
Goop is vulnerable to being hypnotized.[DJW 2]
Goop can be affected by a Nemuina's sleeping dust.[DJW 3]

Trivia[]
- Goop is one of the five aliens who escaped from the original Omnitrix; the others are Way Big, Ghostfreak, Chromastone, and Spidermonkey.
- Ben believes Goop's high-pitched voice prevents others from taking him seriously.[9]
- The source of Goop's voice has changed throughout his appearances:
- In The Gauntlet, his voice came from his Anti-Gravity Projector.
- In his subsequent Alien Force appearances and Ultimate Alien, it came from himself.
- In Omniverse, it comes from his Anti-Gravity Projector again.
- When Goop spoke in Blukic and Driba Go to Mr. Smoothy's, a crackle of static was heard at the end of each line as if he was speaking through a walkie-talkie.
- Unlike other aliens, during nighttime scenes, Goop's eyes are shaded.
- In the Portuguese dub, in certain episodes like Darkstar Rising, Goop does not conventionally shout his name, he just shouts random grunts.
- Goop's Anti-Gravity Projector isn't part of his Polymorph biology; he just has one due to the difference of gravity between Viscosia and Earth.[DM 3] The projector is created using the same mechanism in which nanomachines break down Ben's clothing during his transformations.[DM 7]
- Goop's Anti-Gravity Projector became a substitute for the missing Anti-Gravity Multiplier on the planet of Piscciss.[21]
- It was Derrick J. Wyatt's idea to put Goop's Omnitrix symbol on his Anti-Gravity Projector in Omniverse. In his first drawing, the Omnitrix symbol was supposed to be floating inside Goop.[DJW 4]
- Goop was originally supposed to appear in It's Not Easy Being Gwen to fight Dr. Animo's Mutant Frogs during Emily's piano recital.[JHK 1]
- During the pre-production stage of Alien Force, Goop had concept art drawn by Eric Canete.[EC 1]
- Derrick believed that each alternate counterpart of Goop has a different color and flavor: Ben Prime's Goop is green/kiwi-flavored, Negative Goop is red/raspberry-flavored, Muck Amuck is blue/blue-raspberry-flavored,[DJW 5] Bad Goop is mint green/licorice-flavored, Mad Goop is orange/sour orange-flavored, Nega Goop is grey/black pepper-flavored, Benzarro's Goop is purple/grape-flavored,[DJW 6] Argitrix Timeline Argit's Goop is peach/peach-flavored,[DJW 7] and Gwen 10's is pink/strawberry-flavored.[DJW 8][DJW 9]
