Notes
- The Omnitrix's Basalt representative is named Rocks, who first appeared in the live-action stage production Ben 10: Power of the Omnitrix. Despite having never appeared on-screen, it is confirmed that he has been unlocked and used off-screen during Omniverse.[1]
- The name of this species comes from a type of igneous rock.
- A Basalt's powers share some similarities with the Mortal Kombat character Tremor.
- According to Duncan Rouleau, the Omnitrix from the Ben 10 reboot contains Basalt DNA. Therefore, Rocks is one of the countless aliens whose DNA pod was glimpsed in the episode "Innervasion Part 5: High Override".
