Official BiographyHome World: Kinet
A world of violent electrical storms rapidly orbiting the sun, everything on Kinet is accelerated. Days are compressed into minutes and lifetimes are spread over weeks. Due to the ever-changing nature of their environment, Kinetan society is forever in flux. Although the inhabitants remain constant in their highly charged hyperactive nature, it is said, like lightning, that no return visitor to this world ever experiences the same place twice.

Species: Kineceleran

Elfin in appearance, with long hair, blue skin, pointed ears and oversized feet, Kinecelerans live their lives in a constant rush. No sooner are they born than they rapidly approach adulthood with little time to stop and ponder the consequences. Gangly and naturally awkward, Kinecelerans are speedsters, able to reach speeds of more than 500 Earth miles per hour. This extreme speed comes from manipulating friction, making them able to run up sheer walls and create huge stores of static electricity that can be re-directed, often with devastating results. While Kinecelerans can run fast, they're certainly not warriors. They are not built for battle nor do they have the disposition to stop and strategize. Kinecelerans often must learn from mistakes such as the fact that they can't run on non-solid ground like mud, ice and especially water (which causes a major shock from the static buildup). At the height of their velocity the most adept Kinecelerans are able to enter the mythical "speed zone", an entirely different temporal dimension where the rest of the world stops and reality takes on different rules. The biggest threats to Kinecelerans are magnets and charged pulses, which can completely throw them off course, causing them to lose footing and spin perilously out of control.

Unofficial Biography

XLR8 is from the lizard-like alien race of the planet Kinet, and he is known to have lightning-quick reflexes and the ability to reach speeds of over 500 MPH. His speed mainly comes from manipulating friction and momentum, allowing him to run over almost any surface, including non-solid and slanted ones. His hands have been modified to act as slicers, enabling him to cut through things. XLR8 may be weaker than the other alien forms, but his speed makes up for it. XLR8 has trouble in the presence of strong magnetic fields, as they can disrupt his sensitive nervous system. XLR8 has made twenty-eight appearances in the Ben 10 Series.

Omnitrix Version Modifications

XLR8, the version in the Omnitrix, has several modifications, which seem to prevent him from unwilling releasing excess static electricity. These include his helmet, visor, and wheeled feet. He is also able to run on slippery surfaces and even water with ease, in contrast to the rest of his species. Battle suit he is equipped with allows him to run on non-solid surfaces (mud, water, etc). He also has a facemask, which allows him to run at high-speeds without things hitting him in the face.

Future Alien Description

XLR8 is now taller by about 2ft he also has grey acceleration patterns on his arms. He also has a more black color scheme covering his body. His tail is black with acceleration symbols on them. Instead of blue stripes, they are grey. Unlike ten year old Ben's version, this one includes a chin. While Ken Tennyson and Ben's ten year old version doesn't have one as of yet. The adult XLR8 seems to become faster when traveling.
