Revision as of 01:05, 19 April 2021

"The gun-wielder. A deadly military force. While Remnant 1 stood a warrior to the people of Argen, the Kingslayer, the master of the blades, Remnant 2 stood a soldier. Efficiency and battle, through countless trials as a cybernetic soldier to ASCENSION, Benjamin Fong codename SPART205, sought to avenge his fallen brothers and sisters to the Iron Council."

Benjamin Fong / Remnant 2, ASCENSION designation SPART205, and later, known amongst the Remnants as Warchild, is the second Remnant of Paladin Decen as well as the boyfriend to a past version of Coraline Jensen for a time. However, the status of this relationship is currently unknown.

Specializing in highly versatile ranged weaponry and long range combat, along with his innate Remnant ability to generate destructive Nanopower, Ben comprises most, if not all, of the ranged military might of the Remnants, with no one seemingly approaching the Remnant in marksmanship skills and ranged firepower. According to Ben's younger brother, Deacon "Fury" Chow (Remnant 3), Ben's marksmanship skills surpass even Meena Kennedy's, who was regarded as The Organization's greatest soldier.

Ben's body is unique from the other Remnants, as it had undergone the ASCENSION SPARTAN Endoskeleton Surgery, essentially grafting cybernetics to his internal skeleton and replacing many of his core organs with computerized modules. Because of the surgery, Ben is considered a cyborg, with its own cybernetic enhancements paired with his innate Remnant abilities. This provides Ben with more utility than his brothers.

Personality

Pre-ASCENSION

Ben described his past self to be aloof, insecure, and had a very unstable personality. Frequently cracking jokes and finding ways to validate himself, Ben said his old self was incredibly unbearable. A trait that Ben said he had, was his habit of immediately switching from a joking mood to resentment whenever his jokes don't land, or when he is unable to validate himself. This is especially so when he was around his friends and Corey, who he was deeply infatuated with. Ben had also explained that during this time, he was extremely self conscious, suffering from social anxiety and the belief that he was inferior to his peers at University.

As SPART205

After being whisked away into the future by Prime Aspect Mogul, Ben witnessed firsthand the horrors of war, and was forced to do whatever it took to survive. This meant abandoning his social values and his self image to find a means to live in the hell he was thrown in. After being picked up by ASCENSION, Ben was forced to become an infantryman along with other survivors. Witnessing the gruesome deaths of his comrades caused Ben to develop a darker and resentful mindset, as Ben suddenly found himself at death's door multiple times as he found himself on the front lines. Ben described his life as that of "a gamble, with every crack of a shot heard potentially being the last thing he would ever hear".

By the time Ben had passed the learning curve and evolved into a more experienced soldier, Ben's personality became extremely cold and merciless, as he believed killing was necessary for one's own survival. Ben believed that one's sole purpose was to protect himself, and the ones he cared about. The lives of others mean nothing. When Ben was subjected to the ASCENSION Cybernetics Operation to become a cybernetic super soldier, the one thing that Ben held onto was his own survival, instead of thinking about his loved ones.

As a newbie SPARTAN, Ben was assigned into a group of more experienced ASCENSION soldiers, who taught Ben the art of tactical warfare. During this time, Ben came to acknowledge and respect his superiors, even seeing them as family. When his entire squad was wiped out by the Arachnid, Ben's resentment was once again reignited, and his personality grew even colder as he continued serving ASCENSION, rising the ranks, becoming stronger, and turning into one of ASCENSION's most valuable super soldiers.

During his time to travel back and watch over his past self and the team of University students, Ben developed a condescending view on the past humans, believing their values on social standing and validation to be absurd. Ben became even more enraged upon seeing his past self and being reminded of his shortcomings, to the point where Ben threatened his past self with violence. Despite this, when Ben's identity was revealed to a past Corey Jensen, part of his personality became warmer, as his feelings for Corey resurfaced. Ben's personality also gradually warms up as he grows to become attached to his younger brother, Jonathan Ko (Remnant 15), acting as his mentor figure. When John was abducted, Ben risked his own life to try to save his younger brother, showing that a part of his cold and dark personality was caring for those he loved. Ben also developed an affectionate side during his time with Corey, as the two began a romantic relationship.

Post Stasis (Current)

Ben's current personality is described to be pragmatic, logical, and lacking in emotion or sometimes even morals. To some degree, Ben also exhibits contempt towards human beings, and will not hesitate to verbally talk down on others, brutally telling the truth even if it emotionally hurts others, to achieve his objective. This has caused many to see Ben as a cold, heartless individual. Despite this, Ben has occasionally shown some semblance to a warmer side, as seen when Ben kept Corey's voice box, and complimented Thomas's efforts to battle and hold off a Corrupted Arman Wan.

The reason behind Ben's personality change was that after Ben was severely damaged by Turbo, Ben entered a catatonic state. Believed to have been comatose, Ben's consciousness was actually rerouted by ASTRO, where the two began to mix and combine. During this time, Ben's personality became similar to the AI, due to the two becoming essentially one. While still being cold, pieces of Ben's kinder personality began to fade away, replaced with logical deductions and decisions.

This personality shift has led John to believe that the old Benjamin Fong was gone, and that the person who had replaced Ben was more machine than human. This was especially so when Ben proclaimed that retrieving Corey was merely "an objective", and stated that Decen's Remnants should not pursue love, as their ultimate purpose would be to fight Mogul with a 6.7% chance of survival, leading to abandoning their lovers in the end. Because of this, it can be assumed that Ben no longer harbours the same romantic feelings for Corey as he used to.

Powers/Skills

Nanopower: When Ben was created, his cells were capable of releasing complex proteins that were capable of emitting energy. Initially, Ben was only able to utilize this energy in its raw kinetic form. However, after stasis, he learned to transform this energy into different states.

• Pure Nanopower: In its bare form, Ben harnesses Nanopower, which when used in conjunction with his SPARTAN Core, provided him with the ability to power his weapons and equipment beyond the standard of other ASCENSION soldiers.
• Elemental Nanopower: Upon reawakening from stasis, Ben was able to harness Nanopower to a different degree, allowing him to charge his bullets with fire or ice. Ben uses this power to imbue his Chroma Bullets, to deal massive amounts of damage. However, the sheer power of this ability causes the bullets to disintegrate when charged for too long.

Supercharge: By summoning his Nanopower to higher degrees, Ben can supercharge his weapons to deal amplified damage. When Ben used Supercharge along with his Chroma Bullets, the blasts were enough to shatter dragon hide instantly.

Dash Step: Ben charges his Nanopower and imbues his leg muscles along with his mechanical joints, allowing him to perform quick bursts of speed and evade incoming attacks.

Regeneration and Physical Prowess: Ben possesses heightened physical characteristics even prior to his cybernetic surgery. However, this boost was not significant. When paired along with his cybernetic implants, Ben's physical prowess improved to the point where he was able to contend with his brothers. This regeneration was what allowed Ben to survive the ASCENSION Cybernetic Surgery, despite not having an emotional anchor to the world during the procedure. When Ben was critically damaged by Turbo, he was still miraculously alive. During Ben's stasis, ASTRO informed the Remnant that no ASCENSION soldier would have been able to survive that amount of damage, and the only reason why he was able to live through this was because of his innate physical prowess.

Abilities

Ultimate Marksman: Ben's marksmanship skill and deadly accuracy has repeatedly been remarked by fellow Remnants and even other fighters as being near unparalleled in skill. According to Fury, Ben's skill with firearms is far beyond human capabilities. Meena Kennedy, the Organization's top soldier, believed that Ben possesses an even greater skill in firearms than herself, after glimpsing a combat profile of the Remnant scoring successive headshots on multiple Iron Council Angels while spinning midair with a mere Desert Eagle.

Ben's skill extends even further from guns, as Ben is also able to throw grenades with deadly accuracy. As shown when he strategically took down all five Remnants, Ben was able to toss flashbang grenades from a long distance to disorient them.

Expert Hand to Hand Combatant: Paired with Ben's cybernetic conditioning, Ben's mind possesses several martial arts techniques engrained in his memory, allowing him to fight on par with a slowed Merrow Rivenlight with his combat knife upon the gap being closed for a brief time. However, against stronger opponents like Remnant 3 and Remnant 9, Ben is severely outclassed in hand to hand combat. Ben has stated that he prefers fighting his battles from a distance as "a ranged fight will always be to [his] advantage".

Despite this, Ben's close range combat is still formidable, as Ben relies on deception and strategically shifting the fight. Of all the Remnants, Ben's style is the most cunning.

Master Stealth Combatant: A large part as to why Ben was able to defeat all five of his brothers was in part to his ability to sneak and conceal himself. Ben's ability to completely erase his presence and hide from his opponents was what Jonathan Ko learned from his brother in his early years fighting opponents that were significantly stronger than him.

Ben uses this style of combat to defeat many of his opponents as he prioritizes efficiency, rarely wasting any ammunition. However, Ben's pride can sometimes get the best of him, as he refused to fight with stealth against Meena, seeing the Ex-Mercenary as a rival and decided to fight her head on. Ben was disappointed that the skill gap between the two marksman was very large, however.

After regaining his body and learning of Corey's capture at the hands of Mogul, Ben uses his stealth techniques a lot more frequently, prioritizing her rescue above all things.

Expert Tactician: Ben prefers fighting a battle that is dictated on his own terms. To do so, Ben rarely jumps into a fray without a plan. Due to his many years comatose, Ben had his brain rerouted by the ASTRO AI to perceive logic at a greater intensity, allowing him to come up with complex battle strategies on the fly. Ben's intelligence and strategist mindset allowed him to defeat and take down opponents that would otherwise have been too powerful for him in a head on fight.

Due to Ben's habit of planning and preparing before a battle, Ben has been shown to hold his own and win seemingly one sided battles against opponents that are many levels above him. An example of this was when Ben was capable of taking down a corrupted Remnant 1 in his Dual Boosted Phoenix Form with little to no difficulty, despite R1 being capable of defeating the likes of a True Dragon Sammy Le, and an Empowered Thomas King.

It is due to Ben's highly tactical approach to combat, that he has been estimated to be at a Folian Adventuring Level of 65, putting him in S tier among the Remnants despite being a "mere gunman".

Advanced Mechanical and Technological Knowledge: As a soldier to ASCENSION, Ben's intellect and use of advanced firearms has supplied him with a very strong knowledge base on cutting edge technology in the future. Additionally, the information implanted in his brain during the surgery provided Ben with the skills to craft and build complex devices that would aid him in his missions alongside his fellow Remnants. However, this knowledge was kept under a Level 3 Security System, as the ability to build, craft, service, and manipulate technology was forbidden amongst the soldiers due to the dangerous implications. This Level 3 security system was breached during Ben's ten year stasis, in which Ben merged his consciousness with ASTRO to relentlessly hack and infiltrate the security proxy.

A testament to Ben's advanced intellect is his ability to craft weapons outside of the SPARTAN standard arsenal, and to develop new grenades and bullet types to adapt to virtually any situation. Even greater than this, was Ben's ability to craft such advanced pieces of technology using the materials in the current timeline.

Equipment

Ben's biggest asset is his arsenal of various weapons and equipment which he uses in combat. Ben's versatility stems from the different kinds of equipment he uses and his knowledge on tactical warfare. These weapons are hardwired to his ASCENSION cybernetics, and paired with his Nanopower ability, are capable of extreme military firepower.

Ben's weapons stem from his SPARTAN ASCENSION technological enhancement magazines, which strap onto normal equipment and evolve them into their SPARTAN equivalents. This is the case with his SPARTAN Battle Pistol, which evolved from a standard revolver, and his Lesion, which evolved from his Desert Eagle.

However, after Ben began to tap into hidden files in his cybernetic memory bank, he began to access hidden blueprints for more ASCENSION warfare, as well as download the required skills to craft his own weapons. Using this knowledge, Ben's arsenal expands greatly, allowing him to construct various other pieces of ASCENSION equipment with the resources from the world he lived in.

Although Ben starts out with equipment that were standard issue to his SPARTAN class, he eventually builds weapons from other classes and original weapon ideas of his own as his crafting abilities grew. Of all the pieces of equipment Ben owns, a majority of them have been his own creations or modifications.

Pocket Armory: One of Ben's most ingenious inventions, mostly in part of the knowledge base supplied to him during his merge with ASTRO, was the conceptualization and implementation of the Pocket Armory, which was a device that utilized extremely advanced spacetime technology to store weapons, grenades, equipment, vehicles, and even entire bunkers in a secluded space outside from the one the wearer currently is in. The Pocket Armory allows Ben to store virtually any non-living object into the space, and can retrieve these objects whenever he wishes to. However, despite the seemingly immense size and capacity of the Armory, Ben states it is still limited. An additional limitation of the Pocket Armory is that it cannot store living creatures, as the living tissue and the spacetime environment do not interact well. The armoury is serviced by ASTRO (later, by ATLAS), to restock on grenades, ammunition, and repair as well as servicing. However, these tasks take time, ranging from several hours to entire days.

ASTRO: A highly advanced AI that was developed by ASCENSION to aid their soldiers in the war against the Iron Council, ASTRO served as a tactical assistant and advisor to initiate complex battle strategies, decisions, and even survival actions to ensure the safety of the soldier. ASTRO came with a STARBOARD interface, which all soldiers can access using their cybernetic HUD implants in their eyes. ASTRO is also capable of being uploaded to other pieces of technology, and possesses advanced technological capabilities such as hacking, vulnerability detection, enemy assessment, and prediction.

• ATLAS: After Ben awakened from his eight year stasis, Ben and ASTRO merged together to form one consciousness. However, this consciousness still possesses a separate AI module that sometimes detaches itself from Ben's main line of thought and acts as a "pseudo AI assistant". This separate module featured abilities similar to ASTRO, but was much more advanced and far more integrated and streamlined with Ben's consciousness, as the two were technically in unity. Due to this, Ben named this entity ATLAS.

SPARTAN Implants: Acquired during the ASCENSION Cybernetic Surgery, the entirety of Ben's endoskeleton was replaced by a robotic replacement, fully integrated with the ASTRO AI, as well as heightened strength, speed, agility, reflexes, and durability. Many described this endoskeleton as something similar to a "Terminator" due to its appearance. The SPARTAN Implants Ben acquired allowed him to store ASCENSION magazines within his forearms to enhance technology and convert them into SPARTAN equivalents for combat, and also release nanotechnology drones into his bloodstream to initiate repair of any damage to his system, both technological and biological. However, the healing effect has limits, as it cannot be undergone when Ben is in combat due to the heightened blood flow and adrenaline, as well as if the body has sustained too much damage, as the drones cannot create entire limbs from nothing.

• ASCENSION Magazines: The ASCENSION magazines are modules that when pressed against a piece of technology or equipment, covers the device and converts it into an ASCENSION equivalent, giving it the futuristic features that the ASCENSION soldiers are used to using. These magazines have been used by Ben to enhance existing firearms, cars, bikes, and even Riot Shields
• SPARTAN Cycle: A highly advanced motorcycle that often appears when a ASCENSION magazine is installed into a modern bike, the SPARTAN cycle possesses faster speed, as it relies on the power core of the user for propulsion, advanced features such as noise reduction, and different modular forms known as "Protocols". The cycle also has full ASTRO integration, a built in HUD, and numerous built in weapons.
  • Protocol - ACCELERATE: The Accelerate protocol streamlines the build and form of the Cycle and prioritizes speed. The Acceleration Protocol allows Ben to easily travel faster than the speed of sound.
  • Protocol - ASSAULT: The Assault protocol prioritizes pure firepower, and unveils all the built-in weapons that the bike offers, including a mini gun, a rail gun, and mini rockets. Additional shields and plating surrounding the hull of the bike to offer protection from gunfire.
  • Protocol - TANK: Tank mode provides the bike with pure defence. While retaining the gunfire, the walls of the bike are reinforced with stronger protective shielding and armour, but at the cost of speed.
  • Protocol - AERIAL: The Aerial protocol generates wings and thrusters in place of the bike, and transforms the bike into an aircraft, capable of traversing the skies in a very fast speed. Weapons and armouring remain, but the shape of the bike is tailored for flight.
• SPARTAN Armour: The SPARTAN armour provides Ben with additional durability to explosions, gunshots, impact, and magical spells. The armour clads Ben's entire body, and includes a helmet that covers most of Ben's head, concealing his face and leaving detents and grooves matching the profile of Ben's face. One slot is exposed, covered with a transparent material for his eye to see, while the other is concealed within the HUD interface generated by the mask. The mask is also resistant to toxic chemicals.
• Riot Shield: The Implants in Ben's body also provide a module to generate a holographic shield that is mounted on Ben's forearms that serve as an emergency Riot cover. The shield is wide and can resist explosions from RPG's. But can be shattered by extremely powerful blows. If shattered, the shield requires 24 hours to rebuild itself.

Pistols

• SBP M96X - Short for "SPARTAN Battle Pistol Model 96X", Ben's signature revolver capable of multiple firing options. The weapon initially had two configurations for long and short distance combat, but as Ben slowly began to obtain more and more weapons, the battle pistol evolved along with his arsenal to deal charged shots, multi shot, and single damage standard shot. The SPB is capable of firing high power rounds in a six shot revolver style rotating magazine, utilizing Ben's Nanopower and SPARTAN core for bullet enhancement. The bullets are capable of penetrating Lucius Cassidy's Spike Clad and Deacon Chow's Demonfire Constructs, and surpass that of an anti-tank rifle.

• Lesion C5BR - Ben's second handgun which he uses in conjunction with his SBP, the Lesion is a semi-automatic pistol that was derived from a Desert Eagle he had stolen during his raid to rescue Jonathan Ko. The Lesion is capable of dealing significant firepower when paired with Ben's energy enhancement powers. However, deals less damage than his SBP in exchange for faster fire rate. When Ben fights with the Lesion, he uses it to lay out suppressing fire, then uses his SBP to pick off opponents.

Submachine Guns

• FN P90 SPARTAN Grade S - A submachine gun that Ben uses as a sidearm, the FN P90 SPARTAN is a heavily modified and revised version of the original FN P90 submachine gun used in modern day, designed to fire even higher penetrating rounds by ASCENSION to combat the Iron Council. Ben uses this weapon during close quarters combat if his distance is breached. The fast fire rate and high penetrating rounds instantly force enemies away or kill them in close range.

Shotguns

• Tiber - The Tiber is Ben's double barrelled break action shotgun that he uses to destroy barriers, shields, or force fields that his handguns normally would not be able to penetrate. The Tiber boasts firepower surpassing his handguns and is one of his more harder hitting firearms, optimized highly for damage dealing. However, due to this, the weapon possessing very high recoil that would otherwise be impossible to wield by normal marksman. The recoil of the weapon is minimized due to Ben's cybernetics and enhanced strength.
  • Tiber MK II "Dreadnought" - Ben's second revision of the Tiber, featuring enhanced rounds. This variation of the original Tiber drew inspiration from Lucius Cassidy's Pariah, and is capable of shooting through Celestial Flesh, as the shotgun shells from this weapon are laced with anti-magic, poison, and celestial steel.

Rifles

• Aufregung MAR M2 - The Aufregung is an assault rifle that Ben designed to lay down long range suppressing or killing fire that his SMG would otherwise be incapable of dealing out. Unlike his SMG and other weapons, this rifle is capable of shooting at higher range, which is typically used to take down targets that have seemingly escaped. The original design of Ben's Aufregung was a sniper, however, after failing to capture an Acolyte who was capable of slicing the bullets with her sword, Ben decided to change the design of the rifle to a semi-automatic variant. Upon using it to recapture the same target, the Acolyte was incapable of slicing down the sheer number of bullets coming her way.

• Rorschach HPSR Ironsight: The Rorschach is a sniper rifle developed by Ben to take down enemies at extremely long distances. The weapon is capable of long range shooting due to its "Ironsight", a scope that is capable of zooming in impossible distances and firing the sniper rounds with extreme accuracy. Ben has used the Rorschach to dispatch enemies in the Hokkaido Shrine from the city, a distance of 30 km.

Heavy Artillery

• Orion Breaker - Ben's Orion Breaker is a rocket launcher that he uses to wipe out large rooms of enemies in an instant. Each rocket is capable of immense firepower to the point where the weapon can level entire high scale buildings. The rocket launcher features a 14 rotary magazine.
  • Orion Cannon - Ben constructed a stronger variant of the Orion Breaker, the Orion Cannon, to deal as an anti-aircraft solution during his missions. Similar to his Breaker, the Cannon variant features a 14 rotary magazine, but instead of rockets, the Orion Cannon fires highly destructive beams of energy. Similar to his Tiber, the Orion Cannon possesses massive recoil, even greater than the shotgun. Because of this, the Orion Cannon carries six legs that Ben uses to stabilize on the ground when firing, as even with his cybernetic strength, he cannot keep the weapon steady during firing.

Bullets

• SPARTAN Magazine Ammunition: The SPARTAN grade ammunition is a specialized bullet type used in the SPARTAN class that is capable of armour penetration with an electrical overcoat, capable of paralyzing weaker enemies and weakening stronger opponents. These bullets are derived from the SPARTAN's power source.

• Dampened Rounds: Ben constructed these bullets to deal non-lethal damage from his firearms during interrogation or to capture enemies in missions. These bullets possess an electromagnetic field powered by Ben's core which dampen impact to enemy hide, reducing their impact and sending the force rippling throughout the body of the enemy, dispersing it and causing damage all around, rather than concentrating it into a single point like a regular bullet will.

• Dreadnought Bullets: These bullets were designed by Ben to take down higher Celestials and Hellspawn, taking inspiration from Lucius' Pariah. These bullets are constructed from Celestial Steel, and traces of anti-magic as well as poison to disintegrate supernatural flesh. When loaded into his Tiber MKII, the shotgun was capable of defeating an Acolyte in a single blast.

• Onyx Bullets: The Onyx Bullets were a bullet type designed by Ben to take out extremely sturdy and high defence opponents. The bullets possess internal rotating mini-engines which increases their velocity even during airtime from being fired from Ben's guns, increasing their impact damage. The bullets also possess several rivets along the side to enable "superspin", which when impacting the hide, will essentially "drill" into their opponents with a greater intensity than normal bullets and penetrate the armour. The Onyx Bullets are constructed from Death Obsidian, a resource from the Underworld, making them even more durable than Ben's other bullets.

• Anti-Samuel Mace Bullets (ASMB): Ben designed these bullets for the sole purpose of taking down his older brother, Arman Wan / Samuel Mace, by eliminating his healing factor. The ASMB possess anti-magic and siphoning metals that suck the healing energies of Mace's Phoenix Form, rendering his regeneration useless. However, the bullets must be embedded in the flesh for the siphoning process to happen. Additionally, because the bullets are small in size, the amount of healing the bullets can siphon is limited, and when its maximum capacity is reached, will unleash an explosion within to further damage the opponent. Because of the limited capacity of the ASMB, Ben frequently loads these bullets into his FN-P90 SMG to ensure as many bullets are embedded in the target as possible. The ASMB is also used on other enemies that are capable of stronger regenerative abilities.

• Chroma Bullets: After Ben began to tap into more of his potential with his Nano-Power, Ben designed the Chroma bullets, which were specialized bullets optimized to accept Ben's Nanopower Elemental energies and enhance them accordingly. According to Ben, these bullets are his most highly damaging types of ammunition, even more so than his Onyx Bullets, however, require more time to prepare as the bullets would disintegrate if exposed to his Nano-Power for too long.

• Starburst Rounds: The Starburst Round was a bullet type Ben invented against Samuel Mace, after assessing his older brother's skill with the sword. Anticipating that Mace would be one to slice his bullets with his blade, Ben designed the Starburst Rounds to explode upon being sliced open, dealing explosive damage to the target even if the bullet was severed.

• Seeker Bullets: These bullets were designed by Ben to track and chase down enemies that would otherwise outpace his gunshots. Although the bullets travel at the same speed as his other projectiles, these bullets are designed to continue pursuing the target until it lands, causing the opponent to tire themselves out. Ben has used these bullets not just in a chasing manner, but has also strategically used these bullets to trap enemies by firing them in multiple directions, pursuing the target from different positions and closing in on them in what he describes as a "pincer move".

Tactical Grenades

Ben has frequently used grenades in his gunfights to even out and control the battlefield. Initially, the grenades were in the form of small orbs that he would lob to the battlefield with the standard SPARTAN configurations, but during his ten years in stasis, Ben's grenade inventory evolved, to obtain a vast array of new abilities. The current SPARTAN configurations underwent an upgrade. The grenades can also be fired from Ben's guns in their grenade launcher configuration for longer distances.

• SPARTAN Standard - Cryo-wall Grenades: The Cryowall Grenades were a SPARTAN standard that allowed Ben to lob a grenade that would generate a wall of modified ice. Ben uses this grenade to provide cover but also to immobilize enemies from the low temperatures.
  • Cryo-wall MKII - Subzero Grenades: An upgraded version of Ben's SPARTAN standard, these grenades generated a wall of modified ice for cover, but also gained the ability to hover in the air, firing waves of frost and chase down enemies and immobilize at a distance.

• SPARTAN Standard - Spectre Grenades: The Spectre Grenades were SPARTAN standard designed to create a carbon copy of the user to lay down tactical fire. This copy wielded the weapon the caster had on at the time, and was capable of firing at 60% power. The copies are incapable of making decisions on their own, and must receive specific orders from their caster.
  • Spectre MKII - Four Bodies: A direct upgrade from the Spectre grenades, the Four Bodies increased the copy count to 4, and the clones each had the full arsenal of Ben at their disposal. Their firepower increased to 85%, but at the cost of losing the ability to speak. The copies' intelligence were also increased, allowing more vague orders to be applied, thinking in a similar way to their caster.

• SPARTAN Standard - Smoke Screen: A smoke screen designed for the SPARTAN soldier capable of emitting a cloud of gas that obstructs vision.
  • Smoke Screen MKII - Death Smoke: An upgraded variant to the SPARTAN standard, these grenades emits a cloud of tear gas that not only obstructs vision but severely damages the targets. The tear gas is also laced with poison, hence the name "Death Smoke".

• Sentry Orbs: A grenade type designed by Ben, that when deployed, transform into sentries that can scout a battlefield, flying in the air. Each Scout Orb is equipped with a mini gun, and a tractor beam that can grab onto objects. Inside the orbs, a bomb is installed to detonate if the Orb is destroyed, or Ben so commands them to be. The Scout orbs are said to be so small, that they were around the size of a marble. But in attack mode, expand to the size of a bench to accommodate the size of its mini gun.
  • Vision Powder: If fired from Ben's grenade launcher, the Orbs can also unleash a swarm of powder, residue that homes in and attaches themselves to opponents. From a distance, each particulate serves as a flare beacon which shows up on Ben's HUD.

• Vertigo Grenades: These grenades are designed to induce vertigo on the opponent. Initially, Ben designed the grenades as a flashbang, but once the blinding effect of the grenade expired, a sense of vertigo would overwhelm the opponent, allowing Ben to dispatch them without the risk of being hit. The Vertigo Grenades have been used to take down enemies that outclass him in combat and speed to even out the playing field.

• Binding Grenades: When deployed, these grenades explode into energy modules that emit extremely powerful tractor beams that hold down the enemy. Ben has used these grenades to bind enemies such as the Fire Elemental, Voltia the Storm Dragon, and even Sammy Le in his Black Dragon Form. These beams are also capable of siphoning the energy of the opponent, increasing its ability to restrain.

• Sonic Grenades: These grenades emit a very high pitched sound that can be adjusted by Ben to deliver deafening waves that disorient enemies. Unlike most of his grenades, Ben carries the grenade in his hand, holding them in the air instead of throwing them at the target.
  • Pursuit Mode: Ben has outfitted these grenades with mobility modules that enable them to chase after the targets and continue their onslaught even after being thrown.

• Gravity Bomb: A projectile designed by Ben that floats in the air, and delivers an extremely high gravitational field that completely immobilizes the enemy. The gravity is said to be so strong that very few people have escaped it, and have pushed enemies into the ground and crack the concrete.
  • Black Hole Mode: Instead of delivering a gravitational field that pins targets to the ground, BHM instead changes the manner of the gravitational influence to suck in nearby projectiles. Ben has used this grenade configuration to absorb easily gunfire from enemies, along with spells, debris, entire boulders, and even monsters.
