Powers and Abilities
Water Projection - Cansear’s massive, cannon-like claw can project powerful blasts of pressurized water on command and it even has different “settings” allowing Cansear to blast either pressurized streams, rapid-fire bullets of water, large, bomb-like droplets of water, to even exploding bubbles at will.
Body Temperature Manipulation - Cansear is able to raise his own body temperature at will to boiling hot levels, allowing him to heat up his inner water supply and project scalding hot water capable of inflicting terrible burns and melting ice, he is also hot to the touch and can burn others just by making physical contact when at his boiling point.
Steam Projection - Cansear projects steam from the many vents located around his body when he reaches the boiling point of his body temperature which makes for a great smokescreen to hinder enemy sight, he can also project boiling hot steam from his claw as an attack if he’s low or even out of water as well.
Water Absorption - Cansear can refill on his internal water supply by absorbing water through is claw, he is capable of absorbing and holding up to thirty-five gallons of water at once.
Enhanced Strength - Cansear possesses a great deal of physical strength significantly above a human being and is able to hold his own against Ectonurites, Arachnichimps and Piscciss Volans.
Exo-Skeleton - Cansear’s highly durable exo-skeleton gives him a great deal of durability, being able to withstand small building-sized explosions and being buried under five tons of rubble. His armored exo-skeleton also gives him resistance to things like fire, heat, cold, acid etc.
Strong Claw - Cansear’s massive claw makes for a great melee and defensive weapon as well as a ranged weapon. His claw is strong enough to crush stone and tear through most forms of metals and steel.
Multiple Brains - Cansear has two brains, giving him many advantages such as an accelerated thought process, allowing him to process information faster then most other beings and a great deal of heightened intelligence as well.
Electroreception - Cansear’s multiple sets of antenna are capable of picking up electrical and seismic stimuli in a three mile radius around himself, allowing him to detect objects and beings in places and situations where he cannot depend on his sense of sight, giving him exceptional reflexes as well.
Underwater Adaptation - Having both lungs and water-filtering gills, Cansear is capable of breathing and surviving underwater indefinitely and is arguably more adept in being underwater then on land and can survive in great underwater pressure thanks to his exo-skeleton.
Weaknesses
Limited Water Supply - Cansear has a limited water supply of about thirty gallons and he slowly drains it as he projects it from his claw and he can potentially run out if he’s too liberal with his water attacks.
Boiling Water - Cansear slowly boils his water supply away the longer he’s heated up, thus the steam.
Strength Limits - Cansear has defined limits with his strength and can easily be overpowered by beings of great strength such as Tetramands.
Durability Limits - Cansear isn’t indestructible by any means as his exo-skeleton can be penetrated by powerful amounts of force such as from a powered up strike from a Valkaree or a large building-sized explosion.
Trivia
Cansear is the same species as Kraab who is more then 90% cybernetic due to losing his body from a ship explosion during the Piscciss-Pyros war.
Ben unlocked Cansear by scanning Captain Maandabaal, a notorious but oddly jolly Piscciss Premann pirate lord that Ben befriended after he and the team successfully prevented a bloody war between the Piscciss Volans and Premanns when he visited Piscciss on their intergalactic road trip.
Kraab was Captain Maandabaal’s cabin boy before becoming the ruthless and sardonic bounty Hunter he is today.
The Piscciss Premanns are a carefree pirate culture while the Piscciss Volans are more like samurai and are much more firm and concerned with honor, these starkly different cultures has resulted in some confrontations in the past.
Cansear’s name is a portmanteau of Cancer, the fourth sign of the Zodiac and a constellation taking the shape of a crab and sear, which means to burn, a reference to Cansear’s ability to fire boiling water.
Cansear talks and sounds like a stereotypical pirate, this is a reference to the Piscciss Premann’s pirate nature.
Cansear’s ability to raise his own body temperature is inspired by Lob-Star from Skylanders who has is also a crustaceans character with a similar ability.
Aspects of Cansear’s design is inspired by Water Hazard’s 5YL design.
Cansear has aspects of a fiddler crab and a horseshoe crab. His whisker-like antenna are similar to that of a catfish.
Casear claw having a large pair of whiskers of it’s own is inspired by Clawitzer from Pokémon and it’s large claw. Cansear’s power of using his claw like a cannon is also similar to Clawitzer.
Cansear’s body turns into darker shades of red and orange when he’s heated up.
