If the ends are grabbed and pulled, she can be pulled along with them. Her hair is extremely powerful, with black orbs on the tips for greater concussive damage.įrightwig can accidentally tie herself up if she tries to whip her hair at an opponent and misses. In The Most Dangerous Game Show, Frightwig was one of many contestants who tried to win Ben's hand in marriage on Charles Zenith's game show.įrightwig can use her tentacle-like hair to hit, wrap up, crash into, and defeat enemies. After Zombozo escaped, she and her team were arrested by the Plumbers. Frankenstrike then used her hair to block Acid Breath's mouth. She was defeated by Frankenstrike when he shocked her. The Circus Freaks return as part of the Negative 10 in an attempt to get revenge against Ben.įrightwig appeared in Something Zombozo This Way Comes, when she and her team were re-hired by Zombozo to distract Ben while he was feeding off people's fear. When she is knocked unconscious, Ghostfreak abandons her body and enters Gwen's. When Grandpa Max reveals his Sun Gun, Zs'Skayr takes shelter by possessing the bodies of the trio - after Acid Breath and Thumbskull are incapacitated by Four Arms, he possesses Frightwig and uses her to fight Ben. The trio encounter a renegade Ghostfreak - now revealed to be Zs'Skayr - and agree to work for him. In Ghostfreaked Out, the Circus Freak Trio attempt to rob a wealthy school, as Frightwig points it out as 'easy money'. She, Thumbskull, and Acid Breath fight against Wildmutt until Zombozo intervenes, and later Upgrade. Now she has six orange tentacles for hair, tied up in two pigtails as opposed to hanging down.įrightwig first appears in Last Laugh as a member of Zombozo's circus, performing robberies whilst Zombozo distracted the town with his show. In Omniverse, she wears a slightly different, more revealing outfit.
This makes him more sensible at times and we even get to see just how much he doesn't want to hurt others with his powers (so much that Forever Knight's offer of training him to better harness his powers is what motivates him to become a villain and turn on his family for an episode only).Frightwig has pale skin, a slender body, black circles on her cheeks, a black, tight-fitting jumpsuit, and five orange tentacles for hair. It's shown that Ben does want to help save people, but he can sometimes get too caught up in playing hero to actually be a hero, though it's also acknowledged he doesn't mean to be insensitive and genuinely wants to help (and he does fix his messes later on). You can also see his relationship with Gwen does evolve throughout the summer, as arguments in latter seasons escalate but in a realistic family-like way, they're still each other's best friend in contrast to how they were in OS.Īnd (probably not) last and but (certainly) not least, his morality.
What I also love is how this Ben can get creative in ways the original didn't until much later (hello, using Upgrade for the watch! Or Grey Matter for his brains rather than his small size). Plus, when we fight, you're the only one who gives me a challenge! Well, I just figured the strongest and second strongest dudes could team up! How about it?" Just used to fight a bunch of old adults with nothing better to do. "Hey, Kevin! I sometimes forget that you're a kid too. There's also how he sometimes can relate/listens to the bad guys without going much into evil territory, like when he feels bad for Hex having a lame job office, or his numerous interactions with Kevin, Billy, Vin, even Animo.
I also like how he's got A LOT more interests beyond heroing, Sumo Slammers and video games (probably from still being a kid) like how he knows how to sew and cook. I like how they're actually acknowledging that all this stuff really takes a toll on Ben and that he's shown struggling or getting ego trips from all his work with reasons to do it other than fame (since that is done the slow way).
