XLR8 (read as "accelerate") is a Kineceleran (a portmanteau of 'kinetic' and 'accelerate') from the planet Kinet (the first part of kinetic, which is movement energy). Kinet is an electrically charged world, where electrical storms rapidly orbit the sun and everything is accelerated. On Kinet, days become minutes and a lifetime happens in little more than a few weeks. With all the acceleration, the environment is constantly changing, and Kinetan society is constantly adapting to it.
Kinecelerans are vaguely elfin in appearance, with long hair, blue skin, pointed ears, large tails, and oversized feet. Like their homeworld, Kinecelerans are accelerated, and live their lives just as quickly as their planet changes. As a result, Kinecelerans are naturally suited to speed, being able to reach speeds of more than 500 miles per hour by Earth standards. This extreme speed comes from manipulating friction, which allows them to run up walls, create tornadoes through centrifugal force, and create huge stores of static electricity to unleash upon unsuspecting opponents. Despite their speed, Kinecelerans aren't warriors. They aren't built to fight, nor do they stop to think about their next move. A Kineceleran's natural speed is useless on non-solid ground like mud, ice, and especially water, which causes them to lose control of their momentum. Water is especially problematic, as it does not go well with the static electricity they build up from their constant movement. 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 causes them to lose their footing and spin out of control.
XLR8, the version in the Omnitrix, has several modifications which seem to prevent him from building up 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. In the episode "Ben 10,000", future XLR8 had a scanner built into his helmet.
First Appearance
Ben first transformed into XLR8 in "And Then There Were 10" when he decided to play around a bit with his newfound power. He used it to get revenge on some bullies that he fought with earlier in the episode.
Advantages
Has lightning-fast reflexes.
Is capable of incredible speed (up to 500 mph).
Can manipulate friction.
Is capable of running on almost any surface (including water), even slanted ones.
Is a very-quick fighter thanks to the previous benefits.
Can create localized tornados by running around in a circle.
Possesses scissor-like claws on hands, which he can use to cut through objects when combined with his speed.
Disadvantages
Magnetic-based attacks cause XLR8's nervous system to go haywire.
XLR8 is not quite as strong as the other alien forms, though his speed tends to make up for it.
