Grey Matter is a Galvan (a play on galvanization) from the planet Galvan Prime. Despite being tiny compared to other planets, Galvan Prime is one of the most scientifically advanced worlds in the galaxy and home to one of the most powerful empires in existence. Industrialization has swept over the planet, practically eliminating any trace of nature. The Galvans originally had no empire to speak of, instead being kept as pets by other races. They were then employed by other species as industrial technicians, spies, and saboteurs once their intelligence became known. The Galvans were smart enough to keep the best technology for themselves, eventually founding a powerful empire based on the technology they had kept from the rest of the galaxy. The inhabitants of Galvan Prime work tirelessly and consume massive amounts of resources to remain a superior force in the galaxy.
Being from a tiny world, Galvans are equally tiny, being only five inches tall on average. Their bodies consist of soft and flexible bones, allowing them to squeeze into tight spaces or quickly escape from danger. With their slimy skin, Galvans can stick to almost any surface. The slime also makes them equally difficult to grab. Not built for combat, Galvans evade and outsmart their enemies, rather than fight them head on. They are raised to be extremely intelligent, and bred to enter complex machines and operate them from the inside. This allows them to understand and operate virtually any machine, even if they've never seen it before. Despite their advanced science, Galvans are easily stomped on because of their small size.
When using Grey Matter, Ben benefits from the enhanced intelligence of the form. Like any Galvan, Ben can discern the purpose of most devices after a simple glance, and can operate any device he can get ahold of. Ben is often surprised by what he knows when using this form, and doesn't always fully comprehend it.
First Appearance
Ben first transformed into Grey Matter in "Washington B.C." when he heard that a gold Sumo Slammer card could be found in a box of cereal. Gwen found him looking for the card in the cereal boxes at the supermarket.
Advantages
Has enhanced intelligence, which allows him to quickly understand and operate any form of technology, as well as determine an opponent's weak point. Additionally, he can sometimes control living things by stimulating certain parts of their anatomy, apparently applying the same basic principal as a horse and its reins.
Can respond quickly to his environment.
Can squeeze through incredibly tiny spaces.
Has slimy skin that sticks to walls, allowing him to climb almost anything. It also makes him difficult to grab.
Can jump fairly high despite his size.
Has sharp teeth.
Disadvantages
Grey Matter's size makes him weak and easily trampled.
Unlike the other forms, he is not meant to be used for combat.
Often the result of an accidental transformation, usually leaving Ben in a less-than-ideal situation.
