Powers: Upgrade has the ability to merge with and possess any technology by encasing his liquified body over it. The size of the device is not significant and he controls it as naturally as he would his own body. When he merges, his black and green circuitry pattern spreads across the technology's surface to fit its proportions; although he also has the ability to perfectly replicate the technology's original colors. In having a vast library to draw upon, Upgrade may be able to mimic and shapeshift into technology without needing to possess it. By energizing his biomechanical blood, Upgrade can launch a powerful green plasma blast from his eye. Upgrade can generate electrical charges capable of shocking his opponents into submission. He can also conduct these charges throughout his body. Upgrade can actually render himself immune to EMPs(theoretically) and electricity(actually canon) depending on what he has merged with at the time. He also possesses digitalized vision and he could simply learn about technology that he doesn't have a blueprint for by partially merging with it.
Personality: Upgrade will often try to combine with the nearest piece technology whenever he can. He possesses a knowledge and understanding of technology, AI, and VI that very few beings actually have. The reason for this is because Upgrade literally is highly advanced technology, specifically Nanites(Not to be confused with Generator Rex Nanite). Other than this, Camryn does not experience any other shifts in personality.
Weaknesses: Due to being made of living metal, Upgrade is vulnerable to electricity. EMPs and magnetic fields can also screw with him hard. Strong acids and lava also wreak havoc on Upgrade's delicate chemistry. There's also a limit to his technological manipulation, there are certain systems that he isn't able to hack easily, such as a Plumber's base. Though he can do this if he tries hard enough and can hack into the system eventually. Living technological beings can withstand him and try to break away from Upgrade, meaning someone like Dragon could fight his possession off. Upgrade is also quite slow without actively using his powers.
Power Rankings:
Brute 8+: Upgrade possesses very powerful regeneration, has immense strength, he's very tough on top of his regeneration
Tinker 10+: Upgrade can not only enhance technology, but he can build it, make repairs with ease, modify it, fuse tech into other tech, destroy it, hack it, and mimic it. This level of technopathy and technokinesis extends to Tinkertech and even some Magitek such as Altean technology and possibly Gem Tech. (The Gems are not native to the universe Camryn's Omnitrix comes from so he'll have to possess Gem Tech in order to create it.)
Blaster 5: He can shoot a powerful beam of Plasma out of his eye.
Changer 6+: Upgrades amorphous body gives him shapeshifting powers. He can also shape his body into weapons like hammers and maces. He can modify his body to grow extra hands or shoot out cable-like structures.
Breaker 4: Upgrade is capable of electroportation by going into wires and traveling in them. He can phase into tech without upsetting its surface or integrity.
Mover 4-6 (This is variable depending on how he uses his powers): Electroportation and how he applies his techno-mimicry.
Thinker 4+: Technically speaking, Camryn doesn't become any smarter while he's Upgrade, but see above about his understanding of technology.
Shaker 1+: He could possibly terraform, but Camryn doesn't have the experience, knowledge, nor skill to actually perform such a feat.
Master 4+: He can merge with beings who have technology integrated with their bodies such as JcJenson's Drones, possibly Vilgax, Rex Salazar, users of Extremis, ect.
Striker 4+: He doesn't need to fully merge with tech to control it, just touching it can suffice.
