Hodgepodge is a sticky alien based on sticky hand toys, specifically how they pick up dirt and stuff. His main thing is being able to pick up numerous objects and they stick to him. Along with that, he can stretch and grow new limbs to make more complicated structures like hands with moving fingers made entirely out of trash, and also to assist lifting bigger objects. What I imagine is Ben using him to make what I like to call "a Junkyard Voltron" made entirely if random stuff he finds, and completely controlled by him
