Ben 10: Alien Force/WMG: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

This explains the inconsistencies between the two series, like Kevin's personalities and abilities, Gwen's magic, and the whole alien bloodline business. Now the [[Broken Base]] can finally unite!

* Glad to see someone else shares [[User:The Otaku Ninja|my view]]. See, I was watching "Vengeance of Vilgax" when it hit me: everyone said Vilgax was tossed into space, right? But ''we'' all know he was blown to pieces. The way I see it, in this timeline, the last few episodes of the original series never happened for some reason. ''That's'' why his parents (at least his dad) didn't know about the Omnitrix, and why Vilgax never came back to Earth, only to be subsequently destroyed. (The "Paradox" episode might have had something to do with it, but the temporal mechanics behind time travel always gives me a migraine, so I'm leaving it up to speculation.)

** Several inconsistencies were explained in Ultimate Alien. The biggest one being Kevin's personality shift.

 

It makes perfect sense. Mike had vampiric powers, he used them to take energy from teenage girls after making them fall completely and hopelessly in love with his beauty (thus making them act like rabid fangirls), and he fought with ''glitter'' while ''sparkling!'' Has nobody seen these parallels yet?

* If not a [[Take That]], a [[Shout-Out]]. This troper saw it instantly, and proceeded to call him Edward Sparklepants for the remainder of the episode. And then when he reappeared as Darkstar...

** Expanding upon this. Either Alien X IS Alien X, there is no other one to have gotten genetic info from. The two parts of "Alien X"'s mind agreed to seed the Omnitrix with the ability to become Alien X in order to break the tie one way or another.

** Alternatively, Serina and Bellacus are two members of the same species who reproduce by merging into a single being, and [[Alien X]] is the result.

== Serena and Bellicus are split personalities. ==

Mainly because they know about and want to bring back the dinosaurs, time doesn't matter, they could have generated all this previous business in a matter of seconds

== Token [[Suzumiya Haruhi]] [[Reincarnation|Reincarnations]] Theory ==

The Omnitrix = Haruhi, and Ben = Kyon. See the [[Cargo Ship]] theory above. Add to that Azmuth saying in ''Alien Force'' that the Omnitrix will cause the end of the universe if it's separated from Ben:

'''Azmuth''': If you'd lost the Omnitrix, yes. }}

* Alternatively, Gwen = Kyon and Ben = Haruhi. Think about it: Haruhi doesn't like normal humans and prefers aliens, ghosts and the like; Ben has often stated that he doesn't like being normal either. Gwen is calm and levelheaded, like Kyon.

 

== The episode "Voided" was a near-death experience of Ben's. ==

 

== ''Both'' Ben and Gwen were adopted, not just Gwen. ==

 

== Kevin's shift in abilities from absorbing energy to only absorbing solid material is a conscious choice. ==

* Paradox will catch him right before he does something drastic and take him back to the past to see his psychotic past form, and to a possible future (Ken 10) to see what he could possibly turn into. The experience gives him a new lease on life and gives him resolve to never become what he was and could be.

 

 

In our world of course, things haven't worked like that...

 

== Kevin has a [[Wicked Stepmother|Wicked Stepfather]] ==

Then he meet someone he felt he could relate to--a guy named Ben he suddenly discovered had a super cool alien watch. But wait, Ben suddenly turned against Kevin! Kevin thought he finally had someone to like him and not just shun him away, but he was wrong. Kevin had to punish him for that; he didn't deserve to have that Omnitrix anymore. But then, when he tried taking it, the Omnitrix send out that feedback pulse, which gave Kevin the forms of all Ben's original 10 aliens. That gave him the idea to get his revenge by ruining Ben's aliens' names though a series of crimes. But eventually, that led to the whole alien-anagram thing, which Kevin blamed Ben for. As mentioned in above theories, the various DNA--particularly Ghostfreak's--twisted Kevin's personality until he became downright evil. He didn't even care of the Omnitrix or anything other than getting back at Ben when he started his teamup with Vilgax... but Ghostfreak's influence took over, and he decided stealing the Omnitrix from both Ben and Vilgax to take over the world sounded pretty sweet after all.

But, of course, Ben and Gwen managed to escape Kevin and Vilgax with the Omnitrix in the end, leaving both stuck in the Null Void. Vilgax managed to escape, but he left Kevin hanging around in the Null Void, where the alien DNA did eventually wear off.

* [[Word of God]] sez: Yep.

* I smell a [[Xanatos Gambit]]...

** Bingo. The [[Complete Monster]] routine failed, so he's adjusting his strategy.

 

== Goop's slime is Humongousaur's snot. ==

 

The little UFO is technology from when they were developing what would become the fluid form that characterizes their species. It was rendered obsolete when the Founders learned to form humanoid bodies by an act of will again (This was after Azmuth visited). Viscosia was a forgotten Founder colony that didn't get the memo. "Real" Polymorphs might be pink, like fluid-mode Changelings.

 

== Hex and Enoch originate from [[The Secret Saturdays]] universe ==

* Jossed. Jay Stephens has said that Secret Saturdays takes place in the same universe as Ben 10 Alien Force. See also Dr. Beeman on Secret Saturdays saying "Sweet Galvan prime!"

 

If he's not protecting his people for good PR, he is likely much like the sinister fishman himself: Arlong is a [[Manipulative Bastard]] who [[Moral Event Horizon|raided Nami's village, killed her step-mother, and forced her to work with him]], but [[A Father to His Men|he cares about his own species]] and will avenge them. Vilgax is an [[Evil Overlord]] who [[Moral Event Horizon|destroyed an entire planet, breaks planetary laws, and tries to kill Ben]], [[A Father to His Men|but he care about his own]]... you see where I'm going with this?

 

 

== Energy Absorbing Makes Kevin's Species Go Crazy ==

This troper concludes that energy absorbing has some sort of adverse effect on their sanity or stability. In this context, Kevin's apparent [[Character Derailment]] makes sense; without him mucking about with energy for five years or so, a measure of stability has returned to him. And it's [[Word of God]] that 'he can absorb energy, but he's scared to'. Maybe he's afraid of losing himself again.

* Confirmed

== Ben's sudden [[Jerkass|Jerk Assness]] in Season 3 ==

Using the genetic-damage-repair function on such a vast scale at the end of Season 2 caused some long-term malfunctions in the Omnitrix. These included reverting to some common malfunctions not seen since the original series, and causing one of the alien's personalities (specifically, Rath's) to leak out and take over Ben's when he was in his human form. The Id-incarnate Apoplexian basically suppressed his Ego and Superego, hence Ben's self-absorbed, pleasure-seeking attitude throughout the season, lack of empathy for Kevin's condition, and inability to consider several threats seriously. This is also why Rath was the form to emerge when the Tiffan's presence interfered with the Omnitrix -- he was the alien closest to the surface, for lack of a better analogy.

Seriously. I explain. Check out Ghostfreak. His original powers? "He could walk through walls, disappear, and fly.". Later he get free. His new power is Overshadowing like in DP. Next time he appears IN SPACE he can shoot lasers or "Ghost Rays". Ghostfreak is the last alien used by Ben in first season, right, so in last season his last alien was Ditto. And in Danny Phantom next halfa we meet can duplicate himself. Then we get to the Alien Force where we get Echo Echo. He's Ditto with sonic powers. He's combination so we get Dark Danny/Phantom/Dan Phantom who is also combination, and got sonic powers. In the end we get Big Cill. This speaks for itself.

 

 

== Kevin suffers from Multiple Personality Disorder ==

* More or less confirmed. Osmosians in general suffer from drastic changes in personality towards [[Axe Crazy]]-ness if they use their energy-absorbing powers.

** [[Fridge Logic|That doesn't explain]] his [[Moral Event Horizon]] pre-power absorbtion.
