Ben 10/Characters: Difference between revisions

** [[Yuri Lowenthal]]: As a teenager.

** [[Fred Tatasciore]]: The future Ben seen in "Ben 10,000" and "Ken 10".

* [[Jumped At the Call]]

* [[Kid Hero]]: Has this role for all three series.

* [[The Knights Who Say Squee]]

* [[Leeroy Jenkins]]: zig-zagged; he tends to act like this sometimes, but other times he will actually display some sense of strategy and cunning, especially in the Alien Force/Ultimate Alien era.

* [[Taught By Experience]]

* [[Transformation Name Announcement]]

* [[Acquired Situational Narcissism]]: In ''Ultimate Alien'''s first season finale he cops to this.

* [[Brilliant but Lazy]]

* [[The Charmer]]: He has several girls that like him and doesn't mind that at all, but he doesn't actively pursue women though like a Casanova does.

* [[Famed in Story]]: In ''Ultimate Alien''.

* [[He Is All Grown Up]]

* [[Healing Hands]]: With the Omnitrix's genetic-repair function.

 

== Alien Force/Ultimate Alien ==

* [[All Girls Want Bad Boys]]

* [[Barrier Warrior]]

* [[Heroes Want Redheads]]: [[Official Couple|Kevin]] certainly does. So does [[Hopeless Suitor|Cooper]]. And Mike Morningstar doesn't mind [[Terms of Endangerment|complimenting]] her whenever he sees her.

* [[Improvised Platform]]

* [[Kung Fu Wizard]]

* [[Magic Skirt]]

* [[Mana]]

* <s>[[Green Lantern Ring|Green]]</s> [[Green Lantern Ring|Pink Lantern Ring]]

* [[Pure Energy]]

* [[She Is All Grown Up]]

* [[Indy Ploy]]

* [[James Bondage]]

* [[Karma Houdini]]: {{spoiler|While no-one wanted to see him get killed since he wasn't in total control of his action, the lack of any sort of permanent consequence for him after his vicious crimes while insane (major collateral damage, attempted murder, possible offscreen murder, etc.) is a little jarring.}}

** {{spoiler|Not to mention driven further home how everyone seemlessly forgives him after he makes a wisecrack the moment he's reverted back to normal.}}

* [[The Lancer]]

* [[Loveable Rogue]]

* [[Shapeshifter Mode Lock]]: ''Alien Force'' Season 3

* [[My Name Is Inigo Montoya|My Name Is Kevin Ethan Levin]]. [[You Killed My Father]]. [[Prepare to Die]]: [[Shout-Out|Quoted verbatim]]. {{spoiler|Then invoked a second time in ''Ultimate Alien'' for his old mentor Kwarrel.}}

* [[Redemption Demotion]]: Subverted. [[Badass Decay|While not as badass]] [[The Worf Effect|as he used to be]], he's become smarter during the [[Time Skip]] and continues to show it as he spends more time with Ben and Gwen. This especially shows halfway through ''Ultimate Alien'''s first season.

* [[Reformed Criminal]]: Mostly. By his own admission, he's not entirely trustworthy -- and a lot of the tech he has in the back of his ride is stolen. Though in his defense, most of the ones he stole from were enemies they were fighting.

* [[Badass Normal]]

* [[Big Good]]

* [[Cool Car]]

* [[Gadgeteer Genius]]

* [[Elemental Powers]]

** [[Green Thumb]]

* [[Healing Factor]]: Swampfire

* [[Kamehame Hadoken]]: Ultimate Swampfire can shoot a large blast of blue flames from his palms

* [[Anti-Magic]]: The species is immune to mana. Pity Ben fails to remember the fact the ''one time'' it would have helped.

=== '''Stinkfly''' (OS-02) ===

* [[Breath Weapon]]: Shoots slime from his mouth.

* [[Flight]]

* [[Arch Enemy]]: To Ben. Runs in the family, before Ben, he considered Ben's grandfather Max his archenemy.

** To the point that in the [[Grand Finale]] of ''Ultimate Alien'', Ben is more worried about Vilgax than he is about ''[[Eldritch Abomination|Diagon]]''. {{spoiler|And rightly so.}}

* [[Cthulhumanoid]]: Worth note is he's actually mistaken for another Great Old One in ''Ultimate Alien''.

* [[Didn't See That Coming]]: His biggest flaw. His defeats ''always'' result from something he didn't expect to happen and he has difficulty dealing with it when it happens.

* [[Kneel Before Zod]]: attempted this on Ben in the finale {{spoiler|after he took the Omnitrix from him}}. It didn't work.

* [[Mega Manning]]: Begins defeating heroes across 10 worlds and absorbing the powers of those he defeated.

* [[One-Winged Angel]]: Though not quite as frightening as it could potentially be, as seen [http://ben10.wikia.com/wiki/File:Vilgax_True_Form.png here.] According to [[Word of God]], he could always do this, but there weren't many situations were it would actually come in handy.

** Fortunately for him, this form happened to fit the description of the alien worshipped by the Flame Keepers Circle, allowing them to play them as pawns in Ultimate Alien.

* [[The Other Darrin]]: James Remar, [[John Dimaggio]] in the ''Vilgax Attacks'' video game. <ref> Somewhat of a shame that Remar was used in the show and not DiMaggio, as the former sounds nothing like Vilgax from the original show, while the latter does an impressive [[Steven Blum]] imitation.</ref>

 

== Ultimate Alien ==

 

* [[A God I Am]]: Seeks to absorb the power of Diagon, the [[Eldritch Abomination]] he'd been impersonating. {{spoiler|In the end, [[Did You Just Scam Cthulhu?|he succeeds]].}}

* [[Devour the Dragon]]: {{spoiler|Somewhat Inverted. Kills and absorbs [[Eldritch Abomination|Diagon]] to take his [[A God I Am|god-like power for himself]], but Vilgax technically was [[The Dragon]] in the whole thing. However, Diagon was his [[Unwitting Pawn]] the entire time, so it may have been played straight.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Eviler Than Thou]]: Diagon realized too late that Vilgax was not to be underestimated.}}

* [[The Dragon]]: Becomes this to Diagon.

** [[The Starscream]]: Ben [[Genre Savvy|instantly realized]] Vilgax wouldn't submit to this unless he had ''something'' up his sleeve. {{spoiler|He was right, Vilgax let Diagon kill Sir George and beatdown Ben and company before stealing his power, absorbing Diagon in the process.}}

* [[Exact Words]]: Vilgax assures his most loyal follower that's he going to "transform" the Earth.

{{quote| '''Vilgax:''' When I'm done with this planet, you won't recognize it!}}

* [[Daddy's Little Villain|Uncle's Little Villain]]

* [[Dark Magical Girl]]: Was always a play on this trope, and became even moreso in ''Ultimate Alien''.

* [[Defrosting Ice Queen]]: In "Where the Magic Happens", she becomes slightly more friendly to Gwen as the episode progresses. {{spoiler|Sadly undone by "Enemy of my Frenemy", which makes her more of a [[Broken Bird]] than before.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Dimension Lord]]: She becomes the ruler of Ledger Domain after defeating Adwaita.}}

* [[Enemy Mine]]: Gwen convinces her to help them retrieve a piece of the Map of Infinity from her home before Aggregor does. {{spoiler|They fail.}}

* [[Evil Counterpart]]: To Gwen.

* {{spoiler|[[I Choose to Stay]]: Takes the trio back home, but stays to fight for hers, aware that she'll be trapped.}}

* [[Kari Wahlgren]]

** The end of "Couples Retreat". Charmcaster is good with this trope.

* [[Little Miss Badass]]: In the original series.

* [[Took a Level In Jerkass]]: She wasn't nice in the original, but she's much bitchier in ''Alien Force'', especially to her golem minions.

* [[Took a Level In Kindness]]: In "Where the Magic Happens" (and again in "Couples Retreat", following an [[Took a Level In Jerkass|extreme reset.]])

* [[White-Haired Pretty Girl]]

* {{spoiler|[[You Killed My Father]]: Says this to Adwagia.}}

* [[Not So Different]]/[[Shadow Archetype]]: To Ben. Both are humans who {{spoiler|use an [[Amplifier Artifact]] created by Azmuth}}, have similar issues with trust from those they protect and possess rather high opinions of themselves. The key difference is that Ben doesn't see any difference between humans and aliens while George is a champion for humanity only. The similarities between the two even cause Ben to {{spoiler|allow George the chance to take on Diagon despite Azmuth's orders - but when he fails, Ben says he gets the sword of Ascanlon to finish the job}}.

* [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]: {{spoiler|He was a Roman soldier in his first lifetime.}}

* [[Telepathy]]: According to [[Word of God]].

* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: He really does want to protect humanity-whatever the cost.

* [[Family-Unfriendly Death]]: He is exposed to sunlight and bursts into flames, burning to ashes. This happens ''twice''!

* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Has the same as Ghostfreak (Blum in the original series and Bennett in Alien Force).

* [[Hive Mind]]: his conciousness works that way, to the point it can survive even in the smallest sample of his DNA. He uses it both to keep surviving and to create an army of Ectonurite minions under his control in "Ghost Town".

* [[Manipulative Bastard]]

* [[Our Ghosts Are Different]]

* [[Staying Alive]]: Well, he ''is'' a ghost-like alien.

 

== Sunder the Retriever ==

* [[Good Scars, Evil Scars]]: he has a large scar on his left eye.

* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]

** What form did Ben take when they first fought? Yeah, Spidermonkey.

 

 

* [[A God I Am]]: he doesn't explicilty stats it, but he could as well say so. Of course, [[Cosmic Horror|considering what]] [[Eldritch Abomination|he is]]

* [[Big Bad]]

** [[Bigger Bad]]: Was the dragon the Forever Knights were founded to fight, making everything connected to them his fault.

* {{spoiler|[[Out-Gambitted]]: Though he was the one pulling Vilgax's strings, only to find out too late it was the other way around the entire time.}}

* [[Reality Warper]]: he displays abilities such as creating an acid rain, size-shifting, {{spoiler|stripping George of his immortality}}

** It's been confirmed on the credits of "The Enemy of My Frenemy" that {{spoiler|HE was the "Old One" who was willing to accept 600,000 souls.}}

** {{spoiler|Diagon may have ultimately sealed inside [[Cool Sword|Ascalon]] when Ben uses to to steal his power from Vilgax, if he wasn't killed by Vilgax absorbing him.}}

 

== Eon ==

* [[He's Back]]: He reappears in the actual series in "Ben 10,000 Returns".

* [[One-Shot Character]]: For Ben to use with the Omnitrix, since he's not in it anymore. Justified in that "Race Against Time" ''was'' canon, but not with the main timeline.

* [[Time Master]]: Works on humans {{spoiler|and aliens.}}

 

== The Highbreed ==

* [[The Unintelligible]]

* [[Up to Eleven]]: Sevenseven is basically this to Sixsix.

 

== Albedo ==

* [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain]]: You can't help but feel bad for the guy, stuck in a human body that causes him no end of grief.

** "Double Or Nothing" all but spells this out: by only wanting to turn back to normal, he's (d)evolved into a [[Harmless Villain]] [[Anti-Villain]].

* [[Insufferable Genius]]: As a Galvan he's extremely intelligent and helped build the Omnitrix so he does have smarts, but he insults and demeans everyone else from Ben to Azmuth to ''Vilgax'' as he believes himself to be the most brilliant being in the universe. Not surprisingly this comes back to bite him in the ass repeatedly, especially in the series finale of ''Alien Force''.

* [[Large Ham]]: "BRING ME CHILI FRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIES!!!"

* [[Meaningful Name]]: "Albedo" refers to the reflection in physics and the state of purification in alchemy.

* [[Shapeshifter Mode Lock]]: Zig-zagged, he can shift back into his Galvan form but he always turns back into Ben's form in the end.

* [[Ted Baxter]]: He's the greatest scientific mind in the universe! Or so he says. Yet his versions of the Omnitrix and Ultimatrix have glaring design flaws that nearly prove fatal to himself and others on several occasions. Naturally, [[Never My Fault|he blames this on Azmuth and Ben instead of owning up to his own mistakes]].

* [[Badass Longcoat]]

* [[Badass Long Hair]]

* [[Body Horror]]: His first use of Galapegus' powers involves multiple ''vents opening on his body''. YMMV on how it compares to {{spoiler|Ultimate Aggregor.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Brought Down to Normal]]: Thanks to Kevin absorbing his powers. It's assumed he can still absorb matter and energy since that's considered "normal" for Osmosians.}}

* [[Hidden Agenda Villain]]: His true goal, to reshape the universe the way he wants, was kept hidden until his last appearance.

* [[John Dimaggio]]

* [[Meaningful Name]]: He aggregates (collects) the powers of other aliens.

* [[Mega Manning]]: His base power allows him to steal the abilities, and apparently life force, of whoever he touches. However, he can only use the stolen power at a tenth of its original strength, and it wears off. He's built a machine to subvert this, fully and permanently absorbing the power of the five aliens he's hunting at the cost of killing them.

* [[Rubber Forehead Alien]]: In his default form he looks essentially like a human with a row of spikes on his head.

* [[The Sociopath]]

 

== Will Harangue ==

 

* [[Jerkass]]: There are many other names for him, though ''nothing'' seems strong enough.

* [[John Dimaggio]]

* [[Strawman Political]]: Though a blender of several political pundits (as one message board noted: he's like the worst of Bill O'Reily, Keith Olbermann, Glenn Beck, Al Franken, and even Stephen Colbert mixed in a blender.)

** [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: Alot of the [[Strawman Political]] pundit stuff is for show; behind the scenes, he's pretty sinister.

 

== Carl Nesmith/Captain Nemesis/Overlord ==

 

* [[Axe Crazy]]: {{spoiler|in Ultimate Alien, he tried to kill Ben's mother in a very sadistic way while Gwen was watching.}}

* [[Mind Rape]]: inflicted this to Ben in his first appearance by taking advantage on Ben's [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?|fear of clowns]]. {{spoiler|Ben then payed him back using Ghostfreak.}}

* [[Monster Clown]]

 

== Khyber ==

 

* [[Big Bad]]: of Omniverse (at least season 1, it seems).

 

* [[Badass Boast]]: Tells Eon that if he goes through with his plan, no force in all of time will be able to protect him from Paradox.

* [[Call Forward]]: [[Word of God]] said that in ''Race Against Time'' (a movie that's otherwise questionably canonical), Paradox guarded the Hands of Armageddon from Eon for several years until Ben stopped him.

** This is finally revealed in Ben 10,000 Returns. {{spoiler|The movie was actually part of 'cross-time' and thus Paradox guarded that alternate timeline's Hands of Armageddon}}

** May also be one of Sam Beckett from ''[[Quantum Leap]]'': scientist who gets caught in [[Time Travel]] experiment, vanishes and appears in a blue-white light and tries to [[Set Right What Once Went Wrong]].

* [[The Fog of Ages]]: He calls himself 'Paradox' because he can't remember what his real name is

* [[Hero of Another Story]]: Is apparently constantly on adventures of his own and the first time he appears, its stated he's already saved the world ''hundreds'' of times.

* [[Immortality]]: Type II. Due to existing outside of time, he can't age and apparently also doesn't need to eat or sleep. This also makes him immune to time manipulation to some degree (he can't be aged into dust or anything like that, but he still feels it to some degree).

* [[Offscreen Teleportation]]: Has this ability due to 'finding shortcuts' in time. Though he's also very capable of onscreen teleportation.

 

* [[Brick Joke]]: Pierce is the only one whose appearance doesn't come from any Omnitrix alien. {{spoiler|Turns out he's from Argit's race (Argit demonstraded a shooting-quill ability in "Andreas' Fault").}}

* [[Five-Man Band]]:

** [[The Hero]]: Pierce

* [[Half-Human Hybrid]]: The Expies shown above are half-human.

* [[He Is All Grown Up]]: Cooper, in Ultimate Alien, [[Mr. Fanservice|grew about two feet and went up to about a nine.]]

* [[Hopeless Suitor]]: Cooper, for Gwen.

* [[The Other Darrin]]: Cooper has been voiced by Cathy Cavadini, Corey Padnos, and Chris Pratt, though given his gradual physical changes as he ages, [[Justified Trope|this makes sense]].

* [[The Smurfette Principle]]: Helen is the only female in the team.

* [[Stock Super Powers]]

** [[Super Speed]]: Helen

** [[Super Strength]]: Manny

* [[Scott Menville]]

* [[Unwitting Pawn]]: "The Big Story" all but confirms that [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|Jimmy's investigations were the very thing that got Will Harangue his big start.]]

 

 

* [[Asteroids Monster]]: Notably spawning a ''regular character'', Ship.

* [[British Accent]]

 

== The Andromeda Five ==

** [[Dishing Out Dirt]]: Armodrillo

** [[Making a Splash]]: Water Hazard

** [[Shock and Awe]]: Ampfibian (though he ''does'' have a water form as well)

* [[Energy Being]]: P'andor
