History Characters / Ben10VillainsAlienForce

* ANaziByAnyOtherName: They are a race of aliens so obsessed with genetic purity that they seek to exterminate all other races, believing their gene pools to be "inferior".

* AnAxeToGrind: his signature weapon is an axe.
** In ''Omniverse'', he combines this with EpicFlail, throwing an axe head connected to a length of cable.

* DiminishingVillainThreat: While never a major antagonist, they were quite a serious threat in their first appearance, where Emperor Milleous almost blew up Earth. Their following appearance in ''Ultimate'' have them usually treated as either background characters or minor villains. This is reversed come ''Omniverse'', though.

* AssimilationPlot: [[spoiler: The subjects of it.]]
* BodyHorror: In "Max Out", they thankfully skip over what happens, but it spells out with Ken Tennyson that [[spoiler:the [=DNAliens=] are one gigantic AssimilationPlot, transforming ordinary human people into alien creatures and overwriting them at ''the genetic level''. Judging by a [[BrainwashedAndCrazy partially-converted Ken]], it's a painful and mentally traumatizing event.]]

* FacelessMooks: Cruelly deconstructed; [[spoiler:the Highbreeds create them by infecting humans with parasites called Xenocytes. All the [=DNAliens=] Ben, Gwen, and Kevin killed over the course of the show actually were innocent human civilians. Fortunately, they used a special weapon to restore their human forms the last time they fight them]].
* HalfHumanHybrid: [[spoiler:They are created by infecting whatever species the Highbreeds are invading with Xenocytes, gradually turning them in into hybrids. As a result, they are despised by their own masters as much as the species they are related to. There are other [=DNAliens=] who aren't half-human though]].

%%* BodyHorror: [[spoiler:The process of transforming a human into a [=DNAlien=].]]
%% Elaborate

* {{Expy}}: He rides something similar to [[Comicbook/SpiderMan the Goblin Glider]]. What form did Ben take when they first fought? Spidermonkey.

** He's more blatantly a reference to Terrax the Tamer, a herald of Galactus and enemy of the Fantastic Four.

* EvilIsPetty: Despite his sympathetic motives he went out of his way to show up Ben and Azmuth for perceived slights while blaming them for things they never did (He blames his misfortunes on Ben in ''Ultimate Alien'' when it was really Hugh's fault as the standout example)

* ExtraEyes: Have 4 (sometimes 3, 5, or 6) [[RedEyesTakeWarning red eyes]] on their faces and [[EyesDoNotBelongThere 2 pairs on their chest]].

* HeelRaceTurn: [[spoiler:At the end of season 2.]]

* KnightOfCerebus: to the franchise as a whole; Not only were they played ''dead'' serious, even compared to previous villains, but their story arc marked the series taking a much DarkerAndEdgier turn for the show. When it ended, ''Alien Force'' lost a bit of said darker tone and became more childish.
* LargeAndInCharge: The Highbreed dwarf the [=DNAliens=]. Also the Highbreed councilers are [[FatBastard fatter]] compared to other Highbreed.

* ScaryDogmaticAliens: The "Aliens Are Nazis" type.
* SpikesOfVillainy: The Highbreed commander has spiked shoulders.

* TopHeavyGuy: The bailiff in ''Omniverse''.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YuriLowenthal (''Alien Force'', ''Ultimate Alien'', ''Omniverse''), Creator/EricBauza (''Omniverse'', Galvan form only), Creator/TaraStrong (''Omniverse'', kid Ben form)
-->''"Soon, they will all suffer, starting with Ben Tennyson. Until then... BRING ME CHILI FRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIES!"''

Azmuth's former assistant, and Ben's new EvilCounterpart after Kevin's HeelFaceTurn. Originally a Galvan, Albedo asked his master for his own Omnitrix. When Azmuth refused, he created a copy of it and set it to match Ben's. However, since Ben's Omnitrix had Ben's DNA as the default form, it ended up turning Albedo into a clone of Ben with the same alien transformations, but unable to turn back to his original form. Since then, Albedo is obsessed with getting his hands on the Omnitrix so he can use it to turn back to normal.

[[AC:Alien Force & Ultimate Alien]]

* AndIMustScream: [[spoiler:His fate at the end of ''Night of the Living Nightmare''; he ends up in a nightmare caused by a Cassiopeian dream eater, unable to wake up until it will be removed.]]

* BigBadDuumvirate: In the ''Alien Force'' finale he teams up with Vilgax to steal the Omnitrix, though it doesn't stick as Vilgax betrays him.

* DiscardAndDraw: In his original appearance in ''Alien Force'' he had an Omnitrix exactly like Ben's, but that was dismantled by the end of the episode. Then he built the Ultimatrix, able to evolve his transformations into more powerful Ultimate forms, but that was taken from him by Ben in the series finale. In ''Ultimate Alien'' he used an Alteration Field to give himself the ability to "change DNA at will," but an interruption in the process left him unable to maintain a transformation for more than a few seconds.
* EvilBrunetteTwin: Inverted. Albedo's [[WhiteHairBlackHeart hair is white]], in contrast to Ben's brown.

* MeaningfulName: "Albedo" refers to the reflection in physics and the state of purification in alchemy. Purification perceived by a substance turning white.
* TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody: As a result of being trapped in Ben's form, Albedo has also developed many of Ben's habits and quirks, most notably Ben's liking for [[TrademarkFavoriteFood chili fries]].

* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: His color scheme.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: It even carries on to his transformations.

[[caption-width-right:284:As a Galvan]]

* DarkActionGirl: Is able to defeat Spidermonkey.

* AbusiveDad: Strongly suggested; Milleous does mention he put his wife in a stasis pod, and threatened to actually eliminate Attea.

* SitcomArchNemesis: Attea has this dynamic with Princess Looma, even after agreeing to stop fighting over Ben, they just find something else to fight over and it's equally as petty.

* BadBoss: Attea is awfully abusive toward both Raff and Dr. Psychobos.

* PetTheDog: Attea helps to save Ben in "The Most Dangerous Game Show".
* ThePerfectionist: Attea tends to be this

* BastardBoyfriend: To Charmcaster in her first appearance. Unlike his Classic incarnation, who was just manipulative and unfaithful, this version is flat-out abusive toward her, frequently yelling at her in order to keep her submissive to him and forcibly taking her power for himself. [[spoiler:Thankfully, she ultimately sees the light and gives him his comeuppance.]]

* EnergyAbsorption: This is once again how his powers work.

%%* BountyHunter

* FantasticRacism: The very kings of this trope, to ''[[UpToEleven every single other species in the Universe]]''. They take it to such extreme that they consider any form contact with other species potentially infectious, hence why they relies on [[FacelessMooks the DNAliens]] as their armies. To illustrate: in the pilot, when one of them get bitten by Humongousaur, he blames him for "infecting" him and decides to react by [[DisproportionateRetribution destroying the entire city]].

* RevengeBeforeReason: Albedo always had an irrational need to seek revenge on Ben and Azmuth for perceived slights against him, but ''Omniverse'' takes this trope UpToEleven. Despite finally regaining his Galvan form, he is still obsessed with revenge against Ben. Ben even outright tells him how stupid this is, stating that he has what he wanted and should just let go and move on. Albedo doesn't care.

* TheSociopath: He had some sociopathic characteristics in his ''Alien Force'' debut, but he takes them UpToEleven in ''Omniverse''.

* EvilBrunetteTwin: Inverted. Albedo's hair is white, in contrast to Ben's brown.

* {{Expy}}: Ultimate Albedo is a very obvious one to ComicBook/{{MODOK}}, having an [[MyBrainIsBig oversized head]] necessitating a CoolChair.

* WhiteHairBlackHeart: In contrast to Ben's brown.

* {{Expy}}: Ultimate Albedo is one of ComicBook/{{MODOK}}.

* LargeAndInCharge: The Highbreed dwarf the DNAliens. Also the Highbreed councilers are [[FatBastard fatter]] compared to other Highbreed.

* ExtraEyes: Have 3-4 [[RedEyesTakeWarning red eyes]] on their faces and [[EyesDoNotBelongThere 2 pairs on their chest]].

* WhiteAndRedAndEerieAllOver: White bodies and [[RedEyesTakeWarning red]] [[ExtraEyes eyes]] [[EyesDoNotBelongThere that reach their chest]] [[spoiler:before their HeelRaceTurn]].

* LightIsNotGood: Has paler skin compared to his ''UAF'' counterpart

%%* RedEyesTakeWarning

* ActuallyNotAVampire: In his first appearance, he drains the life force from girls he seduces to feed himself, said girls are turned into zombies under his control, and he even lives in a mansion. He is not exactly a vampire, but he is probably the closest thing the Ben 10 Universe has from one outside of the Vladats.

** His dark powers are similar to that of [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans Raven]].

* AcCENTUpontheWrongSylLABle: His intonation and pronunciation are slightly off and he makes a couple of grammatical mistakes while masquerading as Ben.

!!Incurseons

* SpeechImpediment: All Incurseons seem to speak with a lisp.
