* SkewedPriorities: Played for Drama. Within Alien X, Bellicus and Serena have no interest in helping out Ben and his allies, and want to debate on solving other unrelated issues like saving the dinosaurs from extinction. Ben gets so fed up with this that he eventually goes from trying to convince them to help and instead asks them to switch back to another alien form.

* AwesomeButImpractical: Alien X is the ultimate example of all of Ben's transformations. He's a RealityWarper, but comes packaged with two split personalities that need a majority decision to do ''anything'', even '''move''', something hampered by the fact that they're complete opposites who prefer endlessly debating what to do over actually doing it. Ben finds that they're most recent ongoing debate is whether to avert the extinction of the dinosaurs. After giving Ben a "freebie" to repair a broken dam, Bellicus and Serena render Alien X an immobile statue for the rest of the episode.

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Ben puts up with Bellicus and Serena for most of the episode, with their debates rendering Alien X immobile and essentially useless for most of the episode. Even when Ben convinces them to stop debating until Earth is saved they shoot down all his suggestions because of "the procedure". He finally has enough in the climax and chews them both out on their hypocrisy for supposedly representing love and compassion and anger and aggression but allowing bad things to go unpunished and being completely useless despite their vast power. He outright refuses their power and demands to be let out, since he can do the job better with any of his nine other transformations.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Alien X's first action is precluded by an announcement of "Seconded!", before becoming unresponsive and frozen. This is because there are two other personalities that come with the transformation, who want a majority rule on any and every action before doing it. They only acted in the first place as a freebie because Ben was new.
