Alternate dimensions, duplicate Bens, and villains from throughout time and space. Just another day in Bellwood.
Tropes in this episode
- Ascended Extra: Mad Ben goes from a one-note minion of Eon to The Heavy of this two-parter.
- The Bad Guy Wins: Maltruant gets Dr. Psychobos to repair him, and departs with his minions, stranding both Bens in Mad Ben’s dimension.
- Heroic Wannabe: Ben 23 is still fame-obsessed, even when trying to be a real hero. His Azmuth dumped him on Ben Prime to teach him humility.
- Horrible Judge of Character: Mad Ben considers Vilgax to be “benevolent”
- In Spite of a Nail: Every version of Will Harangue except the main one is a supporter of their timeline’s Ben.
- Internal Reveal: Ben finds out that Subdora and Exo-Skull work for Maltruant.
- Shout-Out: Finding a half-buried Mr. Smoothy’s causes Ben to cry out “We’re maniacs! we blew it up!”
- Stealth Insult: Maltruant claims that Dr. Psychobos is only the second smartest being in the universe because Azmuth is too smart to be evil. Doubles as Hypocritical Humor, considering that Maltruant is also evil.
