** "¡HUMONGOSAURIOOO!" [[labelnote: explanation]] In the lationamerican fandom, Humongosaurio (humongosaur latinoamerican spanish name) gained quite the reputation due to Ben's immense favoritism and wanting to use it at every opportunity he gets over his more obscure, powerful aliens, something which started in Season 3 of Alien Force and up to Omniverse. common jokes involve Ben wanting to get a tattoo to show how much he loves the alien.

There is no rule preventing main characters from being consisered as The Scrappy. While it is rare, it is possible for that to occur. Scrappy Doo himself was one of the main characters of the Scooby Doo franchise in various installments. To be consisered a Scrappy, the following critera must be met. Unintentionally hated by the audience: Ben Tennyson qualifies as as his characterization in season 3 was intented to "fix" what fans didn't like about him in an attempt to realign his character with his child self. Needless to say, it did not work at all and Ultimate Alien worked to find a middle ground to partially undo this characterization. Hated by the majority of the audience: While no concensus is universal, you'd be hard pressed to find anyone who liked how Ben was written in Season 3. Fans of Alien Force hated it for undoing all his growth and maturity and non-fans of Alien Force just don't care for or like this version of Ben at all. A single hated character: Ben Tennyson is a singlular character. Hated for narrative reasons: As aforementioned, fans hate this version of Ben because his persobnality was regressed into a immature, junville, and borderline nacrasstic person to make him more like his child self; while greatly downplaying all his positive traits. In this season, he was deeply irresponsible, highly inconsiserate (espically to Julie), and was bursting to the brim with ego. It was so bad that even the characters in-universe occasionally acknowledged how bad he got. Hated by the fans of the work: While Alien Force is a contentious entry in the franchise, it does have a sizable and healthy fanbase... for seasons 1-2. Season 3 is widely recognized and acknowledged as suffering from Seasonal rot, and one of the primary principle complaints is Ben Tennyson's characterization. Consistently hated: I will admit this is the one thing that come close to disqualifying Ben Tennyson, as the negative reception is mostly confined to Season 3 and does not apply to Ben Tennyson across the whole show or franchise. Which is why, it was specified that this Scrappy status was solely referring to his Season 3 characterization, which as established is consistently one of the most disliked aspects of the show.

** With the reveal in ''Omniverse'' that the Appoplexians (Rath's species) are in conflict with the Lewodans and the previous coincidences and story details that imply the Omnitrix's addition of alien forms isn't completely random, was the Tiffan's electromagnetism affecting the Omnitrix the only reason that Ben unlocked Rath? Did the Omnitrix unlock Rath as an attempt to also facilitate peace between the two species by having Ben become one to assist the other, per the Omnitrix's origin, in part, as a means for galactic peace? Or was it the opposite, and the Appoplexian sample in the Omnitrix came out because it wanted to fight one of its origin species rivals a la the idea of Cannonbolt being unlocked to avenge his species against the Tick?
