| 23 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/CoreyBurton |
| 24 | -->''"[[ObliviouslyEvil Evil? No]]... [[VisionaryVillain VISIONARY]]! [[DrunkOnTheDarkSide I feel power building inside me]]! I see a world that only ''I'' can create! It was Azmuth who thought me flawed! He gave me the name [[MeaningfulName Malware]]... But I am not the flawed one. [[FantasticRacism It's all the rest that are inferior]]! [[SuperEmpowering They bend and stretch... mimic and manipulate what others have created]]... I do not upgrade others' creations; [[CannibalismSuperpower THEY UPGRADE ME]]! And I will upgrade myself with Azmuth's greatest creation!"'' |
| 25 | |
| 26 | Malware is a psychotic Galvanic Mechomorph who serves as the main antagonist in the first 2 arcs of ''Omniverse''. He was an incomplete Galvanic Mechamorph created accidentally by Azmuth during the development of Galvan B by shutting down the Helix (the device that created the original Galvanic Mechamorphs) right while he was being produced. As a result, Malware was born corrupted, with the ability to absorb technology and gain its ability instead of upgrading it. Azmuth spent years developing a new Helix in order to cure him, but Malware eventually lost patience and stole it from him, using it to upgrade himself into a form that apparently eliminated his need for energy while retaining his old abilities. After that, he vowed to absorb the Omnitrix in order to gain its abilities. After destroying Ben's Feedback form, he was seemingly killed when Ben overloaded him with the Omnitrix. [[NotQuiteDead Somehow, he survived and returned to menace Ben years later]]. |
| 27 | ---- |
| 28 | * AbortedArc: [[spoiler: The end of "Malgax Attacks" hinted that turning him into a suit for Vilgax may have brought him back to life, but this was the last time he made any sort of appearance before the series ended. Had the series continued after arc 8, he would have been featured as a potential member of the new Negative 10]]. |
| 29 | * AntiVillain: He started out as a very twisted [[SlidingScaleOfAntiVillains Type II]]. However, once he got upgraded, he became a straight villain. |
| 30 | * ArchEnemy: While only appearing in one series Malware's many battles with 11 and 16 year old Ben and the level of terror, dread, and disdain between the two gives Malware a claim to the title. [[spoiler: Killing Feedback, more or less, for half a decade is a very personal blow and Malware is one of a very few number of villains who Ben has shown to be afraid of]]. He notably retains an air of dread and fear around him that makes him stand out in ''Omniverse'' compared to many others. |
| 31 | * ArcVillain: [[spoiler:Of the first two story arcs, [[ManBehindTheMan having recruited Khyber]] to collect the DNA required to complete the Nemetrix. Eventually, he was the one whom Ben needed to stop.]] |
| 32 | * ArmCannon: [[spoiler:His right hand became one after he absorbed the Tachyon Cannon.]] |
| 33 | * TheAssimilator: [[spoiler:His ultimate goal is to assimilate Galvan Prime and become a [[GeniusLoci living planet]].]] |
| 34 | * AxCrazy: When told that the Tachyon cannon he absorbed could kill humans within a hundred miles, Malware states that he considers that "a bonus". |
| 35 | * BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:He somehow came back to life 5 years after his "death". And in "Malgax Attacks", it's implied that he might have come back to life due to him seeping out of the remains of the fight with Ben and Vilgax, who was wearing Malware]]. |
| 36 | * BadassBookworm: Though it’s not shown often, Malware has a degree of scientific and technological know how. |
| 37 | * BadBoss: At times, he has shown to be impatient with Dr. Psychobos and Khyber, even to the point of threatening them. |
| 38 | * BadPowersBadPeople: A power-hungry sociopath with the ability to upgrade himself by destroying technology, and sustains himself by cannibalizing people of his own kind. |
| 39 | * BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: [[spoiler:He wanted the Omnitrix. Ben gave it to him... [[TooSpicyForYogSothoth and its energy overloaded him, almost killing him]].]] |
| 40 | * BerserkButton: ''Don't'' imply he couldn't possibly defeat Ben and ''don't'' call him defective. [[spoiler:Destroying Ben's favorite form Feedback simply for spite]] on top of the other atrocities he's committed has made him one for Ben. |
| 41 | * BigBad: For the flashbacks in ''Omniverse'', as well as being part of the BigBadDuumvirate in the present day of the first two seasons. |
| 42 | * BigBadDuumvirate: [[spoiler:With Dr. Psychobos and Khyber for the first two seasons of ''Omniverse''.]] |
| 43 | * BigNO: [[spoiler:When Blukic and Driba stop him from corrupting Galvan Prime's core]] |
| 44 | * BookEnds: [[spoiler:Ben and Malware's final [[TitleDrop showdown]] takes place on the same planet they first met: Galvan Prime.]] |
| 45 | * BoomerangBigot: He is viciously racist toward the rest of his own kind. Unlike most examples, however, this ''does'' have some basis as he is an anomaly amongst Galvanic Mechamorphs and has deluded himself into believing what makes Azmuth see him as defective is in fact what makes him superior to them. |
| 46 | * BreakoutVillain: Out of all of the antagonists introduced in ''Omniverse'', he quickly became very popular and, after the first three arcs were completed, had a major, posthumous role in "Malgax Attacks" near the end of the series [[spoiler:that ''strongly'' hinted that he was going to come back to menace the heroes]]. |
| 47 | * CallingTheOldManOut: His rant to Azmuth in "Showdown, Part 2". |
| 48 | * CannibalismSuperpower: Has the ability to upgrade himself by consuming tech. |
| 49 | * CharacterDevelopment: In his first chronological appearance, he was driven mostly by his ego and relied more on raw power in a fight. His later appearances in the timeline reveal that he's since become a very adept planner who learns from his mistakes and can easily feign those flaws as well as becoming aware of [[KnowWhenToFoldEm when he should surrender versus when he shouldn't]]. |
| 50 | * TheChessmaster: [[spoiler:He has been behind the plot of using Khyber to collect the DNA required to complete the Nemetrix.]] |
| 51 | * ClassicVillain: He represents Pride, Ambition, and Wrath. |
| 52 | * CombatPragmatist: He sometimes pretends to be unconscious to surprise opponents. |
| 53 | * ContrastingSequelAntagonist: Rather than being a subdued, well-known flesh-and-blood megalomaniac in lieu of Vilgax or Aggregor, Malware is mechanical, only has his eye on revenge, tries his hardest to stay off the grid, and is [[LargeHam rather bombastic]]. |
| 54 | * TheCorruption: He infects technology and incorporates it into himself. |
| 55 | * CreepyMonotone: He has this in his earlier appearances. He became more bombastic later on. |
| 56 | * DeathByIrony: [[spoiler:He ends up defeated by a combination of the other Galvanic Mechamorphs (who he despised to the point of trying to annihilate them) and Ben as Feedback (the ''very'' form he had destroyed to scar Ben).]] |
| 57 | * TheDreaded: He has become this in the present. Ben becomes DeadSerious the moment he's mentioned and Azmuth drops his InsufferableGenius persona the moment that he thinks that Malware ''might'' be on Galvan Prime. You have to be seriously bad news to make those two take something seriously. And even ''after'' he's defeated, he's still this. In "Malgax Attacks", the mere fact that [[spoiler:Malware's remains are missing]] is ''just enough'' to send Ben, Max, and Azmuth into a panic. |
| 58 | * DrunkOnTheDarkSide: After his upgrade, he goes from impatient and arrogant to a ''full-blown supervillain''. |
| 59 | * EvilBrit: Corey Burton uses a more synthesized version of his [[WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated Megatron voice]] for Malware. |
| 60 | * EvilGloating: It's very, very frequent. It's also the reason he loses his first on-screen fight in the series, as he gloated long enough to allow Ben to transform into Feedback. Though in "Malefactor", he seems to be breaking out of this. |
| 61 | * EvilSoundsDeep: A deep voice that reflects the sheer animosity it has to all living things. |
| 62 | * EyeBeams: Just like all Mechamorphs, he is able to project a large ray from his eye. |
| 63 | * FatalFlaw: His pride and tendency to talk on and on has gotten him in trouble. He grew out of them, though the former still cropped up from time to time. |
| 64 | * FisherKing: [[spoiler:His end goal in "Showdown" was to send parts of him everywhere on Galvan Prime to corrupt it, eventually allowing him to merge with the planet and become essentially this. Blukic and Driba luckily manage to secure the core before he can reach it.]] |
| 65 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: "I'd like nothing better than to drain you to an empty shell." He says in a flashback to Ben [[spoiler:as Feedback, hinting at would he would eventually do to that form in particular]]. |
| 66 | ** Ben's present-day reaction to seeing Malware is similarly foreboding, his voice trembling as Malware warns, "You know what I'm capable of." [[spoiler:He's referring to when he ripped Feedback out of the Omnitrix and permanently destroyed Ben's access to him]]. |
| 67 | * ForTheEvulz: [[spoiler:His main reason for destroying Ben's Feedback form.]] |
| 68 | * FromASingleCell: He can regenerate from any injury. [[spoiler:Which is why he needed to be TakenForGranite to be stopped for good.]] |
| 69 | * FromNobodyToNightmare: He went from a corrupt Galvanic Mechamorph to being able to [[spoiler:threaten all of Galvan Prime]]. As well as becoming a major enemy of Ben, and [[spoiler:one of the few to durably scar him]]. |
| 70 | * GeniusBruiser: He is incredibly intelligent, [[TheChessmaster a competent schemer]], and perfectly capable of holding his own in a fight. |
| 71 | * GoneHorriblyWrong: The Galvanic Mechamorphs as a whole were an unexpected but positive benefit of a life-giving experiment on Galvan Prime's moon. Malware is the same, but corrupted, absorbing and destroying technology instead of improving it. Then there was the attempt to destroy him, which just made him more dangerous. |
| 72 | * GoodColorsEvilColors: Red and black, in contrast to the other Galvanic Mechamorphs' usual green and black. He was originally Yellow and Black to signify his "sickness". |
| 73 | * GreaterScopeVillain: [[spoiler:His presence in the first arc is mostly to direct Psychobos and Khyber, afterwards he's far more direct.]] |
| 74 | * HairTriggerTemper: Explicitly described by Azmuth as "volatile", this is what makes Malware terrifying as there is ''no way'' of knowing what will set him off on a homicidal rage. |
| 75 | * TheHeavy: For the first two seasons of ''Omniverse''. While he was part of the Faction TerribleTrio, where they mostly had equal say, Malware still poses the biggest threat and it is his vendetta against Ben and Azmuth which drives the conflict. He also serves as the final threat that needs to be dispatched after Psychobos had been defeated and Khyber had bailed. |
| 76 | * HeroKiller: [[spoiler:Literally; he ripped Feedback out of Ben and destroyed the form, leaving Ben unable to use him again.]] |
| 77 | * HypocriticalHumor: He tells Albedo to shut up due to finding his ego annoying. Malware himself, once being upgraded, never once stops talking about himself and how he is the perfect being. |
| 78 | * IAmAHumanitarian: A G-Rated version of the trope. Malware can feed on other Mechamorphs, but rather than killing them, [[TakenForGranite it turns them into stone]], a condition shown to be reversible. |
| 79 | * ImplacableMan: He nearly rivals Vilgax in this regard. The amount of damage he's survived throughout his arc is astounding. |
| 80 | * InferioritySuperiorityComplex: Despite all of his talk about being the perfect being, he feels that he's Azmuth's failure, even though Azmuth denies it. His entire BoomerangBigot attitude toward his kind really is a way for him to cope with the fact Azmuth perceives him as flawed. |
| 81 | * ItsAllAboutMe: Best shown by his reaction to Ben telling him that Azmuth was trying to save the Mechamorphs he drained, whinging about how of course Azmuth would save his "Perfect Creations". Never mind that Azmuth himself admits that the Mechamorphs were a happy accident he never intended on creating and that he's trying to save the ''thousands'' of Mechamorphs Malware drained of energy. All that matters to Malware is that Azmuth isn't focusing entirely on ''him.'' |
| 82 | ** His rant to Azmuth in "Showdown" can be summed up as "My life sucks, it's all your fault, you never gave a damn about me, and even now you're against me." |
| 83 | * ItsPersonal: We don't know what, but Present!Ben is noticeably enraged when they meet up again and their words imply something of this nature happened last time they met. It's later revealed that [[spoiler:Malware destroyed Ben's Feedback form, and Ben subsequently overloaded and nearly destroyed him with the Omnitrix.]] Though considering everything ''else'' Malware had done, this seems to have just been the straw that broke the camel's back. |
| 84 | * TheJuggernaut: [[spoiler:In his OneWingedAngel form.]] |
| 85 | * KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:He ends up TakenForGranite just like all the Galvanic Mechamorphs he fed on.]] |
| 86 | * KickTheDog: [[spoiler:He destroyed Ben's Feedback transformation solely for the sake of hurting Ben by obliterating Feedback (his favorite alien).]] |
| 87 | * KnightOfCerebus: While his origin episode did have an amount of humor to it, later episodes involving him are played much more seriously. By now, he, Kundo, the Rooters, and Maltruant are the villains who have been taken the most seriously in all of ''Omniverse''. |
| 88 | * KnowWhenToFoldEm: He seems to have developed a habit of this after his first fight with Ben, as he is implied to have retreated [[spoiler:in "Of Predators and Prey"]], and when [[spoiler:Ben meets him again in the present day in "Malefactor"]], he simply decides to distract Ben, and leave from there. |
| 89 | * LackOfEmpathy: Malware cares only for himself. Anything else is no different from an insect as far as he's concerned. |
| 90 | * PutTheLaughterInSlaughter: The chortle he let out while gearing up the assimilated Tachyon cannon against the Tennyson's and inadvertently a small chunk of humankind was particularly bone-chilling. |
| 91 | * LargeHam: As his quote indicates, he can be quite bombastic at times. |
| 92 | * LaserBlade: [[spoiler:When he absorbs the Proto-Tool.]] |
| 93 | * LeanAndMean: He was this before his upgrade. |
| 94 | * {{Leitmotif}}: Has one that plays whenever he shows up. |
| 95 | * LightningBruiser: In both past and present forms. |
| 96 | ** MightyGlacier: [[spoiler:In his OneWingedAngel form.]] |
| 97 | * MakeMyMonsterGrow: [[spoiler:He grows to be as big as Way Big during "Showdown". And after absorbing all his feelers, he grows to a form ''larger'' than Way Big.]] |
| 98 | * ManBehindTheMan: [[spoiler:He was the one who provided Dr. Psychobos with the Omnitrix's blueprint so he could create the Nemetrix as part of an agreement between them.]] |
| 99 | * MeaningfulName: Justified; according to him, Azmuth named him that way due to his condition. |
| 100 | * NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: "Malware" is the name for a variety of virus. This might not sound ''that'' scary at first, but when you realize he is from a species of sentient machines, that would imply he is named after their equivalent of a plague. |
| 101 | * NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: A running theme was that his powers kept developing over the course of the season. His first appearance showcased his traditional Mechamorph powers (EyeBeams [[RubberMan stretchy arms]]), his origin episode displayed his signature ability to absorb tech, "Malefactor" gave him the ability to download computer data and showed he was able to regenerate from being blown apart, And "Showdown" gave him the ability to [[spoiler:rip Ben's aliens out of the Omnitrix and apparently corrupt an entire planet.]] |
| 102 | * NighInvulnerability: Fire blasts barely faze him, Laser blasts go right through him, being ''blown to pieces'' doesn't bother him. [[spoiler:Even being overloaded and ''exploding'' didn't kill him, but apparently put him out of commission for some time.]] |
| 103 | * NightmareFuel: In-Universe for Ben and Azmuth. |
| 104 | * NonStandardCharacterDesign: Even before his various upgrades, he's more angular than other Galvanic Mechamorphs, lacks the "underbelly" common to them, the markings on his body are much more like tattoos than something computer-like, as well as having a "mouth". |
| 105 | * NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler:Ben overloaded him with the Omnitrix, causing him to explode. Even Azmuth believed him dead until he returned in the present. And at the end of "Malgax Attacks" it seems he's still alive in some capacity...]] |
| 106 | * NotSoHarmlessVillain: His first two appearances apparently established as what appears to be a one-off villain with comedic flaws; his following appearances work to build up his establishment as one of the most dangerous villains, as well as [[spoiler:the real BigBad of season 1.]] |
| 107 | * ObliviouslyEvil: He sees himself as a visionary rather than evil. |
| 108 | * ObviouslyEvil: Let's see: [[RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver Red and black skin?]] Check. [[EvilIsHammy Tendencies to deliver long bombastic tirades about himself?]] Check. [[spoiler:[[KickTheDog Traumatized the protagonist when he was a kid for the sole sake of screwing with him?]]]] Check. [[AxCrazy Dangerously psychopathic?]] Check. At ''no point'' could this guy pass for a good guy. |
| 109 | * OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler:Gradually does this over the course of "Showdown, Part 2", growing from Way Big-sized to a form even more monstrous and taller than Way Big.]] |
| 110 | * OurVampiresAreDifferent: A Galvanic Mechomorph version and just as terrifying as his flesh-and-blood counterparts, if not more so. |
| 111 | * PoweredArmor: [[spoiler:He ends up becoming this for Vilgax in "Malgax Attacks". After the whole thing is done, however, [[SequelHook something black and red begins leaking out of the defeated Vilgax]]...]] |
| 112 | * PowerCopying: Instead of upgrading technology like other Galvanic Mechamorphs, he absorbs it (destroying it in the process) and take their abilities to upgrade himself. |
| 113 | * PowerNullifier: He is the second villain to be able to do this to Ben, though he seems to do it much, ''much'' more forcefully and painfully than Vilgax did. [[spoiler:It is later revealed that he did this to create a blueprint of the Omnitrix.]] |
| 114 | ** [[spoiler:And if his ability to ''pull out and destroy Feedback'' is to be believed, he can do so much more than just that.]] |
| 115 | * PredecessorVillain: In juxtaposing past and present events, he appeared to be a BigBad to 11-year old Ben, suggesting that he was a predecessor to Khyber for 16-year old Ben. |
| 116 | ** [[spoiler:"Of Predators and Prey, Part 1" reveals that he is the reason Khyber is after 16-year old Ben, and that he is still the BigBad all along]]. |
| 117 | * PsychopathicManchild: Deep down, Malware is basically a big child throwing a tantrum, with major father-son issues toward Azmuth. |
| 118 | * RecurringElement: |
| 119 | ** He's a twisted and evil version of one of the original 10 Omnitrix aliens who irrationally blames Ben for all the suffering the device has caused him, just like Z'Skayr and Albedo before him. |
| 120 | ** He's a major villain with the power to absorb matter and energy, something every Ben 10 show prior had at least once(Kevin 11 in the original, Morningstar/Darkstar in ''Alien Force'', Aggregor(then Ultimate Kevin) in ''Ultimate Alien'') |
| 121 | * RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: [[http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20121113024052/ben10/es/images/9/95/Malware_old_Render.png he started out as black and yellow]], but became this after his upgrade. |
| 122 | * RedemptionRejection: [[spoiler:Azmuth makes one last attempt to reason with Malware by promising to cure him. Malware doesn't buy it.]] |
| 123 | * RedOniBlueOni: [[spoiler:He is the Red to Dr. Psychobos' Blue.]] |
| 124 | * ShockAndAwe: He can fire electric blasts. |
| 125 | * ShoutOut: His final form is basically [[Film/MegaMonsterBattleUltraGalaxyLegends Ultraman Belial]]. Fitting, as [[spoiler:it debuts against Way Big, who's an Ultraman {{Expy}}.]] |
| 126 | * TheSociopath: [[AxeCrazy Homicidal]], [[HairTriggerTemper inclined to devastating wrath]], [[ItsAllAboutMe self-obssessed]] and more than willing to throw a gasoline truck at a busload of innocent civilians just to escape from Ben. Ben explicitly describes him to Rook as "a complete psychopath". |
| 127 | * SpikesOfVillainy: In his present form. |
| 128 | * TakenForGranite: What happens to the unfortunate Galvanic Mechamorphs he feeds on. [[spoiler:Also [[KarmicDeath his final fate]].]] |
| 129 | * ThisCannotBe: [[spoiler:When he sees the revived Mechamorphs raining down on him, returning him to normal size. Also when Ben is able to turn into Feedback, a form he destroyed 5 years ago.]] |
| 130 | * UnexplainedRecovery: [[spoiler:Though it can be attributed to his regenerative abilities, it's never been revealed how Malware survived being overloaded by the Omnitrix.]] |
| 131 | * TheUnfettered: Malware never shows any hesitation or regret in his actions, no matter how many innocents suffer as collateral damage. |
| 132 | * VileVillainSaccharineShow: ''Omniverse'' is a much more LighterAndSofter iteration than ''Alien Force'' and ''Ultimate Alien'', which makes it ''very'' jarring to encounter a villain as murderous and psychopathic as Malware. He murdered people of his own species, [[spoiler:used Phil as an unwilling test subject for the Nemetrix, destroyed Ben's Feedback form out of sheer spite (emotionally scarring him in the process), and ''[[WhereIWasBornAndRazed destroyed his own homeworld]].'']] The only villain who could probably match Malware for sheer evil is Aggregor and he only appeared for half of the season. |
| 133 | * VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler:A very gradual in "Showdown Part 2". He starts losing his cool when Azmuth acts unimpressed by him blowing up Galvan B and starts going on a rampage. Then, when Blukic and Driba manage to stop him from corrupting Galvan Prime's core, he snaps, goes OneWingedAngel, and tries to absorb Ben in retaliation. Finally, the revived Mechamorphs rain down on him, returning him to normal size. His plans ruined, he makes one final attempt to kill Ben out of spite, only to be easily defeated.]] |
| 134 | -->'''Malware''': '''CURSE YOU, BEN TENNYSON!''' |
| 135 | * VillainousDemotivator: [[spoiler:To Khyber at the end of "Of Predators and Prey"]]. |
| 136 | * TheVirus: Considering his powers, it wouldn't be a stretch to call him one. Fittingly, the word Virus is used as his name in the French dub. |
| 137 | * VisionaryVillain: He describes himself as one. |
| 138 | * VocalEvolution: His first few appearances utilized a quieter computer-like monotone voice which had a heavy digital filter. His later appearances tone down the monotone voice and digital filter and instead give him a much louder and scratchier psychopathic voice. |
| 139 | * WalkingSpoiler: His whole history drives most of his arc and the tropes covered are his history in general. |
| 140 | * WellDoneSonGuy: If [[CallingTheOldManOut his rant to Azmuth]] in "Showdown" is any indication, he always resented Azmuth for never recognizing him as his perfect creation. |
| 141 | -->'''Malware''': No! Nothing I do could ever impress you could it "Father?!" In your eyes, I am nothing but your failed experiment! Your shame! |
| 142 | * WhereIWasBornAndRazed: [[spoiler:Helps Dr. Psychobos ''[[EarthShatteringKaboom destroy his home planet]]''. Considering his opinion of the rest of his kind, Psychobos probably didn't need to twist his arm to make him do it either.]] |
| 143 | * WouldHurtAChild: He is perfectly willing to kill innocent children to escape from Ben. |
| 144 | * YouHaveFailedMe[=/=]YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: attempt to do this to [[spoiler:Khyber]] in "Outbreak", but [[spoiler:Dr. Psychobos]] stops him. |
| 145 | [[/folder]] |

| 147 | [[folder:Dr. Psychobos]] |
| 148 | !!Dr. Psychobos |
| 149 | [[quoteright:331:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Of_Predator_part1_48_113.png]] |
| 150 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/EricBauza |
| 151 | -->''"Honestly, Galvan and their superiority complex. Dullards! The lot of them... especially that ''imbecile'' Azmuth! ''This'' will finally prove, once and for all, that Cerebrocrustacean are smarter than Galvan, and that I, personally, am far superior to that arrogant amphibian!"'' |
| 152 | |
| 153 | A Cerebrocrustacean (Brainstorm's species) scientist who is responsible for the creation of Khyber's Nemetrix. Dr. Psychobos has a strong despise of the Galvan species as a whole, and especially Azmuth, who he has a personal rivalry with ([[UnknownRival though Azmuth apparently doesn't care]]). In an attempt to prove his species are the smartest in the universe, [[spoiler:he teamed up with Malware in order to get the Omnitrix blueprints, so he could then use it to create his own, superior version of the Omnitrix. This resulted in the Nemetrix, a feral version of the device that could only work on creatures of limited intelligence. He and Malware then proceeded to hire Khyber to collect the DNA required to make it work]]. |
| 154 | ---- |
| 155 | * AffablyEvil: At least in his interaction with Malware. |
| 156 | * AlwaysSecondBest: Based on what Maltruant said, Dr. Psychobos ''is'' the second smartest being in the Universe right behind Azmuth. |
| 157 | * BadassBookworm: He is apparently the second smartest scientist in the Ben 10 Universe and has shown a few times he is quite capable of defending himself. |
| 158 | * BadBoss: Along with Malware, [[spoiler:he threatens Khyber on occasion. The next time he did this in "Showdown, Part 1" to the point of attempting to ''MindRape'' him when Khyber refuses to obey. [[TheDogBitesBack This bit him in the arse when Khyber decided to just leave him be when]] [[HoistByHisOwnPetard Azmuth showed Psychobos' natural predator]].]] |
| 159 | ** To be fair though, he was on the other end of this trope with Malware |
| 160 | * TheBadGuyWins: [[spoiler:A minor example, but "Outbreak" ends with him getting what he wanted (a piece of the Omnitrix). Not only that, but he did it incredibly easily; it took him ''a few minutes'' to get it.]] |
| 161 | * BerserkButton: Saying that Galvans are smarter than Cerebrocrustacean's. Blukic and Driba told him that the dumbest Galvan was still smarter than the most intelligent Cerebrocrustacean and he went totally ballistic. |
| 162 | * BewareTheSillyOnes: Psychobos is simultaneously the silliest but also the nastiest out of the Faction. For one he's the mastermind of the Nemetrix plot and the Azmuth assassination attempt. Along with the fact he's a MadScientist who has been responsible for some of the more horrible human/alien experiments seen in the series, with him mutating Bill into an ArtificialHybrid that is played up as straight BodyHorror, as well as genetically engineering the mutated Way Bads when they are typically peaceful creatures. |
| 163 | * BigBadDuumvirate: He has had a number of villainous partnerships over the series. |
| 164 | ** In the Nemetrix arc he joins forces with Malware and Khyber, in a bid to take down both Azmuth and Ben Tennyson. |
| 165 | ** He gets recruited by Princess Attea though he seems to have been DemotedToDragon and serves as her underling. |
| 166 | ** Maltruant also hires him for his services in repairing him. |
| 167 | * BigBadWannabe: He talks a big talk, but he clearly doesn't even come close to any of his temporary allies in terms of threat-level. Azmuth barely considers him a rival even when his life was in danger. |
| 168 | * BondVillainStupidity: He did not recognize the threat Ben posed to Malware's plan. Even Malware calls him out on it at the end of "Outbreak". |
| 169 | * ButtMonkey: To Attea once he has been DemotedToDragon. |
| 170 | * TheCameo: [[spoiler:[[FreezeFrameBonus It's a blink-and-you'll-miss moment]], but he makes an appearance in "Special Delivery" during Psyphon's auction.]] |
| 171 | * CharacterCatchphrase: "''(random appellation)'' -and I use the term loosely." |
| 172 | * CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: His first appearance depicts him as a standard MadScientist whose motivation is petty jealousy toward Azmuth with mild manners and a VerbalTic, making him look rather like a comedic villain compared to Malware or Khyber. In "Outbreak", [[spoiler:however, he ''easily'' brings down both of them when they are arguing before raiding the Plumbers' HQ and successfully stealing a piece of the Omnitrix from Ben.]] |
| 173 | * {{Cyborg}}: His psionic powers are augmented by the devices attached to his brain. |
| 174 | * DemotedToDragon: After [[spoiler:Malware's defeat]], he now serves Princess Attea. |
| 175 | * DidntThinkThisThrough: [[spoiler:He managed to keep Azmuth from teleporting out, but didn't stop him from teleporting Ben in.]] |
| 176 | * EnemyMine: He teams up with Ben and Ben 23 to escape from Mad Ben, and repairs their Omnitrixes. He double-crosses them of course by rigging the Omnitrixes to explode if they transformed into Clockwork and Upgrade, but then the Bens undo it by transforming into Grey Matter/Brain Frog. |
| 177 | * EvilCounterpart: To Azmuth, with both being genius scientists and the first and second smartest minds in the universe respectively. Though the two are opposite sides of the moral spectrum, with Azmuth being the BigGood while Psychobos is a MadScientist who constantly forms villainous partnerships. |
| 178 | * EvilGenius: He's the main MadScientist for hire in Omniverse. To his frustration no matter what he does his evil genius will always be second to the Galvan race. |
| 179 | * ExBigBad: He was part of a TerribleTrio in the Nemetrix arc where they mostly had equal say, with Psychobos slightly calling the shots. But in all subsequent appearances, he is DemotedToDragon and plays second fiddle to the main villain. |
| 180 | * FantasticRacism: He expresses this toward the Galvans, for whom he is trying to prove Cerebrocrustaceans are superior to. [[spoiler:Then taken to horrible extremes when he actually develops a plan to ''eradicate'' their species from the galaxy.]] |
| 181 | ** This seems to be a common trait among Cerebrocrustacreans, as in ''Alien Force'', Ben, as Brainstorm, suggested that he was smarter than Azmuth because his brain was bigger. Respectively, some dialogues from Blukic and Driba suggest that some Galvan are racist toward Cerebrocrustaceans as well (though it may have been at least partially taunting). |
| 182 | * GiantEnemyCrab: Not as large as most, but big and an antagonist. |
| 183 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler:Azmuth turns the Nemetrix against him by building a whistle to take control of Khyber's pet and make him turn into the Cerebrocrustaceans' natural predator.]] |
| 184 | * HumiliationConga: [[spoiler:[[HoistByHisOwnPetard Defeated by the very thing he created]], betrayed by Khyber, and arrested by the same species he despises so much. All in the span of a minute. And to add insult to injury, one of the Galvan arresting him calls him a dummy.]] |
| 185 | * {{Hypocrite}}: He constantly calls the Galvan arrogant and accuses them of suffering a superiority complex. He considers himself the greatest mind in the ''entire Universe'' (whereas Azmuth says he is the greatest mind in three galaxies, arguably five), and his whole motivation centers around proving that his own species is superior to Galvan. |
| 186 | * InsufferableGenius: He's basically Albedo as a Cerebrocrustacean. |
| 187 | * KnowWhenToFoldEm: In "Outbreak" once he gets the piece of the Omnitrix he wants, he immediately makes a break for it. |
| 188 | * MadScientist: A crazy scientist sick with jealousy of the Galvans, to the point of having very few to no moral scruples in his work. |
| 189 | * MyBrainIsBig: Huge in fact. |
| 190 | * TheManBehindTheMan: [[spoiler:He is the one who hired Khyber to go after Ben.]] |
| 191 | * NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: seriously, with a name like this, how can there be any doubt about him being a MadScientist? |
| 192 | * NonActionBigBad: Aside from stealing Ben's stabilizer, he didn't accomplish much for most of the first two story arcs, contenting himself with planning and technical support. |
| 193 | ** [[spoiler:Averted in the Incursean story arc, where he at least fought Ben thanks to a mecha in "While You Were Away" and proves quite a challenge to Blukic, Driba and Rook when they confront him. It would seem he ''is'' fairly good in a fight, it's just that his associates ([[GeniusBruiser Malware]], [[EgomaniacHunter Khyber]], and later [[SociopathicSoldier Attea]]) [[OvershadowedByAwesome tend to be threatening enough to make him look weak by comparison]].]] |
| 194 | * NonStandardCharacterDesign: Dr. Psychobos is blue, has a different body shape than other Cerebrocrustaceans shown, and has one large claw, similar to a fiddler crab. According to WordOfGod, this is because he is not a typical Cerebrocrustacean. |
| 195 | * NotSoHarmlessVillain: For most of season 1, he seems to be the least dangerous of the three main villains. [[spoiler:Then his plan turns out to involve genocide of all Galvan...]] |
| 196 | * OnlySaneMan: Between the BigBadEnsemble of [[TheSociopath Malware]], [[EgomaniacHunter Khyber]], and himself, his only major problem is that he is very smug, but aside from that, he seems to be the sanest of the bunch. |
| 197 | ** Similarly, he is generally more reasonable than Attea and can't stand her bratty outbursts, though he can't do much about it. |
| 198 | * PowerFloats: "Outbreak" shows that he has the ability to hover. |
| 199 | * RedOniBlueOni: the blue to [[spoiler:Malware]]'s red. Even reflected by their colors. |
| 200 | * RedRightHand: One of his pincers is ''much'' larger than the other. |
| 201 | * SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: He is from Brainstorm's species; what did you expect? |
| 202 | * ShockAndAwe: He has technology in his brain that (presumably) increases the strength of his natural electrical powers. |
| 203 | * SmugSnake: Constantly boasting of his genius to anyone who would listen, but he's not smart as he wishes he was. |
| 204 | * StarfishAlien: Like most of his race, he is way removed from any humanoid race. |
| 205 | * TheStarscream: To Princess Attea. It's pretty clear he would gladly stab her in the back if he had the occasion. Sadly for him, she keeps an eye on him. |
| 206 | * TooDumbToLive: He included ''his own natural predator'' in the Nemetrix and expected that not to backfire horribly. |
| 207 | * UnderestimatingBadassery: What ultimately leads to his downfall. By not recognizing Ben as a threat to his plans and focusing only on Azmuth, he's [[spoiler:unprepared for Azmuth teleporting Ben in to help]]. |
| 208 | * UnknownRival: To Azmuth. He believes Galvans, especially Azmuth, have a big superiority complex and tries to prove that Cerebrocrustaceans are smarter than them. Azmuth, however, thinks that trying to prove who's the smartest is a complete waste of time and energy. |
| 209 | * VerbalTic: He tends to stutter on random words. |
| 210 | * VillainDecay: His first full appearance featured he do something that had him ''win''. Later appearances play up his comical quirks and don't make him terribly threatening. By the time of the Incursean Story arc, he has been mostly reduced to being Attea's ButtMonkey. He lampshades this in "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad Ben World". |
| 211 | -->'''Dr. Psychobos''': So this is what it's come to? The greatest mind in the galaxy reduced to mere tech support? |
| 212 | * WorldsSmartestMan: Actually the second smartest being in the universe, the first being Azmuth, which he is very upset about. Psychobos is constantly trying to take the top spot for himself by either defeating or killing Azmuth. |

| 216 | !!Khyber |
| 217 | [[quoteright:287:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Khyber_and_pet_3888.PNG]] |
| 218 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/DavidKaye |
| 219 | -->''"[[PetTheDog You do well, old friend]]. [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass But this Ben Tennyson is more powerful than I imagined. And resourceful.]] [[HuntingTheMostDangerousGame He will be our greatest trophy]]. [[EgomaniacHunter Khyber the Huntsman promises it]]."'' |
| 220 | |
| 221 | An alien EgomaniacHunter who seemed to serve as the main villain in the first season of ''Omniverse'', [[spoiler:but was really TheDragon to Malware, the true main antagonist]]. Khyber is accompanied by an alien dog-like creature known as an Anubian Baskurr which he equips with the "Nemetrix", a device similar to the Omnitrix that allows his pet to turn into various predatory species. He went to Earth following rumors about Ben's heroic acts and sees the boy as a worthy prey to add to his trophies. |
| 222 | ---- |
| 223 | * AwesomeAussie: He has a thick Australian accent to go along with his hunting persona. |
| 224 | * AffablyEvil: He is quiet and polite in addition to having a sense of honor. However, he will not hesitate to add your head to his trophy collection if you're his prey. |
| 225 | * ArcVillain: Of the first story arc. [[spoiler:He's later revealed to be acting as TheHeavy to Malware.]] |
| 226 | * BadassBoast: "Choose wisely, Tennyson. Whichever alien you pick, will be your last!" |
| 227 | * BadassNormal: Aside from some odd bits of physiology like gills and maybe slight SuperStrength, he has no obvious superpowers. WordOfGod compares him to Vilgax as ComicBook/CaptainAmerica is to ComicBook/{{Thanos}}. Yet he's able to go toe to toe with some of Ben's more powerful aliens like Rath. |
| 228 | * TheBeastmaster: Has a dog whom he tamed to an extent. |
| 229 | * BenevolentBoss: [[ZigZaggingTrope Zig-zagged]]; On one hand, he treats both of his pets kindly, complimenting and comforting them, refers to them as "friends", and gets irritated when they are mocked. On the other hand, he never feeds them himself and instead forces them to hunt for their own food so they will keep their hunting instincts, doesn't bother giving them names, and [[spoiler:has no problem leaving Zed behind after taking the Nemetrix when he escapes]]. Seems to be a major case of BlueAndOrangeMorality. |
| 230 | * BerserkButton: He doesn't take belittling his skills or his pet kindly. |
| 231 | * BigBadDuumvirate: |
| 232 | ** With Malware and Psychobos for the Nemetrix arcs, with Khyber as TheHeavy in the first season. |
| 233 | ** With Albedo for the ''Duel of the Duplicates''. |
| 234 | * TheBusCameBack: He disappears from the Season Two finale, escaping with the Nemetrix and was [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse not brought up again]] afterward. [[spoiler:He returns in "The Ultimate Heist", which featured him teaming up with Albedo.]] |
| 235 | * CrazyPrepared: The flashback sequence that features him hunting the predators for the Nemetrix portrays him as this. He seems to have equipment specifically built to face each one of them. |
| 236 | * TheDogBitesBack: [[spoiler:He leaves Psychobos to be arrested by the Galvans as revenge for the scientist trying to MindRape him into fighting Azmuth instead of Ben. He then disappears with the Nemetrix without a word. Moreover, he doesn't even bother to take Ben away.]] |
| 237 | * TheDragon: [[spoiler:First to Malware]]. |
| 238 | ** DragonWithAnAgenda [[spoiler:It's suggested that Khyber either doesn't trust Malware or has plans of his own. He is shown in an episode infiltrating the Plumbers' Headquarters to get information about Malware's origins and motivations, suggesting he is trying to inform himself on his hirers. Later, "Outbreak" makes it quite clear that, while Malware and Psychobos are primarily interesting in getting their Omnitrix and besting Azmuth, he is only concerned with getting Ben as a trophy and doesn't really care about their goal. He also partially tells Rook about Malware's plan in "Malefactor", saying he "has his reasons" for such a revelation. This plays against both of them when an assassination attempt on Azmuth fails because Khyber wants to focus on Ben.]] |
| 239 | *** [[spoiler:Don't forget that he included Dr. Psychobos' natural predator in the Nemetrix. It seems the guy never seemed to fully trust anyone but himself. But to be fair, that was also Brainstorm's natural predator, so if Ben ever transformed into Brainstorm...]] |
| 240 | ** [[spoiler:He became the Dragon to Albedo in the fourth story arc.]] |
| 241 | * DrillSergeantNasty: [[spoiler:While he didn't bother feeding Zed when she was his pet, it wasn't out of egotism or cruelty. He merely believed that, by forcing her to hunt her own food, that would allow her to keep her hunting instincts and make her more effective.]] |
| 242 | * EgomaniacHunter: He is one in a very Franchise/{{Predator}}-like way, he apparently likes to hunt down various alien creatures and keeps trophies of them. He precisely goes after Ben because he considers him a "Worthy Prey". |
| 243 | * EvilCounterpart: |
| 244 | ** Of Ben to an extent. His Nemetrix is described by the producers as a kind of "Evil Omnitrix". |
| 245 | ** In a way, he's a more fitting counterpart to Rook. They are both extremely skilled {{Badass Normal}}s, [[spoiler:act as {{Hypercompetent Sidekick}}s to their egotistical and somewhat narcissistic bosses (this goes for both Psychobos ''and'' Albedo)]], and both work with partners that rely on biological powers and shapeshifting while he and Rook use wit and cunning to win fights. Plus, their relationships with their counterparts are reversed: Khyber is the master and treats his pet well and respects it, while Ben is Rook's superior officer and openly argues with him. |
| 246 | * {{Expy}}: He's basically an alien version of [[ComicBook/SpiderMan Kraven the Hunter]], being a hunter who views a superhero as worthy prey. He also shares similarities with the Franchise/{{Predator}}, and to an extent, [[WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated Lockdown]] and [[WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime Airachnid]]. |
| 247 | * GeniusBruiser: An extremely skilled hunter and fighter, with an eye for catching and taking wild animals. |
| 248 | * TheHeavy: He was the main threat of the Nemetrix arc, as Psychobos remained behind the scenes for the most while Malware was mainly the flashback villain and remained inactive for most of the present. |
| 249 | * HuntingTheMostDangerousGame: Hunting the most dangerous game: [[IdiotHero Ben Tennyson]]. |
| 250 | * KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler:Malware is defeated, Psychobos is arrested, but Khyber still remains at large.]] |
| 251 | ** [[spoiler:He also escapes after Albedo is defeated, but this time he loses the Nemetrix.]] |
| 252 | ** [[spoiler:It's finally averted after he's defeated as Tyrannopede.]] |
| 253 | * {{Hypocrite}}: [[spoiler:In "For A Few Brains More", Khyber calls Zed a "traitorous cur" for being with Kevin despite the fact that he abandoned her. Technically, Zed betrayed him first, as Ben found a way to turn her against him.]] |
| 254 | * IdiotBall: If he didn't freak out upon seeing Pesky Dust, the heroes wouldn't have had any hint where to look for Albedo and Ben would have continued thinking Pesky Dust was totally useless. |
| 255 | * KnightOfCerebus: He is the first major villain in ''Omniverse'' to ''not'' be played for laughs, combined with the fact he is hell-bent on killing Ben and will hunt him to the ends of the Earth. |
| 256 | * KnowWhenToFoldEm: He calls off his pet when he sees Rook helping Ben, acknowledging his pet being outnumbered. |
| 257 | * {{Leitmotif}}: A quiet, creepy theme plays whenever he is in his ship. |
| 258 | * OutOfCharacterMoment: At one point during "Of Predators and Prey: Part 2", when it appears that he's been captured, he ''joins in'' Rook and Ben's small scuffle about Rook usually having to save Ben's life rather briefly, dropping the [[KnightOfCerebus less humorous qualities]] of the character for just a few seconds. [[spoiler:It turns out he was faking submission to better surprise them.]] |
| 259 | * TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: Towards Ben. Since he planned to take Ben as his trophy, he will not let anyone but him to slay him, to the point of sending his pet to interfere, as Psyphon and Animo found out. [[spoiler:This later puts him at odds with his employers as he put his goal to make Ben a trophy before his mission.]] |
| 260 | * PsychoForHire: To Malware and Psychobos. Yes, he is AffablyEvil, but he is still technically a SerialKiller. |
| 261 | * TheStoic: Geberalky reacts to everything with a dull look. |
| 262 | ** NotSoStoic: Despite his usually quiet attitude, he's quickly irritated when Ben [[IShallTauntYou mocks and taunts him]]. He's also not above a back and forth "Rath Season", "Khyber Season" quip-off. |
| 263 | * SerialKiller: Most of his trophies are sentient alien species, essentially making him an alien version of this. |
| 264 | * SkeletonsInTheCoatCloset: WordOfGod is that his torso armor is made from the bones of some of his previous targets. |
| 265 | * SpikesOfVillainy: Has spikes on his outfit. |
| 266 | * TrophyRoom: His whole ship is a trophy room. Among his prizes are a Vulpimancer-skin rug, a Geochelone Aerio shell, an Appoplexian skeleton, and a Crabdozer head. |
| 267 | * VillainDecay: He never quite regains the danger he posed in the first two arcs via being humiliated in a later arc. His last appearance "Stuck on You" brings back some of his intimidation factor, though he makes a ''major'' mistake in judgment in trusting Skurd, who latches himself to Ben's Omnitrix due to containing more DNA. |
| 268 | * VillainHasAPoint: You can't really disagree with him when he points out how Ben should treat his partners better. |
| 269 | * VillainTeamUp: [[spoiler:In "The Ultimate Heist", he works with Albedo.]] |
| 270 | * WeaksauceWeakness: [[spoiler:He's afraid of Nemuinas (Pesky Dust's species).]] |
| 271 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: He completely disappears from the story after "Showdown: Part 1", and hasn't been mentioned since. |
| 272 | ** [[spoiler:He's back in "The Ultimate Heist.", now working with Albedo.]] |
| 273 | * WorthyOpponent: How he sees Ben, though more like "Worthy Prey". |
| 274 | -->"I am the Ultimate Predator. You are the Ultimate Prey." |
| 275 | * YouHaveFailedMe: A notable {{Aversion}}; he ''never'' punishes his pet for failure to get Ben, and will usually even comfort it. |

| 277 | !!Khyber's New Pet |
| 278 | [[quoteright:320:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/pnunsian_6271.png]] |
| 279 | |
| 280 | After abandoning his previous pet, Khyber obtained a new pet. It is a Panuncian from the planet Hathor, the homeworld of Ditto's species, the Splixsons, and is their natural predator. |
| 281 | ---- |
| 282 | * FangsAreEvil: Vicious fangs. |
| 283 | * MesACrowd: As the natural predator of Ditto's species, it also has the ability to duplicate itself. [[spoiler:And thanks to the Nemetrix, each copy can transform into a different predator.]] |
| 284 | * OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler:Thanks to Albedo's upgrades to the Nemetrix, it's capable of turning into an Ultimate Panuncian.]] |
| 285 | * RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Red and black and serves an evil master. |
| 286 | * {{Shapeshifting}}: Does this with the Nemetrix. |
| 287 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: It was never seen again after escaping with Khyber in "For a Few Brains More". |

| 296 | |
| 297 | The secret Black Ops branch of the Null Void Plumbers who went rogue. |
| 298 | ---- |
| 299 | !!Tropes applying to the group as a whole: |
| 300 | * ArcVillain: Of the sixth story arc in ''Omniverse''. |
| 301 | * ArtificialHybrid: [[WasOnceAMan They all are former humans]] who gained alien characteristics from [[spoiler:experimenting on Kevin when he was in the Null Void]]. |
| 302 | ** Proctor Servantis: Human/Cerebrocrustacean (Brainstorm's species) |
| 303 | ** Agent Swift: Human/Aerophibian (Jetray's species) |
| 304 | ** Magister Leander: Human/Prypiatosian-B (NRG's species) |
| 305 | ** Phil Billings: Human/Terroranchula |
| 306 | * DarkIsEvil[=/=]EvilWearsBlack: Their uniforms are a black PaletteSwap of Rook's Proto-Tech Armor. They tested the design in the Null Void before it made its way to the Plumbers. |
| 307 | %%* EvilCounterpart: To the Plumbers. (zero context example) |
| 308 | * {{Hypocrite}}: They believe [[spoiler:Ben needs to die on the basis that so much power shouldn't be in the hands of an immature, irresponsible child]]. Their master plan to reach this goal involves [[spoiler:giving alien-based superpowers to ''several'' random kids they collected, which they eventually left running on Earth with no control]]. And to add to the hypocrisy, [[spoiler:this little hit squad was led by ''Kevin'', a superpowered kid who already had a criminal record back then and whose ability specifically causes him to turn psychotic whenever he gets in contact with the Omnitrix]]. For people so concerned about [[spoiler:killing a child for being dangerous, they sure are good at creating ''more'' dangerous superpowered kids. WordOfGod is they were responsible for creating Aggregor as well, someone ''massively'' more dangerous than Ben ever could be, making them look even more hypocritical if possible.]] |
| 309 | * IronicHell: [[spoiler:They are punished for their actions by having their status as Plumbers revoked and being left in the Null Void, their base of operations... ''after'' the Plumbers beam out everything but the clothes on their backs.]] |
| 310 | * KnightOfCerebus: The first major ''Omniverse'' villains since Malware to significantly change the tone of the episode they first appeared in, where the Plumbers are clearly uncomfortable with dealing with them and their ties to [[spoiler:Kevin, Argit, and the Plumbers' Helpers]]. |
| 311 | * MurderIsTheBestSolution: They ''really'' don't need to [[spoiler:kill Ben to accomplish their goal, seeing how Ben is a harmless kid without the Omnitrix, just taking it away from it and destroying it would be sufficient]]. Yet, they decide it's best to [[spoiler:eliminate both him and the Omnitrix]]. |
| 312 | * ObviouslyEvil: The Rooters are so transparently sinister that, despite ostensibly being on the same side and answering to the same authority, the Plumbers immediately resolve to oppose them as thoroughly as they believe they can get away with. |
| 313 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: All of them are antagonists with red eyes except for Phil, when he's not in his Terroranchula hybrid form. |
| 314 | * RenegadeSplinterFaction: They are an offshoot of the Plumbers, founded by a former Plumber scientist, Proctor Servantis. [[spoiler:They eventually lose their Plumber support and HQ.]] |
| 315 | * TokenHuman: Phil Billings is the only member whose alien characteristics are only shown when transforming. |
| 316 | * VaguenessIsComing: They warn of some existential threat that only they have the means to stop. Ben and Max are pretty convinced it's a load of bull so they can keep experimenting on aliens. [[spoiler:It's then revealed that Ben is the threat, on the logic that his power is too great for him alone to possess. The Amalgam Kids were created to destroy him.]] |
| 317 | * VillainBall: In their first appearance, they could probably have easily acquired the Plumbers' help if they had just given a fake good reason ''why'' they are looking for Kevin and kept a benevolent facade. Instead, they show up without warning, act [[ObviouslyEvil all suspicious]] and arrogant, ask where Kevin is without explaining anything, and Servantis proceeds to painfully MindProbe almost every Plumber recruit around for information without even giving them a chance to answer normally first. As a result, the Plumbers do everything they can to disturb their efforts and eventually turn against them. |
| 318 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: ZigZagged. They do make a [[JerkAssHasAPoint legitimate argument]] about questioning the wisdom of [[spoiler:letting a kid wield a watch that can turn him into anything from a [[AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever skyscraper-sized alien]] to a being who literally [[RealityWarper recreated the universe]]]]. The problem is [[MadScientist their methods are]] [[MurderIsTheBestSolution far from what you would call moral]]. In addition, the whole premise behind their methods is the idea [[spoiler:Ben '''might''' become a threat to the universe, not '''is''' a threat]]. [[spoiler: The fact they apparently created [[BigBad Aggregor]] and just let him loose on the universe, really undermines any point they have by their sheer irresponsibility.]] |
| 319 | * WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler:The Rooters considered killing Ben a necessity for creating a safe and better universe.]] |

| 323 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/CharlieAdler |
| 324 | |
| 325 | The leader of the Rooters. |
| 326 | ---- |
| 327 | * AmplifierArtifact: The crystal on his forehead amplifies his Cerebrocrustacean abilities. [[spoiler:When Kevin destroys it he loses his mind control over the Plumber's kids.]] |
| 328 | * BaldOfEvil: Even when he was human, he had not a single hair on his head and was a villainous soul to match. |
| 329 | * BeardOfEvil: Has a goatee, both as a human and an evil ArtificialHybrid. |
| 330 | * BigBad: The leader of the Rooters in their StoryArc. |
| 331 | * BondVillainStupidity: He and the other Rooters had [[spoiler:Ben as their prisoner]] in "The Rooters of All Evil" and could have easily ended all of this by [[spoiler:just [[WhyDontYouJustShootHim killing him right now]]]], as pointed out by Swift, but Servantis instead decides to [[spoiler:let him go]] and stick to their ridiculously complicated plan on the justification that "He is tougher than he looks". Even though at this point, [[spoiler:Ben was unconscious, their prisoner and in human form, meaning they could have killed him with just one blast and then disposed of the body and the Omnitrix]]. |
| 332 | * ComplexityAddiction: He's insisting on sticking to his ludicrously complicated plan over [[WhyDontYouJustShootHim something more simple and practical]]. |
| 333 | * {{Expy}}: He is also rather similar in appearance to the ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'' Decepticon Mindwipe, who had the power of hypnosis. |
| 334 | ** His role as a former galactic peacekeeper gone rogue bares some similarities to [[Franchise/GreenLantern Sinestro]]. He looks a bit like Sinestro in his alien form. |
| 335 | * FauxAffablyEvil: He behaves in a polite way even when using his painful Cerebrocrustacean powers on Plumbers to get what he wants and has no problem [[spoiler: using children as test subjects.]] |
| 336 | * GreaterScopeVillain: Aggregor was acting on his own, as Servantis wiped his memory before setting him loose, but as his creator, he is indirectly responsible for Aggregor's actions. |
| 337 | * LaserGuidedAmnesia: [[spoiler:He inflicted this on Kevin, Argit, Max and all the Plumber's Helpers.]] |
| 338 | * LeanAndMean: The thinnest Rooter, and the leader who [[spoiler: experimented on children so that they could kill Ben.]] |
| 339 | * MadScientist: He experiments on children in order to create alien-powered super-soldiers. |
| 340 | * ManipulativeBastard: Even without his powers, he has a very persuasive effect on people's minds. |
| 341 | * MindControl: He used his powers to force Zed into submission. [[spoiler:He also mind controlled the Plumber's helpers until Kevin destroyed the crystal on his forehead.]] |
| 342 | * MindOverMatter: In a flashback he sent a tank flying out of anger. |
| 343 | * MindProbe / MindRape: He can use his part-Cerebrocrustacean powers to read minds. The process is uncomfortable at best, and painful at worst (with Servantis claiming that struggling can cause severe damage). |
| 344 | * MyBrainIsBig: His half-Cerebrocrustacean body gives Servantis a very large forehead to contain his big brain. |
| 345 | * NoManShouldHaveThisPower: He feels that something as powerful as the [[spoiler:Omnitrix]] should not be in the possession of someone as unpredictable and immature as [[spoiler:Ben]] |
| 346 | * NoSell: While he can [[spoiler:alter Kevin's memories]], he cannot [[spoiler:read or control his mind]]. |
| 347 | * TheSociopath: He has no consideration for anyone as fellow life forms, but as things to either use or destroy. |
| 348 | * SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: He is a rather blatant one of Driscoll, down to looking the same before his transformation into a Cerebrocrustacean hybrid. |
| 349 | * {{Telepathy}}: In addition to his single target MindProbe, he can read surface thoughts within a certain range. |

| 381 | !Evil Bens |
| 382 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YuriLowenthal |
| 383 | |
| 384 | Alternate Bens that Vilgax and Eon worked to corrupt to have their own army of Omnitrix-wielders. |
| 385 | ---- |
| 386 | !!In general: |
| 387 | * AllThereInTheScript: Almost all of them, sans Eon, Albedo and Mad Ben, are unnamed in the show, but can be found online. |
| 388 | * EvilCounterpart[=/=]EvilTwin: Due to all of them being evil versions of Ben Tennyson, with Bad Ben having most of it. Amusingly, Albedo is among them as well. |
| 389 | * FallenHero: What some of them are bound to be, due to Vilgax and Eon corrupting them. Eon himself is also an alternate Ben. |
| 390 | * FlatCharacter: They aren't very well-defined as characters beyond aesthetic and personality traits to keep them identifiable. Mad Ben is the sole exception, being the focus of a two-parter at the end of ''Omniverse'''s seventh arc. |
| 391 | * PaletteSwap: They all have different color themes among them, which carry over to the Alien they transform into. Most, however, have surprisingly distinct appearances, with only two of them really using Ben's normal design, just modified (Bad Ben has black hair and an aqua theme, while Nega Ben wears Ben's hoodie, just pulled over and covering his right eye, with his color theme being gray). Mad Ben's aliens avert this, having distinct appearances from Ben's. |
| 392 | * WeakWilled: The reason Vilgax and Eon were able to corrupt them. |
| 393 | |
| 394 | !!Bad Ben |
| 395 | [[quoteright:191:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bad_ben_7976.png]] |
| 396 | |
| 397 | The first evil alternate Ben to be introduced. He is the first to find No Watch Ben and attack him, soon allowing the others to follow. |
| 398 | ---- |
| 399 | * AllThereInTheManual: What little is known about his background. According to WordOfGod, his homeworld is one where "everyone is just desperate." |
| 400 | * DeadpanSnarker: He is the closest to the regular Ben, resulting in him having some of the same wit. |
| 401 | %%* EvilBrunetteTwin: Notable for being the only black-haired Ben. (Describe the "evil" part.) |
| 402 | * FlatCharacter: Bad Ben is easily the most generic out of all of the Evil Bens. He has no personality or motivation of note, he's evil simply just because. According to WordOfGod, while the other Evil Bens had some backstory written for them, there is nothing for Bad Ben. |
| 403 | * IShallTauntYou: Takes a twisted pleasure in mocking No Watch Ben's surprise and confusion before actually trying to kill him. |
| 404 | -->'''No Watch Ben''' (after seeing him transform): This is impossible! |
| 405 | -->'''Bad Ben'''[=/=]'''Ghostfreak''': Hardly. Though I realize none of this makes sense from your point of view. If I were a nice guy, I would explain why you must be destroyed... (reveals his CombatTentacles) But I am ''not'' a nice guy! |
| 406 | * LackOfEmpathy: Doesn't have a second thought about killing his alternate self. |
| 407 | * PaletteSwap: All the other alternate versions of Ben seen so far, good or evil, have unique designs with their own features. He on the other hand is identical to mainstream Ben, only with black hair. |
| 408 | * WhatIsEvil: When he and the other evil Ben are referred as such by mainstream Ben, he answers that evil is "relative". |
| 409 | |
| 410 | !!Benzarro |
| 411 | [[quoteright:214:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/benzarro_ben_10_omni_5446.png]] |
| 412 | |
| 413 | An alternate version of Ben from a ZombieApocalypse timeline. |
| 414 | ---- |
| 415 | * AllThereInTheManual: His backstory is only known through WordOfGod. |
| 416 | * AndThenJohnWasAZombie: Presumably his backstory. |
| 417 | * BodyHorror: Well, he is a zombie; what did you expect? |
| 418 | * EverythingsDeaderWithZombies: Though instead of craving flesh, he's just kind of [[DumbMuscle brainless.]] |
| 419 | * {{Expy}}: A send-up of Bizarro, at least in name and [[HulkSpeak manner of speak]]. His design borrows far more from the Circus Freaks in Prime Ben's RoguesGallery. Also, the little we know about his backstory is quite reminiscent of ''ComicBook/MarvelZombies''. |
| 420 | * FlatScare: His first line of dialogue is "Boo". |
| 421 | * HulkSpeak: Refers to himself in the third person for the most part, due to being the least intelligent Ben, or at the least, most crazy. |
| 422 | * InformedAbility: See TheUndead. |
| 423 | * InstitutionalApparel: Wears a straitjacket with the arms undone and Omnitrix over one of the sleeves. |
| 424 | * TheUndead: All his alien forms are this, according to WordOfGod. Ironically, the only aliens he was seen using (Frankenstrike and Snare-oh) are from species that are already undead-looking, so they don't look so different from their prime versions. Derrick J. Wyatt drew designs for Benzarro's Upgrade and Way Big, and their appearances were based on Maleware's first form and a Way Bad, giving them more skeletal and monstrous appearances. |
| 425 | ** WordOfGod confirms that Ben himself is infected with a virus and comes from a ZombieApocalypse world. |
| 426 | * ZombieApocalypse: The universe that he comes from. |
| 427 | |
| 428 | !!Nega Ben |
| 429 | [[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/negaben.png]] |
| 430 | |
| 431 | An alternate version of Ben who appears to be goth. |
| 432 | ---- |
| 433 | * EmoTeen: Appears to be one, given he doesn't care much for what's going on around him, and not even being defeated by No Watch Ben bothered him much. WordOfGod states that even turning into [[HotBlooded Rath or Atomix]] wouldn't change his attitude. |
| 434 | * InTheHood: Constantly seen wearing a hood. |
| 435 | * NotAsYouKnowThem: His entire universe is this compared to the rest. Aside from Nega Ben being emo, Nega Gwen is a cheerleader, and Nega Kevin is a SurferDude. |
| 436 | * NotSoStoic: He soils himself as Gutrot when he sees the Chronosapien Time Bomb's explosion right in his face. |
| 437 | * TokenGoodTeammate: Of the evil alternate Bens. WordOfGod says that Nega Ben literally does nothing with his Negatrix, not for personal gain, nor for fighting villains. He's more or less just a neutral character, seemingly only in the conflict out of boredom. |
| 438 | |
| 439 | !!Mad Ben |
| 440 | [[quoteright:247:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mad_ben_7180.png]] |
| 441 | |
| 442 | An alternate version of Ben who used the Omnitrix to enslave and seize power rather than become a hero. He is a tyrant and warlord in his dimension. |
| 443 | ---- |
| 444 | * AnimeHair: A very [[TheApunkalypse Apunkalyptic]] pompadour. |
| 445 | * ArcVillain: The main antagonist of the seventh story arc, as Ben Prime and Ben 23 are stranded in his world. |
| 446 | * AscendedExtra: He goes from one of the minions to Vilgax and Eon to becoming an ArcVillain for Arc 7 in "It's a Mad...Ben World" two-parter. |
| 447 | * BorrowedCatchphrase: He uses Dr. Psychobos' "...And I use the term ''loosely''" when mocking him. |
| 448 | * TheDragon: To Maltruant. |
| 449 | * {{Egopolis}}: He renamed the destroyed Bellwood "Benwood". |
| 450 | * EvilMentor: According to himself, he was taught everything he knows by Maltruant and "Vilgax the Benevolent". |
| 451 | * EvilOverlord: He rules as the tyrant of his dimension. |
| 452 | * TheHeavy: For Maltruant, who uses him to keep Ben Prime and Ben 23 at bay while he completes his plans. |
| 453 | * ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne: When [[spoiler:his Rook turns against him]] and calls him a "petty, little thug", it's the "[[YourLittleDismissiveDiminutive little]]" that really ticks him off. |
| 454 | * NoKillLikeOverkill: He transforms into ''Way Big'' in an attempt to crush Ben Prime and Ben 23. |
| 455 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: They're orange, but it's close enough. |
| 456 | * ShoutOut: His design sensibilities are based upon ''Film/MadMax''. |
| 457 | * SpikesOfVillainy: In keeping with his ''Mad Max'' theme, both his human and alien forms have very spiky designs. |
| 458 | * UnwittingPawn: Maltruant used Mad Ben to recover his key, then left Mad Ben to his own devices. |
| 459 | ** And also to Vilgax, who he calls Vilgax the Benevolent. Evidently, the two have been putting bad ideas into his head. |

| 467 | |
| 468 | |
| 469 | The antagonist in the Time War arc. He was first mentioned in "Ben Again", and makes his debut at the end of "Fight at the Museum". He is a Chronosapien (Clockwork's species). |
| 470 | ---- |
| 471 | * BeamOWar: He and Clockwork, who is enhanced by Ben 23's Upgrade, do this. Maltruant wins, disabling their Omnitrixes, proving just how powerful he is. |
| 472 | * BigBad: Of the Time War story arc. |
| 473 | * CardCarryingVillain: Going by his notion that Azmuth is "too smart to be evil", he's aware that villainy is dumb but doesn't care. |
| 474 | * ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: He abandoned Mad Ben after he found his key. When Eon brought him a Time Beast-pulled chariot, Maltruant pushed him off, and took the reins, leaving him behind. He even abandoned his most faithful servants, Exo-Skull and Subdora, in his haste to enact his end game strategy. |
| 475 | * DarkLordOnLifeSupport: Initially. He has Dr. Psychobos repair him, and regains his powers once the head key is restored. |
| 476 | * DismantledMacGuffin: His own body. The first time he was defeated, Professor Paradox took three parts of him that were key to his powers and scattered them across time and space. He manages to find and retrieve them all after getting back on his feet. |
| 477 | %%* EvilCounterpart: To Clockwork. (zero context example) |
| 478 | %%* EvilMentor: Alongside Vilgax, to Mad Ben. (zero context example) |
| 479 | * FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler:He is stuck in a time loop doomed to failure, and he's completely unaware of it.]] |
| 480 | * FauxAffablyEvil: Personality-wise, he's not as threatening as he looks. He can be quite hammy at times, and he speaks in a pseudo-German accent like Clockwork. Don't be fooled though -- he holds nothing back to show that he's a dangerous criminal. |
| 481 | * FinalBoss: He is the last major antagonist in ''Omniverse'' and the Classic ''Ben 10'' franchise. |
| 482 | * GreaterScopeVillain: He is partially the reason Vilgax became interested in the Omnitrix in the first place, as well as the reason Vilgax has a Chronosapien Time Bomb. |
| 483 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler:Ben blasts him to bits with the energy from the very device he was trying to use to remake the universe in his image.]] |
| 484 | ** Going back to before time existed nullifies his powers. |
| 485 | * InTheirOwnImage: [[spoiler:His goal was to recreate the universe in his image.]] |
| 486 | * KnightOfCerebus: He is far less likely to be played humorously than a lot of Ben's enemies, especially with his ultimate goal of [[spoiler:remaking creation in his own image]]. |
| 487 | * LightningBruiser: With his control over time, he can avoid any attack and take down anyone with one attack simply by freezing them in time. |
| 488 | ** FlashStep: Can make it seem like he's in multiple places. |
| 489 | * MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch: Paradox describes him as a "rogue Chronosapien", thus implying that the rest of his species are more respectful of temporal integrity. |
| 490 | * {{Narcissist}}: When presented with the Contumelia, AppearanceIsInTheEyeOfTheBeholder beings that appear as the thing you hold most dear, while Ben and Rook see people close to them, Skurd sees masses of energy, he just sees himself. |
| 491 | * NighInvulnerability: If blown to bits, he'll just eventually rebuild himself. [[spoiler:Even Ben blasting him with energy equal to a ''Big Bang'' didn't ''kill'' him, only blasting him to bits. Thankfully, he's then trapped in a StableTimeLoop.]] |
| 492 | * NothingCanStopUsNow: He makes this boast when he's frozen Ben 10,000, Kai, and Gwen. Then Spanner brings in Ben and Rook from the past, causing him to immediately lampshade his error. |
| 493 | * RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Compared to the heroic Clockwork who's golden, he's mostly grey and black with a red glow, and you could [[ObviouslyEvil definitely assume he's evil.]] |
| 494 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: He glows red instead of green, and is as evil as that suggests. |
| 495 | * StableTimeLoop: [[spoiler:He reassembles himself, tries to remake the universe, Ben defeats him and breaks him apart, and Professor Paradox hides his pieces. The only one unaware of the loop is Maltruant himself.]] |
| 496 | * SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: It might be unintentional, but fans have noticed he shares similarities with Malware, being from the same species as one of Ben's aliens with a [[RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver red and black color scheme]] and a name starting with "Mal". |
| 497 | * TimeAbyss: If the quote above says so then he must've lived for thousands of years. |
| 498 | * TimeMaster: He demonstrates great skill in his abilities in actual combat. Can go places even Paradox can't go like the void before the universe was made. [[spoiler:However, since the void contains no time, it becomes a non-lethal KryptoniteFactor.]] |
| 499 | * VillainTeamUp: He briefly formed one with fellow time-based villain Eon. |

| 509 | |
| 510 | A gang of alien criminals introduced as Psyphon's henchmen. There are many members focused, few of them getting actual development, but three of them, Liam, Fistina and Bubble Helmet, are frequently seen working together. |
| 511 | ---- |
| 512 | * AbhorrentAdmirer: Fistina is this toward Rook. |
| 513 | * BladeBelowTheShoulder: Liam. |
| 514 | * BrawnHilda: Fistina; this is the kind of character that makes you think Looma isn't that ugly after all. |
| 515 | * EnemyMine: With Ben in "Rules of Engagement". |
| 516 | * {{Expy}}: Fistina's design is based on [[WesternAnimation/ChallengeOfTheGoBots Crasher]]. |
| 517 | * GoodCostumeSwitch: When she's deputized as a Plumber in "Final Countdown", Fistina's armor switches to the Plumber color scheme. |
| 518 | * HeelFaceTurn: In "Final Countdown", Fistina helps the Plumbers defeat Kundo, and is allowed to become a Plumber once she's served her time. |
| 519 | * HuskyRusskie: Fistina. |
| 520 | * JokeCharacter[=/=]IneffectualSympatheticVillain: From what can be gathered, they're Psyphon's top enforcers. They are nonetheless rather ineffective. |
| 521 | * OddNameOut: For a chicken-like alien, Liam is a pretty normal-sounding name. Which may or may not be a ShoutOut to [[VideoGame/HotlineMiami Richard]]. |
| 522 | * PetTheDog: Fistina gives up the Golden Fist because she can't bring herself to hurt Rook. |
| 523 | * PoweredArmor: Both Bubble Helmet and Fistina, though it's unclear whether Fistina is wearing one or just a cyborg herself. |
| 524 | * RedemptionPromotion: Once Fistina becomes a Plumber, she is far more effective as a heroic character than she was as a villain. |
| 525 | * RocketPunch: Fistina's main method of attack. |
| 526 | * PunchClockVillain: Some of them. Fistina, in particular, seems to have nothing personal against Ben and Rook, even flirting with Rook occasionally (much to his dismay). |
| 527 | * ShoutOut: Thunderpig is an obvious spoof of the WesternAnimation/ThunderCats, while Fistina looks (and kinda sounds) like Crasher from ''WesternAnimation/ChallengeOfTheGoBots''. |
| 528 | * SuperEmpowering / NiceJobFixingItVillain: at the end of "Outbreak", Liam accidentally adds Kickin Hawk to Ben's repertoire by touching the Omnitrix. |
| 529 | * TookALevelInBadass: In "Outbreak", the Omnitrix malfunctions and fuses them all with creatures. Fistina got fused with a Mechamorph, Bubble Helmet got fused with Shocksquatch, and Liam got fused with Humungousaur. Liam himself proved very efficient given his form, even punching Psyphon because he wasn't helping them in their initial escape. |
| 530 | * TerribleTrio: Liam, Fistina and Bubble Helmet when working together. Not on the level of the Circus Freak Trio, but they come close. |
| 531 | * TheUsualAdversaries: In ''Omniverse'', they are the most frequently seen villains. |
| 532 | * VillainousCrush: [[spoiler:Fistina towards Rook.]] |
| 533 | * WeaksauceWeakness: Bubble Helmet's species can only breathe an atmosphere that's toxic on Earth; as a result, he needs his suit to be able to breathe on Earth. |
| 534 | ** Also, Liam has some weird addiction to birdseed, and feel an urge to eat it whenever he sees some, even in inappropriate situations. |
| 535 | * YouKilledMyFather: Thunderpig once attacked Ben under the justification that Ben had supposedly eaten his father. Ben has no idea what he's talking about. |

| 542 | -->''"[[TheResenter I was richer than you, I was smarter than you... I should have been running that school!]]"'' |
| 543 | |
| 544 | Billy is an old classmate of Ben's back when he was eleven. He's a genius kid from a rich family who developed a huge complex toward Ben, feeling like Ben was getting all the attention instead of him. Eventually, his jealousy led him to attempt to get rid of him by sucking him to Dimension 12. Due to attacking him in his Diamondhead form, however, he ended up zapping himself and trapped himself to the age of 11 as a result due to time working differently here. Growing smarter with age, he eventually found a way to come back on Earth to attempt revenge on Ben. |
| 545 | ---- |
| 546 | * AttentionWhore: He is really desperate for attention to the point where he'll send Ben to Dimension 12 for being more popular than him. |
| 547 | * BigBadWannabe: He wants Ben to acknowledge him as his ArchEnemy and destroyer. Ben barely acknowledged him as a ''villain''. |
| 548 | * BodyguardBabes: He has one named Mazuma that is actually an android he built himself. |
| 549 | * ButtMonkey: He apparently was somehow even ''less'' popular than Ben at school (who in the Original Series was established to be pretty unpopular himself), his only attempt at getting rid of 10 years old Ben [[EpicFail resulted in him being trapped in another dimension without Ben even realizing he was being attacked]], the trip there left him stuck in the body of a little kid, and on top of this, when he finally ''does'' come back to get his revenge, not only does he learn his hated rival has become a world-famous superhero, but [[UnknownRival Ben doesn't remotely remember him]]. |
| 550 | * DevilishHairHorns: He's an evil teenager with a petty grudge against Ben, and his hair looks like a pair horns. |
| 551 | * DisproportionateRetribution: Seriously, he tried to send Ben to another dimension ruled by {{Killer Robot}}s because ''he was mad Ben got more attention than him''. |
| 552 | * DitzyGenius: He's smart, yes. He's also a spoiled brat, incapable of thinking ahead or coming up with an idea of his own. |
| 553 | * EvilIsPetty: Aside from the DisproportionateRetribution mentioned above, he expressed his intent to get revenge on everyone who supposedly wronged him. The next on his list after Ben? His school's lunch lady. |
| 554 | * GadgeteerGenius: While his maturity is debatable, his skills in robotics and machinery are definitely real. |
| 555 | * GoMadFromTheIsolation: At 11, he zapped himself to a universe where time does not progress and spent the next five years hiding from insane robots obsessed with killing organic life while remaining biologically 11. Lampshaded by Ben in his debut appearance. |
| 556 | * TheGreatestStoryNeverTold: He ''did'' save the world at the end of his debut appearance and got no credit for it. Still, considering [[BadassOnPaper he did it by mere luck]] and ''he'' was the one who brought the threat to begin with, his lack of credit is deserved. |
| 557 | * {{Gonk}}: Even among ''Omniverse'''s simpler art style, his design stands out as disproportioned and notably uglier than most human characters. |
| 558 | * GreenEyedMonster: He hates Ben due to him taking all the popularity at school when they were kids ([[UnreliableNarrator according to him at least]]). |
| 559 | * HairTriggerTemper: He is ''very'' easy to irritate. |
| 560 | * InsaneTrollLogic: When he and all of The Vengers try to ambush Ben and are easily defeated by Brainstorm, who Ben himself says isn't even one of his heavy hitters, all Billy does is say the fight proves that Ben is a SoreLoser who knows The Vengers are better than him. |
| 561 | * InsufferableGenius: He genuinely is brilliant when it comes to robotics and technology, but also happens to be a SpoiledBrat with the arrogance to match it. |
| 562 | * InTheBlood: In his own words: |
| 563 | --> '''Billy''': "I am a genius, by the way, born from geniuses; my parents basically invented modern robotics." |
| 564 | * ItsAllAboutMe: Everything he does is about him. |
| 565 | * MaliciousMisnaming: Ben ''intentionally'' gets his name wrong in "The Vengers", claiming that he can't be bothered to remember it. |
| 566 | * TheNapoleon: Amazingly, he is even smaller than 11 years old Ben. |
| 567 | * NeverMyFault: He blames Ben for ending up zapped in Dimension 12, but he would never have ended up in this place hadn't he tried to zap Ben in the first place. Moreover, Ben didn't even do anything to zap him: he wasn't even aware Billy even ''existed''. |
| 568 | * NotGrowingUpSucks: He sure seems to think so. |
| 569 | * OlderThanHeLooks: He is chronologically sixteen, but physically (and mentally) eleven. |
| 570 | * RememberTheNewGuy: Ben certainly doesn’t. Though he apparently knew Ben back when they were in elementary school. |
| 571 | * TheResenter: It pretty much sums up the reason he hates Ben. |
| 572 | * SmugSnake: He acts arrogant and insufferable, but he actually is one of Ben's least effective opponents. |
| 573 | * SpoiledBrat: Even if he actually is sixteen, he still acts like one. |
| 574 | * TooCleverByHalf: Not as smart as he thinks he is, and overestimates himself. |
| 575 | * UnknownRival: To Ben, much to his annoyance. |

| 587 | --->'''Fistrick:''' What the...? Ben 10? (chuckles) That you bro? |
| 588 | * BadassNormal: He's human, yet he's able to hold his own against Shocksquatch, albeit with insulated boots. He still was remarkably easy to beat up for Kickin' Hawk, though. |

| 590 | * TheBeastmaster: In "Bros In Space", he managed to turn Revonnah's Muriods into a formidable army, teaching them how to stand on two legs, operate machinery, and even taught them how to talk, though they could only say "Bro". Worth noting is that unlike Dr. Animo, he didn't use any machinery to do so. |
| 591 | * {{BFG}}: One of the weapons he frequently uses. |
| 592 | * BoisterousBruiser: Loves to boast in battle. |
| 593 | * TheBrute: Acts as this to his employers, often someone to throw at an opponent to beat them up. Though he’s a bit smarter than most. |
| 594 | * CharacterCatchphrase: "Bro". |
| 595 | %%* ConMan: His job. (zero context example) |
| 596 | * CombatPragmatist: In ''No Honor Among Bros'' he's shown using underhanded tactics in the Golden Fist Tournament, such as throwing salt in a Tetramand's face or [[spoiler:using an electromagnetic pulse device to dismantle Fistina.]] |
| 597 | * DelinquentHair: Crazy hair without anything on. |
| 598 | * {{Expy}}: |
| 599 | ** His design looks a lot like Creator/MarvelComics villain [[ComicBook/CaptainAmerica Crossbones]] and his shirt looks like Punisher's due to having a white skull on it. |
| 600 | ** He also resembles Creator/DCComics villain Bane, with both sharing SuperStrength and Fistrick's face paint resembling Bane's mask. |
| 601 | * GeniusBruiser: Given that he reverse-engineers and mass-produces alien technology, his intelligence must be above average. |
| 602 | ** Assuming, of course, he didn't just steal it or paid for it. He did mention he got at least part of his tech from "a guy". |
| 603 | ** He also comes up with a pretty impressive plan in one of the later seasons. |
| 604 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: How Ben managed to defeat him in his introductory episode, by using Gravattack to turn his missiles back at him. |
| 605 | * KnowsAGuyWhoKnowsAGuy: this exchange with Ben: |
| 606 | --->'''Ben (as Shocksquatch)''': How did you get to Revonnah? |
| 607 | --->'''Fisttrick''': I know a guy. |
| 608 | --->'''Ben (as Shocksquatch)''': How do you know about Amber Ogia? |
| 609 | --->'''Fisttrick''': I know a guy who knows a guy. |
| 610 | --->'''Ben (as Shocksquatch)''': And the harvesters? Oh, wait wait wait. Let me guess, eh: you know a guy. |
| 611 | --->'''Fisttrick''': ''[[DeadlyEuphemism Knew]]'' a guy. Past tense. |
| 612 | * NotSoHarmlessVillain: Despite being a muscle-bound thug in appearance and personality, Fistrick proved to be a competent adversary against Ben and Rook, and nearly blew up Rook's home planet had Ben not stopped him. |
| 613 | ** VillainDecay: His first two appearances presented him as a legitimately threatening villain, "Special Delivery" has him beaten ridiculously easy. |

| 620 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KimberlyBrooks |
| 621 | |
| 622 | A female Tetramand Princess who Kevin met during the time between the original series and Alien Force. In an attempt to get a piece of technology from the Tetramands, Kevin agreed to become Looma's fiancé so he could get said piece as a wedding gift. This came back to bite him back when she arrived three years later to get married to him. In order to avoid it, Kevin pulled out a BatmanGambit that led Ben to become Looma's fiancé instead of him. |
| 623 | ---- |
| 624 | * AbhorrentAdmirer: Because of her [[AxCrazy violent attitude]], it's no wonder why Ben doesn't reciprocate her feelings at all. |
| 625 | * AffablyEvil: Not so much toward Kevin, but she acts genuinely nice and sweet when interacting with Ben after they got betrothed. [[spoiler:When she lost her engagement to him at the end of "Rules of Engagement", she genuinely seemed sorry about him and affectionately told him goodbye.]] |
| 626 | * AllAmazonsWantHercules: She's an incredibly strong WarriorPrincess pledged to any man who can defeat her in battle. Ben learned this the hard way. |
| 627 | * AntiVillain: She's genuinely committed to her fiancés and an honorable warrior who respects a WorthyOpponent, but her RoyalBrat personality and her planet's dangerous customs still make her an antagonist. |
| 628 | * AxCrazy: She'll threaten war against an entire planet if she doesn't get her way. |
| 629 | * BestHerToBedHer: Following her species' culture, this is how Kevin and later Ben end up fiancé to her. Note that this is no easy feat even for Tetramands because the females of the species are both bigger and stronger than males. |
| 630 | * BloodKnight: One reason why she's interested in Four Arms because he's the only Tetramand who defeated her. She also shows a slight smile when she sees Julie in her PoweredArmor, meaning she's eager to fight her. |
| 631 | * BlueAndOrangeMorality: Due to her species' culture being oriented entirely around fighting, a lot of things that seem awful by human standards are normal wedding planning for her. |
| 632 | ** It's Tetramandian tradition for the bride to collect four "items" and present them to the groom's parents. The four items? Something ''conquered'', something ''bruised'', something ''severed'', and something [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking blue]]. Her picks are Esther (proving she ''conquered'' the Kraaho), Julie (who was ''bruised'' during the fighting), one of Fistina's hands (something severed), and Rook (something blue). |
| 633 | * BrutishCharacterBrutishWeapon: Befitting a strength-obsessed BloodKnight like her, her preferred weapon is a massive warhammer, only her being a technologically advanced alien mean [[BoomStick It can also shoot lasers]]. |
| 634 | * CharacterizationMarchesOn: In "Many Happy Returns" and "Rules of Engagement", she didn't seem to care if Ben was human and was talking lovingly to him after they ended up engaged, regardless of his form. Come her third appearance, she is now interested in his Four Arms form only for no clearly explained reason. |
| 635 | * CoolHelmet: Fittingly for a Tetramand princess, she wears a war helmet instead of a crown. |
| 636 | * DaddysGirl: She and her father talk in the familiar sickly sweet way one would see a princess talk to her father. He's even willing to destroy Earth to get her back her fiance. |
| 637 | * DarkActionGirl: A strong foe who could defeat many characters by her own. |
| 638 | * EnemyMine: She teams up with Ben and all the other girls against Charles Zenith in "The Most Dangerous Game Show". |
| 639 | * {{Expy}}: She is essentially [[ComicBook/{{Superman}} Maxima]] [[RecycledInSpace as a Tetramand]]. |
| 640 | * FemaleMisogynist: Looma doesn't like fighting other girls. She actually seems to look down on them. |
| 641 | * GracefulLoser: [[spoiler:After being defeated by Ben, Fistina, Ester, and Julie, she acknowledged Julie as Ben's beloved, but threatens to crush her skull the next time she sees her (although she ''did'' say it with a wink and a smile).]] |
| 642 | * {{Hypocrite}}: See FemaleMisogynist above. |
| 643 | * InsaneEqualsViolent: She's an AxCrazy WarriorPrincess who will take almost any excuse to fight. |
| 644 | * TheJuggernaut: Fights with her usually end with her opponents retreating. It usually takes more than just Ben to defeat her. |
| 645 | * LargeRunt: Looma appears to be much smaller than the rest of her species. Despite this, though, she can easily lift a father who ''dwarfs'' her, and ''still'' cannot find a Tetramand who can defeat her in combat. |
| 646 | * MoreDeadlyThanTheMale: Her hopeless romanticism, coupled with her DaddysGirl credentials, can make Looma come across as a bit unstable and ruthless to your average person, even by [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Tetramand]] standards. As noted above, female Tetramands are also the males' better in terms of physical prowess and thus considered to be more formidable warriors. |
| 647 | * MultiArmedAndDangerous: As a Tetramand, she possesses four arms, and she's a OneWomanArmy who can easily defeat many opponents at once. |
| 648 | * ObliviouslyEvil: In "Rules of Engagement", she gets into fights, causes property damage, and kidnaps people but from ''her'' perspective, it's standard Tetramand wedding preparations. |
| 649 | * PetTheDog: Helps to save Ben in "The Most Dangerous Game Show". |
| 650 | * PintsizedPowerhouse: Not to ''humans'' (she is taller than any regular human being), but to her own species; she is the smallest Tetramand we have seen so far, and yet she is able to take down enemies like Armodrillo, crush her own, much taller father with a hug and is the strongest warrior in her family. |
| 651 | %%* ProudWarriorRaceGirl: As a Tetramand, this is a given |
| 652 | * PsychoExGirlfriend: More like Psycho-Ex Fiancee toward Kevin. |
| 653 | * PlotHole: In her debut, Looma said she wouldn't return until 3 Earth years. Come her next appearance, Looma quickly returns to Earth, despite Ben still being 16. |
| 654 | * RoyalBrat: Despite being a powerful warrior she acts like a child. |
| 655 | * SitcomArchNemesis: Has this dynamic with Attea, even after they agree to stop fighting over Ben they just find something else to fight over. |
| 656 | * StoryBreakerPower: Looma is definitely one of Ben's more formidable opponents, due to her species's nature along with her {{Yandere}} tendencies. It became apparent in her first two appearances that it took the forces of many, many characters to successfully neutralize her. Naturally, this is balanced out in "Catfight", where she fails numerous time to handle the conflict involving a mind-controlled Ben, constantly arguing with Attea and being overwhelmed by Rath. |
| 657 | * StatuesqueStunner[=/=]BrawnHilda: ZigZagged between the two; she is ridiculously strong even by Tetramand standards, and since she is fiancée both times to a character much smaller and technically weaker than her physically, she ends up dominating them. Plus, Kevin tries to escape her like the latter. Still, she is quite the looker for someone of her species. |
| 658 | * StatusQuoIsGod: Technically, her engagement to Ben was cancelled at the end of ''Rules of Engagement'' after she lost to Julie, and she seemed [[GracefulLoser willing to accept it]]. The very next time we see her, she has inexplicably forgotten about this and attempts to hunt down Ben once more. |
| 659 | * VictoryIsBoring: The reason why she can't find a husband--no other Tetramand can beat her in combat. |
| 660 | * WarriorPrincess: Nothing unusual in her species since female Tetramands are stronger than males. |
| 661 | * {{Yandere}}: This is one woman you ''don't'' want to see scorned. She will (literally) hunt her lovers down to the ends of the Earth and threaten to destroy the entire planet if they try to escape her. |

| 670 | ---- |
| 671 | * TheBeastmaster: Cats only. |
| 672 | * CatGirl: Well, she dresses as one, at least. |
| 673 | * EnemyMine: With the other female characters in "The Most Dangerous Game Show". |
| 674 | * FlunkyBoss: How dangerous is she depends on what kind of cats are under her control, she's pretty much harmless if no cats are around. |
| 675 | * HarmlessVillain: To the point Ben flat-out dismisses her in "Catfight", feeling she isn't worth his time. It backfires when he turns into Rath, though. |
| 676 | * LaughablyEvil: It's very hard to take seriously given her tendency for silly behavior like speaking or acting like a cat, while baby talking to her cat minions including Rath, when he ended up under her MindControl. |
| 677 | * MindControl: Only works on cats though, and Rook can resist it, as he's a humanoid with some minor cat features. It does work on Rath though. |
| 678 | * PetTheDog: She helps to save Ben in "The Most Dangerous Game Show". |
| 679 | * SemanticSuperpower: Zig-zagged; on one hand, her power does work on every type of feline, including tigers, but ''not'' on aliens with feline features like Rook. On the other hand, it does work on Rath, a humanoid tiger-like alien. |
| 680 | * ThisLooksLikeAJobForAquaman: A rare villainous example; so far, the only time she was ever able to be a real threat was because Ben was unlucky enough to turn into Rath in her presence. |
| 681 | * TriangleShades: Wears these. |
| 682 | * WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway: Controlling feline species isn't exactly a big deal in a universe where the hero fights Galactic Conquerors on a regular basis. |

| 691 | |
| 692 | Lord Transyl is the former Lord of Anur Transyl, and a member of the extinct Vladat species. He was resurrected by Zs'Skayr. He has the ability to create creatures called Corrupturas, which enable him to control anyone they attach themselves too. He is also the genetic source for Ben's Whampire transformation. |
| 693 | ---- |
| 694 | * AndIMustScream: |
| 695 | ** Anyone he controls is fully aware of what is going on, but unable to override his control. Even speaking seems to take a good deal of effort. |
| 696 | ** [[spoiler:He himself suffers this fate, as Viktor puts him in a coffin floating in space and pushes said coffin in front of the sun.]] |
| 697 | * BackFromTheDead: Vladats normally turn to ash when they die, making it impossible for DNA to be collected, and thus making that kind of revival impossible. Zs'Skayr got around this by using Lord Transyl's hand, which was apparently severed before death, and the power he stole from the Alpha Rune. |
| 698 | * ClassicalMovieVampire: Envokes it by his looks. |
| 699 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: The very first thing he does upon being resurrected is express his [[HorrorHunger need to feed]], then rush on Dr. Viktor and Kuphulu to devour their life force. |
| 700 | * TheDragon: Becomes this to Zs'Skayr in the Galactic Monsters arc. |
| 701 | * EvilOverlord: He once was this to Anur Transyl. His rule was apparently so horrific that even Dr. Viktor questions his master resurrecting him [[spoiler:and ultimately betrays him to stop Transyl]]. |
| 702 | * InformedAbility: He is mentioned to be capable of VampiricDraining, but we never get to actually see him doing it. Whenever he is about to feed on someone, he is either stopped or forced to let his prey go. Possibly because the writers assume showing such a scene wouldn't be a wise move in a kid show. |
| 703 | * LifeDrain[=/=]VampiricDraining: How his race feeds. It wouldn't work on Ectonurites, due to their lack of conventional life force, however. |
| 704 | * FantasticRacism: He views all other species as inferior to the Vladats. It doesn't keep him from allying with Zs'Skayr, though Zs'Skayr showed him who's boss. |
| 705 | * HypnoticEyes: Can use them as an alternative to his Corrupturas. Whampire's immune due to Ben's HeroicWillpower. |
| 706 | * LastOfHisKind: And only because he came BackFromTheDead. |
| 707 | * LogicalWeakness: If his Corrupturas can't stick to a person's head, he can't control them. |
| 708 | * MindControl: He can do this with his Corrupturas. [[NoSell Whampire and Hobble are immune to it]] due to Ben's HeroicWillpower and Hobble having mucous on his face that keeps them from sticking to his face. |
| 709 | * [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Our Vampires Are Aliens]]: He also feeds off energy instead of blood. |
| 710 | * SealedEvilInACan: [[spoiler:While Zs'Skayr was killed (again), he's sentenced to this fate by Dr. Viktor.]] |
| 711 | * VampireVords: He speaks with the classic vampire accent. |

| 726 | * NoodleIncident: When he met Luhley, he called her a Galvan sent by his old nemesis, Azmuth. This means he has some tension with Azmuth at some point. |

| 738 | |
| 739 | A Revonnahgander fond of the old ways of his planet, and a master of Ravonnah Kai, their marital arts (whom he taught to Rook Blonko before he left.) A cantankerous elder, he particularly hating technology, outsiders, or those that have betrayed the old way of life. |
| 740 | ---- |
| 741 | * {{Archenemy}}: He appears to have become this to Rook. |
| 742 | * BadassNormal: Before becoming a cyborg, he was able to fight Ben equally merely through his world's martial arts (Revonnaganders are pretty similar to humans in terms of base assets like strength or speed, making it even more notable.) |
| 743 | * BoomerangBigot: After being turned into a cyborg, he still sees technology as evil. He even labels himself as a "walking contradiction". |
| 744 | * BrokenPedestal: Rook did not want to harm his former teacher until learning he assaulted his father for letting Shar leave to become a Plumber. After that, the gloves are off. |
| 745 | * CharlesAtlasSuperpower: The whole point of Ravonnah Kai. As far as we know, Revonnahganders aren't particularly stronger or faster than humans, yet Kundo's techniques allow him to do things such as create shockwaves by hitting the ground, breaking machines (including the Proto-tool) to pieces with his bare hands or fight on equal ground with several of Ben's aliens. |
| 746 | * CripplingOverspecialization: He's a master of Ravonnah Kai. ''Just'' Ravonnah Kai. Rook's experience fighting all manner of aliens (While Kundo rarely fights anything but other Revonnahganders) does him in when they fight. |
| 747 | * CurbStompBattle: Dishes these out to Ben's aliens when the latter tries to fight him. [[CurbStompCushion The only transformation used that makes Kundo fight seriously is Kickin Hawk, and even that transformation is still quickly outmatched]]. |
| 748 | * EnhancedPunch[=/=]PowerPalms: The "Stone Cutter" technique works like this, where the user focuses their energy into creating a powerful punch or palm thrust. |
| 749 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: He makes his bigotry toward technology and outsiders readily apparent, and then, when Rook Da refuses to get out of his way, unsympathetically and coldly defeats him. |
| 750 | * EvilLuddite: A hypocritical one no less. He has a large disdain of technology and favors the old ways. The hypocrisy comes from the fact that the hate is arbitrary and this has been pointed out several times. |
| 751 | * EvilMakesYouUgly: After being severely burned and losing his arm, he's gotten scars and a clawed cyborg arm, with his eyes having turned red. |
| 752 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: After he becomes a cyborg, he tried to [[InvokedTrope Invoke]] this trope by using the Plumbers' own technology to destroy all of the Plumber bases in the galaxy. |
| 753 | * {{Hypocrite}}: His hatred of technology is, as Rook puts it, arbitrary, as technology is just as prominent on Revonnah than any other world. There's also his extreme dislike of outsiders, which is common among Revonnahganders, yet he makes a deal with one involving their amber ogia to leave the planet. Shar calls him out on that last one and going against the old way of life he says others are forsaking, yet he blames Rook for forcing him to make that call. |
| 754 | ** HypocrisyNod: While this one is not entirely his fault, he acknowledges in his next appearance that his new form made him into what he calls a [[YouAreWhatYouHate "walking contradiction"]]. |
| 755 | * KnightOfCerebus: In both of his appearances, he is depicted as a competent, dangerous opponent. The only bit of comedy seen is in his first appearance in his intense shock and being overwhelmed by the various technological aspects of Earth. Even then, it's not much. |
| 756 | * KnightTemplar: Sees technology as as nothing but evil, and after becoming an insane cyborg, becomes determined to purge it from the universe. He even outright proclaims he will be a hero that future generations will tell stories of. |
| 757 | * NeverMyFault: |
| 758 | ** When Shar calls out Kundo's hypocrisy in making a deal with an outsider despite his hatred of them, he blames Rook for making him resort to it. |
| 759 | ** Kundo also blames Rook for dousing him in depleted blastonium, when he actually attacked Rook first with the "Stone Cutter", only to get send flying by the recoil at a tank full of blastonium when it was blocked by the Proto-Tool's shield. Rook even tried to save his teacher only for the substance to spill onto him. |
| 760 | * NobleDemon: Downplayed example. Despite his cold behavior, he speaks in a polite and dignified manner. Furthermore, during his fight with Ben, he never actually attacks Ben when he's distracted or preoccupied, always giving Ben time to transform before continuing to fight and would only strike the killing blow if he gets knocked out. |
| 761 | ** Subverted by his second appearance. |
| 762 | * NonStandardCharacterDesign: His ears are far pointier than Rook's, along with having "sharper" facial markings, unlike most other Revonnahganders. Besides making him look older, it makes him look meaner. |
| 763 | * ObviouslyEvil: He has a far "sharper" design than any other Revonnahgander introduced in the series and has a very cold, uncaring attitude toward most anything around him. |
| 764 | * ReplacementFlatCharacter: In a sense. Rook Da [[TookALevelInKindness came to accept his son and daughter's choices in lifestyle along with respecting Ben]]. Kundo pretty much now takes the role of the bigot with a hatred of outsiders, except far more villainous. |
| 765 | * SanitySlippage: Before he was simply a xenophobic bigot who wanted to protect Revonnahgander culture. After his operation, he's all that, plus a complete maniac bent on the destruction of the Plumbers. By the time he’s defeated a second time and taken to a mental institute, [[VillainousBreakdown he’s practically ranting his beliefs like a madman]]. |
| 766 | * SelfServingMemory: He thinks Rook intentionally doused him in the blastonium that nearly killed him, even though he actually attacked Rook first and was send flying by the recoil into a tank holding the substance when it was blocked. When Rook points out that’s not what happened, Kundo insists that it is. |
| 767 | * SignatureMove: The "Stone Cutter." WordOfGod also states that the technique is too advanced for Rook to use. |
| 768 | * SupernaturalMartialArts: A master of Ravonnah Kai, where he prefers using the "Stone Cutter" technique that's capable of creating powerful shockwaves by punching the ground and could smash through Rook's Proto-Tech armor with ease. |
| 769 | * {{Technopath}}: After becoming a cyborg, he can connect himself to machines and control them. |
| 770 | * UngratefulBastard: Still hates technology despite the fact that he'd be dead if he hadn't been turned into a cyborg. |
| 771 | * YouAreWhatYouHate: Is turned into a cyborg due to serious burns on his body. Unlike Will Harangue being turned into an alien hybrid, this is not PlayedForLaughs at all. |

Instead of grabbing the item and making a break for it, she decides to stick around and try to kill him against a wall. Of course, she ends up wasting her time enough to allow Spanner to swoop in and scare her off. Although, this is later averted when she shows up later. |

| 803 | * AllAbusersAreMale: Him hosting "The Most Delicious Game" involves numerous females, but they're only a means of boosting his own career as a TV persenter. |
| 804 | * DiabolusExNihilo: One of the more out-there alien antagonists to say the least. Which makes him an even more fitting ShoutOut to... |
| 805 | * EmotionEater: The main thing with his species, the Pugnavore. They feed off of drama, so Zenith creates constant conflict with his show to feed on. The fact there is an entire ''race'' of this has disturbing implications. |
| 806 | * GreatGazoo: A goofy green alien with antennae and capable of doing plenty of strange things with just a snap of the fingers? It's surprising that it took several years for the Ben 10 franchise to make an homage to the character in the first place. It's unknown if all Pugnavores are like this though Attea's recognition of his kind and comments implied they are to a certain extent. |
| 807 | * InkSuitActor: He looks almost like Charles Phoenix, glasses and all, but with green skin and hair, and antennae on his head. |
| 808 | * {{Jerkass}}: He kidnaps dozens of women, practically forces them to compete for Ben's hand in marriage, among them characters who are already in relationships, married or, most disturbing of all related to Ben (though Ben does get to eliminate the last one) [[spoiler:Then keeps the losers to feed on off-season.]] |
| 809 | * RealityWarper: To some extent. While flight, teleportation and some form of energy manipulation is what we've seen him do, it's not known if it's the full extent of his capabilities or if all Pugnavores can do it. |
| 810 | * RubberForeheadAlien: Besides the green skin and antennae, Pugnavores look very much like humans, or at least Zenith does. |
| 811 | * WeaksauceWeakness: Boredom. He needs to feed off conflict and drama after all. |

| 818 | |
| 819 | A short, out-of-shape Tetramand criminal who made his [[CanonImmigrant first appearance]] in the ''Alien Force'' video game. He's a [[TheCameo cameo character]] in "Special Delivery" [[spoiler:and later as TheMole in "Mud is Thicker Than Water"]]. |
| 820 | ---- |
| 821 | * {{Acrofatic}}: Due to the nature of Tetramands, he's still quite fast despite his bulk. |
| 822 | * AdaptationalWimp: In the ''Alien Force'' game, he's able to hold his own against Ben, even using a machine to regularly heal himself. In ''Omniverse'', he runs off once the Plumbers found Psyphon's hideout & is easily defeated by Gwen. |
| 823 | * CanonImmigrant: He initially was an original character in the video-game adaptation of ''Alien Force'' before actually having a role in the animation series. |
| 824 | * DemotedToExtra: He barely appears much after his role in "Mud Is Thicker Than Water". [[spoiler: His last appearance in ''Omniverse'' has him pass out via Skurd in "Stuck on You", [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse but that's about it]].]] |
| 825 | * FatBastard: Unlike the rest of his species, Gorvan seems to be the only Tetramand that's overweight, and isn't a particularly nice person either. |
| 826 | * FormerlyFit: Implied with some of his quotes during his fight in the ''Alien Force'' game, and he'll sometimes have to catch his breath after doing certain attacks. |
| 827 | * LightningBruiser: Just like other Tetramands. His attacks do tons of damage, are quick, and he can even heal using a machine. This mainly applies to his appearance in the ''Alien Force'' game, however, and since he's a bit out of shape, he'll tire after doing certain attacks. |
| 828 | * TheMole: [[spoiler:He's the spy in "Mud is Thicker Than Water".]] |
| 829 | * NonStandardCharacterDesign: Downplayed, but he's so far the only Tetramand in the series that's overweight, and is also far more shorter. |
| 830 | * StoutStrength: His large frame and belly doesn't seem to affect how strong he is. |
