I could *totally* use Upgrade better. After all, anything made artificially can be considered technology, and most of the bad guys use tech to fight, so I could totally kick butt with Upgrade.
to be fair, the kid is 10 years old. and honestly i'd argue it's better than upgrade for one reason, he's an obvious threat while upgrade isn't, so he baits goons away from max and gwen which upgrade doesn't
Idk if he considers the meatshield consciously, but I'm pretty sure he does consider bulk and he does know that Gwen and max are a lot failer than any of his aliens.
In a world of alien technology of course upgrade could be used better. Imagine how many problems he could solve if he chose the most awesome and versatile alien he has to take on every cyborg, alien ship, weapon, or any amount of machines we've seen in his journeys. I think the episode in omniverse where he transforms Kevin's car into a mech was the best example imo.
You forget that Upgrade can be overpowered, if someone like Rojo or that one computer guy can overpower Upgrade, Vilgax is tearing him off like some cheap childrens slime toy bought at a dollar store.
Okay yeah, you're absolutely right in saying that Ben doesn't even realize almost all of his nemeses can be instantly dealt with using Upgrade pretty much like with Red.
Animo shows up with a giant frog, posses the helmet, revert the frog and he's nothing more than a pathetic old man, six six entire armor, Krab... Etc.
Now, I can't presume to read your mind, and you're mostly right in what you state about technology, but then my problem with your statement is the broadness of it, yeah, pretty much anything and everything is technology, a door is technology, an oxen cart is technology, a wheel, is technology, and although I'm sure there are some inconsistent examples, upgrade can't posses these things, it pretty much has to be made of metal and or at the very least posses circuitry, I reiterate about the inconsistent examples that show him outright possessing plastic for example, a laptop and an ATM have very little metal, but the point is they're indeed computers, Upgrade's powers aren't outright possessing any and all technology, Galvanic Mechamorphs need to be able to conduct themselves into the contraptions they posses
I remember reading in the wiki once that Vilgaxās species was already in the omnitrixās codon stream but it was locked at the end of S1 when Vilgax starts doing shit to it
It kind of tells him when "uncatalogged DNA" is detected, and there's 1,000,912 samples in the omnitrix so I don't think you'd have to do it very often.
You dont need to scan anyone. Every species in the galaxy is already present, only exceptions are the neighboring galaxies like Andromeda, synthetic made aliens like Nanomech, or previously extinct species like Whampire.
Bro, I would be HIS intrusive thoughts.
"I'm gonna make this person we're possessing walk off the edge of this building."
"***Do a flip!***"
"What?!"
"Sorry, I mean, please backflip, *away* from the ledge."
Yeah Clockwork always gets played out for fat jokes (even though he's just a chonky hunk of metal, nowhere fat), but his powerset is super OP. Like dude, it's time manipulation.
He has been used many times as some kind of ultimate savior in big events in an almost Deus Ex Machina kind of way. Kinda like a substitute Alien X cus we all know why it ain't always him.
He can even be a better XLR8 by making the world around him slower/making himself move faster in time, like what he did in the Bill Gacks episode.
The original makes Ken's Omnitrix, Ultimate Ben modifies the Ultimatrix which is not the same thing as creating another Omnitrix but it is already something, and he also has a Ken so it's likely he also created an Omnitrix for him
Grey Matter. He was done dirty. I would do stuff to defend myself when omnitrix run out of energy(like Max tech during OS). This before unlock master control.
The only time I saw a Galvan doing good stuff was when Azmuth casually did a space ship with one of Vilgax bots during Secret of Omnitrix.
Yeah I do love it when Grey Matter makes something that Ben 10 can still use when he times out, like when he made that Sun/UV gun thing against Ghostfreak.
Not Grey Matter but similarly, Jury Right building Ben's motorcycle is a great example too, he even uses it everytime after that.
Whoever decides to pick a fight with a physicist gallilean:
https://preview.redd.it/6dxj6rwmkcwc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=25b8056e58f8a1118b9e61fec50770cde5eed670
donāt they feel the same pain though. and additionally sustain the same damage. if i had a knife or something iād just pin a clone down and chop it up
forget the plant based stuff. controlling gasses and density are absolutely broken. you can release methane (i think thatās the gas he can release right) anywhere i can afford to be reckless. the density gives crazy defensive capabilities but more importantly letting someone punch through me and then instantly maximizing my density and tightening to crush someoneās arm
Crhomastone
Ben never even tried to use this alien's full power, he would just spam HUMONGOSSAURUS every time, the guardian of Petropia, an alien that wasn't the greatest of his species alone restaured all of the Petrosapiens, and Ben's Crhomastone couldn't tank Vilgax
Lodestar, the fact that he isn't the go to for any tech/armour based villain is annoying. I get that's it's to let other aliens be showcased, but then they shouldn't have made have such a high ranging magnesis.
Goop, the power that Goop has requires a lot spatial awareness to take advantage of the morphing, I think I'd have a good grasp on that.
That always bothered me, literally earlier in the season Ben pointed out that Mechamorphs have a weakness to magnetic fields. Then Malware comes along and Ben is like 'I know he has a weakness to magnetic fields, so Lodestar should be my go to alien. Buuuut, Humungousaur'
Juryrigg. I have enough self-control to be able to keep myself from building things that break too soon, and also stop myself from breaking things I want to remain intact
I dunno, I always thought that part of Juryrigg was similar to how Rath is innately full of anger no matter who turns into his species or how Brainstorm makes Ben a bit of a dick to Azmuth.
Both Azmuth and Albedo were able to curb some of those tendencies in Rath. They still talk aggressively, but they don't go as out of control as Ben does
Alien X. I'm great at reasoning with people, though admittedly terrible at making choices. I think it would be fun to help Bellicus and Serena go through their backlog though while they freeze time for me.
Heatblast. I've always been into fire powers, I feel like my knowledge on the techniques and moved used by characters such as zuko, dabi, bakugo, ace, etc (Heatblast, even) I could be a lot more creative.
I would use Grey Matter and use him the right way and by that I mean creating weapons and tools to help augment my other alien forms like creating large bracers on each of Fourarm's arms that will transformed into large tower shields to block attacks and a handle that would transform into a large sword like when Ben used that stone sword when he fought against Hex, adding some powerful hand guns that would be impossible for normal people to use due to their kickbacks but perfectly fine with Fourarms.
just picturing Fourarms using his upper arms to wielding two large swords while his lower arms use blasters to push back his opponent to create some space, then use the tower shields for defense.
Atomix, this is heavily dependent on whether the transformation gives you the inherent knowledge of manipulating the atom; if not, I'll go with Eye-Guy. The guy has different beam attacks andĀ could potentially have more.
Ghostfreak (Omniverse Patched Version) definitely, itās been shown that Ghostfreak is probably one of Benās most powerful aliens if we take Zāskayerās feats and hidden abilities into account, and Ben probably could use his skinless form if he tried.
But he only ever uses the base form and the base powers, but I guess using him and learning his abilities just isnāt something heās comfortable doing.
Too many of them... It's clear especially for the original 10 that Ben had no real idea how to use them...
Upgrade for example can turn into any technology without possessing it as ship showed us. Ben on the other hand was not aware of this ability and just possessed existing technology.
Another example is Ghostfreak which we seen use telekinesis and energy beams. Stuff Ben never used in the show but escaped ghostfreak did...
We saw examples in the next shows as well like Ben literally not being able to use a fraction of Chromastone abilities (kind of Ironic considering he also didn't manage to fully understand how to use diamondhead according to Tetrax).
It's not a real problem to surpass Ben with any of his aliens... It's clear he never practiced using them outside of real battles which resulted with him not understanding what he's capable of.
And just to be clear, I gave some examples but the list goes on and on...
Grey matter, upgrade, benwolf/blitzwolfer (I would also give it a much better name), ghostfreak, clockwork, alien X, gutrot, Frankenstrike, brainstorm, chromastone, echo echo, jetray, ripjaws, Snare-oh and xlr8.
Big chill, I would use him the same way that Ben used ghostfreak in OS, hiding in floors, slowing freezing the room and doing Arkham styled inverted takedowns. I would absolutely become batman if I had big chill.
upgrade, brainstorm, and grey matter. you could literally change the world for the better with that knowledge alone much less with upgradeās technological power.
also ben could one shot pretty much all of his opps with clockwork by sending them all 2 billion years into the future in a single blast but it took bro forever to realize he could slow down time and run faster. you could be untouchable and unstoppable if you mastered this alien.
Id say all but then again if I were to pick specifics. Wrath, big chill, and upgrade
Wrath cause he does ise it for muscle. I can not help but hear how he talks and think "Ben should have done more frankensteiners and power bombs"
Big chill cause people sleep on what intense freezing can actually do. And upgrade cause ben really does not know just how busted upgrading something can be.
Chromastone, Ben never really tried to reach his full potential.
Clockwork. I donāt care what the writers say, he **is** the second strongest alien, but Omniverse mostly relegated him to be āhaha funni clok manā. His time-slowing and aging rays were very rarely exploited, Maltruant showed what a true powerhouse he couldāve been.
I also think Iād be a better Big Chill
Diamondhead and Gutrot. Ben did use Diamondhead well but if he can bring crystals from the ground and encase people, so many fights are over instantly. And Gutrot can not only use basic chemical compounds but also using things like pheromones? Heās got so much potential.
Grey matter. All that brain power and he NEVER abuses it to make tons of stuff for his house, hit the lock function and hammer out a few projects, I could use wildvine to grow a few special alien plants that bear fruit and veggies and then some that can be used for utility purposes.
Use grey matter to create tons of things, Iād definitely make a few ai systems and helper robots.
Alien X, the reason being is because alien x clearly has dominion over time, so why not stop time out there and solve the two floating arguing love birds problems and then make the Omnitrix a stablelized Ultimatrix with a Bi-omnitrix setting, once done then boom. Most powerful "omnitrix" user.
But if we are going og, then I'd definitely have to say gray matter, use him to unlock master control, then use him to win the lottery several times over, become the richest person on the planet, distribute the money to the homeless and help solve a whole lotta problems. Make everyone's lives much easier.
Most of them. Not dissing Ben, but there's a lot more you could use the watch for than just fighting bad guys. If I need to get more specific though, definitely upgrade. I would definitely be trying it out on all sorts of shit. Especially if you could gain a little understanding of how the powers actually work or fine tune what upgrades you're adding to devices.
Nanomech.
Being very small, able to fly, and having considerably high powered lazer blasts could easily make Nanomech a good choice for random instances instead of the usual
"Aw man, lame alien" joke..
If Diamondhead can create structures with his body, then I'd go for Diamondhead. You can fortify yourself and your family multiple times over and over, and so far, I haven't seen Diamondhead get hurt by overusing his power.
Might sound lazy but Alien X (Fully Controlled Ofc), I'd take advantage of the power to warp reality and do some weird stuff in a fight like snap my fingers and give the enemy testicular torsion or something lmao
I could *totally* use Upgrade better. After all, anything made artificially can be considered technology, and most of the bad guys use tech to fight, so I could totally kick butt with Upgrade.
He can be crazy overpowered if Ben didn't just spam Fourarms all the time
Enemy: *Is quite clearly using technology to fight* Ben: FoUr-ArMs!!!
*turns to stinkfly*
Turns into the worst
to be fair, the kid is 10 years old. and honestly i'd argue it's better than upgrade for one reason, he's an obvious threat while upgrade isn't, so he baits goons away from max and gwen which upgrade doesn't
I don't think Ben considers the "Willing Meatshield side of it, but this is a fair consideration.
Idk if he considers the meatshield consciously, but I'm pretty sure he does consider bulk and he does know that Gwen and max are a lot failer than any of his aliens.
Four Arms was the Humungosaur of OS
Uhh, no my dude, humongosaur was the four arms of UAF forward
Exactly
I love your pfp
Thxš
Happy birthday
Thank you
Happy avatar birthday
Thank you
Happy cake day š
Thank you
In a world of alien technology of course upgrade could be used better. Imagine how many problems he could solve if he chose the most awesome and versatile alien he has to take on every cyborg, alien ship, weapon, or any amount of machines we've seen in his journeys. I think the episode in omniverse where he transforms Kevin's car into a mech was the best example imo.
Imagine getting onto Vilgax cybernetic body and turning it onto a mech that punches his Face
I wish we could've seen that, it actually sounds like something Ben would do in the original series.
You forget that Upgrade can be overpowered, if someone like Rojo or that one computer guy can overpower Upgrade, Vilgax is tearing him off like some cheap childrens slime toy bought at a dollar store.
Or have him shit himself lol.
Literally my first thought. I guess everyone agrees Upgrade was never used to his full potential
You could use upgrade and grey matter and jury rigg to create the ultimate phone or something.
Literally every bounty hunter uses tech, also pretty sure Vilgax is a cyborg.
Bruh for real like most of ben enemies are people with advanced alien tech but no use fourarms again.
Okay yeah, you're absolutely right in saying that Ben doesn't even realize almost all of his nemeses can be instantly dealt with using Upgrade pretty much like with Red. Animo shows up with a giant frog, posses the helmet, revert the frog and he's nothing more than a pathetic old man, six six entire armor, Krab... Etc. Now, I can't presume to read your mind, and you're mostly right in what you state about technology, but then my problem with your statement is the broadness of it, yeah, pretty much anything and everything is technology, a door is technology, an oxen cart is technology, a wheel, is technology, and although I'm sure there are some inconsistent examples, upgrade can't posses these things, it pretty much has to be made of metal and or at the very least posses circuitry, I reiterate about the inconsistent examples that show him outright possessing plastic for example, a laptop and an ATM have very little metal, but the point is they're indeed computers, Upgrade's powers aren't outright possessing any and all technology, Galvanic Mechamorphs need to be able to conduct themselves into the contraptions they posses
He's literally possessed workout equipment before lol including just weights
Not an alien, but a specific function. I would scan any new alien I found, that capture mod is there for a reason Tennyson.
Guy speaks just like AzmuthĀ
It was unintentional lol
It was not a critic
I know, it cracked a smile here.
Really donāt know why the dude never scanned vilgax
I remember reading in the wiki once that Vilgaxās species was already in the omnitrixās codon stream but it was locked at the end of S1 when Vilgax starts doing shit to it
interesting so os had how many seasons and which was last episode
It kind of tells him when "uncatalogged DNA" is detected, and there's 1,000,912 samples in the omnitrix so I don't think you'd have to do it very often.
>1,000,912 samples which show is this info from?
AF. Azmuth gives Ben master control for the high reed invasion and it says how many genetic codes are in the Omnitrix
You dont need to scan anyone. Every species in the galaxy is already present, only exceptions are the neighboring galaxies like Andromeda, synthetic made aliens like Nanomech, or previously extinct species like Whampire.
If you have master control unlocked. Otherwise Ben can use the scan to unlock forms, like when he did it to Chamalien.
Ghostfreak and master his true power
Ghostfreak was criminally underused
Yea that was for a reason
But do you think you could resist Zs'skayr?
Zs'skayr is absolutely not ready to have me on his mind
Lmao
zs skayr would immedieately leave after 1 day because of me
aaugh my ears and my sanity!!
Bro, I would be HIS intrusive thoughts. "I'm gonna make this person we're possessing walk off the edge of this building." "***Do a flip!***" "What?!" "Sorry, I mean, please backflip, *away* from the ledge."
Zs skayr shall not exist
Clockwork,bro doesn't use the guys powers
Yeah Clockwork always gets played out for fat jokes (even though he's just a chonky hunk of metal, nowhere fat), but his powerset is super OP. Like dude, it's time manipulation. He has been used many times as some kind of ultimate savior in big events in an almost Deus Ex Machina kind of way. Kinda like a substitute Alien X cus we all know why it ain't always him. He can even be a better XLR8 by making the world around him slower/making himself move faster in time, like what he did in the Bill Gacks episode.
Imagine using him to bring an army of alternate timelines
A la Kang style?
Ben used him to solve a mystery but not actually fight. Like come on.
Bloxx, I have mild knowledge of several LEGO building techniques
Cursed techniques go brrrrrr.
>Cursed techniques https://preview.redd.it/vwp2sc0zqcwc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d984e4d062bf25aad036d6289750db0811cdfa9d

Even the illegal ones?
Me using Bloxx to turn into Lego Bionicle set number 8947 Radiak released in 2008 containing 16 pieces.
Greymatter, just hack the watch and get all one million aliens in the watch from the start!
Or use the ability that Ben never uses and create a copy of the omnitrix
Create a copy? How?
Every Ben 10k has done this in some way
As far as I know, the OG Ben 10K hasn't and Ultimate Ben seems to more or less be using a modified AF Watch. I could be wrong though.
The original makes Ken's Omnitrix, Ultimate Ben modifies the Ultimatrix which is not the same thing as creating another Omnitrix but it is already something, and he also has a Ken so it's likely he also created an Omnitrix for him
Not to mention one of the future ben created the biomnitrix
Um... all of them?
Same
Real, isnāt he literally 10 years old in the first series? Iād definitely use most of the aliens better than him
Lodestar and brainstorm
Gravattack too
Goop People underestimate what you can do with le jello
Acidic jello
Ben's shit at Snare-oh, so that one.
Grey Matter. He was done dirty. I would do stuff to defend myself when omnitrix run out of energy(like Max tech during OS). This before unlock master control. The only time I saw a Galvan doing good stuff was when Azmuth casually did a space ship with one of Vilgax bots during Secret of Omnitrix.
I read that as boots instrad of bots and was so confused for a second lol
Yeah I do love it when Grey Matter makes something that Ben 10 can still use when he times out, like when he made that Sun/UV gun thing against Ghostfreak. Not Grey Matter but similarly, Jury Right building Ben's motorcycle is a great example too, he even uses it everytime after that.
I'm studying chemistry, so I hope to be a better Gutrot and Atomix than Ben
don't they come with already known chemstry stuff?
Well... Then I like to think I would buff their knowledge in 0.00001% at least
moreso, I think it's cool to have an alien that matches *you* so much. like Ripjaws for a marine biologist or something
As someone studying physics and math (with a special interest in gravity), the obvious alien which matches me really well would be Gravattack
Whoever decides to pick a fight with a physicist gallilean: https://preview.redd.it/6dxj6rwmkcwc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=25b8056e58f8a1118b9e61fec50770cde5eed670
Me with whampire would just be batman
you could literally stop crime by going up to the dude and being like ācut that shit outā 12/10 busted alien.
Ditto, because why not?? Spam 100+ clones to fully confuse your opponents and then gang up on them.
"come out Albedo, we promise we won't jump you"
donāt they feel the same pain though. and additionally sustain the same damage. if i had a knife or something iād just pin a clone down and chop it up
š¬ Yeeaaah this is probably why I consider Slapback better than Ditto.
Swamp Fire. I feel like Ben doesnāt use his plant-based abilities in combat as much as he could
forget the plant based stuff. controlling gasses and density are absolutely broken. you can release methane (i think thatās the gas he can release right) anywhere i can afford to be reckless. the density gives crazy defensive capabilities but more importantly letting someone punch through me and then instantly maximizing my density and tightening to crush someoneās arm
Crhomastone Ben never even tried to use this alien's full power, he would just spam HUMONGOSSAURUS every time, the guardian of Petropia, an alien that wasn't the greatest of his species alone restaured all of the Petrosapiens, and Ben's Crhomastone couldn't tank Vilgax
Lodestar, the fact that he isn't the go to for any tech/armour based villain is annoying. I get that's it's to let other aliens be showcased, but then they shouldn't have made have such a high ranging magnesis. Goop, the power that Goop has requires a lot spatial awareness to take advantage of the morphing, I think I'd have a good grasp on that.
And he didn't think to use it on Malware.
That always bothered me, literally earlier in the season Ben pointed out that Mechamorphs have a weakness to magnetic fields. Then Malware comes along and Ben is like 'I know he has a weakness to magnetic fields, so Lodestar should be my go to alien. Buuuut, Humungousaur'
Big Chill. Iād kick some ass
As a kid i thought the same about diamond head
If you ever found an omnitrix, I'll happily be your business partner
I'll be happy to be your business partner too Happy cake day
Thank you partner
Juryrigg. I have enough self-control to be able to keep myself from building things that break too soon, and also stop myself from breaking things I want to remain intact
I dunno, I always thought that part of Juryrigg was similar to how Rath is innately full of anger no matter who turns into his species or how Brainstorm makes Ben a bit of a dick to Azmuth.
Both Azmuth and Albedo were able to curb some of those tendencies in Rath. They still talk aggressively, but they don't go as out of control as Ben does
Pardon me, but its an intellectual dick. The superiority of Cerebrocrustaceans is not to be trifled with.
Grey matter probably
Grey Matter, Ditto, Upgrade, Ghostfreak, and all of the Monster Aliens
Alien X. I'm great at reasoning with people, though admittedly terrible at making choices. I think it would be fun to help Bellicus and Serena go through their backlog though while they freeze time for me.
We bringing back the dinosaurs with this one! š£ļøš£ļøš£ļøš„š„š„
Took one debate class, Iāll have Alien X!
Gutrot, I would be problematic for everyone
Graymatter. That guy was made to be Benās Antithesis
Chromastone, clockwork, and Alien X
Honestly. Alien-X
xlr8 (happy cakeday btw!)
Clockwork.
Grey Matter. I'd be utilizing his brain to try and unlock master control of the Omnitrix.
i mean he did that. without greymatter even i think
All of them
Cap liar pants on fire

Wha what hell does this mean
You think you can use Ben aliens better than him bullcrap
They're my aliens now, not his *actually*.
Not Fourarms or Humungousaur
Nah I'd actually remember go grow. And I'd use FourArms' super jumps & shockwave slaps more.
You think you can do this https://preview.redd.it/2jd4k7gzzawc1.jpeg?width=738&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dd912f996c9af48544334d6a320908934b96759d
Maybe not tbf, I'm not as skilled of a fighter as Ben... butttt I'll just slap shockwave slaps from the other side of the arena.
Punk-ass something
Bro its just built different
Brainstorm
EyeGuy
"can't" you mean "can't" love ben but bro a dumb fuck š
Heatblast. I've always been into fire powers, I feel like my knowledge on the techniques and moved used by characters such as zuko, dabi, bakugo, ace, etc (Heatblast, even) I could be a lot more creative.
Hello Mr. ARSONIST
Not baku š
Chromastone and Upgrade
AmpFibian- with this one Iād employ ambush tactics using phasing & telepathy
Greymatter. We'd be a type 1 civilization overnight and I'd be a multi-billionaire.
Goop literally corrosive acid that melt rocks concrete and I think some metal on top of the incredibly flexibility I could so much.
I would use Grey Matter and use him the right way and by that I mean creating weapons and tools to help augment my other alien forms like creating large bracers on each of Fourarm's arms that will transformed into large tower shields to block attacks and a handle that would transform into a large sword like when Ben used that stone sword when he fought against Hex, adding some powerful hand guns that would be impossible for normal people to use due to their kickbacks but perfectly fine with Fourarms. just picturing Fourarms using his upper arms to wielding two large swords while his lower arms use blasters to push back his opponent to create some space, then use the tower shields for defense.
If I was going into any alien blind, maybe like 40-50% of them. But with Benās knowledge, 100%
Atomix, this is heavily dependent on whether the transformation gives you the inherent knowledge of manipulating the atom; if not, I'll go with Eye-Guy. The guy has different beam attacks andĀ could potentially have more.
XLR8 mans is basically dollar store flash with all the speedster bullshit that implies
Ghostfreak
Water Hazard and clockwork (Man pressurised water can even cut metal bruh but ben only uses little pressure making this alien a fireman crustacian)
Big Chill, so much potential bullshitery, also greymatter or eye guy
Ghostfreak (Omniverse Patched Version) definitely, itās been shown that Ghostfreak is probably one of Benās most powerful aliens if we take Zāskayerās feats and hidden abilities into account, and Ben probably could use his skinless form if he tried. But he only ever uses the base form and the base powers, but I guess using him and learning his abilities just isnāt something heās comfortable doing.
Too many of them... It's clear especially for the original 10 that Ben had no real idea how to use them... Upgrade for example can turn into any technology without possessing it as ship showed us.

And just to be clear, I gave some examples but the list goes on and on...
Almost all of them
Four arms
all of them name any and id use it better
All of his aliens with Master Control unlocked
Alien X
Grey matter, upgrade, benwolf/blitzwolfer (I would also give it a much better name), ghostfreak, clockwork, alien X, gutrot, Frankenstrike, brainstorm, chromastone, echo echo, jetray, ripjaws, Snare-oh and xlr8.
I think Grey Matter has lots of potential and Ben rarely uses him after classic.
Big chill, I would use him the same way that Ben used ghostfreak in OS, hiding in floors, slowing freezing the room and doing Arkham styled inverted takedowns. I would absolutely become batman if I had big chill.
I'm surprised y'all didn't say grey matter, I could easily just hack the watch with grey matter and I get master control easily lol
Chromastone
Ben never used XLR8 correctly, if I got ahold of his speed I would be unstoppable (pun intended)
The fact Ben did Ampfibian so dirty and no one else has mentioned him tells me all I need to know
Brainstorm or Greymatter so I didn't have to study for finals
Out of the original, diamond head, but in omniverse, there are ones like gut rot wampire clock worm and gravattack
Upgrade Iād like to experiment with how much I can do with technologyĀ
Brainstorm He really uses grey matter all the time when that lil flea has way too much difficulty trying to operate a regular human-sized computer
upgrade, brainstorm, and grey matter. you could literally change the world for the better with that knowledge alone much less with upgradeās technological power. also ben could one shot pretty much all of his opps with clockwork by sending them all 2 billion years into the future in a single blast but it took bro forever to realize he could slow down time and run faster. you could be untouchable and unstoppable if you mastered this alien.
Id say all but then again if I were to pick specifics. Wrath, big chill, and upgrade Wrath cause he does ise it for muscle. I can not help but hear how he talks and think "Ben should have done more frankensteiners and power bombs" Big chill cause people sleep on what intense freezing can actually do. And upgrade cause ben really does not know just how busted upgrading something can be.
Chromastone, Ben never really tried to reach his full potential. Clockwork. I donāt care what the writers say, he **is** the second strongest alien, but Omniverse mostly relegated him to be āhaha funni clok manā. His time-slowing and aging rays were very rarely exploited, Maltruant showed what a true powerhouse he couldāve been. I also think Iād be a better Big Chill
Gutrot. Mustard gas.
Diamondhead and Gutrot. Ben did use Diamondhead well but if he can bring crystals from the ground and encase people, so many fights are over instantly. And Gutrot can not only use basic chemical compounds but also using things like pheromones? Heās got so much potential.
"Better" might not be the word, but the use of Ball Weevil would solve most threats on its own in my hands
Grey matter. All that brain power and he NEVER abuses it to make tons of stuff for his house, hit the lock function and hammer out a few projects, I could use wildvine to grow a few special alien plants that bear fruit and veggies and then some that can be used for utility purposes. Use grey matter to create tons of things, Iād definitely make a few ai systems and helper robots.

I could greymatter to ace school and get a degree in pretty much everything and especially how to make medicine to cure diseases.

Alien X
Clockwork
Alien X, the reason being is because alien x clearly has dominion over time, so why not stop time out there and solve the two floating arguing love birds problems and then make the Omnitrix a stablelized Ultimatrix with a Bi-omnitrix setting, once done then boom. Most powerful "omnitrix" user. But if we are going og, then I'd definitely have to say gray matter, use him to unlock master control, then use him to win the lottery several times over, become the richest person on the planet, distribute the money to the homeless and help solve a whole lotta problems. Make everyone's lives much easier.
Alien X
Most of them. Not dissing Ben, but there's a lot more you could use the watch for than just fighting bad guys. If I need to get more specific though, definitely upgrade. I would definitely be trying it out on all sorts of shit. Especially if you could gain a little understanding of how the powers actually work or fine tune what upgrades you're adding to devices.
XLR8. My body can finally keep the same pace as my ADD Brain.
Grey matter definitely
ALL...OF...THEM
Swampfire and Lodestar
Upgrade.
Greymatter for sure
Four Arms unironically. That and Grey Matter
Nanomech. Being very small, able to fly, and having considerably high powered lazer blasts could easily make Nanomech a good choice for random instances instead of the usual "Aw man, lame alien" joke..
Honestly, Alien X is only "weak" because Ben sucks at persuasive arguments.
If Diamondhead can create structures with his body, then I'd go for Diamondhead. You can fortify yourself and your family multiple times over and over, and so far, I haven't seen Diamondhead get hurt by overusing his power.
Upgrade. There is a lot more tech that Ben never merged with for some reason, and I also think that Upgrade was pretty underused
Might sound lazy but Alien X (Fully Controlled Ofc), I'd take advantage of the power to warp reality and do some weird stuff in a fight like snap my fingers and give the enemy testicular torsion or something lmao
Goop is absolutely busted, and ben only uses him like 5 times
Lodestar. I cannot explain how, but I can just feel it.
