ALIEN X: History, Scaling, Lore, Feats & Weaknesses ft. Skye (400k Special)

[@TheInkTank]

RESPONSES: 1. “Don’t Celestialsapians only have two personalities, not three?” Not exactly clear. Ben joins Bellicus and Serena with an already-designated title, The Voice of Reason, implying that this is the norm for them, and they’ve been waiting for Ben to complete their set. However, in the Galactic Gladiator match, Ben & Starbeard make a remark about Gladiator only having two. Whether they naturally have two or three, it does not affect any of the following information and feats. 2. “In the intro, don’t you mean 2017, not 2007?” I’ve been making videos/ been involved in the Ben 10 community since 2007. I showed the thumbnail of a video from 2017 because that was the biggest turning point. 3. Although, I DID accidentally say “2006 Reboot” instead of 2016, and there is a typo in the title for “X=Ben+2”.

paradox interacting with Alien X could possibly not be a question of where, but a question of when

[@teslercoil5174]

and it could be theorised that Alien X started existing when ben first transformed into him, but from then on his existence could span for years before ben's initial transformation. kind of like how the speed force was created at the very moment Barry Allen gained his powers and from then on it exist through out all space and time, and that every step that Barry Allen takes adds to the speed force as a source of power for other speedsters.

[@strider_hiryu850]

maybe some C.Ss are born with a mutation. the mutation being that when they develop, when normally C.Ss would have 3 personalities, some only develop 2. this could be the case with Alien X. they're apparently made of DNA and generate heat, so genetic mutations should be possible.

[@yannismorris4772]

It’s mainly because whenever Ben Transforms, He runs the risk of Forever being stuck In the Mind Scape never being allowed to leave unless all 3 agree with this Idea. When I first understand Alien X. I always thought that Ben turning Into It for no reason just to talk to Bellicose and Serena would just piss them off for waising there time by him just bothering them for no reason because they always know what’s going on. I Alway saw Alien X as a Emergency last resort to go Onto when everything Is F***ED. Otherwise If he bothers them for no reason, they’ll just be annoyed and choice to never help him again for wasting there time. So when Ben would Need Alien X, They wouldn’t allow It

I still like to imagine that Ben’s overconfidence with Rook and Argit immediately after the universe destruction is his way of coping with the grief. He can’t comprehend what just happened, so instead of confronting that existentially horrific topic, he blusters it away. In Universe v. Tennyson, when they get him to confess, I think Ben’s breakdown isn’t just about getting the smoothie flavors wrong. It’s all those bottled-up emotions, not knowing how much else he might’ve changed by accident. Is his family still the same? Are his friends? Is anyone? He doesn’t know, and he clearly tries not to think about it, but the smoothie flavors being wrong is just a daily reminder of how badly he screwed up.

Personally, I feel the 'Galactic Gladiator' just happens to have a tri consciousness that likes to fight. The reason it seems so decisive is just they collective know how to, and enjoy, sparring. Like you say, it's not a fight to the death. It's just A Fight. The ending has multiple BEN consciousnesses throwing BEN Ideas at a triconsciousness, just confusing them enough that the Spar is called. Basically, 'Cool Fight, Bro'

[@WackoMcGoose]

Hmm... it does sound like Full Synchro in the Battle Network series... when NetOp and NetNavi are so in sync with each other that there is "zero delay between command and execution" because their desires are one and the same. The Gladiator doesn't have to do the whole "seconded" routine for every single decision, his personalities just _know_ they're in accord with every action... and when the Alien X Shadow Clone Jutsu happens, it's enough to throw off their groove just enough to make them vulnerable.

However it had one drawback that ultimately led to his death which Alien may have been able to avoid without Atomix: Atomic was still bound by time, which X was not.

I personally think it's debatable whether the chrono sapien time bomb erasing atomix x is even indicative of whether or not alien x would have been able to survive it passively, since he's you now, removed from time. Duncan's explanation also makes sense to me, Atomix's dna dilutes Alien x's, and since Atomix does very much exist in the timeline, that makes Atomix x vulnerable to the time bomb, where as Alien x would not be. I see Atomix x as an upgrade to Atomix more than anything, while he is definitely weaker than Alien x, the presence of it's dna gives Atomix x a considerable power boost over regular Atmoix.

[@joshrubio1336]

Haven't watched the video yet, but Atomix not surviving it isn't why I believe Alien x cannot be multiversal.

Omnitrix failsafe could not activate since Ben, and hell, the Omnitrix itself never existed. Plus we've seen it straight up not activate sometimes.

Celestial sapiens are not bounded to time, meaning the chronosapien time bomb would not affect them, neither would Malturant's ability to freeze time.

Its not that Atomic x wasn't ready for the chrono bomb explosion and could have avoided it if he knew what would happen, its that even if he knew what the explosion would do, he just could not avoid it at all. While X or a true Celestial sapien would not be affected by it at all because they are not bounded to time.

[@alanpena8643]

Maybe the Alien X “DNA” in the Omnitrix is less of a DNA sample but more of a key/doorway that would send Ben into Alien X rather than him becoming him like with other transformations. Maybe Paradox made a deal with the Celestialsapiens to get them to somehow make a DNA sample of Alien X to allow a future Ben to be able to join up with them. Less the Omnitrix is capable of taking a sample from a Celestialsapien and more like They made it so that the Omnitrix tied Ben and Alien X together. This could be why they hate Paradox so much. Maybe this is also why he could join Ben in Alien X, he can’t do it with his own power alone, it’s just that he is aware of a door into Alien X because he convinced Celestialsapiens to make it.

I've always had an idea that the Celestialsapiens are extremely self-centered and only care about themselves. It would explain why they don't do jack when Aggregor plans to rule the Universe, or Vilgax wiped out every single universe with the Chronosapien Time-Bomb, but seemed to take offense when Ben created a new universe to replace his old one. This belief that they are one of, if not the most supreme beings in existence means that if something doesn't involve them, then they don't give a rat's ass. This can be seen (sort of) in Omniverse when the Prime Universe is completely destroyed, and all Bellicus and Serena had to say about it was a slightly sympathetic remark from the latter.

My personal headcanon for the use of Atomic-X is that its an intentional, dramatic de-escalation of Alien-X's overwhelming power. Ben has always, near-pathologically, attempted to transform into aliens appropriately scaled to the current threat, only prevented from doing so by errors with omnitrix use. For Ben, use of Alien-X may run into an even worse version of the Superman "world of paper" problem. As Ben gains increasing perspective of Alien-X's capabilites, he would be forced to keep track of every action he takes as Alien-X, incase he say, in a moment of rage, deleted people, places or events from having ever existed, or something else he might come to regret having done. Needless to say, this would render Alien-X extremely stressful for a mature Ben. Ben's most powerful aliens are shown to be Atomix, Clockwork, Feedback and Way Big, with Alien-X in an entirely different league. Thus, the X-fusions would be used to super-charge these 4. So Atomic-X would have unlimited (note: not infinite, just as much as Ben thinks he will need) strength, ClockX would have unlimited time powers/speed, X-Feed would have unlimited energy manipulation and Big-X would have unlimited cosmic awareness. Basically, they'd split the main aspects of Alien-X that Ben would want to use, with less risk of mistakes on Ben's part. I would greatly appreciate hearing what other fans think of this headcanon of Atomic-X. (Thanks for reading this if you got to here btw 😁)

[@rolay7730]

During the "hybrid alien X" discussion, I thought about how to make that idea more interesting. I agree that the hybrids should be weaker, but the biggest change I would make is that Bellicus and Serena could change to match the alien mentally. This cuts them off from seeing everything in the universe, so they can be surprised more easily but also lets them act more. Because they would change mentally, they can act without Ben more often, possibly making small things happen as he pilots the body or even taking control of the body away from him. This would limit how often he wants to use them just like normal alien X while also making it more interesting. So a grey matter hybrid would make them more calculating compared to how single-minded they can usually be. Plus, the tiny hybrid could create massive machines with its mind. A Wild mutt hybrid could be more primitive and literally change the area he is in into a jungle for him to hunt. If you want to go wild, it would have three heads for each of the personalities. A Rath hybrid would be hilarious, I have no idea what would happen to Serena, but Bellicus literally wouldn't change.

[@pjdianalan7934]

Other hybrids could be: Heatblast +Alien X: Cosmic flames, similar to Ghost Rider Ghostfreak +Alien X: Able to possess even gods, or just create endless darkness.

1:38:34 I think my best explanation for this moment is that the Ben controlling him ISN'T TRULY focused. To explain, this is a Ben that has gone around stealing Omnitrices from across the multiverse. Every time we saw him shut down a Four Arms assault, he always had multiple emblems to show how far he had progressed in his goals and his confidence in his ability to enact them, as well as his overwhelming advantage. By the time the final clash happens, we are in a different position. This is a Ben who has had all of that confidence and planning literally ripped away from him to return to where he started. Theoretically, even if the various Omnitrices were little more than trophies, just this fact would cause great turmoil. The standard Ben template has historically been shown to be prone to impulse against better reason and past performance, and this Ben is no exception. Despite having every advantage in the scenario, when faced with unprecedented loss, he lashes out emotionally to end the conflict, rather than focusing on using his power intelligently and steeling himself to do the work all over again. His emotions are getting the better of him, and causing him to under think the scenario, leading to his downfall.

I feel the biggest mistake was giving Ben full control over Alien X in any way shape or form, instead of doing the opposite and doubling down on the fact the debates get more difficult and each time he changes there is even less of a chance Bellicus and Serena will allow him to do what he wants to do (ontop of also either retconing or no longer using time dilation so all the debates have to happen in real time). Without the caveat that ben has to try and convince 2 beings who could not care less about the stakes of the universe about what he wants to do, it does just make Alien X the Deus X Machina where in Ben has no excuse to not always just be using him in any given situation where there is a risk of someone getting killed or hut. Omniverse in general runs into a bit of a issue where they seem to often not have characters take high stakes or large threats seriously. Its one of the many reason i dislike Omniverse. I also equally find in weird/dumb in general that the way Ben convinces the two of them to give full control to him is to....present the prospect that if he pilots Alien X that they can debate endlessly among the two of them. Even though their whole thing in the first appearance was wanting Ben present because without a 3rd voice they were trapped in a endless stalemate that neither of them liked. So why on earth is it now, suddenly that's a thing they WANT to do, and is somehow the big thing to convince them (considering aswell they already do that when Ben is not transformed). It makes him unlock full control of Alien X not only be a problem, but also feel completely unearned.

@@njrk97 at least in 5YL, Ben knows this, he knows it's a pointless Deus ex machina and it's not in his place to rewrite reality just to save the day. He intentionally put mental blocks since his morality depends on it.

[@Emily12471]

Alien X is not a Deus ex Machina, it was established and shown off in the episode x=Ben+2 He is OP but a deus ex machina is when a situations is solved by a contrived and unexpected answer

[@whiteeye3453]

Too bad people use omniverse as proof to wank him into deus ex machina using ambiguous arguments

[@kittycatcon2374]

When he said 'too much contradiction between the writers' I really felt that. It's Erin Hunter all over again. So thanks for this video Rob, it really helped clear things up for me.

Missed your content, man! I hope you had a good first month of the year, and I also hope you take it easy on yourself! You're a really cool person, and self care is super important. I know how draining social media and content creation can be, and we're all grateful for your work in the Ben 10 fanbase. Congrats on 400k!!

I know I’m in the minority, but I just LOVE Omniverse. They are SOOOOOO in depth with everything! The explanation of the art style changing is sooooo good and didn’t need to be made but they did it anyways!

[@kermitgotthesickkicks4265]

I agree completely

Ben 10 reboot tops all the others

[@strav8672]

From what it looks like, I think Ben was created a black hole to defeat the Gladiator and in such, it would have to make too many decisions on how to escape. And because it was directly made by a celestialsapian, would be able to over power one

[@zyro7756]

Not really keeping up with their twitters or anything I thought Kuro and the gang were just taking a break. I accepted that and just waited for the next breakdown, drawing, analysis or any of the other channel regulars I was wrong, they were simply preparing their ultimate weapon And congratulations on 400K!

[@Catalyst375]

Perhaps the multiple Omnitrixes not only suppress the Alien X personalities and give this Ben full control, but also allow him to remain in Alien X form indefinitely, given he falls out of the form after the last extra Omnitrix is removed.

[@ricksanchez71]

I don't think you understood how much people loved Ben ten. Like I subscribed to you as my go to Ben 10 professional. I grew up with Ben ten and it was a series with a lot of depth but also unanswered questions. Your theories are part of my headcannon for the series now. Congrats

[@mr.greenface3105]

I just realized, could Ben multiply himself with Alien X and use them all together because he's been in forms that do the same thing like Echo Echo and Ditto?!?

[@EchoTheWorld03]

Congratulations on the 400k! You and everyone on the Ink Tank team brought back interest in Ben 10. He is my favorite hero of all time! I'm glad to be part of this community of enjoying and debating Ben 10. Keep up the good work! 👍🏾

These guys have helped me get back into Ben 10 and I still have to read 5YL! Let’s go for 1mil subs!! So glad to see them grow after subbing sometime ago!

I probably will never get over how much of a gem Ben 10 is. It has to be the most complex sci-fi cartoon of all time that was actually written for young people. Written before it's time. We are really here discussing the platonic concepts of reality. Kids who grow up in space will dead ass carry the legends of this show as humanity climbs the ladder of scientific understanding. We'll be knocking on worm holes in Ben 10 will still be relevant, think about that

[@mkultrarare]

I'm pretty sure the idea of alien x existing before ben(refer to serena and bellicus's conversations about their past arguments pre ben) are supposed to express that celestialsapiens are time omnipotent before their conception similar to eren/the founding titan in aot, where he exists throughout time despite not technically living through all of it

[@Valtaoi_007]

so, when 2 celestial sapiens fight it can either: A. they both hold back so they dont destroy the multiverse for no reason and just throw some punches B. destroy the multiverse and possibly the omniverse trying to kill each other C. basically 2 children playing (example could be a kid making a super-one-hit-ultra-destruction-attack-that-cant-be-blocked and the other kid makes a super-one-hit-ultra-destruction-attack-that-cant-be-blocked-shield) and ends up on a giant nothing for eternity

@@prodigy1636 wouldn't the omniverse be every multiverse or universes in existence rolled in to one? I mean that is essentially the definition marvel comics uses at least.
