In terms of Omniverse, my favorite villain has got to be Malware. His origin is unique from other Ben 10 villains, he's so much fun visually, is one of the only people who actually SCARES Ben, and Ben isn't actually his main target but he chooses to traumatize Ben anyway by killing Feedback right in front of him.

[@darthchilde8880]

also he seems very original villain,cuz charmcaster, vilgax feel like wanda and thanos to me.

[@Blitz_Blazer]

I think Vilgax is more Darkseid than Thanos, but Malware is a good villain and he's the reason why I hate him because of him killing Feedback

[@MetroidFusion5044]

Malware is a fantastic character, he hates himself, and tries hard to be like others. He got tired of waiting and decided to go it alone, but when he realized that everything he does will not really cure him, he decided to try to make others think that he is superior to other mechamorfs, in a horrible way. However. He takes out his anger on Ben by taking away his favorite alien (for Ben the shape he always wants to be), because he has never been able to be like the others. He has a deep hatred for his father and tries in every way to eliminate him, even by allying himself with the most despicable people.

Feel like Khyber was mostly carried by a solid concept (a hunter of all of Ben's aliens) & the Nemetrix, but he is the reason why Kevin gets an alien dog & is one of the consistent (serious) villains to Ben to deal with for several major villain group in Omniverse. The only real problem is that his character (writing wise) is to reliant on other characters for him to get involved, & we never see him evolve beyond his initial gimmick of a hunter of aliens. Well aside from the Pixie Dust scene. That was some weird stuff.

[@GreaterGrievobeast55]

I mean, does he need to evolve past his hunter gimmick? It’s a villain motivation that has fairly unique in the setting and doesn’t become nonsensical. Breaking from that could be more of a character betrayal than anything else, like what they did to vilgax. It is true that khyber tends to be playing second fiddle to other baddies, but I don’t take him as a big bad setting effecting foe anyway.

[@pikagammerpluspizza7478]

@@GreaterGrievobeast55 That's True, they could have ruined him if he showed up to much. Plus by pairing him up with several of the main villains of the Omniverse Seasons, it does make him seem more dangerous. Its just... he feels a bit to much was copied from the dynamic Kravin has with Spider Man.

[@perry-1572]

Honestly you could say Animo stands the test of time in Ben 10 because he's essentially future proofed; he's a goofy baddie with a fun gimmick, which makes him extremely easy to apply to future iterations. In terms of consistent villains im 100% in agreement with Ash, I think Animo is easily the best one, mainly cuz to me it feels like he doesn't need all that much background to be engaging. I think an issue I have with a lot of Ben 10 villains is that they can feel pretty nebulous outside of being selfish and malicious..which is kind of why I don't like Vilgax that much. In Classic he definitely is effective with how simple he is, but I feel like considering his origin as an intergalactic warlord, there almost should be something more? Like he would be a perfect way to engineer conflict or learn more about the universe, but ultimately he's kind of just an isolated individual when compared to the rest of the universe. same could apply to Hex, but I think his redemption and even to an extent the variety of his schemes makes him more engaging to me. All in all, I'm positively thrilled to see this format back again; I loved it during the aliens video, and I love it here. I really hope you guys continue to do this more often cuz I feel like the chemistry between you two is so enjoyable to see in action. Hope all is and will continue to be well!

He's an evil kid, he's someone with power who decided "fuck the world, I woke up and chose violence". There's so many cases of great power and great responsibility in t.v. that watching a kid realize that he was born for the role of villain is so entertaining. Every time I watch him antagonize Ben it feels so good that when he appeared in Omniverse as a kid again it made me smile because they argue like two fucking brats all the time before going at it.

Not in a sort of calcuated revenge sort of way, but from kevins first episodes, you can tell his upbringing was rough and he doesn’t have a direct point to pin it on so he just lashes out.

I am quite surprised, that you were so harsh with Captain Nemesis Yeah, in Omniverse he was nothing special, just a character for an "Avengers rip-off" gag, along side with Billy Billions and Kangaroo Commando. BUT... He was pretty decent in Ultimate alien. Heck, i can still remeber very distinctly the first episode with him. Sure, he is totally an Iron Man rip-off, but at the same time... he is a mirror reflection of Ben's personality. Just like him he wanted to be a hero and be seen as a hero, but he is very selfish and egoistic like Ben in his early days. He build an entire career on a single thought, that he is the hero. And another interesting idea about him is that Ben idealized him. And that is not a common for him. I really like, how Nemesis gets more and more frustrated with Ben and how he "steals his glory", that in the end he goes absolutely nuts. That moment, when Nemesis calls Ben and says "I got her" , and Ben immediately turns over and rides to him. And when he arrives, he doesn't even say his alien's name, and straight up goes Ultimate. You can guess, that this is the moment, where Nemesis crossed a line. Oh, sorry, i forgot, he is OVERLORD now. Ben fights him pretty brutally, if you ask me. And in the end Ben yells at him, until realising that fame and glory affects everyone, and Gwen and Kevin even call him out on that (and there was a subplot about it, but i can't really remember it fully, so yeah) And don't even let me start about that another episode with him and Jeniffer, come on. So, i believe, that he at the very least deserved "Average". Nothing special. He was also in the video game... yeah. But i have no other complaints... unlike the last time... So have a good day, and i hope you will get a little more apreciation for Captain Nemesis/OVERLORD (god, does anyone actually call him like that?) When you will get to him in UA breakdowns.

I'm surprised Billy Billions and Kangaroo Commando weren't on this list. I personally liked Captain Nemesis solely because of the scene where he says "Call me...OVERLORD!" and Ben replies "How about I call you a good therapist?" But I also find it really interesting how he manipulates the actress girl to get him out of prison and on the run, and his turn to villainy shows the dark side of heroism, and how easily someone who is only a hero for glory can turn. I feel like he had more potential as a foil for Ben that way, and I feel like he hits a bit as a too real villain in UAF (who got made more comical in OV, but I really like the Brainstorm vs Vengers fight, and how the Vengers were an obvious spoof of super-hero team-ups in other media).

[@christopherwebster6354]

22:59 The Ragnarok episode was pretty good when you think about Kevin's character arc. How it helped contextualize Kevin's decision to join Ben's team and protect the Earth. Allowing Kevin a moment to be a hero on his own terms by refusing to save Ragnarok. The way Ragnarok easily handles Ben, Gwen, and Kevin every time they fight. That episode was a part of the buildup for the end of Alien Force for a good reason. _It'd be a real shame if there was some sort of story arc that completely undermines and invalidates the entire thing._ 25:28 The problem with Servantis is that he is tied to the Rooters Arc, and the more you think about that arc, the less sense it makes; which for a story that is trying to undo confusing retcons, is pretty terrible. Okay, so he wiped Kevin's mind of being used to make the Amalgam Kids and gave Max false memories to get him to keep an eye on Kevin in case he tried to do this scheme again. Few questions: -Why did he need to make Kevin and Max think the former was a part of an alien species? If you just had Devin Levin be a mutant, nothing changes about the story. -How do you explain the picture of Devin that Kevin's Mom has? -If Servantis planted it, why did he also make the frame the key to Ragnarok's ship which would absorb the sun's energy, thus dooming the planet. -Speaking of, how does Ragnarok fit into all this? It's said on the wiki that he's a member of the Rooters, but why would Servantis work with someone who's threatening the Earth and possibly the universe? He completely goes against Servantis's motivation. -If Servantis was so scared of Ben using the Omnitrix, why didn't he just steal it when Ben took it off for five years? It's implied he knew about it, hence why he hadn't attacked Ben sooner. -How many people's memory did Servantis need to alter? What would happen if Kevin's Mother talked to her family about her, 'late husband,' or if Max can't find Devin's files or talked with another Plumber about him? -If he faked the files, how come no other Plumber noticed they were fake? -Where did Alan get his Plumber badge if his father was never a Plumber? -What about Aggregor? It's stated on the wiki that the original idea was for Aggregor to be a clone of Kevin, but the show never addresses this. Furthermore, he talks about Osmosian laws. Why would Servantis make him think he's a part of a fake species? If he abandoned the idea when Ben took off the Omnitrix, why didn't he just kill Aggregor? -If Osmossians are fake, why do Azmuth, Paradox, and even the Weapon Masters treat them like they're real?

[@GreaterGrievobeast55]

personal list: 1. *Albedo* is pretty much my favorite twist on the evil twin character! He’s his own person that just happens to still have a opposite personality of ben, instead of just made that way. He had a lot of influence on the series by adding that ultimatrix feature (which I think he uses really well) and he both a cool threat but has enough developed character that you can feel sorry for him even if most of the stuff that happens to him is his fault. 2: *Malware* a cool perversion of one of bens aliens and a really awesome design! truamatizing ben by killing feedback was really scary and I think his dymamic as azmuths failed creation is engaging. My favorite of the Big boss villains I think. 3: *Z’skayr* being a traitorous alien of the watch is really cool! The fact he was once a tyrant within the anur system is also neat! Of all the villains that have been in every one of the old series I think he’s been the most consistently cool! HONARARY: *The Highbreed* as a whole faction are the best antagonist of the series in my opinion! Like a creepier version of the daleks but with a better message of the consequences of purity. Each one that appeared was cool, and the fact that they didn’t have a main leader to stop and fix everything felt a bit more realistic. After vid: HELL YEAH ALBEDO GOT AN ULTIMATE SPOT! OH THANK GOODNESS YOU DON’T LIKE AGGREGOR EITHER! I thought I was the only one that man is so bland it hurts! His motives, hid design. He’s just a walking plot convenience and it just gets so repetitive. I think you made the right call with vilgax if you take all his versions into account, og series was definetly the best but alien force weighs him down just a touch. Dagon, was basically the villain that introduced to eldritch horror. And even though he isn’t that scary I think he makes for a pretty interesting menace and cool battle. I wish he looked more like a dragon though! I think the werewolf and mummy deserve and average spot. They are just monsters, but there very well don monster and sometimes the show needs that sort of villain.

One of the few things I like about Eon being an alt Ben is the juxtaposition. Prime Ben relies on Paradox & views on as a great ally but sadly only shows up when it’s very serious. Eon on the other hand despises Paradox & like you said has a rivalry with him. It’s also not a coincide that whenever he would show up Paradox would show up soon after. Kinda like a more serious version of Albedo & Ben.

[@corphish129]

Vilgax coming showing up out of nowhere in the middle of an episode, boasting about his new plan to destroy Ben, seeing Ma Vreedle there, and just immediately packing up and leaving was a hilarious joke. Unfortunately, the Omniverse writers didn't seem to be able to tell when a joke causes more harm than good. If it was funny they just chucked it in there.

I really wanna see a ranking for side characters, and I can absolutely agree with the list, just wish vilgax was higher but hey, Enjoyed it none the less!

[@ghostsurfer23]

My personal headcanon for aligning both versions of Eon is that he was stuck in a time loop, where at the start he was a Chronian, and everything about that backstory was true. But he gets caught in a loop because when he succeeds in taking Ben's body, he eventually wears it down again, and instead of looking for a new solution he just steps into the place of his past self, since he knows that plan works and he can get a new body out of it. But the result is that with each new loop, we get an Eon who is a little more Ben. So in one timeline the loop is broken when Ben breaks free of his control (like we see in the movie) but in another timeline the loop goes on for so long that we eventually get a being that is a hybrid of the two, aka the Eon we meet in UAF who sees himself as a version of Ben 10.

[@ratcicleking]

I used to love Aggregor, but after rewatching Ultimate, he started to get annoying to me, because of how much he won merely thanks to ''the plot needs him to win''. Forget the Omnitrix or Ascalon, the ultimate weapon in the universe is his spear, there wasn't a single character that thing couldn't beat, and he almost killed Ben with it. I kinda wish instead of ''spear beam I win'' they focused more on the powers he stole from across the galaxy, like they did in his Escape from Aggregor (Maybe show that his ship has even more prisoners whom he uses as quick power ups depending on his current objectives). And after becoming Ultimate Aggregor, while it made more sense for him to win, him being absolutely unbeatable didn't, and most times it was explained with him using powers of the Andromeda aliens that we never saw before or again from either those five or Ben's forms (Galapegus' invulnerability to magic, Bivalvan's tough shell withstanding ridiculously strong attacks). So he felt less like a compelling villain and more like everyone was fighting the script itself, because the endgoal needed to be ''he couldn't be beaten so Kevin absorbed energy to stop him''.

[@ufazig]

I do enjoy agreggor conceptually, but man, the fights with him were pretty stupid aside from "escape from agreggor" and the humungosaur fight. Ben becoming an electric alien KNOWING the guy was chasing an electric alien was just so dumb. And then Ben just gets stomped when fighting him in the forge of creation, but then Kevin casually stomps him? It made no sense. The ultimate fight between him and Kevin should've also been much better.
