The first time I saw zombozo he wasn’t scary at all it’s just that every time I see in a Ben 10 episode I actually find him very annoying rather than scary

I’ve loved “Ben 10” ever since it first premiered and I’m happy any time it gets its props.😊💚🖤 I personally always loved the ending in “Last Laugh” because of Ghostfreak’s awesome lines, revealing his inner form and whooping Zombozo’s butt.😊 Steve Blum is just an amazing voice actor to bring the threat and scare to Ghostfreak/Zs’Skayr’s voice.😊

How about "Max Out" from Alien Force? That one takes directly from the "Alien" franchise with people being turned into DNAliens via facehuggers, including Gwen's own brother. Not to mention the supposed death of Grandpa Max.

@@michaelcarlton1484 That is sweet, but no writer should introduce a sibling of a main character only to ignore them afterwards. Imagine if JK Rowling had just suddenly ignored the existence of Ron's siblings. It would've made more sense for Ken to be a part of the team than Kevin. Maybe give him his own arc where he blames himself for Max's "death" and tries to make up for it by following in his footsteps as a Plumber.

Kevin's Big Score is one of my favorite Alien Force episodes and the third act where Kevin was essentially forced to become Vulkanus' living gem mine forever has stuck out to me because of how horrifying that is to see Kevin be subjected to that.

I’m surprised that So Long and Thanks for All the Smoothies didn’t make it on this list. Ben literally witnessed his entire universe be destroyed and, using Alien X, he had to recreate everything as best as he could (minus things like the grape Mr. Smoothy flavor).

If Ben 10 had its own version of the The Simpsons’ ‘Treehouse of Horror’ anthology episodes, I imagine these episodes would be a collection of ‘What Ifs’ where everything that could have gone wrong DID go wrong, including but not limited to: - What if Vilgax had successfully got the Omnitrix from Ben before Max and Gwen could get to him in Secrets? - What if the Tennysons had failed to stop the nuclear meltdown at the power plant in Side Effects? - What if The Great One had destroyed the Earth in The Big Tick? - What if Ben had got stuck in the Null Void with Vilgax and Kevin in Back with a Vengeance?

[@tanandalynch9441]

Ghost Freak had his own consciousness because he actually wasn't an original alien. He was never supposed to be in the Omnitrix. He hitched a ride on Wildvine and this also explains why when Kevin merged with the alien DNA, he never actually got any of Ghost Freak's abilities. Also I'd replace To Catch A Falling Star with Camp Fear.
