helen and pierce. fraternal twins from el paso texas, 6 minutes apart (helen is older). their last name is not wheels but pierce wont let helen tell you what it is

they were selected by the rooters for their unique genetic anomalies (twins, both born with vitiligo) which were theorized to help along the genetic merging. their parents own a body shop and are still looking for them.

Ben 10: Fixing Sir George

One of the more divisive characters in Ultimate Alien was Sir George, the original Forever Knight. On one hand, he’s an interesting parallel to Ben and is one of the few antagonists to sympathize with Ben’s frustrations at feeling stifled. On the other hand he ordered a purge that got Pierce, and possibly dozens more aliens, killed and was never called out for it. Pierce’s death wasn’t even mentioned again till Omniverse during the controversial Rooters arc which feels disrespectful as he was part of the team since the Highbreed arc in Alien Force and no one acknowledges him. Some of the issues with the final arc of UAF could be blamed on the passing of Dwayne McDuffie with the crew not wanting to revise any drafts out of respect for him and the production of Omniverse taking up importance as most of the crew stayed on despite the difference in tone/artstyle.

I think McDuffie intended to give George more of a morally grey character arc akin to Reinrassig from AF but his death and the messy production of the final season may have left us with the disappointing Dagon arc. The ideas for a good story were there with Ben’s arc about ultimate power and control and his conflict with Julie over using alien technology to change the world but it fell flat compared to what came before. The Highbreed arc was the best of the UAF era, AF season 3 was the result of CN meddling and forcing them to change the story but it still had some decent episodes. Aggregor and Ultimate Kevin had rushed endings and the latter is divisive because of Ben’s decision to kill Kevin but they were filled with world building, passion and storytelling. Dagon was supposed to be the second arc of AF but was pushed back due to executive meddling and it turned out to be the weakest of UAF.

There are two ways one could rectify the issues with George’s character. Either have him be the one Forever Knight who doesn’t agree with the purge to show he has some morals or give him an arc where he learns he was wrong to be xenophobic towards aliens. The former would make him more heroic and one could still use the idea of him having outdated views compared to Ben without him attempting genocide. The latter would hold him accountable for the purge and force him to learn empathy for aliens. It seems like the writers wanted to sweep the purge under the rug as George received Ascalon from Azmuth and respects him. If better written, it could have been a commentary on how racists will have token minorities they respect and how they will steal or appropriate their creations for their agenda. The Forever Knights steal alien tech and use it to promote xenophobia.

Continuing with the idea of George being a morally grey character, have Ben call him out for the purge and Pierce’s death during their confrontation. Ben had worked with Pierce to defeat Animo in AF and showed concern for the Plumber kids after they had their powers drained by Kevin in UA. It is odd that they never addressed Pierce’s death. Maybe Ben could attempt to change George’s mind like he did with Reinrassig by forcing George to ponder his beliefs. It would also be nice if we got to see George being heroic outside of the final battle with Dagon by having him help people and giving him a more compassionate side. Maybe show him helping an alien outside of Ben’s team or Azmuth as part of his arc of unlearning his bigotry. This would make Ben calling him a friend feel earned. Reiny unlearned his prejudice and helped stop the Highbreed invasion which makes Ben calling him a friend actually justified unlike George.

Sir George had potential as a character and parallel to Ben but it’s hard to ignore that he was the reason we had an episode titled “The Purge” and was the reason the Forever Knights committed all the crimes they did in the OS-UA. Rather than ignore his actions, the writers should have either changed it so Driscoll ordered the genocide and George reigns him in as a way of showing he’s different from the others or made him more of a morally grey character who learns he was wrong. Have his motivation for the purge be that he needed to rally an army to fight Dagon which mirrors irl politicians who align themselves with hate groups to win elections. UA’s final arc tackled a lot of concepts relating to irl issues like xenophobia starting with Prisoner 775 but it didn’t quite stick the landing and a few rewrites plus expansion on character arcs or motivations would have improved it.

How are the relationships between the team Ben quartets in the Gwen and 23 universes like?

23’s universe

Ben and Gwen- not great, they do not get along whatsoever. They barely miss each other either since they never got to bond like thier other counterparts.

Gwen and Kevin- not fully sure they would date but they definitely like each other since Gwen doesn’t care about Ben getting smacked around by Kevin. Gwen may become an antagonist to Ben along with Kevin.

Ben and Kevin- Kevin despises him and Ben thinks very shallowly of Kevin at first. That is until he becomes a problem that 23 has to deal with. Finding out about his past lessens 23s hate towards Kevin, but nothing changes for Kevin accept to make him angrier at the world when 23 tries to sympathize with losing a family member.

Ben and Rook- like I said before grade A student with the one who thinks they’re too cool for school. They get along well enough and 23 does amaze Rook but only so much. He slowly come to realize 23 is kinda a brat overtime, but over that period of time 23 doesn’t mellow out as much as he starts to see the more darker sides of reality. So it’s a two things at once always with these two.

Albedo and Ben- this universes albedo is the same as prime, except he is right in thinking letting the kid keep the watch can only spell disaster. 23 just turns around, calls Albedo a sad soggy mop and a hater, then leaves. Kid cares very little about what albedo has to say and is very rude about it.

Lucy and Ben- these two get into so many shenanigans together that it’s ridiculous. They are each others lack of self control. Little chaos gremlins sharing the same impulsive brain cell.

Gwen mostly avoids anyone in Ben’s life in 23s universe so she doesn’t interact much with people he’s around.

Gwen 10

Ben and Gwen- pretty much like siblings with how close they are. Since both of them dabble in magic they’re constantly bringing new spells they found to one another. Gwen never had the same issue Ben did in my aus Prime universe with too much mana. Anodites aren’t ment to avoid use of their mana. thankfully, Gwen was so invested in magic despite already having the watch that she never had to deal with an overload of mana to such an extreme extent since she uses her magic occasionally during the day.

Kevin and Gwen- their relationship in this au is the closest you’ll get to the prime one. Except now that Kevin has complete control over his absorption abilities and no longer has the side effect of madness to worry about. they’re a terrifying and efficient duo. He often partially transforms to whatever alien that is needed in any situation to best tag team enemies. She however now gets the great luck of accidentally destroying the crap outta Kevin’s stuff, but she always makes sure to replace it or help fixing it.

Ben and Kevin- since it was still Ben who Kevin ran away with in classic most story beats stay the same with thier relationship. though Kevin feels guilt towards him being the reason Ben turned his own mana slightly radioactive to avoid further absorption. Ben feels also feels guilt to not trying hard enough to convince Kevin during the classic series to stop his warpath.

Gwen and Charmcaster- they get along quite well, Gwen is happy and annoyed to have Hope around, she wouldn’t change time to have it any other way. Though her snobby attitude to knowing more spells and curses than Gwen definitely gets on her nerves and Gwen’s very follow the rules and guidelines mentality gives Hope a headache. Hope was slow to trust Gwen and vice versa, thought once they learnt to trust they other they’ll always have each others back. They often are each others first to call person when in a pickle since they are a bit more level headed in everyday situations than the two boys, but not by much.

Charmcaster and Kevin- two reformed ex villains… they are both enablers to the others somewhat old habits at times, Kevin secretly (completely by accident) taught her the trade of con artist. She now con’s students down on their luck with her mini store of random common misplaced items, (one of the common items is a geiger counter). And Hope has shown him how to make smoke bombs and other quick getaway tricks.( he uses them often im not so legal trades when things go south) they however don’t hang out much alone since things are awkward between the two since they are not very social people.

Charmcaster and Ben- they get along like a house on fire. Put two people who always kinda wished to have a sibling into a somewhat sibling like bond and you get these two. Hope took most to Ben out of the other two due to his more strangeness. Also he is the one who kept hold of her book for years in the hopes of giving it back.(he felt bad for kinda inadvertently stealing it back in classic). Both are grateful to the others assistance to their own weakness. Ben willingly allows Hope to draw on his extra mana (as long as she gives warning) so that she doesn’t have to stick so close to ledgerdomain in worries of being at risk of low energy. This also aids Ben in not being overwhelmed with too much mana of his own. And in return she has to teach him all she knows of magic and anything he could possibly do with his mana.

Ben and sunny- (Since Gwen is still the golden child of the family now having the watch and the spark Sunny doesn’t feel very completaive with Ben.) In fact Sunny wants to see Ben succeed not over her but over Gwen. But when she and Ben meet in alien force he has already lost his human form and been fully awakened. Instead of wanting to get stronger he… wants to build his body back? Sunny thinks Ben is very strange and Ben feel sympathy for Sunny being the black sheep of the family but doesn’t tolerate how ignorant she is of others and their opinion’s.

Julie and Ben- the same in prime but they did not break up. Julie still has ship and goes to tennis matches internationally but this does not affect her relationship with Ben. They are very sweet together, though Ben does drive her nuts about how oblivious he is to social and romantic cues at times and Julie is sometimes waaaay to vague about things for Ben. They do talk things out when things get tough.

Julie and Charmcaster- they get along and Julie gets to interduce Hope to the childhood she missed and stuff she never knew. She feels pitty for Hope but keeps that to herself as Hope would not appreciate being pittied.

The plumbers kids(the rooters arc isn’t cannon to this au) and the trio+2

Manny. He likes none of them, he will not tell anyone why but he will challenge you to a fight to find out why and decide to change the rules on why he won’t tell you after regardless if he wins or loses, Hope has definitely thrown him through a few things after getting fed up with him for that.

Helen. She enjoys Hopes presence and tolerates the rest to varying degrees. she is fine with the rest but only slightly iffy on Kevin after his whole driven to insanity arc. She stays polite to him much like Alan though. Her and Gwen no matter how hard they try just can’t manage to be anything beyond polite and quietly annoyed with each other.

Alan. Vibes with all of them, took a while to trust Kevin again but now they’re buddy buddy with each other, both car enjoyers. He and Hope acknowledge the other exist but thats as far as it goes.

Pierce. Playful rivalry with Ben, these two will compete for or with anything. Teases Gwen about her going evil often much to her chargin(she pulled the im evil card in one episode like Ben did in alien force as a training stunt). Not a fan of Kevin still. Him and Julie surprisingly get along great with her wing-manning for him when he’s in a bit of a situation when it comes to women. Hope wanting to get in on the rivalry just simply annoys him.

I have much more ideas of what changes and what stays the same in Gwen 10 vs Prime. Like what is effected by Gwen and her way of thinking combined with her having the watch vs Ben and his Just roll with it attitude and boundless mana.

Whats your favorite ships and most hated ships (if you have) in Ben 10?

OHOHOOHOHO FINALLY!

Well...my Favorite ship is actually, surprisingly, Benierce (Ben x Pierce Wheels), i find their relationship (Before Pierce dies) really fun to iterate on. I also will start posting them soon.

Benrook isn't my personal favorite but i'd say i like it. (Multishipper)

One of my most hated ships though...hmmm...i don't...know. Probably proships and weirdly enough Benrook too (specifically the fanon version where they just sexualize both over and over)

I'm sure someone has pointed it out before, but all of the Amalgam Kids have such... dumb names I would not be surprised if they came up with them themselves.

Fire alien named Alan Al bright. Multi-armed bruiser named Manny Arm strong. Speedster named Hel en Wheels. Fucking... Pierce Wheels.

Inktober day 6: pierce

We’re back on track with getting them done a posted in the same day. But it’s still a bit rushed cause of college.

Decided the best thing to do was the most unjustly killed character in Ben 10; Pierce Wheels. I thought he was soooooo cool growing up. But cause I watched the episodes out of order I had no idea why he didn’t show up for AGES until I binged it all in anticipation for Omniverse. RIP
