#the omnitrix

[puhpandas]

i’m so intrigued by how the omnitrix behaves in dynamite so far that i just had to draw out some thoughts i had about if it were more sentient than we’re used to😁 how it crawled up to ben itself and chose aliens for him, and the emphasis on “it’s as if you actually HEARD me” paints such an interesting picture and i’m so excited to see what happens as the comic continues!!

the omnitrixs little expression doodles i wanted to resemble a galvanic mechamorph for yknow looking alike to other things in ben 10s universe but also because the omnitrixs creator is also a galvan. full circle

"Ok Ben 10 is tough but can he beat....?" Yes. The answer is yes. And here's why. Between all the aliens in that watch there's an answer for everything.

Anyone not physically strong enough gets folded by Four Arms, Humungousaur, Way Big etc.

Anyone not mentally strong enough is folded by Ghostfreak, Toe Pick, Pesky Dust etc.

Energy users are no diffed by Feedback and friends.

There is no outsmarting Grey Matter or Brainstorm.

No permanently killing Wildvine, Swampfire, The Worst etc.

No outrunning XLR8 or Fasttrack.

If you can outrun them you fold to Clockwork.

If you somehow manage to beat Clockwork, you fold to Alien X

If by some ungodly miracle you manage to get past Alien X, you better pray the Omnitrix doesn't consider you an alien it can scan because now Ben has the thing that could beat his bullshit on his side at the peak of it's capabilities.

The watch also has protocols to keep him alive and reacts faster than light.

And if need be he becomes Echo Echo, multiplies then the clones transform into everyone at once

The moral of the story is Ben 10 is bullshit, the Omnitrix is bullshit, Powerscaling is bullshit and I love all of it

You know how both Ghost King! Danny Phantom and Omnitrix! Ben 10 are super popular AUs?

Why does no one ever combine them?

They both have the exact same level of angst and horror potential (Danny being both alive and dead, possessed by his own ghost, and Ben wearing the Omnitrix as it wears him as well ending as something more than all of the DNA combined and every nanite and AI in the watch and something less, both equally inhuman and alien in nature and both just as immortal and everlasting).

Like imagine them meeting after the End Of All Things™ before Ben as Alien X remakes everything and starts the cycle all over again. Danny being what he is (since souls are immutable and indestructible) would be aware of the cycle but this time they could be friends and change the nature of the loom of fate.

Also like Paradox and Clockwork are right there too, they could both mentor their respective abominations (affectionate) while helping them deal with a neverending existence as they form pillars everlasting to uphold and remake and structure everything that ever is and was and will be.

Edit

Also like conceptually they're literally foils for each other.

Danny as Ghost King is Death an keeper of souls. Ben fused with the Omnitrix is Life and all its possibilities and culture. Both hold sway over reality. Ben is literally why the Multiverse exists in the first place, having held the Big Bang in the palms of his hand, and Danny will always and forever be at The End. They're literally two sides of the same extreme representing the totality of both Life and Death.

Part One of Josh 10!

Josh would absolutely love the Omnitrix since he loves aliens.

At the end of Ben 10 Alien Force, season 2, (after stopping the Hybreed genocide by giving them gene therapy) Ben is aware that the omnitrix has a digital replica of his voice with which it can communicate with him, and that it can alter other people’s genes from a distance. I think Ben should have asked it many questions when the war was over.

So far I’ve got:

Can Albedo be returned to his original form? Cause body dysphoria sucks without being forced to occupy a brain that can’t go as fast as your original one did. Albedo is being tortured.

Is it modifying his body in some way.

Can it modify his body in some way?

Why did it originally give him the wrong aliens and time out at largely random?

How to prevent other people from transforming him without his consent.

What is powering it and how can it give him extra mass or take his mass away without killing him?

Any other questions you would ask the omnitrix in Ben’s position?
