Ben 10: Triple Threat

Decided to upload pics (not scans) of my copy of Triple Threat in case anybody wanted to read it

Rest of pics in reblog

[kariachi]

Sometimes I'm remember that they removed Manny's disability when they brought him over to OV and I want to bite people.

[sweetpeaches666]

(Ben is hesitant to call Prior Gilhil for a favor.)

Manny: What's the hold up? You got daddy issues with him too.

Ben: No! It's just... we haven't been close. He's usually busy with work. He calls sometimes. But only when he needs me to do something.

Kevin and Manny: Daddy issues.

[cartoonqueen16]

Random question, which of these Ben 10 character would you rather date and why?

[autoacafiles]

[rolaplayor101]

There's this thing in the Ben 10 fandom that i wanna talk about that often goes ignored and its the fact that there's always conversations about "The Girls Of Ben 10" and how they deserved better... But here's the thing

All the characters of Ben 10 are underdeveloped. All of them are robbed of times to shine. Its not just Ben's old dates, who get the most attention in these conversations, it's women who exist outside of Ben completely. Its men who we see a few times but still know next to nothing about.

Look at Charmcaster. Charmcaster had a huge story line. She had soooo much going for her that was outside of Ben completely. She was the daughter of a man who fought against oppression and died, then she went into Legerdomain and took it back from said oppressor, and became its new ruler. But then?? She was a bad guy again?? Like, even outside the Michael Morningstar thing, she wanted to get her dad back and she killed all those people and even managed to kill the plumber squad, and then after uaf they completely got rid of that storyline. She has a rich backstory and so much ahead of her story wise that is so interesting!! And it was left for.. Whatever happened in omniverse..

And then there's Pierce, who was the older brother of Helen and friend to Manny, who had so much personality hyped up before we'd actually met him. He was capturing plumbers kids, then got sucked in himself, and met Max, and... Then what?? He joined Max's team with Helen and Manny, who, also, we know nothing about, and then we didn't really hear anything more about them. They went to Plumbers school. I dont even wanna talk about the Rooters arc rn, that's so far away from, like, an actual in depth character analysis to even mention. How did they grow up on Earth if they looked like that... How'd they meet Manny... That was covered?? In Omniverse?? I guess?? But whyd they stay together??

Oh my gosh Elena lets talk about Elena. Shes gotta have PTSD. Her body was taken over by nanites, she didn't even have a full sense of self by the end. She was creating these robots, then she went into the sewers, and eight or something months later shes in a gameshow for Ben's heart. What's up with that?? She has such a plot, a story line-- How'd she get her body back?

Then theres Alan. How long has Alan known he could turn into a alien. Who's his dad? Ok rooter arc stuff again but can we all agree that that retcon sucked?? What is Alan doing now? He was the same age as Ben when he first got his Omnitrix when we were introduced to him for the first time. And his last line was "i think my story is just beginning" like WHAT we were ROBBED

What's Cooper doing? Sunny? They introduce characters with so much interesting stuff going on in their lives or stories and then they never get to have a satisfying story line. Its not just the girls. Its really just background characters in general. They do a couple of things with Cash and JT too, but they never go anywhere--despite having some regular human high schooler dudes with a average redemption arc in play could be interesting in itself. And Jimmy! He's a kid detective! And he has one episode dedicated to it and then rarely shows up again!

I mean, look how many Anodite aus are on this site. Gwen isnt a love interest to anyone but Kevin-- and her, Sunny, and Verdona's experiences with being anodites have people so curious that you have countless headcanons loitering about the tag all the time. Anyway, all im saying is that various plot points are brought up and never seriously or fully explored to their full potential with both the men and women of Ben 10.

[flagonofdragons]

The idea of these 2 running a company is so funny.

[mtlupy]

My absolute least favorite part about the Ben 10 franchise is when they made the other Plumbers kids murder machines. I completely refuse to accept that trash as canon. Pierce deserves better.

Ben and Jen:Anti-heros

Ben and Jen both slowly awoke from a peaceful slumber. The twins had been camping out on the roofs of buildings, in the forest, and hotels with no trouble. The twins have been putting their powers to use in living a stable runaway life. Sometimes the twins would use their nana to put on shows, other times Ben would use his wealth tarot card on rich assholes, or the twins would sing in parks. And the twins would always help people less fortunate than them where ever they went.

Throughout all the running and anti-hero work Ben and Jen never once ran into Max, Gwen, or Sunny. However, that would all end today. Because across the street from the roof, Ben and Jen were on, Max, Gwen, and Sunny was parked. "Ben look," Jen said looking down, Ben moved beside Jen and looked down at Max. "Woof, he looks awful," Ben said taking note of Max's dark, sunken eyes, messy hair and clothes, and tired expression. "Wonder how Gwen and Sunny are?" Ben asked then Gwen and Sunny exited the store.

Gwen looked perfectly fine, aside from red puffy eyes, Sunny was a different story. Sunny's hair was tangled and matted, her clothes were wrinkled and dirty, her eyes were dark and sunken like Max's, her face was tear-stained, and she also held a tired expression. Ben and Jen shared a look and then nodded to each other.

Ben and Jen flew down and hid behind the RV and tossed small rocks at Sunny. When Sunny turned and saw the twins her eyes glowed brightly and she gained a wide smile. Sunny ran to Ben and Jen, hugging them tightly, "Oh my gosh, I'm so happy to see you two." she said. Ben hissed in pain but smiled and returned the hug, "Nice to see you too Sunny." Ben said and Jen was quick to break the hug. "Careful Sunny, Ben is hurt," she said, then a nearby truck exploded.

Ben, Jen, and Sunny looked and saw three people. All three were dressed in black leather and helmets that covered their faces. "Rojo!" Ben and Jen growled in anger.

"PAUSE"

"Hello, the narrator here to give background. When Ben and Jen meet Rojo and her gang when they first arrived at their current location. They all got along at first that is until Rojo decided to invite the twins on a heist, knowing what their powers could do. Everything was going perfectly until Jen had a little slip-up and cost them the heist.

Rojo and Jen got into a screaming match and Rojo pulled out her alien gun. Ben pushed Jen away and took the shot for her and was seriously hurt. Jen went crazy and destroyed the gang's hideout and took Ben to the hospital. Rojo swore she would make the twins pay, so yeah, the twins are not on good terms with Rojo."

"RESUME"

"You guys know them?" Sunny asked and Rojo turned to face them. "You!" Rojo growled and aimed her gun at them, "Fly!" Ben ordered and the three flew out of sight. "Ben, Jen!!" Max exclaimed when the twins flew past him. Ben and Jen paid Max no mind, they couldn't at the moment, Rojo kept shooting at them.

"I got this!" Gwen said and transformed into fourarms, and charged at Rojo and her gang. "Mind you business freak," Rojo said and sent her gang to deal with Gwen. "Sunny, help Gwen," Ben said then began throwing mana waves at Rojo. Sunny nodded, then took notice of the fact Jen had vanished. "One side!" Jen scored past Sunny with a giant war hammer.

Jen spun through the air toward Rojo, then she brought the hammer down. "AHHHH!!" Rojo was sent through the air and crashed into the convenience store Max was by. The impact broke the building and the ruble fell on Max. "GRANDPA!!" all four kids cried then drones came spring through the sky. The drones headed for Gwen, but Ben and Jen stopped them. "Get Grandpa to the hospital, it is down the street," Ben said smashing one of the drones. Gwen nodded and grabbed Max and Sunny followed and headed to the hospital.

Ben and Jen took care of the drones, and the police took care of Rojo and her gang. "What are these?" Jen asked picking up one of the busted drones. "Who knows, but they-" "AHHHH! " Jen's scream cut Ben off and he turned his head in shock. The drone gas some kind of cord latched onto Jen's neck. Red digital lines spread across Jen's neck and she began to change. Jen's skin turned red, and she grew in size, her clothes ripping and tearing and her pouch fell off. Jen's body also gained some weird red orbs and blades erupted from her skin, and her eyes turned red. "JEN!" Ben cried when Jen collapsed to the ground.

Jen ground and gripped her hair tightly as a voice filled her ears. "Listen to me whoever you are. My name is Vilgax, and you will assist me in retrieving the Omnitrix." the voice said viciously. "Ugh, well Vilgax, who do you think you are to tell me what to do," Jen asked her voice gaining gallons of venom. "Jen, who are you talking to?" Ben asked kneeling in front of Jen. "Fine, have it your way." Vilgax hissed and Jen began to get electrocuted and her mind went numb.

Everything stopped a few short minutes later and Jen collapsed in Ben's arms. "Jen!? Jen, are you ok?!" Ben asked while shaking Jen. Jen didn't make a sound but sat up and looked at Ben. "Jen?...." Ben asked, "Sorry, Jen isn't here right now," Jen said then grabbed Ben by the front of his hoodie and threw him to the side. 'BEN!' Jen cried from inside her mind, but she couldn't do anything.

Vilgax had taken full control of Jen's mind and body, and Jen didn't have access to her tarot cards because her pouch fell off. "Now, to get the Omnitrix!" Vilgax said and began to head for the hospital. Vilgax could hear Jen crying and protesting, it hurt him, but not that much.

"Ugh, my head." Ben groaned and sat up holding his head tightly. Ben opened his eyes, his vision was slightly blurry, and his head ached, but he didn't care. Ben walked over and grabbed Jen's pouch, he had to get her the strength tarot card, but first, he had to warn Gwen.

~~~~~~~~~

At the hospital, Gwen and Sunny sat waiting for Max to wake up. Neither one of them said a word since the doctor left the room and they both hoped the other would. The silence was killing them both and neither one wanted to be alone with their thoughts.

"Wonder how the twins are doing?" Sunny asked finally breaking the silence. Gwen was released but then became angered, "Why does it matter this is their fault." Gwen said crossing her arms. Sunny furrowed her brows, "Gwen, I'm sure Jen didn't mean for Rojo to fly into the building and hurt Grandpa." Sunny said, but that just upset Gwen more.

"That wouldn't have happened if they stayed out of the way."

"Rojo attacked them first."

"Then they did something to deserve it."

"WHY DO YOU HATE THEM!?'

"BECAUSE I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO BE THEM!!!"

Sunny gained a confused look and tears streamed down Gwen's face. Gwen huffed and ran into the hallway, Sunny followed, wanting answers. "Gwen?" Gwen stood facing out the window but it was easy to see she was becoming a mess. "I've always been envious of Ben and Jen," Gwen said turning to look at Sunny. Sunny came closer and nodded for Jen to carry on. Gwen sniffled and looked out the window, "Ben and Jen have always been, strong, brave, smart kids. No matter what they were faced with they saw the bright side and never gave up. I've always wanted to be like that, but I never was and I never will be." Gwen said and Sunny nodded.

"I always put so much effort into everything to overshadow the twins with my achievements. I thought it would make me feel better and put them down, and it worked. However, Ben and Jen still looked on the bright side and never give up. Then I got the watch and they got their powers. I just want to be happy for myself and enjoy who I am without having some kind of interior motive." Gwen said and fell to the floor in tears. Sunny pulled Gwen into a tight hug, she wasn't thinking that the things Gwen has done are okay, but she does think she needs a hug.

Gwen returned the hug, but Jen came crashing through the window. Gwen and Sunny jumped to their feet and stepped back, "Jen?" Sunny asked in shock. "Not exactly," Vilgax said and grabbed Sunny and threw her to the side. "AHHH!!" "What are you doing?" Gwen asked but Vilgax just chuckled and grabbed Gwen's arm ready to take the Omnitrix. " Ahh! Let me go!" Gwen cried then a mana blast flew past her head and hit Vilgax. A mana rope then wrapped around Gwen's waist, another around Sunny's, and the two girls have pulled out the window.

When Gwen and Sunny were let down they were met by Ben, "I'll explain on the way." Ben said and ran for cover. Gwen and Sunny followed and Ben explained what happened to Jen.

"Wait did you say Vilgax? I recognize that name." Sunny said and Ben stopped. Ben turned to face Sunny, "He is an evil overlord from Vilgaxia. He craves power and will not stop till he gets what he wants. That's what I've been told at least." Sunny said and Ben felt his stomach tighten. "We have to save Jen, and put this guy in his place," Ben said and headed for a wide open area.

Gwen and Sunny followed, "What are we gonna do?" Gwen asked hoping Ben had an actual plan. "We lure him to us and I put him in his place," Ben said and took to the sky. Sunny grabbed Gwen and followed, neither one had a good feeling.

~~~~~~~~~

Vilgax flee through the air in search of Gwen, but it was hard to focus. "Silence yourself!!" Vilgax orders, "Never, now let me go you freak!" Jen screamed hitting some kind of barrier. Vilgax growled and gripped his head tightly, "Shut up, shut up, SHUT UP!! I will NOT let go, not until I get the Omnitrix." Vilgax said and Jen growled.

"Why do you care about that watch so much?" Jen asked still attacking the barrier. "That watch is the most powerful device in the universe. With it, I will be unstoppable." Vilgax said and Jen began to laugh. "You are never getting your hands on the Omnitrix, not while Ben is still standing," Jen said, and now it was Vilgax's turn to laugh.

"Trust what I say Vilgax. When Ben gets his hands on you it's over." Jen said and right on cue, a mana blast struck. Vilgax growled and looked down, standing in the open area were Ben, Gwen, and Sunny. Vilgax didn't hesitate and flew down, his sights locked on Gwen. However, before Vilgax could reach her Ben came in with a mana-covered fist and gave a hard punch. Vilgax crashed to the ground and Ben trapped them in a large mana cube.

Vilgax stood and growled but Ben delivered another hard punch to the gut. Vilgax hit the way and realized he should have trusted Jen. "Ben, wait! It's me, I'm your sister. Please, Ben." Ben narrowed his eyes. Ben growled and his eyes began to glow bright, and so did his hair. "You are not my sister." been growled. Ben's hair began to defy gravity and the green glow in his eyes turned white. "You are just a power-crazy freak controlling her." Ben grabbed Vilgax and watched as Ben's skin began to tear and rip revealing inky black with green specs.

"AND I. WANT. HER. BAAAAAACK!!!"

The light became too bright and Ben's voice was loud and overpowering. Gwen and Sunny turned away unable to watch due to the light and had to cover their ears. Sunny even covering her ears heard a familiar cracking noise and knew what was about to happen. Sunny quickly grabbed Gwen and put a shield around them before it was too late.

~~~~~~~~~

Sunny slowly let the shield down and was met with a cloud of smoke that had a bright glow in it. "Sunny?" Gwen asked but Sunny didn't answer. The smoke began to clear and Sunny's jaw dropped along with Gwen's.

Ben stood with Jen held in his arms unconscious. Ben kicked at the pile of metal on the ground by his feet and growled. Ben turned to look at Gwen and Sunny, but they couldn't bring themselves to speak, they were too captivated by Ben. He looked so different, he looked like an alien.

Ben's hair glowed a bright white and green while also defying gravity, one of his eyes glowed whit and the other a bright green. Ben's skin began inky black, with green star-like specs and a green outline. Ben's clothes had been torn and shredded allowing Gwen and Sunny to see the slim but muscular build he had. The only thing that didn't change was Ben still had his and Jeb's pouches perfectly intact on his leg.

Ben hummed then flew away with Jen in his arms, and Gwen and Sunny sat motionless. "There is no way." Sunny whispered not believing this could be true. "Sunny?" Gwen asked, "There is no way the are half-celestialsapian." Sunny said and Gwen became even more confused.

~~~~~~~~~

Ben landed on the roof of a building and collapsed with Jen still in his arms. There was a bright flash and Ben was back to his human form and he was so tired. Ben groaned and looked at himself and Jen, their clothes were ruined. Ben even though exhausted picked Jen up and began to fly. Ben and Jen could cover hundreds of miles in one night when they flew, he would have them at Aunt vera's by morning, she could help.

Ben 10 AU, One of Everyone, Plumber kids

Some quick background/basic summary of the all the Earth Plumber kids in my AU 

All the ages are accurate for the first episode of Alien Force.

Rooters arc retcon? Never heard of her.

 

Alan Albright-

10 years old half Human half Pyronite.

His father, Solios, is a Pyronite Plumber who met and fell in love with a human called Ayah Albright, while on a mission on Earth, and ended up marrying her and moving to her planet. While they were happily married, they had one problem, they wanted to give life to a baby of their own, which wasn't physically possible with how differently their species reproduce, plus the whole being literal fire and not being fireproof thing going on, so having a biological child just wasn't an option for them… at least not naturally.

There are labs that are advanced enough to allow for 2 different DNA samples from 2 different species, that otherwise wouldn't be able to, to combine and eventually create a child. These labs are still very rare and incredibly hard to access and the couple only managed it thanks to Solios' rank as a Proctor in the Plumbers and having some connections. And thanks to it, they had Alan.

Alan at first seemed to be fully human, like his mother, with only his higher than usual body temperature and resistance to high temperatures giving away his Pyronite lineage. That, however, changed shortly after Alan turned 10, and his Pyronite form manifested and he accidently set his bed on fire while he slept. Unfortunately, his father happened to be away on a rather long mission at the time (which ended up being related to the Highbreed), and while they did make video calls and his mother was still there with him, they couldn't really help with his powers until Solion returned home.

It didn't help things when the local sheriff found out about Alan's powers, after an incident involving said powers, and started watching the boy like a hawk for any sign of trouble. Solios tried his best to get home as soon as possible because his boy needed him, but it would still take a while because he couldn't just get up and leave his team all by themselves. Then the whole DNAlien thing started happening and the Sheriff just kept blaming Alan for all the incidents, despite Ayah proving that he wasn't responsible over and over again.

Things do start to turn around for them when Alan meets Ben. Not only does he help solve the whole fire issue caused by the DNAliens, but he also ended up helping Alan with his powers, even visiting Alan after their first meeting to help him better control said powers. Ben turned out to be a blessing in that department, since not only does he have experience being a Pyronite, but he also knows what it's like being completely human until the age of 10 and then suddenly getting dangerous powers you have no idea how to control.

Alan looks up to Ben as if he were his older brother, and Alan's parents also really like him and are grateful for his help with Alan and his powers when Alan's father wasn't there yet. When he does return though, he returns the favour by teaching Ben some new tricks too.

Pierce and Helen wheels-

Pierce: 17 year old half Human half unknown porcupine-like alien.

Helen: 14 year old half Human half Kineceleran.

Half siblings who share a human mother who is a Plumber. Amara Wheels wasn't the most careful in her youth, jumping from one guy to the next, be it human or not, until eventually she met this Kineceleran named Heskin. She at first treated him like her usual affair before she ended up genuinely falling for him, wanting to have something more serious with him. 

Unfortunately, it seems her luck ran out with her last fling, and she got pregnant, and while her ex was going to pay child support, he wasn't going to do anything else. She was more scared of what Heskin would do or say then she was of anything else, because she doesn't want him to leave her, but he actually took it well and not only did he support her, he also took care of her son like he was his own from even before they were married, which they did eventually do before having a daughter together.

The 2 siblings grew up on Earth with their father being the one to mainly take care of them, being a stay at home dad, while their mother was away a lot for her job as a Plumber Agent but Amara always made sure to make time for her family. So the kids had quite a good life growing up, unfortunately, they still weren't fully human, meaning they couldn't really make friends with the other kids, despite still going to school by using ID masks, since they couldn't reveal their identities and fully open up. As a result they grew very close with each other insted. 

Fortunately for them, one day, due to an intergalactic war going on, a family of Gimlinopithecus (Shocksquatch) researchers got stuck on Earth and were staying with them until they could leave, allowing the siblings and said family's son, Zitanti, to bond and become friends. Zitanti eventually also met Ben Tennyson, through an accident involving an out of control machine and a gun, and the siblings became friends with him and his friend, another Plumber kid called Elena Validus. Pierce and Helen became very close with those 2 even after Zitanti and his family eventually left.

The siblings were happy to finally have some friends, but at the fear of losing them, when they found out about the DNAliens they ended up keeping a secret from them them, something they actually kept a secret from their parents too, since their mother was away on a mission (also Highbreed related) and they didn't want to worry them and thinking they could handle it, not realizing just how big this entire thing was. During their secret mission though, they eventually met Manny Armstrong, who joined them in their fight against the DNAliens.

Manny Armstrong-

16 year old half Human half Tetramand.

Manny's father, Dante Armstrong was a human who lived for fighting since he was young and even joined the military before joining the Plumbers, so it came as no surprise when he fell in love on the battlefield with a female Tetramand Plumber called Belia. He even challenged her to combat to win her hand in marriage, which, to both of their delight, he won, and the two were happily married and even had a son together.

Their happy life didn't last long however, as Manny's mother was killed in the line of duty when Manny himself was only a baby, a fact his father didn't take well at all. He blamed himself and threw himself into his work to assure this never happens again, which, combined with the fact that simply looking at Manny reminded him too much of his now dead wife, led to him completely neglecting his son.

That led to Manny having a very lonely childhood, and even though he went to school with an ID mask, he had a hard time connecting with other kids, and it didn't help that when his ID mask fell off once in a game, all the kids called him a freak and started bullying him. Not wanting to be treated like that, and thinking this might make his father pay attention to him, he started training to get stronger, to be better, he even started fights with anyone he could, which got him into a lot of trouble and had his dad yell at him a lot but at least now he was acknowledging him.

So Manny continued on fighting everyone including his father and he stopped going to school when he was about to start high school and his dad just gave up on that. At one point, when he was out one night, he came across some DNAliens and fought them off. Realizing this is something big, he decided to tackle this problem to prove his worth, and on one night of fighting them, he met Helen and Pierce Wheels.

Meeting the siblings was the best thing to happen to Manny. Not only does he finally have friends who actually care about him, who want to hang out with him even outside their mission, but he is also the most skilled out of them in combat, since he has been training for years while the siblings never bothered until now. So not only does he finally have people who genuinely want him around, but he also feels useful to them.

It does go downhill for Manny when meeting Ben, because being the strongest was his thing, but Ben is the strongest one, and Manny doesn't know how to deal with it so he refuses to acknowledge it while being snarky and snappy with him. He tries to hide most of negative feelings towards Ben though, since he knows how much he means to Helen and Pierce and the other kids whom he also ends up liking and befriending.

Cooper Daniels-

15 year old mutant Human.

Similar to the Tennyson cousins, Cooper's grandfather is also a retired Plumber like Max, but unlike Max, he did decide to tell his family about his job, so Cooper's mother, Jade Daniels, and Cooper himself knew about the Plumbers and aliens since they were young. Which was especially a good thing when Cooper's powers started manifesting.

Cooper's family actually has no alien heritage, they are all fully human, meaning Cooper's powers are a result of a mutation of some sort, the cause of which is unknown, but his grandfather is trying to research it.

Because of these powers, Cooper always felt more connected to machinery than to people, and at school he could just never make any friends, and was even bullied a lot, which made Cooper turn towards the machines even more, becoming a shut in with very little human interactions. His parents kept trying to help him socialize, but to no avail.

One day, when Cooper was 10, his grandfather invited his friend Max over, to talk about something Max proposed to him over the phone, and when Cooper's parents realized that Max would be bringing 2 of his grandchildren, who are the same age as Cooper, along, they wanted Cooper to meet them and went over as well. Cooper wasn't that thrilled about it, but he soon became curious about Ben's watch, since he has never sensed tech like it before.

That day ended up… being filled with a lot of excitement, with Cooper helping out, but at the end of it he became friends with both of the cousins, who kept visiting him often after that summer, mainly by Ben since Gwen was the busier of the 2. That didn't stop him from developing a crush on her, or atleast what he thought was a crush, even though it was only admiration and respect.

Elena Validus-

16 year old Human.

The only normal fully human child out of the Plumber's kids from Earth. Her father, Victor Validus, was a very respected and talented researcher, who mostly did his work in his laboratory that was situated on Earth. Since Elena's mother died during childbirth, Elena spent most of her childhood in her father's lab, learning all about alien tech and science and becoming an expert in it in the process.

Since her father was busy with his job a lot, Elena tried getting into all kinds of clubs and doing many hobbies in order to make herself some friends to be less lonely, though it didn't really work out, that is until she tried entering her middle school's soccer team when she was 12. The team at first rejected her, but one of the newer members, Ben Tennyson, ended up convincing them to give her a chance. The 2 ended up chatting afterwards and they quickly realized that they were both related to Plumbers.

They continued hanging out and became close friends, and Elena's only friend at first, but she ended up befriending Gwen Tennyson, Ben's cousin, and Pierce and Helen Wheels after Ben introduced her to them. She also ended up going to the same Highschool that Gwen will eventually go to, since she wanted to follow in her father's footsteps. Elena, while being an athletic fighter, is more of a researcher and helps her friend group out with alien related science from behind the scenes.

Things went south for her when her father was tasked with researching some new strange alien nanochips that were found on a trespassing ship, right around when she graduated early from highschool and was preparing to head to the Plumbers Academy. The whole situation went south very fast and her father ended up dying by the end it all.

After the incident she succumbed to her grief and went off to the Academy without keeping contact with anyone. No one heard from her until about half a year later when she suddenly returned asking for help…

Love the art. Can't wait to see your version of the Plumbers' Kids (and Kevin's transformation), but it got me thinking. I know you retconned the Rooter retcon, in that they're not genetically modified hybrids, but how did they come to be?

It's hard to imagine an osmosian and a human creating an offspring considering they're completely different species, let alone a tetramand or a pyronite.

I have a whole system behind hybrids in Ben 10. For starters, quite a few aliens can have kids with each other naturally if they are close enough. So a tetramand and human, or even a kineceleran and human, can have kids, they just often have to be wary of issues that could arise. But the more unnatural a pairing is, the harder to have a kid is naturally, to the point that you get cases where they can't have a kid naturally. But there are many facilities that help via science to help parents have kids if they can't naturally. This is often taking the parents gamete cells, and raising the baby in a test tube like environment so they can control the entire process from the start, sometimes having to select specific genes to make sure the kid can live a healthy life. One of the most successful facilities is on Galvan Prime, run by a galvan doctor named Doctor Geno, she's a friend of Azmuth's sister. Of course there are limits to what aliens can have kids with each other, but as science grows each day, some things that were thought to be impossible have become possible, so you never know what could be made next. Hybrids also seem to function a 70/30 percent rule, in that they take after one species gene more than the other. E.g Helen is more kineceleran than human. Hybrids can only be two things as well, you can't get a big mix of many aliens in one alien. Though there are some that break these rules, like anodites and osmosians due to how their genetics work. So in terms of the plumber kids, ones like Helen and Manny were naturally made, though Alan was made via the science route when his parents went to one of these facilities. In terms of Kevin, since you mentioned osmosians, they behave more by inheriting powers. Due to osmosian having DNA absorption, it means a lot of them are able to have kids with many races, but their hybrids don't look like them. They will always look like the alien species their other parent is, beyond maybe getting minor things like eye or hair colour. What the kids inherit is the matter and energy absorption powers, though not really the DNA absorption (unless the omnitrix is involved lol). So they're kind of a changeling vibe with them. So Kevin looks entirely human, but as a hybrid as the powers.
