Description
I drew Manny and Helen already so I thought I might as well get to finally drawing Alan. That and I really needed to drawing something Ben 10 related that wasn't the omniverse counterparts I've been making lately. So here's the newly designed Alan Albright.For his design I wanted a more hybrid look of human and pyronite instead of being a straight copy of Heatblast. So only parts of him are fire and rock and the human part of him is darkened to appear as being burnt. His clothes are similarly made to the ones his teammates wear in that they stand up to the wear and tear they themselves might make to normal clothes, so Alan's are fireproof til they reach supernova levels of heat.

Ya know...you two redesigning the Helpers, I had thought of giving an excuse to help them with their human/alien hybridzation.
Basically...I did say that they were BORN half-alien, but with how they were born, their dNA never fully...meshed well together due to how they got put into the egg by the Rooter higher ups to make aien/human hybrids from the Plumber parens and their human surrogant others. Thus why some of them didn't look all that...natural-looking compared to others of their species or show any real 'human' attributes. Basically the alien over-written some of te human DNA. 
The helpers get their alien DNA 'turned off' by Dr. Animo with an anti-OMnitrix weapon he was developing and it resulted in them becoming powerless since their alien DNA is ni it. BUT at the end, they regain their powers but their DNAs finally mix evenly, making them look like actual hybrids and not just, well...regular aliens

I don't know. The whole thing still seems very coincidential from my POV. I mean according to Alien Force, there was a few plumbers who happened to be in relationships with aliens and they had hybrid kids with alien forms and these forms were of aliens that Ben first had access to for his omnitrix and these particular hybrids years later would meet up with Ben and help him out.
This is why I like the OV version of their origin with them being human kids until Servantis changed them with Kevin's help. I'd like to think that Servantis found aliens in the Null Void that Ben had access to and used those ones to change the kids into so that Ben might trust them a bit more since he's been the aliens that they are. Plus it's not a stretch to believe that these aliens could be in the Null Void since it is a dimension that imprisons hundreds of different aliens.
I do like the idea of the Plumber Kids getting changed into human, it would be fun to see what they look like and how their new appearance blends more human aspects into their design.

Though if I go with Servantis being human originally...maybe he decided making hybrids in a style ala X-21 would be easier as his mutation was VERY painful and likely not good for masses
So after the disbandment of the alien plumbers faction, he started a project called 'Project Amalgam" that had made human/alien hybrid sleeper agents, using human and humanoid alien DNA and gave the infants to the surrogant alien parent so they can learn how to use their powers.

Do you mean X-23 ?
If so, that is a good, dramatic way to go. Almost reminds me of the Ultimen from Justice League Unlimited. They thought they were superheroes with families they haven't seen in a while but it turned out they were clones grown in an accelerated amount of time. This could provide a really heartbreaking moment where the Amalgam Kids want to know what's really going on and they don't know what's real in their pasts and what Servantis manipulated. He just tells them that they were made for one purpose and that purpose is to fight Ben Tennyson.

Yeah.
Technically they were aged to toddlers so that their adopted/surrogate parents can train them, but their aging was slowed down until they naturally hit that age,thus their bodies catch up. But after the alien parents died, he had to go full manipulator by using Human Rooters as their adopted parents. Though in cases like Alan, the parents started to genuinely love the kid which made it harder to get too. (HEll, I'm thinking that maybe the person he thought was his father was actually the brother of the donor/'birth father' who died against Eon. Thus how he got him
UNTIL Manny, Pierce and Helen started to drop off other Plumber Kids when they think they were DNAliens XP Thus giving him his super soldiers giftwrapped
BUT yeah...they thought they had known their real families but in reality they're testtube babies.
Servantis: Osmosians, Anodites and Kraaho are...close enough to humans that they can natrually create children as a similar ancestry in the Osmosian's case, a similar physiology to primates to the Kraaho and the natrual magical energy of the Anodites all allow them to procreate with humans natrually. All of you are hybrids from four-armed creatures, reptilian humanoids and fire-based life forms. Do you think that is a natrual occurance?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Now when you say they dropped off other plumber kids, do you have anyone specific in mind ?
Now that is a real harsh truth Servantis is telling.
(Are Osmosians aliens here or sub species human mutants like in OV ?)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ben said that some were Plumber Kids...and maybe the ones who were are the Pissicus Vorlon/the Ripjaws, the Vulpimancer and the Galvanic Mechamorph (as an Ectonurite Plumber Kid...taht is is harsh)
And yes, Osmosians are aliens...BUT thousands of years ago, they were genetically-modified ancient humans that evolved seperetly from mankind on Osmos V, which is really an old lab planet where an ancient race once did experiments before they died out and the experiments took over.

I don't know, with the Plumber Kids, you could make the argument that they look humanoid enough to not need changes as Hybrids but I can't really believe those other ones could be Amalgams.
Hmm, I thought so. Personally I don't like human looking aliens. Your explanation is an exception but I think doing those shows that artists lack imagination. I mean even with Kwarrel, you get rid of the pointy ears and grey skin, he looks like a normal human.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
But human-like aliens can potentially blend right in with everyday people and be silent invaders.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well I'm not looking at it from a story stand point, I'm looking at it from a logical standpoint, how is it possible that so many aliens throughout the whole universe that come from vastly different planets than Earth have aliens that look nearly identical to humans or look humanoid but have a strange skin color like blue or green ?
I can buy 1 or 2 human looking aliens but when many of them start looking that way, I start to have a problem.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think I only remember Eon and Aggregor to be the human-like aliens off of the top of my head ;;
Sludge puppies and Anodites can look human but that's a power thing ;;
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well there's Antonio, Serena and Bellicus(human looking faces), The Red and Blue Leaders, Probity, The Vreedle Brothers (add a nose and they look entirely human), Attea (nose thing again), Kwarrel, Brannigan, Collectimus, Watt-Senn, Morgg, Magister Coronach, Quince, Trukk, Magister Hulka, and Benevelon.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
good points there...but in the Vreedle case they are artifical (given they are clones and all...and their parents were made by scientists)
And Serena, Bellicus, Collectimus and that guy from the game show could be trying to do soething where they look humanoid to make sure no one goes crazy seeing them. (You know..a 'mortal mind can't comprehend the true form' kinda deal...maybe. NOT 100% sure but tha's how it is in sci-fi). And Benevelon could be using a formt hat would make humans trust him at first.
But yeah...the others do look really human-like. (Speaking of Probity, she appears in the Court episode as someone that the accuser uses to make Ben ook bad...but Frank does point out the ones at fault are realy the leaders since they caused all the probems ni the first place.)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah but even Ma Vreedle is sporting an almost human look and she's not a clone.
I might believe that with serena, bellicus, and benevelon but Collectimus and Charles Zenith have no reason to try and look human. Collectors like Collectimus rarely care about their look unless they're sporting whatever it is they're interested in and looks are important to game show hosts so I don't see Charles changing his look all that much.
Can you tell me which episode that is ?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
My take on the Chadzmuth episode. But instead of remaking the universe, he's hired to bring Ben to court against the universe with Uncle Frank to defend Ben and his team.
Basically he helps Ben and his daughter out against some people who may not like him and take him to galactic court. Though he is brought in by breaking the pact that no Celestialsapien can make contact with Paradox the Time Walker

Gotcha.
So far the guy who helped with it had the idea that Manny and Helen are theo nes that are fully changed human since they are stuck as aliens while Alan can turn into human form at will...BUT I amt hinking that when he was hit wtih the aftermath of the burst, he got a more...human-like pyronite form
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Dude! I just thought of a twist! What if with the idea you pitched of the Amalgam Kids being created by Servantis through cloning methods of combining human and alien DNA, that the human donors were the Rooters themselves. Servantis for Helen, Swift for Manny, and Leander for Alan ? All premutation, of course. That way, there's even more conflict with the Amalgams discovering their origins.
That makes sense. Alan was always in more control of his alien form so this wouldn't affect him as much. That human pyronite look is a good direction to go in.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's more confusing than the canon. I'm trying to say that the infants were made because fusing DNA with someone like a fully matured or still developing person with DNA can potentially KILL someone. ;; trying something different from your Brotherhood group, who can get away with the multiple deaths as they're not part of a peacekeeping group of space cops.
What I am saying is this; In Resurrection the Rooter arc's master plan (With meshing human and alien DNA via technology) makes sense as they can jut get test subjects and if they die, they can just get rid of thebodies. But since the ROoters are TECHNICALLY aprt of the Plumbers, a group of peacekeepers that are meant to protect life in the galaxies they are sworn to protect, the paper trail would be WAY too long if people are seeing a noticeable increase in runaway abductions that fit the same MO.

Whoops, I guess that a combination of responding to different comments, being up late, and misunderstanding different canons has made me a little incoherent.
What I meant to say suggest was altering the OV origin of the Amalgam Kids. We've never seen their parents and parts of their history keep changing so I thought I'd bring in an idea that connects the Kids to the Rooters. In canon, the Rooters take a random set of kids into the Null Void and recruit them and that didn't seem to make much sense to me. So in my take on it, The Kids are the actual children of the Rooters except for Pierce who's the grandson of Phil. They lived onsite at a Plumbers HQ and are secretly brought into the Rooters for the sole purpose of destroying the omnitrix without anyone connecting them to the Rooters. Servantis tells them that ever since Ben got the omnitrix, alien threats have been on the rise and when Ben has gotten more powerful, the bigger the threats become. Servantis explains that Ben is unintentionally drawing supervillains and warlords to earth in search of the omnitrix, so it must go. The Kids are mutated into their hybrid forms and trained in covert combat. They are eventually thrown outside of the Null Void to go on their mission. It is a failure and the Plumbers are starting to connect the dots. To save themselves, Servantis alters everyone's memories and the kids are put back with their other parents but remember things a little differently.
Helen thinks her dad was a Kineceleran, not the leader of the Rooters
Manny thinks his mom was a Tetramand, not an Aerophibian hybrid
Alan thinks his dad was a Pyronite, not Prypiatoisian-B hybrid
This also presents a problem for when they gain back their memories. The Rooters may have given them fake memories and sent them away to live a false life but these people are still their parents so they're conflicted in letting Ben and the others fight them.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
So wait...SERVANTIS Is Helen's dad? That'd be neat connection ;; Maybe the Kincerlian was someone he saw as a brother and thuswhy he volunteered? Though SWift looked to be about their age, SO..there is that
Plus as I said, he made them and are thus more 'Rooter Kids' than 'Plumber Kids'. And thus maybe they see him as 'Uncle Serv' when they had their memories still
MAYBE Leander is really Manny's dad...just given the Dr. Manhattan treament, thus becoming a being fo energy after a freak accident with an alien weapon
But yeah, they do start to remember that te ohter Plumber Kids, who are allied with Servantis, were their friends at one point so that's where the conflict of interest arrises for Manny, Helen and Alan; chose between their old friends or their new. (though the other kids don't old itagainst them since they didn't remember each other). So your conflict of interest is still there, as the ROoters were their 'family' at one point but in a different way. Their parents were Rooters, so thus they owe their lives to Servantis.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yup.
Though I'm having the kids raised by only by the Rooters' spouses and not any aliens. That 1 parent, 1 alien dynamic would only serve to make the kids rebel right from the start stating that they have parents and the Rooter's aren't them.
The explanation to Swift looking as young as the teens, she was in her twenties when she was changed into an Aerophibian and those guys live for a very long time. Swift inherited their slow aging, so she looks the same as she was when she was first transformed. In theory, she might live to be 570.
So with that "Uncle Serv" angle, is that the false memories or the real ones ?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Kinda both. They called him 'sir' in the real memories, but he adjusted them so he doesn't look as bad.
Plus their foster families are the families they knew with the false memories. Their real parents (the DNA sources) got wiped out by Eon when he went to get them but after the Rooters held him off, Paradox was able to get him out. But knowing that Chronians are an extinct race, Servantis kept the Amalgams around and trained them till the higher ups got suspicious, so he sent the amalgams with foster families with fake memories of their original 10-11 years of life.
Of course they are morally iffy with attacking Ben since his grandpa was a mentor but maybe Phil plays the family card on Helen and Leander does the same for Manny? ;;
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah ok.
Sounds plausible for their history.
Well, the family card barely has to be played, Ben actually takes things a little too far with how he attacks the Rooters (like he did in Weapon XI with Alien X) and Servantis takes advantage of this display to get them to attack Ben to protect their family. This time around they aren't out to kill Ben, only defeat him and destroy the omnitrix.
Also one more change I'm doing with the Rooters. "The Coming Storm" no longer refers to Ben and the kind of destruction he can cause with wielding such a device at a young age. It now refers to the escalating force of aliens that will come to Earth in the future seeking to obtain the omnitrix. The Coming Storm is a future invasion force theorized by Servantis of consisting of every intergalactic threat and armies Ben has ever faced descending upon Earth and blacking out the skies with the sheer number of them. These forces will come to Earth to kill Ben or collect the Omnitrix. Ben may be able to defeat them all in the end but the collateral damage to the whole world will be devastating. In a twisted way, Servantis is trying to save humanity by disabling one of its greatest heroes.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That works. And maybe he molded Kevin to be a tad more noble after Kwarrel's death? You know...taught him that his petty mindset will just get him to lose and whatnot. So ironically, Servantis in a way made Kevin 11 a hero...yes it was so he can get closer to take him out, BUT like in OV, he didn't take into avcount that the friendship will become genuine"
Heck, he can also use that mindset to remind Kevin who helped him when he needed it most and what not. So thus he and the Plumber Kids go to help.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well I don't know about that. I think that makes Servantis more heroic than he deserves. An alternate way of taking this is to make Servantis something of a veteran cop or long time soldier teaching Kevin that sometimes he must do questionable things and make tough calls for the better good. Like a necessary evil.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That is hat I mean. BUT Kevin's mindset with that, since meeting KWarrel and ilkely having Labrid sacrafice himself for him, may have it hat being a little ore selflss can help out too.
So yeah...THREE people effecting his world view from when he was a kid...that would have an effect on himas he is getting older
Hre's what IMean with Labrid; when Labrid and him first met and him teaming upwtih Ben and GWen, he was just doing it at first because he had a score to settle with the DNAliens and the FOrever Knights for snipping him from his pay and was basically their prisoner at first.But when Labrid sacraficed himself to save Kevin, he was reminded of Kwarrel and saw that a regular-every cop, am an who's liekly seen as many things if not more than Servantis, just sacraficed his own life to save his sorry life. I think that could have impacted him in some way since, when he was a kid, he felt that everyone deserved what he was giving them 'because they hadn't gotten a chance to make fun of me' yet...that was a kid lashing out at the world but he willingly saved him, prisoner or not. Labrid could have easily let him die, but instead took an injury that became fatal quickly for him. Since he's of somewhat more sound mind than hwen he was a kid, THAT likely has an effect on him (And htus why he may be kinda protective of the badge Labrid left behind and why he didn't want Gihil to take it...he likely felt like it reminds him of WHY he is still helpin the first place...not just because someone who was likely his dad'sally when he was around, but also someone who sacrificed his life for him. THAT may mean a lot to a guy who doesn't really have anyone to connect to growing up)
At least that's how I would interprit it...and also the reason why he's on the wire with good or evil; it's because he is teaming up with people who used o be hsi enemies but is technically STILL under their eyes because of what had happened (Since it was HIS weapons that roke Labrid's suit after ti exploded (I think it was already punctured but no one noticed until after they won))
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Maybe, but Servantis' methods would counteract against what Kwarrel taught and what Labrid did. He did teach Kevin to make questionable calls on things but this is stuff that many would call monstrous for him doing it.
See, I think that the sacrifice would have a bigger impact if they knew each other for more than a few hours. I mean it's an admirable thing that Labrid did, but I wonder how Kevin was suppose to feel about it. He never knew the guy for very long or anything specific about him except for his name and title. '
I just really wish they could of pushed this back and not made Kevin a friend right off the bat. If there's a way to make a transition from bad guy to good guy, Zuko from Avatar is the way to go. He's a villain with a motivation that you can see as not entirely villainous and he has moments of being a good guy. Plus he's got a mentor that tries to help him even though he'll angrily tell him to back off. That's one thing that I can't buy about Kwarrel. There was no pushback from Kevin in trying to help him and if you know 11 year old Kevin, you know that he'll try to smash you for saying the wrong thing to him. So going back to Zuko, first he was an enemy, then he became a neutral party, then tried to become a hero with the main group and this took an entire series to make work. That's the way to do it

I gotcha. I did feel that we only saw snidbits. It took till Morningstar's appearance till I think they started to act like friends. SINCe in the episode prior he did sell the Rust Bucket, so that could have put a damper on things. Even if it was to get intel.
Honestly I think if the show did better with sowing a progression of time it would have helped A LOT...you know, give us an idea on how long Ben, Gwen and Kevin were a team. ;; All we saw were them getting involved with Highbreed ACtivity...I think they spent so much time focusing on the main plot that the little details like hwo Kevin started slowly turning more on the side of good was kinda hurt by it.
Thus why I want to expand on what happened with Kevin as a kid
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think it still takes more time, I mean that was, what, the fourth episode ?
Yeah, too bad they didn't have something like a Young Justice time stamp during their episodes. With something added, like a countdown to the Highbreed Invasion.
Argit could help, but not even Ben (who's a better good guy than Argit) couldn't reach Kevin. Maybe Argit uses his quick wit to try and sway Kevin from his more violent ways. Like things would be of more use to them if they weren't smashed or burned.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's how I was thinking with Argit. You know...he uses his conman mindset as a way to make sure his 'muscle' as he saw Kevin as didn't kill their costumers if he got mad at them. This would go overtime where Kevin mellowed out enough that he can think business. Basically...ARgit, Kwarrel and Servantis basically helped with his temper in different ways. (Kwarrel by teaching him how to control his anger, Servantis by teaching him how to direct it and ARgit by making sure he knew when not to blow a gasket...so yeah, about 5 years of three differentp eople basicall telling him to keep a cool ahead could help with that.)
Also...wtih what you said with Servantis and Labrid...I think maybe Labrid savig him from the exploding gun cuold make him rethinkin on what Servantis said about 'doing what you can doto get ahead' mindset isn't always accurate since Servantis would likely be on the mindset of 'Don't trust anyone' can be changed since while he was a prisoner, Labrid didn't want him dead. Could remind him of stories of his dad (I think his mom could have told him he was a good man and may have fudged some details to make sure he didn't know about the Plumbers but when hegot older he put two and two together
AND I thouht of a way to make his teaming up with Gwen and BEn work; It started out as him just doing business. After all, the DNAliens did still owe him money and he had tips and what not that helped htem out. AND since Labrid basically cuffed him, they are basically his parole officers after Labrid died...and it's not like he can get away that easily. I think they would know how to find him with Gwen's tracking powers.
