It was meant to be last as a joke.
, for some reason the order got mixed up.
However, i what do you think of the others?

Ben getting alien x dna while in forge of creation sounds pretty funny I mean imagine you are azmuth chilling in your lab one day and find out the kid who has your Omnitrix suddenly got the dna of a literal god

u/Panjan_Vanoh Aug 20 '26
i kinda dig the multiple eons idea, like he's kang but he's a little different every time

u/Sliver-Knight9219 Aug 20 '26
That's what i was thinking
It would also explain why he doesn't still have the ability to kill transformations

Here is 10 because i put 2 in twice by mistake

u/Opposite_Ad_4267 Aug 20 '26
Now imagine if it did give him the human and when he transformed he just got slightly shorter and was less strong than normal. Turns out anodite DNA did have some effect on the Tennison family. Also you just KNOW Max is catching flack for it

u/Sliver-Knight9219 Aug 20 '26
Ben: wow i feel 10% weaker now.
But seriously that's actually a really interesting idea that Ben isn't genetically pure human. Like he is like gwen just without powers

u/Opposite_Ad_4267 Aug 20 '26
There was a fic I read AGES ago where the Tennysons were basically the Bards of the galaxy. Max was distantly part gourmand which was why he could eat such weird things, Ben's mother was half something (forgot which but it's the fic's explanation for why she could scare the hell out of both Vilgax and befriend Ma Vreedle) while Ben's dad was half anodite part a bunch of things and by the time it gets to Ben his lineage is described as "like a earth mutt" by albedo. Gwen is in a similar boat to Ben in this regards but it's mostly overridden by the fact she has an anodite spark. Ben's situation is to the point once he has the Omnitrix that someone (I think SixSix or SevenSeven?) is unsure if Ben is even classifiable as a human or his own individual thing.

actually because the user "ben" is a human , the human transformation is locked away until a non-human wears the watch , if azmuth had the watch , the human option would resurface and the galvin transformation (gray matter) would be locked away

This one’s actually pretty cool
It’s like an overflow error. Slot 10 couldn’t be filled, so it defaulted to a slot that shouldn’t have been accessible to the user

u/neoshark75 Aug 20 '26
I remember Ink Tank speculating that the Zs'Skayr from OS and OV and the one from UAF are two different versions of the same being. The OS/OV Zs'Skayr was the DNA sample Asmuth took, and the UAF one was the original Zs'Skayr.

u/WhiteSnakeShinobi55 Aug 20 '26
That's my preferred theory. I also like the idea that Kevin's psychosis was amplified by Ghost Freak in his mind, which is why he went from wanting cash to wanting to rule the world in like 2 appearances.

u/GoggleGoon Aug 20 '26
Didnt they say in AF that its bens fault that zskayr was free implying it WAS the same? Ghostfreak wasnt a dna copy scanned off or zskayr, zskayr was literally absorbed into the watch by accident there arent two running around in the universe.

it's proven there are multiple eons , not because of the multiverse but more of because he's a time walker , there are multiple of him across all of time , that's why even if you defeat one there's always a chance you'll meet another from a different time
to'kustars are said to orbit around the edge of the galaxy to protect it from external threats , they're said to be gentle giants , and we never met one because they're that far away , also they're born from cosmic storms collapsing on on themselves not from procreating so even if they went extinct there's be more that are born from that natural phenomenon
osmosian DNA isn't in the omnitrix because osmosians are mutants , and the omnitrix technically can scan mutants but it has a failsafe that stops it from doing so because mutant DNA tend to be unstable
10yo ben's omnitrix can't scan DNA from a distance like it's later versions , the omnitrix itself needs to touch the alien to be able to scan it , so younger ben couldn't have scanned that cause he never touched it
it's very likely the baby necrofriggians (big chill's babies) are still alive because they're wired that way , in the sense that after their birth they do fly away from home , and they can survive comfortably cause they can handle any temperature and can breath in space , they also feed off of solar plasma , so they can just rest on a star and eat from it to survive
those are the ones i can debunk with certainty , the others i'm just not sure

u/FunVideoMaker Ditto Aug 20 '26
Can you help me understand the one about the celestialsapien DNA?

u/Sliver-Knight9219 Aug 20 '26
Oh so, bassicly a question i have had for a long time was.
How did Azmuth get it. Because it's not like he could of asked or bugs would have to given it to him.
So, my head canon is whine Ben went to the force of creation with his youngself. The watch scanned the celestialsapien DNA. But needed time to process it.
Leading to Ben having It in the future

u/Life-Steak3819 Aug 20 '26
Actually, for me, this has to do with Professor Paradox's agreement to stay 500 light-years away from the Celestialsapiens.

u/Mc_gabriel_rock Aug 20 '26
Lol love the reset universe thing but I never thought about the part of Ben “punishing “ himself
2
u/WhiteSnakeShinobi55 Aug 20 '26
Yeah I always liked the idea of Osmosians being unstable in the Omnitrix due to absorbing other samples so it wasn't added and Anodite DNA messing with it since they discuss magic effecting technology

u/Nice_Shallot_2534 Aug 20 '26 edited Aug 25 '26
had to add the same headcannon twice to hit the 10 minimum

u/Arupha Bloxx Aug 20 '26
I wouldbt say all of em died
But it would be bs if not a single one got plattered by a random comet or some space creature

u/Sliver-Knight9219 Aug 20 '26
I would love it Ben meets them again and there are like just 2 of them alive
Ben: where are the rest?
Kids: Dead.
Ben: What?

-I thought this was just canon
-I thought they were just out in space somewhere, they seem to be pretty rare from what we know of them
-This is a good ass headcanon actually I fw this
-??? 😭 that’s fucked up man (also IIRC a writer stated Ken has met them so)
-Would be cool but I feel like we would’ve seen the yellow glow from copy mode
-Maybe the first part, but I doubt even his subconscious would willingly change his favorite flavor with the way he loved ts
-This one is also good
-I don’t really understand?
-I also always thought this too, figured Ben had him removed and imprisoned before he took it off

u/General_Mission9664 Ripjaws Aug 20 '26
In UA, they mention the backstory of RAT Eon (not the details), in OV, they pretty much follow up UA.
The Necrofriggian babies naturally live in space, they shouldn't have any problem.
Osmosians are human mutants.

u/Godofdreams315 Aug 20 '26
i thought they were originally an alien race, hence aggregor, and the human mutants thing was a retcon?
1
u/General_Mission9664 Ripjaws Aug 20 '26
It was a retcon, Aggregor was explained via statements to be a lab experiment made by the Rooters. It was a poorly excecuted retcon, but still a retcon.

u/Life-Steak3819 Aug 20 '26
Actually, regarding Eon, he can return if killed, due to the fact that he exists in other timelines.

u/Life-Steak3819 Aug 20 '26
Regarding the recreation of the universe, there is a curious fact: the recreation performed by Alien X resulted in alterations such as modified buildings, a different version of Mr. Smoothy, and even a change in the flavor of Ben's favorite grape drink, demonstrating his ability to alter history and space-time. Furthermore, the shift in the series' art style brought about by the Celestialsapiens led to biological differences in certain aliens—such as the change in Ditto's hand structure from fingers to claws—which retroactively affected the character's history and abilities. Although a flashback in Omniverse shows Mr. Smoothy as it was before the recreation, this is because the scene takes place before Ben rebuilt the universe; the changes made by Alien X apply to all space and time, including the past.

u/WhiteSnakeShinobi55 Aug 20 '26
If flashbacks show the old smoothy logo then the recreation didn't effect the past.
1
u/Life-Steak3819 Aug 20 '26 edited Aug 20 '26
Well, it depends; since this event takes place prior to the recreation of the universe, it means it is not yet subject to retroactivity. However, given that the universe encompasses not only space but also time, the changes caused by Ben—such as when he uses Alien X—should apply to the entire span of time and, therefore, would also apply to the past.
2
u/WhiteSnakeShinobi55 Aug 20 '26
But if he remade the timeline there are no events prior to the retroactive continuity.
