Nobody answered this question.tf? Then where does EE come from?
Combination of Kevin’s ‘Blink and you’re gone’ statement coupled with the Servantis statementNobody answered this question.
tf? Then where does EE come from?
Regarding Atomic X, it's just gene splicing, not a true fusion. Since Atomic-X is made through gene splicing, it's reasonable that Atomic X would be weaker than Alien X. It's like having one parent with good genes and one with bad genes. The product would be somewhere in the middle. This is especially shown when Atomic X gets taken out by Maltruant.
Thanks for the link.So basically no explanation is given to how fusion from Biometrix works in Ben 10?@My_area
While it wasn't explained directly in the series itself, context clues regarding how the Omnitrix works and a writer statement clarify the matter.

This is a moot point considering I literally explained why the “greatest power” statements were taken out of context.@Zamasu_Chan
It would appear that you are not looking at the bigger picture of the series.
Ben Again was aired on January 19, 2013. In this episode, we saw that the Chrono Navigator can destroy all of time and causality. Following this, the audience would question if Alien X was as powerful as described back in Ultimate Alien.
Later that same year on September 13, 2013, Q&A With Matt Wayne was posted.
- Q: If Serena and Bellicus agree, is Alien X omnipotent?
- A: In this universe.
- As all Celestialsapiens are born in the Forge of Creation that is outside the branching timelines, he is referring to the Ben 10 verse as a whole.
- Q: 2. Like actually omnipotent? They can do ANYTHING they want if 2 out of 3 personalities agree?
- A: Yes, but usually they're deadlocked, one to one.
Being called omnipotent doesn’t mean you’re multiversal. I shouldn’t have to explain this to you of all people.It's reasonable that he is including Multuiversal Destruction since they just wrote said threat in the earlier season and the emphasis on anything. They even have the threat of Multiversal Destruction happen again less than a month later on October 6, 2014 in And Then There Were None.
Again. Omnipotent is a fallacious term we never use to justify a tier.This perception of Celestials being top tier in the verse is reinforced by the writers on October 27, 2012 in So Long, and Thanks for All the Smoothies with
- "I put it to you ladies and gentle aliens and not so gentle aliens, is it right to hold one scrawny little human responsible for the misdeeds of an entire species of omnipotent beings?"
Servantis, a walking talking deceiver, saying Alien X could wipe out all of creation and using omnipotence in the same scene is literally the definition of hyperbole.This is again reinforced by the writers on October 17 2014 in Weapon XI: Part 2
- Servantis: With that weapon on his wrist, he can turn into a Tokust'ar or perhaps even a Celestialsapien. This grimy child could one day just wish everything out of existence.
- Servantis: You think this omnipotent monster is the good guy.?!
I don’t even know what you’re trying to say here. The Chrono Navigator cannot destroy the entire multiverse in a single attack. It only does that by opening holes in space time and destroying the multiverse over time.Regarding the Chrono Navigator, it's a situation that permeates powerful verses. Once you start dealing with affecting entire timelines or even higher dimensions, the line differentiating AP and powerful hax is blurred. Affecting an entire multiverse with just raw power and without any form of hax, in general, is unlikely.
Fam. I already explained why even Maltruant harming regular Atomix is dumb. And you can’t just divide infinity kek.Regarding Atomic X, it's just gene splicing, not a true fusion. Since Atomic-X is made through gene splicing, it's reasonable that Atomic X would be weaker than Alien X. It's like having one parent with good genes and one with bad genes. The product would be somewhere in the middle. This is especially shown when Atomic X gets taken out by Maltruant.
Because the writers are stupid when it comes to power scaling. Diamondhead was shown to harm Malgax and wasn’t shattered by him when launched to Galvan B. Malgax > Atomix >> Ultimate Humungousaur >>>>>>>>>>> Humungousaur >= Diamondhead. Do you see the inconsistency? I could make a whole blog about Ben 10 asinine scaling inconsistencies.Why would the writers have Maltruant takedown Atomic X if they intended for Atomic X to be just as powerful as Alien X? It's more reasonable that Atomic X isn't as strong as Alien X.
You saying you believe doesn’t mean squat. ******* Vilgax should be stronger than Maltruant but Atomic X stomped him with a flick. How come Maltruant harming Atomic X suddenly reliable?Regarding the CTB and Atomic X. I believe that seeing Atomic-X being taken down by Maltruant is more reliable compared to analyzing intent from a failed attempt by Atomic X during a time loop/reboot scenario.
Ben Tennyson: Nah. I always figured the Omnitrix had a failsafe that wouldn't let me die, and sure enough, it kicked in right when the big bang started -- gave me just the alien I needed.Also, the failsafe was retconned in on November 14, 2014 in A New Dawn at the end of the series.
This is misleading. This quote actually comes from a Galvan Lawyer. A lawyer who’s trying to appeal to the Celestialsapiens to get them to not fine Ben, similar to how real life Lawyers try to sway the opinions of a jury. Even if Omnipotent was not an accepted term for power scaling, even though most Galvans are Geniuses, I’d wager we can’t accept this statement because it comes from an untrustworthy source. Of course he’d try to appeal to the Celestialsapiens. It’s in the interest of his client.This perception of Celestials being top tier in the verse is reinforced by the writers on October 27, 2012 in So Long, and Thanks for All the Smoothies with
- "I put it to you ladies and gentle aliens and not so gentle aliens, is it right to hold one scrawny little human responsible for the misdeeds of an entire species of omnipotent beings?“
“Do anything” is literally a reference to his powers. If I can turn my thoughts into reality then “do anything” is a good way to describe it.@Zamasu_Chan
Dude, chill.
In the context that the writing team using with its episodes before and after the statement, doing "anything" includes multiversal destruction.
Which is still fallacious. Omnipotence is in reference to their RW.I'm not using "omnipotence" to mark a tier, I'm just saying that the writers are consistent about having their characters describe celestials as being the top of the verse.
Ben’s had a fail safe since he first had the Omnitrix. Ben 10k should absolutely have it.By definition, the failsafe addition is a retcon: a piece of new information that imposes a different interpretation on previously described events.
Basically repeating what you said ad nausea.@Daddybrawl
My point is that the writers are consistently having their characters describe celestials as being the top of the verse.
Not to mention they dont even know the true defintiion or point of what omnipotence means, even in a non-literal sense, since people in the verse are aware of Celestialsapiens being a species. How they can call a species omnipoent when there being more than one "omnipotent" alien is, in and of itself, counter intuitive?Omnipotence in the context that they're using is just that they're dumb powerful reality warpers, from what I can see all the characters calling Alien X omnipotent aren't even Low 2-C, so of course from non-Low 2-Cs standpoint a Low 2-C reality warper being would be omnipotent.
Not to mention that Alien X doesn’t have EE resistance. So in other words, we’re again discussing something even the opposition agrees with (CTB has EE) with it not applied on the page, wouldn’t it be easier to first apply it?If Atomic X was 1/2 as powerful as Alien X, then Atomic X dying to a 2-B CTB wouldn't contradict a 2-B Alien X
Since when did Ben 10000 know he’s countering a multiversal EE’ing bomb? There even used to be a note on his profile to say that he didn’t IIRC. Also despite being a genius (not Supergenius) he can still make dumb moves and why would you even assume he still has full control over Alien X, that’s a temporary thing you know.I agree with this downgrade fully. The Atomic-X thing especially never made sense to me. I don't know why we would assume Ben 10k would literally go into an infinitely weaker fusion against something of CTB's caliber of destruction if Atomic-X was truly so inferior to Alien X.
Several staff disagreed with this in the previous thread and even then he scales above the Chrono Navigator’s space-time hax. Said hax is over time but creating holes in space-time that will destroying the universe is already accepted as a valid proof for low 2-C for that one Mario character that has a crossover with Rabbids IIRC (so same reasoning should hold up for 2-B) and not that this matters anyway in a 2-A cosmology. What’s that the cosmology of Ben 10 isn’t 2-A? Well you can either push for the downgrade now and waste our time, wait for me to upgrade the cosmology to 2-A and then upgrade Alien X, or you can just wait till I make the cosmology blog which we all agreed to when we closed the last thread involving cosmology.So the 'Greatest Power in the Universe" is simply a Celestialsapien's ability to warp reality.
Basically thisI don't agree with removing EE, being decietful doesn't mean everything a character says is a lie. There is ultimately a reason for why the Rooters were scared of Ben and it might very well be what Servantis cites here. Hyperbole also isn't a good defense, when people say "wish everything out of existence" in context to a being with reality warping powers that work on a cosmic scale imply he can use those powers to mentally erase things, it really doesn't seem like a flowery way to refer to a process that isn't actually existence erasure
