Ben 10 Fan Fiction Wiki:Archive/Albedo

Albedo is a character introduced in Ben 10: Alien Force in the episode Good Copy, Bad Copy. Originally a Galvan, and Azmuth's former assistant, Albedo was turned into a red, silver-haired clone of Ben after a failed attempt to create his own Omnitrix. While he had only two appearances in Alien Force, Albedo has since became quite popular amongst the fans, and played a major role in the series by introducing the Ultimatrix. He also has a red jacket, instead of a green one. Later, he also gains black under his eyes.

Appearance
Before his DNA was synced with Ben's, he looked like a normal Galvan with a green tunic.

In Alien Force and Ultimate Alien, he wears a negative version of Ben's jacket and has red eyes as well. He has silver hair.

In Omniverse, he wears a completely reversed version of his jacket. He also has black markings below his eyes. In For A Few Brains More, he transforms into a negative version of 11 year old Ben.

In Ben 10: Protector of the Omniverse, his human form has his 16-year old Omniverse appearance but with his 11-year old self's clothes. His Galvan form has his Ultimate Alien appearance, but the colors on his outfit are reversed. After being turned into a baby, he wears a negative version of Grey Matter's Omniverse outfit.

In Ben 10: Heroics Unleashed, his human form has his 16-year old Omniverse appearance, but he wears a red T-shirt with a black line going in a horizontal direction right at the middle. He wears long black pants, instead of grey.

In Ben 10: The Omniwars, he has his Omniverse appearance after the events of For A Few Brains More, but with a smaller version of his 16-year old clothes. His Galvan form also has his Omniverse appearance.

In Ben 10: Unbound, he has his Omniverse appearance before the events of For A Few Brains More  without the black markings or the jacket. He has a reversed "10" on his shirt. His Ultimatrix nows looks like the Alien Force Omnitrix. He has a slightly different hairstyle and shirt. His Galvan Form has his Omniverse appearance.

Blank and the Omnigizer

It's Project Presenting Time], where it took him 6 months to create a spaceship and come to Galvan Prime, willing to kill Azmuth. On the way, he accidentally bumped into Blank, and became the main villian in the episode.

Personality
Albedo is portrayed as a rude, arrogant, and ambitious person who shows sociopathic tendencies. He is unaccepting of Ben's right to wear the Omnitrix, feeling that only he has the right to wield such a power. He bears animosity towards Azmuth, even so much as denying him the credit of the creation of the Omnitrix. Originally a scientist, he speaks with a larger vocabulary, being much more intellectual than Ben, though in a rather cold and condescending manner.

Because he had gained Ben's DNA, Albedo apparently has also gained Ben's cravings and needs: he shares the boy's tastes in food, scratches himself in places he suspects are inappropriate, and his left eye twitches when he lies. As a running gag, he especially craves for chili fries, actually even more than Ben, and calls it a "human weakness", originally he hated this habit, but later on when meeting back up with Vilgax and when asked what took him so long, he said he had to stop for chili fries. Because of his arrogance, he denies the fact that he likes them, blaming his human DNA for causing this.

Albedo is continually suspicious of everyone, suspecting Vilgax's inevitable betrayal to steal the Omnitrix once they had taken it from him when they had teamed up. Despite Vilgax twice saying that he was only out to kill Ben Tennyson and conquer his world, Albedo kept his mistrust, which was sound, when Vilgax did keep the Omnitrix for his army and turned it against Albedo.

Powers and Abilities
In all of his appearances so far, Albedo used a copy of the Omnitrix which gave him alien shape-shifting abilites similar to Ben's. He originally had an Omnitrix he had built himself, giving him access to all of Ben's alien forms. The Omnitrix was of low quality, however, and as a side effect caused him to be turned into a clone of Ben. This Omnitrix was destroyed by Azmuth at the end of Good Copy, Bad Copy. Notice that after his human form changed color from the bio-energy feedback, his aliens' eyes and Omnitrix symbol are now red instead of green, due to this Albedo's transformations are red instead of green (while Ben is transforming the cells and bones are green but Albedo's are red).

In the two-part Alien Force finale, The Final Battle, Albedo used the Ultimatrix, a new enhanced version of the Omnitrix, created by Azmuth, and completed by himself. In addition to the ability to turn into any of Ben's aliens, he could make them take their original process of evolution so they can evolve into their "Ultimate" form (which is sort of like what happens on Pokemon). The Ultimatrix was later taken from him by Ben.

In addition to his Omnitrix, Albedo is highly intelligent, "very smart even for a Galvan" according to Dwayne McDuffie, and has a large amount of knowledge about the Omnitrix, having been Azmuth's assistant. He was able to create a copy of the Omnitrix that, other than turning him into a clone of Ben, worked perfectly, as well as successfully repair the Ultimatrix by integrating its energy core on his modified former Omnitrix's bracelet, possibly using the extra energy to evolve the aliens. It was also confirmed that Albedo was the one who created the function to allow the aliens to evolve, not Azmuth.

In Double or Nothing, Albedo easily defeated Ben, when they were both in human form, and even managed to knock him out for a while. Also in the same episode, Albedo gained the ability to alter his DNA into any alien species in the Codon Stream, without a need for an Omnitrix device. However, because Ben had interfered, he will always revert back to his 'Ben' form.

Ben 10: Alien Force
Albedo was Ben's evil clone until their Omnitrixes send out a shock wave that damaged his form. Albedo was once Azmuth's assistant, so he knows more about the Omnitrix/Ultimatrix than Ben. At one point before his first appearance, he asked Azmuth for his own Omnitrix, as he didn't trust "a mere human" (Ben) for the destiny of the entire universe. When Azmuth refused, stating there could be only one Omnitrix, Albedo used his knowledge of the project to build a copy, and set it to match Ben's. However, by doing so, he unintentionally put Ben's DNA as the default, causing him to lose his Galvan form and become a clone of Ben.

Disgusted by what had happened to him, Albedo traveled to Earth in Good Copy, Bad Copy in order to take Ben's Omnitrix and use it to cure him. During his search for Ben, he savagely attacked at least 3 Forever Knight castles, and multiple DNAlien hives, in order to get information, causing the Knights to believe Ben was attacking them for no reason and getting Gwen and Kevin's attention. When Albedo and Ben eventually met during Albedo's rampage at another Knight castle, Albedo pretended being the creator of the Omnitrix, accusing Azmuth of being a liar, and asked Ben to give it back to him. When Ben, suspicious, refused, Albedo transformed and attacked him in order to take his Omnitrix by force. After clashing with him twice, their Omnitrix locked with each other, almost causing a feedback that could have destroyed a whole galaxy. During the process, Albedo's human form was damaged, resulting in him becoming a negative version of Ben. Azmuth then arrived and destroyed Albedo's Omnitrix by removing the dial, trapping him in his human form, before sending him to the Null Void Prison. In the Alien Force series finale, Albedo escaped from prison with the help of Vilgax, and stole the Ultimatrix, a more powerful but incomplete version of the Omnitrix, from Azmuth (with Diamondhead replacing Chromastone, plus Lodestar and Rath). Using pieces from his broken fake Omnitrix and tools given by Vilgax, he successfully complete the Ultimatrix and tried to use it in order to turn back to his Galvan form. However, the Ultimatrix was still linked to Ben's Omnitrix, still causing him to be trapped in his form. Vilgax then offered him an alliance, promising he would let him get Ben's Omnitrix. Though not really trusting him, Albedo accepted and helped him. Despite the alliance being a success, Vilgax quickly double-crossed Albedo and made him his prisoner. After the Omnitrix was destroyed, Ben freed Albedo and forced him to hand over the Ultimatrix by threatening to destroy it too. Dwayne McDuffie has said that Albedo is still alive out there somewhere.



Ben 10: Alien Universe
In Ben 10: Alien Universe, Albedo makes two appearances as a main villain. In his first appearance, he is found by Ben and the two face-off eventually leading to Ben using Alien X to revert his DNA. In his second appearance, Zs'Skayr finds Albedo and reverts him to Albedo Ben with a new copy of the Omnitrix. In this appearance, Albedo hesitates to fight, but is forced to by Zs'Skayr. In the end, Ben again uses Alien X to revert Albedo's DNA.

Trivia

 * Unlike Ben, he does not shout the names of the aliens when he transforms into them.
 * Just like Ben, he craves for chili fries but not because of Ben's DNA. According to Dwayne McDuffie, Albedo is just blaming it on Ben.
 * When he lies his left eye twitches, just like Ben. Kevin seems to be the only one to have noticed this.
 * On the Albedo toy and in The Final Battle and Vilgax Attacks Albedo wears a black shirt even though the Omnitrix damaged his form in Good Copy Bad Copy, turning his black shirt into white, he probably replaced his white shirt with a black shirt, Jimmy Jones' white shirt might be Albedo's white shirt.
 * Unlike Azmuth who didn't fare so well with it, Albedo showed remarkable skill with the Omnitrix and its aliens. He was more than a match for Ben when both were transformed and was able to defeat both Kevin and Gwen. However, it should be noted Azmuth's only fight using the Omnitrix was against Vilgax, someone more than a match for any of its aliens.
 * In the two-part series finale of Ben 10: Alien Force, The Final Battle, when the Omnitrix was destroyed it turned Kevin back to normal, Albedo didn't go back to his original Galvan because Azmuth trapped him in Ben's human form as revealed by Dwanye.
 * In "Double Negative" (the second chapter book), Albedo doesn't like smoothies as much as Ben does. He says a peanut butter seaweed smoothie, one of Ben's favorites, tastes like feet.
 * Albedo is named after the measurement of how much light an object reflects. Which itself was named after the Latin word for "whiteness". Also, it's probably a bit of a spoof on the word "albino" meaning an animal that shouldn't really have it, but does, have white fur.
 * In Vilgax Attacks Albedo has a red Omnitrix, not a red Ultimatrix. So far this purpose is unknown.
 * Dwayne said that "Albedo is still alive" somewhere.
 * While fighting Albedo in the Vilgax Attacks, he always seems to exclude one move out of his alien's move sets.
 * Albedo is almost similar to Zak Monday (Negative of Zak Saturday from the Secret Saturdays).
 * In Secret of the Omnitrix Pop-up version, it is stated that Azmuth had other Galvans help him make it. This is a reference to Albedo.

Quotes
"Now I see the universe for what it is: We are all dust, bound by one enormous, universal force. No, not universal, not even multiversal, this omniversal force continues forever, in every direction through every reality. My lust for power, my jealousy of Azmuth, it isn't just evil, ultimately; it's pointless. I could never truly destroy you. You would only have not been not existent in what could have not now been the past, present, and partial future. To tear down and destroy is of no consequence or quality; to create is divine."

- Albedo, For A Few Brains More
