The Black Box is a mysterious object in Ben 10: Revamped. It was first seen in the pilot, teleporting in from somewhere, already hurtling towards Earth.
It has carvings on all of its faces that make it resemble a cube form of the Hand of Armageddon. The material that it is made of is unknown.
Role in the series[]
Evidently, its arrival was predicted, as Vilgax mentioned that "the prophecies [were] true" when he first saw it. Paradox came to Earth with it, and during this travel, a "slight de-sync in time" created a corrupt clone of Paradox (the energy monster) and also caused Paradox to slowly degrade into a similar monster.
In "The Paradox," it crashes into Bellwood, and is taken to the Fort Soledad Military base. Team Tennyson and Paradox teleport there so that they can use the Box to defeat the energy monster, which turns out to be a clone of Paradox. The latter sacrifices himself to somehow destroy them both with the Box, fixing the paradox caused by the clone's existence and preventing himself from degrading into another version of it.
Vilgax absorbed its power in "Secrets." He became much stronger, was able to control energy, gained the ability to grow and shrink at will, and was even able to see through time, predicting Ben's ultimate defeat by "the Box's true power." Ultimately, this is disproven and the prediction left a mystery when Ben defeated Vilgax (again!) and returned the power to the Box with Feedback.

Something is in the Box[1], and it is evidently powerful enough to destroy Paradox and the energy monster, and even fix the already-mentioned paradox, when the two were sucked into it. Even what it is made of is a mystery, as the material can hold in all this power.
