Earth-32, more accurately known as Universe-32, is the universe where the Ben 10 NOW! franchise takes place.
Overview
Earth-32's past is very difficult, if not downright impossible to determine, due to its vast age. According to Professor Paradox, even he isn't sure of who or what created Earth-32. What he does know, however, is that this universe has been destroyed and recreated eight times, making the current version of Earth-32 the ninth iteration. The fifth iteration in particular, was destroyed by the collision and subsequent merge with Earth-001, though why Earth-32 retained its numeration remains unknown. According to Maltruence, Earth-32 isn't infinite, as he 'has visited every alternate timeline and pocket dimension'. Whether this statement is trustworthy or not is up to interpretation.
The Contemelia are the first species to appear in Earth-32, dating back to its third iteration. So far, no other species has managed to survive more than one iteration although the ninth iteration's Celestialsapiens and Adhmorsapiens are strong candidates.
History
First Iteration
- Time exists as a concept, but there is no space.
Second Iteration
- Time and space exist as concepts. Abstract ideas begin forming.
Third Iteration
- The Contemelia emerge as the first species to have ever existed. They master the ability to create linear paths for time and space, which they dub "timelines".
Fourth Iteration
- The Contemelia, after millenia-long experiments, create the Slimebiotes.
Fifth Iteration
- Magic exists as concept.
- A collision with Earth-001 destroys this iteration.
Sixth Iteration
- A powerful being, known as Mor-I-Dun, rules as Supreme Overlord of Magic.
Seventh Iteration
- The Age of Magic comes to an end.
Eighth Iteration
- The Map of Infinity is formed from fragments of the previous iterations.
Ninth Iteration
- Current iteration.
Differences from Canon Timeline
Dimension 1
- The Faction never disbanded. Malware was still killed, but Khyber kept his dog and was in frequent contact with Dr. Psychobos.
- Ben doesn't seem to possess the hoodie that was introduced in So Long, And Thanks For All The Smoothies.
- Some characters have different appearances; for example, Eon still retains his Ultimate Alien appearance.
- Azmuth apparently changed some of his beliefs, as he considers Ben responsible enough to have access to the Ultimate forms now.
- Argit isn't the hero of Undertown anymore and has returned to his villainous ways.
- The Plumbers' HQ in Bellwood doesn't serve as a prison anymore and all criminals get transported to the Null Void.
- Villains like Dr. Animo and Overlord are in normal prisons.
- Events that occured after Season 4 of Omniverse didn't happen or occured differently. For example, Swampfire has not blossomed to his mature form and it is unknown if he even has one.
- Episodes that serve as retcons, like So Long and Thanks for All the Smoothies, The Rooters of All Evil, Weapon XI: Part 1 & 2 didn't occur and the episodes And Then There Was None and And Then There Was Ben happened differently.
