==History==
===Ben 10===
*In Ben 10 Versus the Universe: The Movie, Gax was created by Azmuth when he absorbed half of Vilgax's DNA into the Omnitrix to stop his galactic rampage in a flashback.
*Gax first appeared in Omni-Tricked: Part 1, where he battled the Teramite until he reverted. Later, he stopped Mount Megalodon from erupting and defeated the Teramite.
*In Omni-Tricked: Part 2, Gax saved some workers and met Phil.
*In Omni-Tricked: Part 3, Gax practiced his abilities and met Vil before the latter absorbed the transformation's DNA, locking it from the active playlist and restoring himself to Vilgax.
**The same scene reoccurred in video footage used by Tetrax to deceive the Incurseans into thinking Gax is actually Vilgax in Ben 10 Versus the Universe: The Movie.
*In Omni-Tricked: Part 4, Gax's DNA pod was "fixed" by Glitch using Shock Rock's DNA pod off-screen.
*In Animorphosis, Gax partially appeared when Dr. Animo was transforming.

==Naming and Translations==
== Etymology==
Gax's name is an onomatopoeia of a throat clear. It is also half of Vilgax's full name, serving as a reference to the connection between the alien and his genetic donor.
==Trivia==
*Gax shares some similarities with the Classic Continuity alien, Feedback:
**Both are additional aliens voiced by Yuri Lowenthal.
**Both quickly become Ben's favorite alien to the point that he is majorly excited to use their transformation over any other regardless of the situation.
**Both were removed from the Omnitrix by major villains, Gax being taken out by Vilgax and Feedback being taken out by Malware.
**Both have their own theme song.
*Gax is also similar to Ghostfreak, as both were part of Ben's alien roster until they were removed and became villains; though Ghostfreak was really Zs'Skayr trapped within the Omnitrix while Gax was absorbed by "Vil".
*When switching his arms into tentacles, each individual finger becomes a separate tentacle. Although often missing due to animation errors, Gax's gloves do not disappear when his arms become tentacles. They are worn by a fifth tentacle that does not form one of his fingers when part of a normal arm.
*Gax's concept art resembles the second design of the Classic Continuity counterpart of Vilgax in the original series.
*Despite being introduced in the Reboot Continuity, Gax has been confirmed to have existed in the Classic Continuity. However, his DNA was removed from the Omnitrix by the power surge on the Chimeran Hammer during the events of Secrets.
*Gax is Kelly Turnbull's favorite transformation.
*Gax is tied with NRG for the shortest name for any alien in the Ben 10 franchise.
