Aloysius Animo (Omniverse Future)

Dr. Aloysius James Animo is a mad scientist obsessed with genetic experiments on animals. He is Dr. Animo's future self as of Omniverse.
==Appearance==
Animo has his head held in a dome and attached to the body of an albino gorilla with white fur, purple skin, giant claws on his feet. Animo's brain is exposed in a smaller dome, and he has red eyes (one of which is mechanical). He retains his Prime Timeline counterpart's pale green skin and white hair. When detached from his body, Animo's head has metallic legs attached to the bottom of the dome. He has two antennae poking out from the bigger dome. He has three bolts on each hand and a backbone-type tube on his back.
==Personality==
Animo's personality hasn't changed much over the years, as he is just as egomaniacal as his younger self. He doesn't talk to stuffed animals as he did in the past.
Animo has a tendency to incessantly argue with his past self, even blaming him for the circumstances that reduced him to being a head in a jar. Furthermore, the trauma of losing his body has affected him somewhat.
Overall, Animo is still considered a power-hungry madman. However, he does seem to possess some semblance of humanity, as when he learned of Max's retirement, he seemed genuinely saddened and remarked that it "won't be the same without [him]", though this is questionable, as later, upon being freed by Subdora, he didn't hesitate to attack him in an attempt to make his retirement "permanent".
==History==
===Background===
At some point, Animo's body was destroyed, leaving only his head intact.
===Omniverse===
In The End of an Era, Animo broke into Ben 10,000's tower and used his Chronoporter to travel back in time.
In Animo Crackers, Animo met the present Animo and worked with him to defeat Ben. He revealed that the loss of his original body had been a traumatic experience, and it was due to his past self's mistake. He told his past self that they had to get the A.R.C. Project, so they could create an army of mutants together. However, they were defeated by Gutrot, after Animo accidentally told him how to use his powers. He was recaptured after being given memory loss and taken back to the future by Spanner.
After being brought back by Spanner, Animo was escorted to Plumber Headquarters. When he heard Max was retiring, Animo remarked that the place wouldn't be the same without him. Later, Subdora opened his cell door as a distraction, and he attacked Max. After a short battle, Max managed to remove Animo's jar from his gorilla body. Animo lamented that he needs to reinforce his neck bolts and was once again put back to his cell.
==Powers and Abilities==
AC (150).png|Enhanced Strength

TEoaE (9).png|Wall Crawling
AC (357).png|Protective Dome

Animo's gorilla body grants him enhanced strength. He is strong enough to cause chunks of the ground to fly off by smashing it.
Animo can jump high in the air.
Animo can crawl on walls and ceilings.
===Equipment===
Animo's head is surrounded by a protective dome, making him immune to Gutrot's gas attacks if the vent on his chest is closed.
Animo's Transmogrifier can send out a pulse to instantly mutate animals in his vicinity, as shown with the copy he provided his past self.
Animo has several canisters on each arm, storing animals in stasis, which can be ejected for use, mutating the animals in the process.
Animo owns a Holo-Viewer.
==Weaknesses==
AC (203).png|Electricity Vulnerability
TEoaE (301).png|Detachable Head
AC (404).png|Cracked Dome
Animo is vulnerable to electricity, as shown when he was shocked by Ken using the blasters of his Chrono Spanner suit.
Animo's head can be separated from his body if it is not reinforced properly. This can leave him very vulnerable and a lot easier to trap.
Though the dome surrounding his head affords him some protection, it is not indestructible and will crack with enough force. Damaging the dome will make him susceptible to gas attacks.
Like his past self, Animo's arrogance and over-confidence still continues to be his downfall. His periodic bouts of forgetfulness can make him overlook certain details.
==Appearances==
