Contradictory Retcons (Reboot)

Throughout the Reboot Continuity, various retroactive additions or alterations of the continuity (otherwise known as retcons) have been made.
Below are listed some of the retcons made throughout the series which contradict established continuity, some of which were off-screen information subject to revision.
==Retconned In-Series Information==
*During Season 1, Cash and JT were depicted as around 10 (Ben's current age) during a flashback set 4 years earlier.The Clocktopus However, they were shown to have seemingly remained the same age in flashbacks set during Ben's most recent school year featured in Season 3.This One Goes to 11Adrenaland Jr.
*When Billy Billions first appears in the reboot, Ben did not appear to know Billy.Rustbucket RIP However, it would later be revealed that Ben used to be a fan of Billy prior to the latter's fall from grace.Ben Again and Again
*In the Alien Worlds shorts released during Season 1, Pyros was referred to as a planet-like star.Heatblast AW1: Extreme Season Later during the show's run, Pyros is instead called a planet located near a star.Heatblast AW2: Cold Snap
*When the Null Void first appears, it was depicted as a colorless realm that helplessly suspended its prisoners in zero-gravity.Innervasion Part 4: Mind Over Alien Matter This was retconned in Ben 10 Versus the Universe, where the Null Void is depicted as a somewhat-habitable place with color and Earth-like gravity.Ben 10 Versus the Universe: The Movie
*It is initially established that altering the past alters the present, creating aborted timelines. However, this no longer proves to be the case as Ben 10,000's actions would cause his timeline to branch away from present-day Ben's.Ben 10,010
==Retconned Merchandise Information==
*When Vilgax first appeared in the reboot, he was described as a tyrant who left his home planet in search of the "ultimate weapon". However, it was later revealed that he was actually Azmuth's assistant.
==Retconned Crew Statements==
* It is initially believed that Gax's DNA was no longer available in the Omnitrix after Vilgax absorbed the transformation to restore himself.Omni-Tricked: Part 3 However, this would later be contradicted by Gax's tentacles being briefly seen during Animo's transformation into Rath.Animorphosis
**Therefore, it is implied that Gax was simply locked from the active playlist and still available within the Omnitrix.
*When Humungousaur first appeared in the reboot, it was initially stated that Vaxasaurians could not alter their size like their Classic Continuity counterparts. However, this was later refuted and/or corrected, with it also being explained that Ben has not yet learned how to alter his size as Humungousaur.
*Ben 10 Versus the Universe would debunk several statements that were previously made about the Reboot Continuity Omnitrix's features:
**Firstly, it was originally stated that the Omnitrix cannot collect new DNA by scanning other aliens. This is no longer true, as the Opticoid Prisoner explicitly states that the Omnitrix can sample, absorb, and collect DNA.
**Secondly, it previously stated that the Omnitrix cannot repair DNA. This has been debunked, as Azmuth used a feature similar to the DNA repair mode of the Classic Continuity's original Omnitrix to revert Alien V back to Vilgax and restore Earth to its original state.
==Other==
*Correlating with the confirmation that Reboot Continuity's Omnitrix has a DNA scanner, it is explained that Ben has not yet learned how to use that application.
