Albedo

**Albedo** is the Primary Antagonist in the Comic.

He is Azmuth's former assistant, who, in his attempt to recreate the Omnitrix, turned himself into an imperfect clone of Ben Tennyson. Since then, he has been trying to get back to his Galvan form, while also harboring a great hatred and thirst for revenge for Ben Tennyson.

## Appearance

Albedo resembles an Altered Ben Tennyson, however feedback from his original Omnitrix duplicate changed his skin to a paler complexion, and his hair turned white

His hair is a messier and more ruffled version of Ben's with the back curled up and his beard is much more refined but still shaggy

He wears a red leather jacket with two black stripes on each sleeve, a larger version of a standard Galvan uniform but in a crimson red instead of green, he wears a tactical belt with tools, and para military trousers and boots, with fingerless black gloves

His Ultimatrix is worn on his right arm

## Personality

Albedo is arrogant, egotistical, ambitious, and bitter. He is unaccepting of Ben's right to wear the Omnitrix, thinking that Ben is just an unworthy human. He bears animosity towards Azmuth, even so much as claiming the credit for the creation of the Omnitrix for himself. Originally being a scientist, he speaks with a larger vocabulary, being more intellectual than Ben, though in a rather cold and condescending manner. He also refuses to take blame for his actions as shown when he blamed Ben for his form turning negative despite it being his fault that the pulse that turned his form negative was emitted.

Because he had gained Ben's DNA, Albedo acquired Ben's cravings and habits, which he considers utterly repulsive: He has the same taste in food, scratches himself in "suspected" inappropriate places, and his left eye twitches whenever he lies. As a running gag of the series, he develops an insatiable craving for chili fries, even more than Ben himself, calling it a "human weakness." Originally he had hated this habit, but develops a liking for them, though he denies this and blames it on his human DNA.

Albedo is suspicious and distrustful of others. During his brief team up with Vilgax, he had his suspicions of Vilgax betraying him from the very beginning, which is later proved correct after they had beaten Ben and taken his Omnitrix. After absorbing Azmuth's intelligence, he briefly gained an enlightened personality, which led him to realize that destruction was pointless while creation was truly worthwhile. However, he soon reverted to his normal disposition after Azmuth's mind was extracted from him.

Despite his rude nature, he has shown to have a kind and nice attitude to his allies. The most notable instance is in the episode *Double or Nothing* where Albedo didn't blame Hugh for ruining his chance of becoming a complete Galvan again and instead blamed Ben, despite the fact that it was Hugh who lied to the team that Albedo was building a doomsday device, which is the reason the team went after Albedo (though the reason why he did it was because he didn't want Albedo to leave him).

### Equipment

Albedo originally had an Omnitrix he had built himself, giving him access to all of Ben's unlocked alien forms. However, his Omnitrix was of low quality and only worked by syncing data from Ben's Omnitrix, inadvertently causing him to assume Ben's form as it was the default.

Albedo created the Ultimatrix, a new version of the Omnitrix semi-completed by Azmuth and modified by himself. Unfortunately, at the time it was connected to the same database as the Omnitrix, meaning Ben was still the default unless he could reset the Ultimatrix through the Omnitrix. The Ultimatrix was later taken from him by Ben.

Albedo created a new Ultimatrix but it is eventually disabled and confiscated by Azmuth.

Albedo spent years trying to fix his Ultimatrix eventually succeeding, also with modifications made to create Ultimate Fusions, and also use regular fusions.

## Weaknesses

In almost all of his appearances, Albedo's own arrogance is often the source of his downfall and he always underestimates the intelligence and skill of those that oppose him, specifically Azmuth and Ben. His obsession and desire to get revenge on them can also lead him into getting into situations that end in his defeat and make him overlook the potential of others, such as when he all but completely ignored Blukic and Driba (due to their bumbling antics) while they successfully restored Azmuth after he had been destroyed by Albedo.

He has developed an uncontrollable craving for Chili Fries. This at times gets the better of him, such as side tracking him during or in-between his plans to pick some up. Another case is that he also has a hard time controlling himself eating them when he hasn't eaten any for a long period of time; when he is given some if this happens, he loses his self-control and eats them in a rather messy manner.

He needs his Ultimatrix (which is a stabilizer) in order maintain his transformations and to turn into Ultimate Forms. Without it, he turns back into a human.

Despite his enhanced intelligence he doesn't judge people properly, seeing how he teamed up with Vilgax thrice despite being betrayed by him on two occasions.
