Timeline

**Timeline 1** is the Prime Timeline of Earth-50 and the primary setting of *Ben 10: Protector of the Omniverse*.

## Differences From Canon Timeline

* Although some key events occurred prior to the events of the original series as well as in between the original series and *Alien Force*, the timeline follows the canon timeline more or less until Season 2 of *Alien Force*. Most events from the canon timeline beyond this point did not occur. The events that did played out differently.
* Chimera Sui Generi retain their lore from pop-up trivia revealed in the original series:
	+ All female Chimera Sui Generi have a dark "beauty mark" somewhere on their center face tentacle.
	+ Most Chimera Sui Generi were trained from birth for combat and crave any chance for it.
* Encephalonus IV and Anur Phaetos retain their *Vilgax Attacks* lore. However, unlike in the aforementioned game, Anur Phaetos is a planet instead of an alternate dimension.
* The rest of the Anur System retains its lore from pop-up trivia revealed in the original series:
	+ The Anur System has an anti-matter sun.
	+ All Loboan cubs have green eyes, whereas adults have red and pale orange eyes. Ben is exempt from this due to the Infinimatrix matching the aliens' eye colors with Ben's.
* Primus exists, but the Omnitrixes do not depend on it.
* Chromastone cannot fly and is much more resilient than his canon equivalent.
* Petropia remains destroyed and Sugilite is still deceased.
* Contrary to what Dwayne McDuffie confirmed, the flashback in *...Nor Iron Bars a Cage* was the first time Kevin 11 reverted to human.
* Jetray cannot travel into hyperspace.
* Two out of Alien X's three personalities have to agree in order to perform an action, unlike in *Omniverse*, where all three have to agree.
* Echo Echo is not made of living sound waves. His containment suit in the canon timeline is his real body in Timeline 1.
* Rath is not afraid of water.
* Devin existed.
* Osmosians are aliens, not a human subspecies.
* The sun Osmos and the planets revolving it exist.
