Albedo (BotO)

## Appearance

### Human Form

Albedo's human form has not changed much in *Omniverse* though he now has dark circles under his eyes and paler skin. His jacket's design is mirrored, with the black stripe with a 10 now on his right side, along with the 10 becoming 01, along with additional pockets. He wears the Ultimatrix on his right hand.

In *The Ultimate Heist*, he was wearing a red mirrored version of Ben's current T-shirt before changing into his older attire, and in *For a Few Brains More*, when he is transformed into an 11-year-old version of Ben, he wears a red and black version of Ben's old shirt with grey pants, while still having his red eyes and white hair.

After he got arrested, he has a concrete guard on his right wrist and shackle on his left leg.

In *Battle of the Omnitricies*, Albedo returns to his 16-year-old appearance due to fixing Azmuth's tampering with the Ultimatrix back in *For a Few Brains More*.

### Galvan Form

Albedo's *Omniverse* appearance in *The Ultimate Heist*, he looks like he did in the flashback in *Trouble Helix*, but the green is replaced by red and he has an Ultimatrix symbol on his back.

As a normal Galvan, Albedo has changed drastically in terms of appearance. His chin is stretched further down and visible tufts of hair now stick out of both eyes. Two smaller whiskers also stick out from Albedo's chin.

### Transformations

In *Omniverse*, whenever Albedo transforms, he looks identical to Ben's transformations (except Galvan form) but with the color scheme of his alien forms reflecting his color scheme, such as Goop or Armodrillo becoming red. In some cases, it's shown that the aliens he transforms into have a reverse pattern in their outfits, and/or have paler or completely different colors to them.

## Personality

Before he turned against Azmuth, Albedo was an eccentric genius who was very respectful of Azmuth, and was concerned for the safety of others. At the same time, he still showed an arrogant sense of superiority toward others, mostly in terms of intelligence.

In the present day, 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.

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).

## Powers and Abilities

Albedo is highly intelligent, being "very smart even for a Galvan", and has a large amount of knowledge about the Omnitrix, having been Azmuth's assistant. He was able to create a copy of the Omnitrix that, despite the mishap of turning him into a clone of Ben, worked perfectly, as well as successfully complete the Ultimatrix by integrating its energy core on his modified former Omnitrix's band. Albedo created the evolutionary function in the Ultimatrix. Technically speaking, he is smarter than Dr. Psychobos.

Albedo is a very good fighter, as he could easily defeat Gwen and Kevin with just Swampfire and Diamondhead respectively. Albedo was able to easily overwhelm Ben in a hand-to-hand fight while both were human. He was even able to knock Ben out for a short time. He was also able to take down hundreds of Vilgax's Humungousaur clones with using only Ultimate Humungousaur.

Thanks to a modification that Albedo made to himself through a DNA altering machine, Albedo can alter his DNA at will and change into any species without the need for an Omnitrix. As intended, Albedo also regained access to his true Galvan form as a plus. However, because Ben had interfered, whenever he changes into an alien form, he will always revert to his "Ben" form. Albedo uses a new Ultimatrix to help stabilize this power in *Omniverse*.

### Equipment

In *Omniverse*, Albedo creates a new Ultimatrix but it is eventually disabled and confiscated by Azmuth, though Albedo manages to steal it from Azmuth.

## 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. 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.

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.

## Biology

Albedo was a brilliant young Galvan scientist, who served as Azmuth's assistant. In *Trouble Helix*, he inadvertently had a hand in upgrading Malware into his current form when he was captured and forced to connect the new Helix with the old one. In the flashback, he was an ally of Ben Tennyson and was very loyal to Azmuth as he called him "First Thinker" and even fought for him when Malware approached.

At some point after, Albedo asked Azmuth for an Omnitrix for himself, as he didn't trust "a mere human", though his request was denied, as Azmuth stated that there could be only one Omnitrix. Azmuth later fired him, though Albedo claims he quit. Albedo then used his knowledge of the project to build a copy, and set it to match Ben's. However, when doing so, he didn't know that Ben's DNA would become the default, causing him to permanently lose his Galvan form and become a clone of Ben.

## History

* Albedo takes on an important role in the first two episodes. In the first episode, Albedo reveals to both Ben and Rook that he's back, and in the second episode, he interrogates Ben and Rook, as he claims that Ben is a monster for all the lives that had been tied to his hands. Throughout the rest of the second episode, Albedo successfully generates a portal in order for both him and Eon to set everything into motion.
* In Khyber's First Launch, Albedo and Eon are ambushed by Nega Ben as he informs them both about the other alternates that they need to recruit for the war between the Tennysons. Before the episode ends, Albedo and Eon teleport out of the Nega Timeline as they teleport somewhere else, most likely back at the Ben Prime Timeline.
* In Battle in the Great Vault of Sulcus, Albedo had rebuilt the vault sometime before Ben, Gwen and the Vreedle Brothers were mysteriously teleported into it. Later on, he battled against Gwen inside the Great Vault of Sulcus. As he was about to be beaten, he manages to escape as Big Chill while Gwen shielded herself from the rubble and dust that generated from their fight.

## Trivia

* When Albedo was working for Azmuth in creating the Omnitrix, he worked on the Omnitrix's software package.
* Just like Ben, Albedo likes chili fries, but not because of Ben's DNA. Albedo is just blaming it on Ben.
	+ Albedo likes smoothies too, but he can control himself around those.
* Albedo is not albino. He just has white hair.
* Albedo hates Azmuth more than he hates Ben.
* Albedo considers his 11-year-old human form to be a lot worse than his 16-year-old form.
* When Albedo lies, his left eye twitches, just like Ben's.
* Albedo cannot transform into Feedback because Feedback's DNA was not available when Albedo received the ability to transform into any species in *Double or Nothing*. He is known to have had at least all the aliens Ben did at the point of *The Final Battle*.
	+ Due to him transforming without the need of an Omnitrix, Albedo is not able to add more aliens to his roster, and thus doesn't have some of Ben's more recently added DNA samples such as Kickin Hawk, Mole-Stache, Pesky Dust, Walkatrout, The Worst, and Whampire.
		- These were later retconned by Benzarro85 since it would contradict the fact that his Ultimatrix would've synchronized with Ben Prime's Omnitrix from *The Ultimate Heist* onwards, since Ben 23's Hero Watch had been synced with Ben's Omnitrix also.
* There is an alternate timeline where Albedo turned into Negative Alien X and was stuck motionless for nearly a year.
	+ Albedo's Bellicus and Serena would be red and named Annikus and Kursika.
* Albedo role in the Mad Timeline, Bad Timeline, Nega Timeline, Benzarro's Timeline, and Gweniverse is unknown.
	+ If Albedo exists in Dimension 23, he is not a villain.
* Albedo's powers at the end of *Double or Nothing* are similar to Kevin's powers after he absorbed the Omnitrix for the first time.
* Albedo's Ultimate form in *Omniverse* is heavily based on Marvel Comics villain M.O.D.O.K.
