Albedo is a scientist-turned criminal who wields an Ultimatrix device of his own making

## Official Bio

*Once one of Galvan's greatest minds and the assistant of the legendary Azmuth, with time Albedo grew bitter in Azmuth's shadow. Feeling that Azmuth's greatest device, the Omnitrix, was not living up to its potential in the hands of Azmuth's choices of users, he used his knowledge to build an Omnimatrix core of his own, only to be trapped in a bugged human form. Now on a quest for revenge against his mentor and the human who defeated him, he upgraded his Omnitirx with data from an old project of his, giving him the ability to hyper-evolve his alien forms. And who will be able to stand against Ultimate Power?*

## History

Albedo was a Galvan scientist, and was regarded as one of the greatest on Galvan Prime. This earned him a spot working under the legendary Azmuth on his Omnitrix project, alongside Vilgax. However, Albedo grew to believe that he was superior to his mentor, and that he limited the potential of his creation with his choice of users, leading to Azmuth kicking him off the project. As such he began work on creating his own, improved Omnitrix.

Needing data to complete his work, Albedo hacked into the account of the prototype Omnitrix and made a plan to copy the data from the analog Omnitrix belonging to Sahasra, which would hive him access to all the DNA samples in the Codon Stream. To get what he needed, Albedo hacked into the Sumdac Negotiators Sabara, Sam, Saron, and his own assistant Sybyll, then sent them out after Sahasra in Hero's Wannabe Comeback. Once Sybyll transfered him the data he needed, Albedo gloated about how Wyit's work let him get what he wanted before testing his new Codon Reciever. He managed to transform into a Sonorosian, but before he could test his evolutionary model, the device malfunctioned and reverted to inactive mode. To his horror, Albedo found himself in a Human body identical to Ben Tennyson, the current user of the prototype Omnitrix, and realized that to fix the problem, he'd have to hack Ben's device again, which would require him to go to Earth, a prospect he did not find appealing. Once he arrived, he used his Vaxasaurian transformation to attack a castle belonging to the Forever Knights, and bashed his way through their forces, including Jeremy, until he spotted a Squire that chose to hide rather than fight him. Grabbing him, Albedo chose to ask the Squire if he knew the location of the enemies of the Forever Knights, and demanded to know where Ben Tennyson was just as he reverted back to his new human form.

Albedo got the info he needed and confronted Ben Tennyson, but the encounter led to him getting exposed to bio-energy that turned his Human body into an albino. He then wound up in prison with his Omnitrix taken away, but was rescued by the Sumdac unit Shari, who had been sent by Vilgax. Hiding out in a cave on Earth, Albedo continued his work on his hyper-evolution system, and eventually installed it into Shari's Omnitrix so she could go out and test it.

In The Fight Before Christmas Albedo used data from Sari Sumdac's Omnitrix sent to him through Shari's, along with information about their fight, to complete the Ultimatrix. Working on the device while mulling over his failures and setbacks and eating Burger Bot chili fries, Albedo finally completed his work, which he declared was even better than the Omnitrix. However, when he attempted to restore his Galvan body, he found that the Ultimatrix only had access to the aliens Ben Tennyson did which didn't include a Galvan, much to his disappointment. But when Vilgax noted he was having trouble, Albedo insisted that he didn't owe the warlord any favors for breaking him out, and that he just needed to find an Omnitrix with Galvan DNA to restore his original form so he could finally leave Earth. He then insisted that his motives did not align with Vilgax's and that any alliance they formed would break down almost instantly, but Vilgax pointed out that if he wanted Galvan DNA when Megatron finally struck, they'd have to work together.

During the Festival of the Stars Albedo followed Ben Tennyson he snuck to Acadeimos with Sari Sumdac to watch the Tournament of Heroes. Using "Negative Big Chill" to stay hidden, Albedo hovered behind Ben and Sari while they spoke with Bumblebee, waiting for the right time to strike

### The Siege

#### Aborted Timeline

Once the Siege of Acadeimos began, Albedo managed to locate Ben when he started fighting Decepticons as "Humungousaur" and revealed himself as he asked Ben if he provided enough of a workout to compare to the Highbreed. Insisting that Ben had much to answer for when he told him that he didn't have time for his revenge, Albedo was annoyed that he dismissed his work as a knockoff and switched to "Negative Humungousaur" to prove his "knockoff" could handle Ben's prototype. When his punch was blocked as Ben suggested Albedo get his anger out by ranting on the internet, he told Ben that he clearly didn't care about his pain by insulting his work before revealing that he had improved the Omnitrix by turning into "Negative Ultimate Humungousaur". Wondering what Ben had fought that was bigger than him, Albedo took an uppercut without flinching before punching Ben away, then leapt at him and started shooting his arm blaster as he chased after his target. However, he was easily tossed onto an Eradicon with ease by Sari's "Overavity" form, and when she told him to run he decided to switch to "Negative XLR8" and do just that, content with letting Ben getting himself killed even if he couldn't do so himself.

Albedo made it off the planet, and went on to succeed beyond his wildest dreams.

#### Revised Timeline

When the timeline was altered, Albedo's fate was altered, and this he did not step in during the Decepticon assault.

## Powers and Abilities

Albedo is highly intelligent, an ability he retained from his Galvan form. He was also able to use his small size to squeeze through small gaps, stick to surfaces in order to climb up walls, and possessed gills to breath underwater. However, most of these abilities were lost when he was trapped in a Human form, though he did get an increase in size.

To make up from his own lack of strength, Albedo has built his own Omnimatrix devices, genetic transmogrifiers that allow him to change form into several alien species. He has also unlocked the quick-change feature for his devices, letting him switch between alien forms directly, but still has the time-out function active to avoid getting stuck in a single form. He originally used a duplicate of the Omnitrix, but later modified it into the Ultimatrix, allowing him to run a program on the DNA samples that give him access to hyper-evolved versions of his aliens.

Albedo's selection of aliens is limited to those whose DNA samples were active on the Omnitrix used by Ben Tennyson at the points when he acquired them. These include:

* Negative Echo Echo
* Negative Big Chill
* Negative Humungousaur
* Negative XLR8
* Negative Rath
* Negative Spidermonkey
   As a Sonorosian, Negative Echo Echo possesses the ability release sound at ultrasonic frequencies, capable of destroying machinery, metal, and even block projectiles. This can also be used to create a force field of sound. In addition, he is also capable of duplicating herself many times over. These abilities can be combined to create a wall of sound, or trap foes in an echo chamber. In addition, Negative Echo Echo has enhanced jumping abilities, and enhanced strength compared to his size.   As a Necrofriggian, Negative Big Chill is capable of breathing an icy wind that can form ice and freeze over ice. He is also capable of flight thanks to his wings, and can become intangible and near invisible, and can even freeze objects he passes through. He can also form by firing icy beams from his hands, or even by touch. He also has cryokinetic control over the ice he forms. In addition, Negative Big Chill has enhanced strength, and he is also capable of eating metal. Furthermore, he also possesses enhanced durability, as well as immunity to hot and cold temperatures. He is also capable of breathing both underwater and in a vacuum. He also possess prehensile feet.   As a Vaxasaurian, Negative Humungousaur has incredible strength, allowing him to carry greater loads than most species, and put more force into his strikes. In addition, Negative Humungousaur is capable of altering his size, further enhancing his strength. In addition, Negative Humungousaur is highly durable due to his scales.

As an Evolved Vaxasaurian, Negative Ultimate Humungousaur is now covered in armour, making him even more durable than before. In addition, he now possesses arm mounted cannons that fire explosive projectiles.    As a Kineceleran, Negative XLR8 is capable of moving at incredibly fast speeds. Through this, Negative XLR8 is capable of running across liquids and scaling vertical surfaces, and can run fast enough in a circle to create vortexes of air. In addition, Negative XLR8 possess sharp claws that cut through some materials. Negative XLR8 is also capable of breathing in certain gases that would lethal to other species.    As an Appoplexian, Negative Rath has enhanced strength and jumping abilities. His primary trait, however, is his incredible natural aggressiveness, making him angry with even the slightest provocation. In addition, Negative Rath possess a pair of claw like appendages on the back of his hands, capable of cutting through various material, while also serving as natural melee weapons.    As an Arachnichimp, Negative Spidermonkey possesses two pairs arms, unlike others. With these arms, Negative Spidermonkey is capable of scaling and sticking to vertical surfaces and ceilings. In addition, Negative Spidermonkey is also capable of launching a strong and durable webbing at his foes, and can construct them into shapes such as slings. Negative Spidermonkey also possesses a prehensile tail and feet.
