## History

### 10's Prologue

10 chased down the villainous Berry Buffoon, who had kidnapped a child and ran on stilts, and chased him into a hallway, transforming into Rath shortly thereafter. He pulled out his claws and slashed the Buffoon's stilts. The Buffoon juggled the child and threw balls at 10, missing his throws. 10 lunged to grab the child, succeeding and bringing him to safety. The Buffoon pulled out a snake balloon and tried to fight 10, hitting him. 10 cut down the stilts fully, and the Buffoon retaliated, missing his snake balloon strike. 10 shoved Berry Buffoon into the wall, and told him "Let me tell you something, Berry Buffoon! You're not going to eat any more organs, the only thing you're allowed to eat is bananas. Go back to the fucking circus." Buffoon broke free and missed with the snake balloon. 10 put his claws away, and punched him in the stomach, making the Buffoon feel too sick to retaliate. 10 hit him again shortly thereafter. Matter Man tried to snipe his kill, taking the Buffoon at knifepoint. 10 tried to tell him to stop, failing but figuring out his motive, money. He tried to offer to fix him, but Matter Man revealed that his leader was trying to fix him.

Matter Man accepted 10's offer to settle this like men, fighting it out while the Buffoon is incapacitated. The Buffoon was thrown to the side, and 10 pulled out his claw and punched him. Matter Man made a huge fist, fighting him back. 10 quick-changed into Demonsion, redirecting his massive fists back into him. A stretchy hand came to pick up the Buffoon, as Matter Man made a sword and got reflected. As Demonsion tried to make an escape, the hand grabbed the Buffoon, and Matter Man was sucked into a portal, not one made by Demonsion. Mindstretch was revealed to be behind the grabbing, and offered 10 the opportunity to join the Superiors while the real team fights Sheh L'Grath. 10 agrees, and Mindstretch carried the Buffoon to jail in a similar fashion to how the Buffoon carried the child.

### The Saviors of Sunset City

10 took Mindstretch's offer to join up as a temporary member of the Superiors while he left to fight Sheh L'Grath. When it was his turn to speak at Hopkins House for Gifted Individuals, he told the students not to do drugs, and told them that they were all special.

10 was present for the adventures at Bert Blythe's Super-Tailor Shop and Elm Tower Memorial Hospital, but did not do much of note at either place. When it came time to fight Hindsight and Hot Rod, he transformed into Spitter and spat at Hindsight, knocking him backwards into Void's wall of flames and leaving a pool of slime there for him to slip on.

While Void, Spinflux and Big Red went to fight Baghead and rescue Puck, 10 went with Oracle and the Alchemist to save civilians.

Later on, 10 stopped at Bert's shop to upgrade his suit before he went with the others to assist Short-Circuit in fighting the Moth Mogul. Right as the fight began, he transformed into Diamondhead, encasing Moth Mogul in a crystal cocoon.

10 went with Spinflux and the Alchemist to intercept a hijacked Amazon truck carrying a delivery of PS5s. He transformed into Fasttrack to catch up to the van, carrying the Alchemist on his back to allow him to throw a goo potion to slow the truck down. 10 did not do much else of note here other than punching one of the robbers at mach speed into a stack of PS5 boxes.

When the party found Hindsight missing, 10 transformed into Fasttrack and took Spinflux around the city to try and find him. When 10 returned, he transformed into Rath and brutally interrogated Hot Rod, putting him into a coma without realizing he had done so until after he transformed back to his normal form. After this, Void forbade 10 from transforming into Rath without supervision, which he agreed to. 10 transformed into Fasttrack to run Hot Rod to Elm Tower to get him the help he needs.

During the battle with Soulshaker, 10 transformed into Swampfire, not doing much of note during the fight other than lighting Soulshaker on fire. After the battle, 10 transformed into Fasttrack once again to run Soulshaker to Elm Tower.

During the pit stop at Chilly's, 10 bought an ice cream. When the Alchemist went on a gas station sushi-fueled cannibalistic rampage, 10 transformed into Diamondhead to prevent himself from being mauled.

10 later went with Big Red and the Alchemist to save the survivors of a burning family home, with 10 transforming into Big Chill to freeze the fires and add stability to the structure, all the while using his intangibility to escort survivors out. Afterwards, 10 extended the offer to train Curtis to his mother, who happily accepted.

During the fight with 10's nemesis, Matter Man, at Hader Labs, 10 transformed into Ball Weevil, but did not do much of note with this form during the fight proper, likely due to how quickly it ended. After Void's death, 10 was devastated, going with Oracle, Big Red and the Alchemist to the bar. Due to being 16, 10 instead opted for apple juice over any hard beverage, despite being in the presence of adult guardians. When the Alchemist returned with his gas-station-sushi-induced fluency in Japanese, 10 was by far the most shocked out of the heroes there that didn't know Japanese.

When 10 and the others returned to base, they were all shocked to see Void back in the flesh, but 10 seemed suspicious of his immediate return. These suspicions would go unanswered as of yet, as Void would soon be replaced by White Lion.

When the Eight went to stop the Aces from robbing a bank, 10 transformed into Diamondhead, personally using him to take down the Ace of Diamonds. Fitting. After this, 10 traveled with the others to Bert's shop, upgrading his suit to the middle upgrade tier. After this, Big Red passed the mantle of leading the Eight onto 10, putting his faith in a 16-year-old boy.

At the Old District Glass Factory, 10 oddly enough transformed into Swampfire, a fire alien, to attack Glassmaker, a man made of glass. He combined his efforts with Spinflux and the Alchemist to melt Glassmaker, but by the time they were successfully able to do so, 10 had already transformed into Big Chill to prevent himself from getting glassed. When Terraformer contained Glassmaker, 10 helped to solidify him and shatter him. 10 and Lion stayed back at base while the rest of the Eight handled a bomb threat, figuring out what to do with the trash bag full of Glassmaker shards.

10 later left to speak with Matter Man, asking how he was doing to a disgruntled response. He tries to get Matter Man to tell him what his name is, and in an attempt to convince him to do so, introduces himself as Leo, a 16-year-old. Matter Man yelled at 10 for cursing him with metal skin, much to Oracle's shock, questioning him about it. 10 told her that it was a bad altercation. 10 offered to fix Matter Man, and before receiving proper consent, activated his watch's genetic repair function, curing Matter Man of his affliction, and with Oracle and Big Red's help, allowed him to scan Matter Man with the Superiors' bio scanner. The scanner identified him as Ryder Fleming, a 19-year-old boy who was a missing tenant of Hopkins House.

Visiting Hopkins for more information, 10 tells Hopkins about how he cured Ryder, and 10 learns of the other missing students. 10 later asked Ryder why he worked for who he did, getting a response that his boss promised to fix him. At Elm Tower, 10 is devastated that Hot Rod still hasn't woken up, and later leaves to help interrogate Soulshaker. 10 transformed into Diamondhead and picked up Spinflux, allowing him to basically be used as a laughter-inducing siren. While Lion spoke with Soulshaker one-on-one, 10 arm-wrestled Big Red, having his arm torn off and destroyed by the hellspawn, only for him to grow a new one back.

Later, 10 uses Demonsion to make a portal to bring everyone onto Vituoso's blimp, and once they arrive inside of Prankstermind's bomb, 10 transforms into Brainstorm. This did not help him due to the incompetence of his teammates forcing the puzzles to be repeated many times over.

During the fight with Golden Boy, 10 mistransformed into Rath and chucked balls of dirt at Golden Boy. During the fight with Nolan Porter, 10 transformed into Swampfire and knocked Nolan's gun out of his hands with a vine whip. After the battle, he tampered with his watch, to which nothing seemed to happen.

During the fight with Lifeblood, 10 mistransformed into Toepick, not even getting to use his powers before switching to Fasttrack. He did not do much of note during the battle. During the fight with Blight, 10 transformed into Big Chill, phasing through a wall that Big Red later broke down. He also froze Blight in place.

During the fight with Flood, 10 transformed into Big Chill, attempting to freeze him. Later on, 10 was protected by Oracle when Flood's tidal wave came down. 10 was among the ones to hug Flood after Oracle calmed him.

During another visit to Elm Tower, 10 was devastated by the news that Hot Rod had died. He was told by Dr. Paean that heroes accidentally kill villains all the time, and that an important lesson can be learned here, not to let it happen again. Oracle hugged 10, patting him on the back to try and comfort him as he ugly-cried. 10 later visited Hot Rod's grave and decorated it with flowers adorned with a strange watermark before going with Big Red to visit the family of the man Blight killed. The man there, Steve Brown's brother John, celebrated at the news, calling his brother a dickwad for beating his wife. The Eight, 10 included, then celebrated the death of a terrible person.

While the remainder of the Eight went to question Hopkins about the Operator, 10 left with Spinflux to try and sneak into the basement. 10 transformed into Big Chill to phase through the floor, missing the moment where Spinflux erased all consequences of 10's misdeeds as Rath. Alone in the basement, 10 asked if anyone was there, to no response. He then quick-changed to Swampfire to light his finger like a match, using it to find various carpentry equipment. In one of the workbenches he found a note from a woman named Madeline, telling the reader to come find her. Questioning this, he later returned to the others and showed them what he found. When the Eight and Martin go into Soulshaker's room, they find another note from Madeline, leading 10 to conclude that they were for Rusty. 10 radioed Soulshaker to see if he knew a Madeline, and he responded that she was a coworker he worked with once, presumably with the Operator. When investigating Madeline's room, 10 found a locket with pictures of Martin and presumably Madeline in it, giving it to Martin.

After this, 10 tampered with his watch, with nothing happening.

When Spinflux bought several comics from the Archer Street Comic Shop, 10 asked Normalcy how he felt about the events of *Normalcy #87* being publicized. He responded to 10 by saying that he thought it was stupid that the Author knew about all of it, but was glad it was kept anonymized.

Later, 10 used his administrative role to delegate missions for the Eight to go on, prompting himself, Spinflux, Normalcy and Flood to stop a now-collapsing Hader Labs, while Oracle, Big Red, the Alchemist and Soulshaker would handle a nearby hostage situation. During the collapse, 10 transformed into Big Chill to freeze some of the wires to the ceiling to prevent further fires while Normalcy and Spinflux, currently fused together into Normalflux, started cutting apart the debris. Ascending to the top floor, 10 and the others witnessed the birth of Freefall's powers as she stabilized the reaction and reverse-engineered the mutant gene. After evacuating Dr. Nicholson and the rest, 10 tampered with his watch again, but nothing seemed to happen.

Later on, 10 decided that he, Oracle, Spinflux, Terraformer and Flurpman would escort the PowerBoyz through the paparazzi to get to their show. 10 transformed into Swampfire for this task, putting on a pair of sunglasses and becoming a full-on bouncer.

10 was present for the battles with Drasticman's evil side and the Ging Gongs, but did not get to do much in either due to how short each battle was, except for scanning one of the Ging Gongs and unlocking the form in his watch. After the remaining Ging Gongs fled, 10 tampered with his watch, but nothing seemed to happen.

After finding the Curator's first mural, 10 transformed into Brainstorm to investigate, later quick-changing into ChemiKill to unwrap the bodies in the Curator's exhibit, finding that they all had messages inscribed into them in cuts. After unwrapping and identifying all of the bodies, 10 tampered with his watch, unlocking Armodrillo.

Between this and the Eight's next major outing, 10 had to leave on some important business regarding one of his rogues Gene Plicer, a cloning scientist who had intent on cloning the Echelon Eight. 10 foiled his plan after getting jumped by an army of clones by transforming for the first time into Armodrillo, shaking, and demolishing the cloning facility, there was no sign of Gene's survival after that, and seemed like all the clones died from the attack.

During an incident involving Thornweaver, 10 escorted Jacob Quinn out of the forest by transforming into Fasttrack.

Later on, after the epic fight of White Lion versus Burning Man, 10 tampered with his watch, unlocking a new transformation: Magnetude

Later, 10 and the core Echelon Eight members find the Petitionary attempting to get people to sign his petition. 10 insults Petitionary for being bothersome, Petitionary reacts to this by swinging at 10 with his shovel, calling him a bitch while doing so, 10 quick-changed to Big Chill and phased through the hit. After, the Petitionary gets frustrated and proceeds to urinate on a nearby building, Big Chill freezes him while he doing so, prompting Spinflux, who spun Power 1: 100% Muscle Usage and critically slams the Petitionary's frozen stream into his throat, 10 quick-changes to Fasttrack and sends him to Elm Tower, 10 tampered with his watch again, unlocking: Ditto

After this, Lion, 10 and Spinflux help local heroine Mole fight known supervillain Void (not to be confused with Void Empyrean), 10 transforms into Toepick, then Ball Weevil. White Lion threw Ball Weevil at Void, bouncing off of the villain while tossing a goo ball at him, then quick-changes to Fasttrack to weave a hit.

Later, 10 nominated Normalcy as an core member of the Echelon Eight, due to Strongarm's absence, and the fact that Normalcy has been working with them for so long.

After Normalcy's promotion, the Eight see reports of fires inflaming a warehouse, when arriving 10 transforms into Armodrillo. Armodrillo notices and asks the new foe, Phantasm his motive but doesn't get a clear response, after Phantasm lights Big Red's cigar, the battle begins. Armodrillo uses Hydraulic Hustle and rushes Phantasm. after Alchemist and Holo-girl get sucked into the Black Well, 10 quick-changes to Big Chill to avoid Phantasm's attack, after a mysterious man who turns out to be Savant intervenes the battle and defeats Phantasm with the battle being too intense for the Echelon Eight.

After the Echelon Eight flee, 10 discovers that he should lead by example, he should be a better leader, he then tampers again, unlocking Blip.

Before the next major outing, 10 returned on the scene in swanky new armor Bert made for him, followed closely behind by his #1 fan, Kickbutt. Upon hearing about a botched execution causing havoc at a local prison, 10 called up Puck to ask what he was doing. Upon finding out that Puck was not doing anything, 10 invited him to fight off Circuit Breaker. During the fight, 10 transformed into Ditto, swarming and thereby clobbering the Petitionary for a majority of the encounter, hitting the griddy on him during doing so.

During an investigation of the death of two attorneys, 10 transformed into Brainstorm, noting the path of the blood splatters indicating that the sniper's bullet must have come from above. After phoning Holo-Girl, the bullet casing was traced and the cameras hacked, both not revealing much. 10 quick-changed to Fasttrack and patrolled the streets, not finding much of anything. 10 soon headed with Kickbutt and Big Red to pursue the sniper, now identified as the Silencer, and transformed into Magnetude for a brief moment, quick-changing to Demonsion after Big Red knocked Silencer to the floor, using him to portal himself and Kickbutt over to the next building. After Kickbutt spent a prolonged period ogling Silencer's breasts, 10 used a portal to deflect Big Red's disciplining smack back at him.

10 went with Oracle, Spinflux, Big Red and Terraformer to help local hero Neon Knight fight the Dragon, shouting "SLAY, KING!" to Neon Knight shortly after his arrival. During the battle, 10 asked for Oracle and Big Red to clear a path to allow him to execute Maneuver 19, using Spitter to spit goo all over the floor and quick-changing to Blip to electrify it. He dealt heavy damage to the Dragon with it. After Big Red went ham on the Dragon with his Right Hand of Doom, 10 used Blip's cutesy eyes to dissuade him from going further. 10 then scanned the Dragon, unlocking his species as a transformation he called Spitfire.

During the battle with Life-Form, 10 transformed into Armodrillo to fight the shapeshifter in a duel of giants, later quick-changing to Blip to dodge an attack.

While working with Owlet to stop a Monk Enterprises warehouse from being raided by the Aces and Abyss, 10 transformed into a new form, Tourniquet, to heal the Ace with the violated kneecap. During the fight with Paver, 10 transformed into Big Chill and froze the tar-based villain, rendering him inert and a non-threat. After Big Red turned Gridlock into swiss cheese, 10 used Fasttrack to take him to Elm Tower, despite now having Tourniquet in his arsenal.

When infiltrating a masquerade ball that was being infiltrated by the Masqueraiders, 10 danced with one of the men there, and upon seeing a bulge in the man's pocket, 10 jokingly asked if the man was happy to see him. He spun the man to Kickbutt, who discovered the diamond in his pocket. After Scavenger stole the man's diamond, 10 transformed into Fasttrack to pursue her, finding out that she actually stole a dummy diamond. 10 was present for the battle with Vector, but did not get to do anything due to how quickly the conflict ended.

After confronting Dollface about the Operator's location, 10 took the Aces' guns using Fasttrack, and when Dollface got knocked out the window, 10 used Fasttrack's speed to catch him.

When the Eight's suspicions were confirmed as to the Operator's identity, 10 went with Spinflux, White Lion and Kickbutt to stop Life-Form and Hindsight from wreaking havoc, being assisted by Gus and Hudson, two pupils of the House. During the battle, 10 blasted Life-Form as Eye Guy before quickly transforming into Brains and hitting him with a psychic blast. 10 later transformed into Magnetude, using him to magnetically toss a table at Life-Form, leaving him open to being kicked in the balls by Kickbutt, ending the battle.

After finding the Operator's location, 10 used Fasttrack to steal Martin away from his machine, before quickly transforming into Brains to try and mind-control him, failing miserably.

	+ He also includes aliens from the *Ben 10* fan comic *5 Years Later* and aliens from fan artist kjmarch.
	+ Blip in particular is one of FennekinGalaxy's fan aliens, who he was allowed to add thanks to Chris giving him, Grey, and Deeto the ability to each choose a transformation for 10, with Deeto adding Ditto and Grey adding Brains and Brawn.
* 10's name was originally a placeholder, though was never changed.
