The Negative 10 (CYOA)

**The Negative 10** is a group of ten villains who are attempting to dismantle the existing forces of justice in the universe.

## Members

* **Ashvallen:** Ashvallen was abused as a child, specifically citing being waterboarded at one point while five years old. As such, she became disillusioned from forces of justice, especially those that turn a blind eye to those in need like herself as a child.
* **Crysta:** Born offworld after the destruction of Petropia, Cryst a felt like an outsider her entire life, cast out by the society she was born into. The only person she considered "family" was Ashvallen, and even then, Ash was manipulative and emotionally abusive to her, grooming her to be cold and apathetic.
* **Liam:** Liam had always jumped between groups of criminals, most notably having been a part of Psyphon's group for a significant amount of time. Liam was let out on parole while Psyphon was still in the HQ, and thus he was looking for work. This is around the time he was found by Ashvallen and Crysta.
* **G. Banx:** G. Banx had been a lucrative business man for years on end, effectively being the role model for Argit's eventual leadership in undertown, despite G. Banx's own disappointment in him. The Galactic Gladiator describes G. Banx as being punished for immoral business deals that many other people of his status get away scot free while doing.
* **Prisoner 775:** Prisoner 775 had fought in a war on his homeworld, Abscondas. During this war, he took a ship and eventually found himself crashed on Earth, where he became trapped in Area 51. While trapped, he could not return to the war, which raged on and killed many, including his family. Prisoner 775 constantly blamed Earth's authority forces, particularly Colonel Rozum, and vowed to "settle the scales."
* **Zargo:** Zargo is a homocidal maniac of an Appoplexian. Unlike a majority of his species that have enough pride to cover up with pants, Zargo's mind keeps him from doing so, and just wears armor on his shoulders and back. He is insanely unpredictable. The Galactic Gladiator criticizes the punishment of Zargo's actions as him being punished for things he simply cannot help but do.
* **Malware:** Malware felt scorned from birth. He had been born incomplete, being a frail, skeletal being who absorbed technology instead of enhancing it. He became impatient with Azmuth's slow attempt at making a fix, and kidnapped Albedo and a Helix device, going to Galvan B to expedite the process. After a fight with Clock, Malware absorbed the Helix, which Albedo had set up to destroy Malware, only for Malware to become a more corrupted, red version of himself. Malware constantly felt inferior to all of Azmuth's other creations, such as the other Galvanic Mechamorphs, or the Omnitrix, due to how he believed Azmuth viewed him.
* **Dr. Psychobos:** Dr. Psychobos had a constant, one-sided rivalry with Azmuth, to the point of creating a predatory off-shoot of the Omnitrix known as the Nemetrix. Psychobos had attempted to undermine the Plumbers previously when he joined forces with the Incurseans.
* **Kolar:** Kolar lost his family to an unnamed killer, and was the one who took the fall instead due to a young, negligent Geralt Firefly. He was sent to the Null Void, and his family's killer was never found. When Kolar escaped, he went to go after Geralt, only to learn of his death. Taking care of the Plumbers, primarily with Clock and Taryn, would have to suffice.
* **The Galactic Gladiator:** The Galactic Gladiator is the most decisive Celestialsapien ever seen. They used to be the champion of Starbeard, but fell from grace after losing a Tetramand Trial by Combat to Clock in galactic court. As such, Starbeard stripped them of a significant amount of their power, and banished them from the Forge of Creation. The Galactic Gladiator used what little power they had left to plant the idea of the Negative 10 into the minds of Ashvallen, Crysta, and Liam before his loss even came about, allowing the plans of revenge against Starbeard to start early.

### Associates

The following are people the Negative 10 used in conjuction with their plans without actually being members of the 10.

* **Pakmar:** G. Banx was extorting Pakmar, seemingly forcing him to allow him to shakedown his shop for anything he needs. It was later shown that G. Banx had obtained a Tachyon Cannon from him.
* **Vulkanus:** G. Banx got in contact with Vulkanus to get hold of Element X, that way it could be combined with iron on Earth for a volatile substance for the Negative 10 to use.
* **Zomobozo and the Circus Freaks:** Zargo worked with Zombozo and the Circus Freaks to create a zombie clown apocalypse to distract the Plumbers while Prisoner 775 snuck into Plumber HQ to get the Malware virus to G. Banx.
* **Gorvan:** Gorvan had been threatened by members of the Negative 10 to forge the graduation documents of Ashvallen and Crysta, who had never even attended the Academy. He also forged Liam's rehabilitation documents, and was the way those three and Kolar got into the Academy later on. He would later be killed by the Galactic Gladiator for attempting to betray the group.
* **The Forever Knights:** In exchange for a means to fight a draconic species of aliens, the Forever Knights agreed to help the Negative 10. They delivered Ship to the group, allowing Dr. Psychobos to use him as a vessel to restore Malware's physical form. Kolar would then inject their leader, King Joseph Chadwick, with the Hyde serum, their "payment" for the job.
* **Ship:** Ship became an unwitting accomplice to the Negative 10 when he was kidnapped by the Forever Knights. His body would be infected with the Malware virus, and thusly Malware himself would take over and regain his physical form. Ship would not survive the ordeal.
* **Fistrick:** In exchange for powerful tech, as well as territory on Revonnah, Fistrick helped the Negative 10 obtain a large amount of Amber Ogia, given its incredibly versatile nature. Additionally, the job would take down Revonnah's small Plumber presence, consisting only of Wat-Senn and Rook Shar. Fistrick considered betraying his employers at the end, but was paid regardless, only to be apprehended by the end anyway.
* **Lieutenant Steel:** Steel was found by Ashvallen, Crysta, and Liam after the events of *If All Else Fails*. Given his weakened state, he was incapable of fighting back when the three ambushed him. He was seen spying on Molly and Clock as they looked after the Mount Rushmore Plumber Base. This later was shown to be vital to the Negative 10, as Steel instructed them as to where the entrance was. Steel had bargained with the group, that if he helped them, he wouldn't have to see another alien on Earth ever again. Technically, he got his wish, as he was killed by Zargo, Liam, Crysta, and Ashvallen, and thusly won't see another alien on Earth.

## History

### *If All Else Fails*

The first instance of the members being a team was seen in a credit scene of this episode. In this scene, Ashvallen, Crysta, and Liam ambushed an abandoned and injured Lieutenant Steel.

### *Universe v. Firefly*

G. Banx attempted to shake down Pakmar at the beginning of this episode, but was stopped by Clock. However, he was allowed to go free thanks to his lawyer, Chadzmuth. This episode also showed Clock using Alien X to defeat the Galactic Gladiator, setting him on the path to revenge. A credit scene showed G. Banx meeting with Ashvallen, Crysta, and Liam.

### *Arrested Development*

Ashvallen, Crysta, and Liam appear in the Plumber base. Molly Gunther explains that Ashvallen and Crysta are recent graduates from the Plumbers Academy, and are helping with Liam's rehabilitation. G. Banx later appeared in a credit scene where he was in a call with Vulkanus, setting up for the next episode.

### *The Galactic Enforcers*

Vulkanus arrived to join G. Banx in creating a volatile substance by mixing iron (dubbed the bycinthium alloy) with Element X. G. Banx is eventually captured, but Vulkanus makes off with the volatile substances. A credit scene reveals Prisoner 775 helped throughout the episode in secret, The scene also reveals that G. Banx let himself be caught.

### *Something Zombozo This Way Comes*

Zargo joined forces with Zombozo and his Circus Freaks to set up the zombie clown circus as a distraction. Zargo described his goal as "setting the stage," but refused to elaborate further. He would eventually escape through the Galactic Gladiator teleporting him out. The first credit scene revealed Prisoner 775 snuck into Plumber HQ when the Plumbers were zombified, and gave G. Banx a black device with a red circuitry pattern. The second credit scene showed Zargo yearning for the Galactic Gladiator's approval, though the latter's appearance is obscured, other than their hand petting Zargo's head.

### *The Final Countdown*

When most of the Plumbers were out trying to get the escaped prisoners, Prisoner 775 trapped Rook, Terry, and Fistina in a corridor as he and G. Banx went to the main computer room to take control. The trio managed to escape thanks to Fistina's disembodied hand freeing them, only for them to encounter the two villains in the main room; shortly after, Ashvallen, Crysta, and Liam revealed themselves to be involved. A fight began, with Clock joining in after sneaking into the HQ via pipes as Puffertrip.

As the fight ensued, G. Banx inserted the device given by 775 into the main computer, revealing it to be a Malware virus created by Dr. Psychobos, which was being projected to the other Plumber bases in the vicinity, such as the Plumber's Academy. Clock would eventually defeat the group as Thriller Whale, but they escaped thanks to being teleported away by the Galactic Gladiator. In the credit scene of the episode, Psychobos and Kolar criticized them for not destroying the HQ, as it was instead ejected into orbit, but the Galactic Gladiator (whose voice was heard without them appearing) assured the group that it was still a detrimental blow to the Plumbers regardless. They then assigned Kolar to meet with their informant, Gorvan, in the Plumber's Academy.

### *Basic Training*

Psychobos and Kolar spied on Clock's class he was teaching. Gorvan would later inform Clock that Ashvallen and Crysta had forged graduation documents, and that Liam's rehabilitation documents had also been forged, but feigned innocence in regards to knowing how it was done or by whom, though suggested Psychobos' involvement as Molly's report of the Plumber HQ attack included G. Banx mentioning Psychobos as the creator of the Malware virus. Clock agreed to keep in touch with info, and takes his leave, which was followed by Gorvan going to a hidden corridor to meet up with Kolar and Psychobos.

As Hope and Terry explored the maintenance halls of the Academy, Liam incapacitated the former, while Terry was taken out by both Crysta and Ashvallen. When Clock and Rook found out they can't get in touch with the others, Clock used Wildmutt to track them to Gorvan's office, where no one appeared at first, but Kolar soon attacked, knocking Rook out of the room entirely to focus on Clock. Kolar explained his story to Clock, and the two fight, with Kolar mutilating him as both Rabadger and Clockwork mercilessly, the latter with the claws of the former. During the fight, Ashvallen, Liam, and Crysta arrived, informing Kolar that there would be three minutes to escape once Psychobos activates the Malware virus. In response, Kolar slashed the neck panel of Clockwork before he and the others are teleported away.

Gorvan attempted to betray Psychobos and attack, but Psychobos was able to incapacitate him before activating the Malware virus and being teleported away. The credit scene followed up on this, with Gorvan's attempt at betrayal being punished by the Galactic Guardian compacting his body into a small cube of flesh and bone before the Malware virus caused the Academy to explode.

### *Pet Project*

In exchange for a way for the Forever Knights to wage war on a dragon race of aliens, they agreed to help the Negative 10 restore Malware's physical form. This would result in Sir Morton kidnapping Ship. Clock, Hope, and Julie Yamamoto tracked down the group to a nearby castle, where they stormed in to try to get Ship back. They were met with Crysta, Zargo, and Kolar fighting them, the latter of which focused his efforts on Clock and managed to physically best him.

The three were brought into the basement of the castle, where they were subjected to watching Dr. Psychobos implanting the Malware virus into Ship. The Galvanic Mechamorph absorbed numerous machines in the room, including the Forever Ninja, before becoming a revived Malware, in a new form. In a fit of rage and desperation, Clock tried using Decayed and Clockwork to reverse the events, but was thwarted by the Galactic Gladiator's reality warping.

Demanding to be paid, King Joseph Chadwick stepped in to stop the fighting. Kolar then grabbed him and injected him with the Hyde serum, the agreed payment, thus forcing him to become an enormous, ape-like monster, and the members of the Negative 10 were transported away.

The credit scene showed Lieutenant Steel spying on Clock and Molly as they were at the Mount Rushmore Plumber Base, a scene that had been seen at the beginning of the episode.

### *They Lurk Below*

During the Cyber Squids attack on the Bermuda Triangle Plumber Base, Zargo and Liam ambushed Clock's team to keep them busy while Dr. Psychobos and Malware worked from the shadows. During the fight, Zargo's claw was sliced off by Clock as TenTen. Clock would eventually catch up with Dr. Psychobos and Malware, and attempt to fight them off, but fail. Dr. Psychobos took the power source of the base and planted it into Malware, then replaced it with a volatile Crystalsapien crystal which caused the base to implode. The Galactic Gladiator taunted Clock by implying Revonnah was the next target.

The credit scene confirmed Revonnah as the target when the Galactic Gladiator gave the group their orders.

### *Bros in Space*

Prisoner 775 was sent to do dealings with Fistrick in Dr. Psychobos' place, as the latter had to remain to give Zargo a new claw. The specifics of what this meeting entailed were left unclear, though likely had to do with Fistrick's control over the Muroids. Later, G. Banx put Fistrick to sleep when the latter was considering betraying the group, but still paid him for getting a large amount of Amber Ogia for them. Kolar fought Clock, but was defeated by Marijuanodon, only to be teleported away by the Galactic Gladiator. Ashvallen would later destroy a significant amount of the Revonnahganders' Amber Ogia bounty from the Harvest, as well as kill Rook's father, Rook Da. Clock attempted to chase after her, but she leaped from a cliffside, falling into a portal made by the Galactic Gladiator, allowing her to escape.

The credit scene of the episode reveals the Galactic Gladiator's mindset of anti-authority, and in general, the reveal of them as the leader.

### *Clock 10 vs. The Negative 10: Part 1*

The Negative 10 appeared near the Mount Rushmore Plumber Base, where Lieutenant Steel guided them towards the entrance. All of their bounties were added together, creating a Tachyon Cannon powered by both the Element X/Iron compound and Amber Ogia, which was then absorbed by Malware who used it to blast open the entrance. Upon realizing no one was in the base, Steel turned to ensure his end of the deal would be held up and that he wouldn't have to see any aliens on Earth again. This deal was, in a way, held up, as Steel was killed by Zargo, Liam, Crysta, and Ashvallen, and thusly wouldn't see another alien on Earth. The group breaking into the Mount Rushmore Plumber Base alerted the Plumber HQ Satellite, and Molly immediately contacted all help, available or not, to Earth to help.

When Clock's group, comprised of himself, Hope, Terry, Rook, Taryn, Kevin, and Molly, traversed the Mount Rushmore Plumber Base, they found the Galactic Gladiator several floors down, in posession of the Sub-Energy, a powerful energy source obtained by the Plumbers during a conflict with the Caelisapiens. The rest of the group was also present, taunting the group about their consistent failure at stopping the Negative 10's plans. This eventually culminated in Rook having an emotional breakdown while declaring his revenge on Ashvallen, who paid him no mind, only furthering his desire to kill her.

Clock attempted to help, but was almost immediately attacked by Kolar. As their fights ensued, Rook managed to decapitate Ashvallen, which is when it was revealed that the Galactic Gladiator, aware of the group's potential desire to kill his lackeys, granted them immortality so that if they were to be killed, they would regenerate and remain alive. This also proved helpful for Kolar who was almost killed by interacting with Gory Hole. Ashvallen continued her mockery of Rook and his father's death by her hand, going so far as to manipulate him into thinking Clock was responsible due to his actions as Albacross, which isn't entirely untrue. Kolar would eventually leave Clock in a painful state and go to kill Taryn. When Clock attempted to attack him to save her, the Galactic Gladiator empowered his fist to knock Clock's soul into the astral plane for the two to "have a talk."

In the astral plane, the Galactic Gladiator explained their reasoning for making the Negative 10, including the sense of irony in the group being entirely species Clock had access to at the time. Each of the Negative 10 had their origins explained to Clock and why they fight to remove the forces of justice that exist, and let the far more "fair and free" anarchy exist instead. The Galactic Gladiator intended for this to change Clock's mind about the situation and let them continue, but it was unsuccessful. The Galactic Gladiator then allowed Clock to return to the mortal plane, where his group had retreated from within the Base, and the Galactic Gladiator was absorbing the power of the Sub-Energy.

The other nine members of the team realized that the heroes were attempting to evacuate Earth's population to Revonnah via the central location and portals created by Creative Mode, and worked to sabotage it. In the central location, Ashvallen knocked Albacross out of the sky, and distracted the group as Prisoner 775 and Crysta snuck up on the group, with the latter attempting to get a fatal blow on Clock. Terry jumped in the way, pushing Clock out of the way, and took the hit himself. Doing so slashed his side open as he tumbled off into the void below, which would later be revealed to lead to The Sympanz Realm.

In a fit of rage, Clock reunlocked Plantapocalypse to attack the villains, which proved more detrimental than helpful, as he ate several innocent civilians to get larger, and was ultimately burned back down to size by Ashvallen. Switching to Rath, he was then taken down by Kolar, who kept Rath pinned down long enough for Malware to damage the Omnitrix, resulting in it detransforming Clock and decoupling before tumbling into the void. Julie, in her magic armor, got between Kolar and Clock, only for Kolar to punch her and shatter her armor, knocking her into Clock and both of them falling off the bridge. Rook jumped off and caught them, using the Proto-Tool's grappling hook to try to swing back to safety, but Ashvallen damaged the grappling line with a fireball, and the three fell into the void.

G. Banx was revealed to have travelled through the exit portals to Revonnah, where he encountered his grandson, Argit, and berated him. Angered, Argit bit G. Banx's hand, and swallowed the Techadon wristband. Argit was then able to summon up Techadons from his stomach and have them attack G. Banx. G. Banx then fell down the cliffside and crashed into a batch of Amber Ogia; the juice all over him attracted a Muroid, which licked him before swallowing him whole.

Witnessing her friends fall, Hope suffered an emotional break that caused her powers to kamikaze, blasting Kolar, Prisoner 775, and Crysta into the void, while knocking Zargo and Liam through the exit portals to Revonnah. The platforms and portals shook and flickered, as the absence of the Omnitrix and Clock caused them to become unstable. Hope declared her revenge on Ashvallen, but the latter knocked her off the platform and into the void as well before escaping through the entry portals back to Earth with Malware and Dr. Psychobos. The portals closed before Molly could get to Revonnah.

On Earth, Ashvallen informed the Galactic Gladiator of what took place. The Galactic Gladiator sent the three back to the Null Void, and decided upon destroying Earth, as those who evacuated "were done with it." The Galactic Gladiator left in a vertical beam of light, destroying the moon as they left, and then remotely blew up whatever remained.

### *Clock 10 vs. The Negative 10: Part 2*

After falling into the void, Prisoner 775 attacked Clock, attempting to kill him whilst the two fell, but was unsuccessful as the two entered the Sympanz Realm.

The Galactic Gladiator, Ashvallen, Dr. Psychobos, and Malware appeared in their Null Void base. The Galactic Gladiator then summoned Zargo and Liam, along with the Muroid that devoured G. Banx before forcing it to regurgitate him. The Galactic Gladiator commanded their remaining seven lackeys to find the pieces to the Map of Infinity, given the Galactic Gladiator could not return to the Forge of Creation on their own; should they fail to find the Map pieces, they had orders to find Professor Paradox and force him to help instead.

In an unknown turn of events, the six did indeed manage to find and trap Paradox. While G. Banx theorized the potential moentary value of the Chrono-Navigator, Zargo and Ashvallen headed the interrogation, with Ashvallen asking him questions between sessions of Zargo sitting on his face. Dr. Psychobos aided slightly as well, referring to Paradox's tendency to use riddles or wordplay to answer questions or give hints indirectly. Ashvallen used this knowledge to realize the Chrono-Navigator could directly lead the group to the Forge of Creation, and Malware absorbed the device to use it in such a way.

In the Sympanz Realm, Kolar managed to find the unarmed Clock and bind him to a tree, where he had been attempting to kill him over and over, but was unable to despite the otherwise fatal injuries he had given him. Hope would eventually meet up with the two, and the group would learn that the Sympanz Realm was a looped infinite void; falling off the floating islands of the realm simply dropped someone back onto the island they were on. They also learned that magic, or magic to escape the Realm, worked differently, and wouldn't allow for a simple exit.

The trio would eventually meet Stingleherman, who agreed to help them return home, but only after they cleaned up, leading to an awkward sauna scene between Clock and Kolar, as well as Clock's ability to see orange returning. After this, Stingleherman led them to the Primordial Citadel, where Life appeared. She then summoned her children, Time, Space, Energy, and Order. Space summoned the other six fallen, and attempted to return them home, but failed. Energy and Order explained that the presence of negativity in the group was preventing them from going home, and they would need to fix that before returning, prompting Space to make one-on-one group therapy sessions.

Clock attempted to convince Crysta that no one truly belongs, and that in a way, everyone is an outsider, and she shouldn't let it make her feel any less than anyone else, and to move beyond Ashvallen's manipulation of her emotions; this was successful, and he caused her to consider becoming a true Plumber instead of just masquerading as one. Clock then gave Prisoner 775 a chance at redemption, even going so far as to allow him the chance to join his family since 775 lost his; although reluctant, 775 did eventually concede. Kolar was, ironically, arguably the easiest to sway. Clock's attempts at empathizing with him fell on deaf ears, and instead, Kolar was willing to make do with Clock's promise to not make the same mistake Geralt did.

With their negativity mostly gone, Space was able to send them back to Earth-7102 to the sound of a musical number done by Life's creations. Once back to their own universe, they found themselves on Galvan Mark II, so that the Omnitrix could be fixed. When the Omnitrix was fixed, it recalibrated on Clock's wrist, and Azmuth explained only a single transformation was programmed in, and that the device would finish its reset and return to a single available playlist upon the transformation's finish.

Professor Paradox, a past version of the one caught by the Negative 10, sent the group to the Forge of Creation. The Galactic Gladiator taunted the three defectors before Clock transformed, becoming K-Os and putting the Negative 10 into a state of totality petrification before generating a New Earth.

The Negative 10 that were petrified are currently being held on display in Hope's castle in Ledgerdomain. The other three are working to redeem themselves by helping humanity rebuild.

## Trivia

* The Negative 10 here is entirely different from the canon show's lineup of characters. Each is a member of a species Clock is able to become, an idea originally proposed by Derrick J. Wyatt had *Ben 10: Omniverse* done another season.
* The Negative 10's members are based on the ten main villains of *RWBY*, including the ones who were already existing canon characters.
	+ Ashvallen is based on Cinder Fall. Both have a fire theme, and Ashvallen's colors come from Cinder's feathery accessory on her outfit. Both have a short temper, and gained manipulative tendencies from their own experiences with an abusive childhood. Her Omnitrix equivalent is Heatblast.
	+ Crysta is based on Emerald Sustrai. Emerald and Crysta have gem themes, and Crysta's colors come from Emerald. Their outcast nature and being taken in by Ashvallen and Cinder, respectively, is also a parallel. Her Omnitrix equivalent is Diamondhead.
	+ Liam is based on Mercury Black in the context of the group. Both are proficient kicking-based fighters; Liam's Omnitrix equivalent, Kickin Hawk, is voiced by Yuri Lowenthal, same as Mercury.
	+ G. Banx is based on Roman Torchwick. Both of them have an orange theme to their design, and are business-focused criminals who do shakedowns in their respective territories. They also both have operated not just an underground crime network, but an *underground* crime network. His Omnitrix equivalent is Tranquillizer.
	+ Prisoner 775 is based on Neopolitan in the context of the group. The both of them are capable of hiding in plain sight, and both have heterochromia. A comparison between Prisoner 775's tail stinger and Neo's hidden blade in Hush could be drawn. His Omnitrix equivalent is ChamAlien.
	+ Zargo is based on Tyrian Callows. The both of them are insane killers. Zargo's color scheme is based on Tyrian's, even having a purple eye and yellow eye to reference both Tyrian's eye colors, yellow normally, and purple when using his Semblance or poison. Additionally, Zargo's left claw was severed by Clock, and eventually replaced with a cybernetic one made by Dr. Psychobos; this is also a nod to Tyrian's tail being severed by Ruby Rose, and having a replacement made by Arthur Watts. However, this nod was unintentional, given Clock's decisions led to this, and it was not an original part of his character concept. His Omnitrix equivalent is Rath.
	+ Malware is based on Adam Taurus in the context of the group. Both these characters feel scorned by the world, Malware by Azmuth and Adam by humans. Both also have red and black color schemes. His Omnitrix equivalent is Upgrade.
	+ Kolar is based on Hazel Rainart in the context of the group. This version of Kolar is given a backstory where his family died and he was blamed for it by negligence of the Plumbers; Hazel similarly lost a family member (his sister, Gretchen) and blames Ozpin. Like Hazel, Kolar is also a physical fighter covered in scars. His Omnitrix equivalent is Four Arms.
	+ Dr. Psychobos is based on Arthur Watts. Both are incredibly intelligent and arrogant, having a one-sided rivalry with a more morally correct individual (Azmuth and Pietro). His Omnitrix equivalent is Brainstorm.
	+ The Galactic Gladiator is based on Salem in the context of the group. Both are black-and-white themed characters who feel scorned by some sort of god-like figure (Starbeard and the Brother Gods) due to a form of "curse" put upon them, with the Galactic Gladiator being depowered, and Salem being made immortal. Their Omnitrix equivalent is Alien X.
* Gorvan's role is very similar to that of Leonardo Lionheart's in the story of *RWBY*, being the headmaster of an academy that forged the documents of three members (those three being based on the same three from *RWBY*), while also eventually being killed by the leader of the group after trying to get out of the situation.
* The first episode to tease the Negative 10, *If All Else Fails*, included nine of the original canon members, with the only exception being the Forever Ninja, who would later appear in *Pet Project*.
	+ *If All Else Fails* mentioned Driscoll attempted to get into the Mount Rushmore Plumber Base for classified reasons, which is a nod to the canon Negative 10.
* Despite the history Liam, Prisoner 775, Dr. Psychobos, and Malware have with Clock, and Kolar's former desire to kill Clock, none of the Negative 10's original grudges are directly tied to him. Ashvallen, Crysta, Zargo, G. Banx, and Liam all are against forces of justice, such as the Plumbers, in general, Kolar's grudge was with Geralt, Dr. Psychobos and Malware were against Azmuth, Prisoner 775's was with Colonel Rozum, and the Galactic Gladiator's was with Starbeard.
