Neon (Universe 3008)

## Neon

* OS1 (RAT)
* OS2

**Neon**, formerly known as **Eon**, is the Omnitrix's DNA sample of a Chronian from the monolithic megalopolises of the planet Chronia, coming from Eon.

## Appearance

Originally Neon looked exactly like a younger version of Eon, wearing the exact same Chronian battle armor and pair of chrono-conductive gauntlets as his genetic donor, albeit, he did not have a helmet.

After being "quarantined" and cleansed of Eon's psyche his suit now resembles a combination of both the standard omni-suit and the chronian armor which he initially wore. He wears a dark-grey helmet with a purple retractable visor and a large grayish-purple collar. The chrono-conductive canals on his suit have stayed virtually the same albeit their glow is now a bit more vibrant. The Omnitrix symbol is located on the right side of his stomach.

## Transformation Sequence

The transformation begins with Ben hunching as his limbs and torso stretch and grow and the glowing patterns on Neon's gauntlets start to appear and envelop his hands. A collar grows around his neck and purple oval-like shapes emergence on his knees and shoulder. When the camera pans around Neon poses valorously, ready for battle.

## History

### Ben 10

* In Race Against Time, Neon's DNA was obtained when Eon inserted his own DNA into the Omnitrix. He then transformed Ben forcefully into Neon which retained much of his consciousness and personality. Neon was confronted by Grandpa Max, Gwen and the plumbers after his genetic donor had left to die quietly somewhere else. Ben succeeded in gaining control of the form and after getting rid of Eon's servants he transformed back to human. Enraged Eon came back and confronted Ben one last time before being hurled into the Hands of Armageddon and transported across the time-stream.

* In Destroy All Aliens, Neon was one of the geno-archetypes that materialized and terrorized Ben throughout the Omniworlds. He sat alone in a dark, monolithic chamber with only his bright purple eyes serving as source of light. His cape flew back and forth, flaunting his Omnitrix symbol, as if it were moved by the wind even though there was none. Then four lights as of those of the Hands of Armageddon ignited behind him as he unleashed a powerful energy wave, knocking-back Ben into "the abyss".

* In Trick Or Threaten, Neon defeated Skal and Gjau. Ben eventually overcame his fears of using him when he noticed that Eon's presence was gone.

* In Siege of Pyros: Part 2, Neon reappeared again when Ben regained the master control and was used alongside all the other transformations to fight Animo and Dr. Viktor.

* In Active Shock: Part 1, Neon and Eon attempt to enter inside the Omnitrix with the aid of Gwen in their endeavor to separate Zs'Skayr's presence and psyche from Ghostfreak's DNA. Their break-in was successful but Ben immediately detransformed during the process.

* In Old Gods, New Mortals, Eon and Ben as Neon trained in a field, teaching him the fundamentals of time and how to use his powers to a greater extent before Ben detransformed.

## Etymology

Neon's former name, Eon, is a time measurement that is roughly equal to a billion years or so.

Neon's name is a compound of the word "Neo", meaning new, and his genetic donor's name, alluding to the fact that he is, in a way, Eon reborn. However the in-universe reason as to why Ben calls him so is due to his glowy armor, a nod to his childish naming tendencies when it comes to naming his aliens.

## Trivia

* Neon is Ben's 20th alien.
* Eon is the first alien to debut in a live action movie.
	+ He is also the third alien to debut in any movie and/or special.
* Neon was the second alien to take over Ben's personality, the first one being Ghostfreak, however Ben was eventually able to use the form safely as the Omnitrix cleansed the "tainted" DNA sample.
* Neon is Ben's second transformation that comes equipped with a visor, the first one being XLR8, albeit Neon's isn't biologically bound as it is in XLR8's case.
	+ Contrary, Neon's voice changes when he has his visor on whereas XLR8's doesn't.
* Neon is the only known transformation whose DNA was not obtained by the Omnitrix automatically sampling a being's DNA upon touch.

## Notes

1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 Originally, within the Prime Universe's canon (prior to the decanonization of the movie), Neon was referred to, both on-screen and in the pop-up trivia, as Eon. Equivocally this can be interpreted as referring to his genetic donor rather than the transformation itself.
2. ↑ 2.0 2.1 Eon's suit prevented the Omnitrix from sampling his Chronian DNA upon touch. This was a safety measure meant to assure that it will not sample his DNA on it's own thus jeopardizing his plan to create himself a new, young body through Ben. Due to his powers over molecules Eon was able to retain his consciousness and personality in his DNA that was inserted into an empty DNA pod of the Omnitrix.
