OmniGlitch FAQ
Before sending in a question, please make sure I haven’t already answered it here.
Q: What’s going on here?
A: OmniGlitch AU is an alternate universe in which a glitch causes Ben’s aliens to come out of the watch fully sentient when he’s ten years old. From then on, the aliens break off from the Tennysons, establish a base in an abandoned Plumber building near Bellwood and become heroes of their own. Ben replicates the glitch on purpose at age 16, causing the newer aliens to become alive and sentient as well.
Q: Which aliens appear in this AU?/Is [alien name] in this AU?
Every alien that appears in canon from the original series to Omniverse is present in this AU. There’s only one exception and that’s Arctiguana. He felt superfluous, so I left him out. The aliens debuting in the 2016 reboot are also not present because I really don’t like that series. I think its alien designs are boring.
Q: If the aliens are alive, does that mean Ben lost his powers/isn’t a hero anymore?
Ben is still a hero. The watch just doesn’t completely transform him anymore. He still has access to all of the aliens’ powers, kinda like that super-lame version of Ben 10.000 in the Ultimate Alien-episode “Ben 10.000 Returns”. But not as lame, because the Omnitrix still partially transforms him. For example, if he turns into Four Arms, he’ll grow bigger and get two extra arms to emulate a Tetramand’s powerset.
Q: What is [alien name] like?
I’ve made several posts detailing the aliens’ personalities. Please only send in questions about an alien’s personality if the base posts didn’t have the information you wanted.

Alien Force/Ultimate Alien

Q: Is there an actual story for this AU that I can read?
Yep.
The OmniGlitch Series on my AO3 - account.
I’ll post links whenever I upload a new part. But for those who didn’t get to the link in time before it got buried by newer posts there’s the Story section where I collect the links to every OmniGlitch-story I’ve written until now.
(Also the links to any fan-stories, with credit ofc.)
Q: What does the Tennyson family feel about this?
Ben, Gwen and Max, as well as the rest of the Tennysons see the aliens as family. To Ben, they’re sort of like really cool older brothers.
Q: Can I make fanart of this AU?
Sure you can!
Just make sure to tag me, so I can see it. I love seeing fanart of stuff I made!
Q: “To anyone who wants to answer...”/”To all the aliens...”/”To all aliens who are...”
No. If you want to ask one or more characters a question, specify. Asks like this are extremely annoying to get.
