Why does no one ever combine them?

They both have the exact same level of angst and horror potential (Danny being both alive and dead, possessed by his own ghost, and Ben wearing the Omnitrix as it wears him as well ending as something more than all of the DNA combined and every nanite and AI in the watch and something less, both equally inhuman and alien in nature and both just as immortal and everlasting).

Like imagine them meeting after the End Of All Things™ before Ben as Alien X remakes everything and starts the cycle all over again. Danny being what he is (since souls are immutable and indestructible) would be aware of the cycle but this time they could be friends and change the nature of the loom of fate.

Also like Paradox and Clockwork are right there too, they could both mentor their respective abominations (affectionate) while helping them deal with a neverending existence as they form pillars everlasting to uphold and remake and structure everything that ever is and was and will be.

Edit

Also like conceptually they're literally foils for each other.

That's not at all how it works, it's canon the only 3 things that changed when he reacted the universe was the Mr Smoothy sign, his new hoodie, and the grape flavor being different. Everything else was perfectly the same since he recreated spacetime after the Anhilargh literally unmade it.

The changes are only there because that's how the metaphysics of Ben 10 works. Any large scale reality warping has unintended consequences and that's why Vilgax wanted Ben to use Ascalon to unmake evil. Not only would it have unintentional consequences but it would directly violate the Multiversal Preservation Act.

Literally nothing in canon suggests they are anywhere near as bad as irl cops lmao.

They have therapy sessions for inmates and actively encourage them to get education.

Also like the Plumbers literally CAN'T be homophobic since there are entire species that are one gender lmao.

I hate shit like this.

Also that Galvan post is absolutely fucking insane. Like, legitimately.

YOU CAN'T USE A HEADCANON TO JUSTIFY HATING AN ENTIRE SPECIES.

You see how circular that shit is right? How ridiculous?

It's like hating all cats because you once had a dream one ate the fetus of your unborn sibling.

There's absolutely ZERO indication Galvanic Mechamorphs are discriminated against and like there's literally NOTHING preventing a mass exodus if they ever wanted to leave given the fact the entire species can turn any piece of tech into a FTL capable ship if they don't just mass teleport wherever the fuck they want.

Also from now on posts like this are going under the tag #delusional ben 10

Edit

What memes would come out of Ben's adventures in universe you think?

He's right though? They aren't in the same setting and none of the Bens in X Tinction could be Ben Prime due to a host of contradictions.

Don't apologize you did great and thanks very much!

I'm always happy to discuss Omnichip lol.

Such a interesting plot filled couple.

Can you imagine a small series of episodes where Elena goes fully insane?

How do you suppose he'd act as President?

Besides the obvious stuff of not tolerating Xenophobia/Racism etc etc.

Like obviously he'd have a ridiculous amount of good will/sway in cosmic politics and you'd have to be insane to try and attack Earth while he's on it.
