Initially, Max was a foil to Vilgax, who was at first the only person who had ever defeated him. However, after he began his quest for the Omnitrix, Max's grandson Ben became his ultimate foil, making the two sworn archenemies for years to come. And while Ben is rather comedic and is usually looking out for others, Vilgax is always portrayed a serious character and only looks out for himself, with the exception of his own race.

The Battle of Xenon will be recorded in the history of the Plumbers as an important turning point for Ben and Gwen.

[pop-up 17] This later turned out to be true in Good Copy, Bad Copy with the introduction of Albedo.

The series begins five years after the events of the original series. Ben has removed the Omnitrix and returned to living a normal life, but he is forced to use it again to save his grandfather Max, who has been abducted by a xenophobic alien species called the Highbreeds as part of a plot to rid the Earth of human beings. Ben's age causes the Omnitrix to reboot, granting him access to new aliens along with a few from the original series. Ben is joined by Gwen and former enemy Kevin Levin as they fight the Highbreed's universal extermination plan. The Omnitrix appears in the first two incarnations of the franchise ( Ben 10 and Ben 10: Alien Force), but Ben had to destroy it and use the Ultimatrix in the Ultimate Alien series. The Ultimatrix had most of the same functionality as the Omnitrix, but would allow the user to transform the alien into its Ultimate Form (how the species and its DNA would evolve in a one-million-year simulation). In the final episode of Ultimate Alien, Azmuth takes the Ultimatrix from Ben and replaces it with the New Omnitrix–the original version has been a prototype. Vilgax is a humanoid creature with a face resembling that of an octopus. He has tentacles dangling in the front of his face, like a beard. His skin is pale green with yellowish spots on his face and tentacles. He doesn't have a nose or a visible ear. He has red eyes. Kit, Borys (February 20, 2013).

TPT-Moved: "Would you consider doing like, a little side piece for Gwen in her college years? She's away from Ben-" Man of Action: "Oh, absolutely. As a matter of fact, we're working with a Japanese anime company about giving Gwen her own series, so just follow Gwen without any Ben." TPT-Moved: "But Kevin will still be with her?" Man of Action: "Yeah, yeah, yeah... Kevin." TPT-Moved: "That would make Martha very happy." Man of Action: "There's uh, she's very popular in Asia, more-so than Ben." TPT-Moved: "Wow. Well that makes sense though." Vilgax is the main villain in the game, he recruits Zs'Skayr, Dr. Animo, Kevin 11 and many more. He sent a robot to earth and extracted DNA from the Omnitrix. He planned to send Earth into the Null Void. In the end he himself ends up trapped in the Null Void and with much of his body destroyed, but as some of his robots begin to heal him, he vows to Ben that he will return.Vilgax's drills damaged the Resolute's stabilizers, causing it to plummet towards Xenon. [pop-up 16] Throughout his entire pursuit for absolute power, Vilgax was not willing to let anyone or anything stand in his way. As such, he would get revenge on anyone who defeated him before. This shows that Vilgax can hold a grudge, most notably against Max and his family for the great number of losses he has suffered at their hands. Between this and his imprisonment in the Null Void, he has developed such a pathological hatred towards Ben that he wants to kill him as much as getting the Omnitrix. Of course, Vilgax's quest for the Omnitrix slowly became his secondary goal as his desire for Ben's defeat and/or death became even greater. Vilgax's name is combination of "Vil", a play on "villain"; and "gax", an onomatopoeia of a throat clear. [DR 2] Trivia [ ] In the Mandarin music video, the aliens are mentioned in Mandarin after the female singer stops singing.

Also in MAD, a reference to Alien Force was made with a parody of the movie Cowboys & Aliens, with many titles: "Cowboys & Alien Force", "Cowboys & Equestrians", and "Cowboys & Silly Bands". The reference was made at the beginning when Jake awakes with Ben on his side, but with Jake wearing Ben's pants and hat, with the Onmitrix on his wrist.
