However, if the alien that was secretly more powerful than alien x has already been shown who would you guys say it is? Don't add someone like atomix just because he's brutal. Aliens like toepick and clockwork i'd say that they count as being possibly more powerful than alien x since they do have clever ways to beat alien x if their ways are possible. We already know toepick can do serious damage to alien x as for clockwork it's hard to say since we don't exactly know what he's capable of. I understand if anyone's against my opinion but i think it may have been Chromastone. I have 2 rather good reasons. 1. Chromastone has powers we don't know of and we'll probably never know about them now that Dwayne McDuffie's gone. 2. When Alien X uses his powers, doesn't he project energy? Like when he was first used he shot out waves that moved the water crashing whatever back in time and to me it looked like energy and chromastone could and i'm not stating he definitely would, but there could be a slight chance chromastone was capable of absorbing that power. And i know a lot of you may refer to that time he disintegrated because the energy was too much, but maybe it was Ben's fault. Maybe Ben just doesn't understand Chromastone that well enough to use him properly after all he didn't even know chromastone could fly and he still and probably may never find out about other chromastone powers and it was quite obvious Dwayne McDuffie originally intended to show us the rest of his powers eventually.

I may have said this too much before but i honestly always saw Chromastone and Diamondhead as the main aliens in the Ben 10 universe. Those two aliens being the only two to be pretty much in relation and no other two aliens are that way. And both have such a huge potential such great capabilites with their powers. Even when you take them individually diamondhead was the only one able to beat malware AND vilgax - Those are probably two of the main villains to beat so many of Ben's aliens and yet be beaten both by the same alien. As for Chromastone he did far more damage to Dagon than ult. waybig ever did. Even when i considered how over-powered darkstar was i kept asking myself why Ben wouldn't use chromastone. I know a lot of you may find it odd to think of two aliens as the main aliens but to me it just made the show much better for me as i liked watching the show that way, it was far more fun to watch especially that awesomeness of them showing Ben suddenly use either Diamondhead or Chromastone and beating a powerful villain with them. Even if you think about diamondhead, if there had to be a main alien in the show you'd think he should be of the original 10 and Diamondhead is of the original 10. Dwayne Mcduffie purposely had vilgax (in vengeance of vilgax) beat two tetramands, a kineceleran, a pyronite, a galvan mechamorph (well not really upgrade but to me the way cooper was potrayed looked like it was just upgrade being shown) he had vilgax beat all four of those aliens. And those four aliens were known as the best five along with diamondhead of the original 10 aliens by most fans. Dwayne McDuffie to me was literally confirming diamondhead was the most powerful of the original 10. As for when i had first heard that there was an alien more powerful than alien x i thought it just had to be chromastone, and back then it was only the original series aliens and the original 10 alien force aliens and out of all of them it just had to be chromastone if it was actually any of them. I understand if anyone disagrees, but you could watch the whole show again, and look at it as if diamondhead and chromastone are the main ones, then it will change your view entirely... - Wow i said a lot but i've held this in quite long i would hold it in forever i guess but it's because Dwayne McDuffie is gone that i feel like i won't get that Ben 10 ending i thought we'd eventually get. So yep as soon as omniverse came i kind of lost hope as i'd hope every episode that Dwayne McDuffie was credited as the writer but i guess that hardly happens now...

Anyways back to the topic! So of any alien that was already shown, who would you guys say has a chance of being more powerful than Alien x or atleast beating Alien x? And remember, saying that you choose atomix over alien x because he proves useful for a fight doesn't count. I'm not thinking of physically powerful aliens i mean the aliens like toepick and clockwork as i mentioned earlier who could probably beat alien x in a fight. Do we need someone to beat Alien X? Are Celestialsapiens not good or powerful enough? Just a question but why would Dwayne McDuffie focus more attention on something like overpowering a character to beat an overpowered character?
