At first i thought that it was because, well, he's an evil version of our hero, but then I remembered Eon fits that roll a lot better... Rather than just some bad-guy that wears the face of our hero, he is actually a cruel and sadistic version of Ben. The difference is, nobody seems to ever talk about Eon.

Albedo isn't so much an Evil-Ben, just Kinda-A- Jerk -Ben. He isn't very threatening, he doesn't have much of a motivation beyond having a Lex Luthor-esque ego... I can't for the life of me figure out why people freakin' love him so much. Can someone please explain this to me? I guess people love the idea of Albedo only because he has all the powers that Ben has along with his extra intelligence. He might not be such a big threat in AF/UA but in OV he teamed up with Khyber and also tricked Rook for days only to steal the required components for his Ultimatrix, such plan requires an evil mind. Possibly he became more popular by the fact that the only reason for redesigning and the continuation of the Ultimates in OV is because of Albedo (I agree that Eon is pretty cool too).
