Phil Billings

Phil is a corrupt Plumber, who was Max Tennyson's old partner and helped in defeating Vilgax for the first time in their Plumber careers. He is also the original user of the Nemetrix.

Early Life
Phil was originally a Plumber who served as Max Tennyson's partner during their first fight with Vilgax. He helped him defeat the galactic warlord by serving as a distraction for Max to glue Vilgax to a nuclear missile.

Ben 10
Decades later, he began releasing aliens from the Null Void to be paid to have them removed in order to get a quick buck. The Tennysons stumbled upon his scam and accidentally sent him to the Null Void in the resulting struggle between him and the Tennysons.

Ben 10: Omniverse
Phil spent the time between his first and second appearances fighting and warding off the Null Void creatures when he was captured by Dr. Psychobos, Malware, and Khyber where they forcefully used him as a guinea pig for the Nemetrix in a test run against Ben using Terroranchula. However, the test failed miserably, due to the fact that sapient life forms, like humans, cannot handle the savage mindset of the Nemetrix predators. Shortly thereafter, Phil was thrown back into the Null Void by Dr. Psychobos.



Phil later appears in Max's Monster as a mutated hybrid of human and Terroranchula DNA. It is revealed that "Phil" no longer lives in a human body, and has took on the ability to shift forms, due to side effects of using the Nemetrix during testing. "Phil" implies that the DNA altered him so much Phil's old personality was erased, or heavily twisted "There hasn't been a Phil in here for years"

Powers and Abilities
Phil has years of Plumber training to his merit.

As a Mutant/Terroranchula human hybrid, he has the strength, speed, and agility of Terroranchula, and is able to absorb energy.

He has the power to interfere with the Omnitrix in order to make Ben turn only into aliens with electrical powers in order to feed off of their energy.
