Victor Validus
Victor Validus is the father of Elena Validus and appears in the movie Ben 10: Alien Swarm. Validus is a human & a Plumber. He was trained by Max Tennyson, who planned on passing command of the Plumbers to Validus & retire. However Validus was discovered stealing alien tech from the vault (a serious violation of Plumber regulations). Feeling deeply betrayed by Validus, Max did not believe him when he explained that the alien tech he stole was in reality an alien species known as the Hive. Validus was expelled from the Plumbers in shame. He continued his studies on the Hive, having at some point discovered he had become the host to The Hive Queen. Eventually he was taken over by the Queen, who begins planning to take over the Earth. The Queen is defeated Ben Tennyson using alien Nanomech, (their battle occurs inside Validus' body).

With The Queen gone, Validus reunites with his daughter & Max apologizes for not believeing him, Validus admits he was wrong to have tried to go it alone and realizes he should have gone to Max for help in the first place.
