I meant it's "OK" in the sense that your criterion is sound.

Confederate does involve teaming up. If you mean actually joining enemy ranks - switching sides - then I can agree.

Ben, by turning into Alien X, can do anything. He could stop all evil everywhere just by spending a "few" hundred thousand years convincing Bellicus and Serena to do the same. He could save anyone just by turning into Alien X. Most likely at the cost of himself, sure, but I think we can both agree heroes (in a stricter definition of the term) are self-sacrificing. Remember The Ultimate Sacrifice? Ben was willing to die for the sentient Ultimates. He actually thought he would die. Yet he chose to sacrifice himself anyway.
