Heatblast, NRG, and Atomix would destroy their own DNA due to heat and (in the case of the latter two) radiation. Echo Echo is living sound (apparently) so he has no room for physical DNA. Overflow is living water in a mechanical suit (according to some unreliable sources). Clockwork is made of bronze/brass metal. AmpFibian can turn into electricity, which would destroy any DNA in the process. Same with Buzzshock. And Gravattack is a living planet. If being made of rock wasn't enough to prove he doesn't have DNA, his molten core would have destroyed it if he had any. Honestly, I'm not even sure if the concept of DNA is the exact same in Ben 10 or is different from real life, maybe Heatblast has organs surviving through fire, maybe Atomix and Echo Echo have skin underneath their outfits but we don't see them because they'b unusable in that state, maybe Clockwork has organs inside his gears, or maybe his metal is just rock-hard organic matter (which would explain how Diamondhead and Chromastone's DNAs work). We just don't know enough about aliens to confirm it.

I'm sorry if this doesn't make much sense, I just have a hard time believing that they would make more than one alien being theoretically impossible to have
