Alan Albright is a Human/Pyronite hybrid and a member of Ben's Team.
History
Background
Alan was actually born as a human who got sent into the Null Void under unknown circumstances. A man named Proctor Servantis used Kevin's powers and a Pyronite to create Alan's current form. He, along with Helen, Manny and Pierce formed a group, named Amalgam Kids and they were used by Proctor to do bad things. At some point their memories were completely wiped by Proctor. Alan is the son of a Plumber from whom he obtained the Plumber's Badge that he wears on his chest. Because the badge is visually identical to the Omnitrix symbol, Alan bears a strong resemblance to Heatblast, but is much thinner and smaller.
Alien Force
Alan debuted in Everybody Talks About the Weather, where he's being hunted by local authorities to be questioned about a recent strain of arson cases. Ben, Gwen, and Kevin get involved when the sheriff takes Alan's Plumber's badge and accidentally triggers a distress signal.
After a short aerial fight with Jetray, they both decided that the best way of getting the sheriff off of Alan's back was to figure out the source of the arson cases. Ben was able to figure out that what was earlier thought to be crop circles being burnt into the
Powerless
corn fields was actually circuit boards being built by DNAliens. They also discovered that when those circuit boards create weather towers, and then begin to lower the temperature, which makes it snow. Working together, Swampfire and Alan were able to destroy the towers. Alan agrees to help the sheriff hunt down the remaining DNAliens, but states that Ben can call him for help at any time.
Ben later called Alan in War of the Worlds where he assisted in the attack on Los Soledad where the Hyperspace jump gate is being built. After the war, Alan joins Helen, Manny, Pierce, and Cooper as pupils under Max.
In Vengeance of Vilgax: Part 1, Alan and the others were on their way to a training mission. However, when Vilgax landed on Earth, Max detoured to fight Vilgax. Alan was swiftly defeated by Vilgax.
In Above and Beyond, Alan and the others try to rescue Max when he is attacked by Ben aboard a Plumber research station. Alan is attacked by Big Chill. Alan is the only one of the Plumbers' Helpers that is not defeated by Ben and it is only due of the intervention of the rest of the helpers. He later became crucial to restraining Humungousaur using his fire powers in tandem with the draft created by Helen's speed to trap him in a wall of fire. After sacrificing himself, among the others, to prevent the station from crashing into London, Max arrives and explains that the whole scenario was really a training exercise to see if they are ready for the Plumbers' Academy, which they passed with flying colors.
Ultimate Alien
Kevin absorbing Alan's power
Alan returned in Absolute Power: Part 1, being attacked by Ultimate Kevin. Alan put up a good fight, but Ultimate Kevin defeated him with a very powerful electric shock and stole his Pyronite powers. He was almost killed by Ultimate Kevin but was saved by NRG. He reassures Alan that he's going to be fine, but Alan denies it as the others had been killed. Ben then promises to stop Ultimate Kevin.
At the end of the episode, Max confirmed that Alan and the other Plumbers' Helpers had their powers back.
