Argit is the President of Earth. He is Argit's future self as of Omniverse.[note 1]
Appearance[]
Argit has become obese and bald. His face is more rounded. He wears an orange suit.
He used to wear the Dwarf Star as a charm on a necklace.
Personality[]
Despite his past shady dealings, Argit had gotten into politics and became the President of the Earth, thereby becoming the most important and influential person on the planet.
Argit retains the personality of his youthful self, although he has gotten quite arrogant due to his position as Earth's President. He is completely corrupt,[DJW 6] still has illegal businesses and still lies about them to Ben's team.
Argit has a soft spot for Ken, who refers to him as "Uncle Argit".
History[]
Omniverse[]
Argit appeared in The End of an Era as a special guest at the gala to mark Rook's promotion to Magistratus and thus Max's retirement. The gala was interrupted by an attack by Maltruant, Subdora, and Exo-Skull to steal the Dwarf Star.
Appearances[]
Omniverse[]
Season 8[]
- The End of an Era (first appearance)
Trivia[]
- Argit was designed by Derrick J. Wyatt.[DJW 7]
Notes[]
- ↑ The Ben 10,000 from Omniverse is stated to be Ben Prime's true future self.[DJW 1]
- This is evidenced in-show by the fact that both the Ben 10,000[2][1] and the future Dr. Animo[3] from Omniverse recalled characters and events from the present day. Chrono-Spanner also frequently visits present day with effects of his actions manifest in his present.[4] This would not be possible if these characters belonged to an alternate timeline.
- This was due to the crew's preference of the original Ben 10,000 over the Ultimate Alien portrayal,[DJW 3] as well as executives wanting everything to be more like the Original Series.[DJW 2]
- Derrick J. Wyatt made several statements to corroborate the story, expanding on what is known from the Original Series, such as the backstory for the Biomnitrix invoking the plotline of Ben 10,000,[DJW 4] and the defining tragedy in Ben 10,000's life having now occurred at the age of 20,[DJW 5] "shifted" from the original age of 15.[pop-up 1][5]
- The writing of the show also indicated this viewpoint, with Ben identifying the future Dr. Animo from Animo Crackers to be the same as the one he encountered in Ben 10,000, and other efforts made throughout the last few seasons to align the story with the future timeline.
- Derrick responded to the matter by saying: "Your 'plot holes' are irrelevant. Time isn't completely fixed, it's shifting. Events can be subtly altered. But Ben 10,000 is the future for the Ben Prime timeline."[DJW 1] This can be interpreted as a retcon. This wiki, however, considers the two Ben 10,000s, and by extension, the two futures, separate.
