Personality[]
Helen is smart, brave, kind, nifty, and level-headed, though at times she usually tries to act rational and wise, making her mostly a mirror image of Gwen, as well as an older sister figure for younger Plumbers such as Cooper and Alan. She is devoted to Max, willing to help him when he was seemingly attacked by Ben.[6]
Helen shares a love-hate relationship with Manny. While Manny is usually hot-headed, aggressive and enjoys using violent methods, Helen is usually more careful and less aggressive, causing occasional arguments. On the other hand, she stated that they worked better teaming together than with other Plumbers and shows true concern when seeing him injured or in danger.
History[]
Background[]
Helen was actually born as a human. At some point she was taken to the Null Void. There, Servantis used Kevin's powers and a Kineceleran to create Helen's current form. She, along with Manny, Alan and Pierce formed a group, named Amalgam Kids and they were used by Servantis to do "nasty things". After they failed their ultimate mission, their memories were completely wiped by Servantis.
Years later, Helen became part of a team of young Plumbers apprentices, the Plumbers' Helpers, which included her, Pierce and Manny. However, they had little knowledge of the technology they used, and Pierce was sucked by a Null Void Projector they had confused with a disintegrator weapon. Believing that Pierce was dead, Helen and Manny continued the work, capturing many kinds of aliens they confused for criminals and sending them into the Null Void. Though part of those they captured were DNAlien, most of them were just innocent aliens.
Alien Force[]
After capturing a DNAlien in Plumbers' Helpers, their alien scanner pointed out Ben, Gwen and Kevin. Before Manny could start a fight with them, Helen stopped him and then tagged Kevin's car with a tracking device. Then they returned to their base, where Manny tried to excuse Pierce's "death" as a way to justify his actions which got Helen mad at him. Tomorrow night they tracked Ben, Gwen and Kevin down. Manny shoot a truck's wheel to prove his theory, causing it to ram into a gas station. As Ben, Gwen and Kevin save people from the fire from the gas station, Helen created a vortex around Gwen whilst Manny knocked Kevin out and capture him in hopes of leading Ben and Gwen to them. Ben and Gwen arrive to their base by taking the bus. After a fight where Helen and Manny almost sent Ben to the Null Void, Helen realized they were not the enemy and that they had been sending the wrong aliens into the Null Void. Helen declared that she and Manny had to go into the Null Void and rescue all those who weren't meant to be in there. Manny was against the idea, until she reminded him that it was what Pierce would do.
Helen reappeared alongside Pierce and Manny in Voided working with Max trying to stop D'Void, who turned out to be Dr. Animo. She contacted Gwen via a telepathic SOS. Then, along with the help of Ben and Max, they defeated him.
In War of the Worlds: Part 2, Helen, alongside Pierce, Manny and Max helped Ben defeat the Highbreed threat, once the threat was over, she became a pupil of Max.
In Vengeance of Vilgax: Part 1, she and the other Plumbers' Helpers were defeated by Vilgax.
Helen, along with Pierce, Manny and Alan, made another appearance in Above and Beyond where Ben was supposedly attacking Max, but it turned out to be a test. The Helpers were told that because of their defeating Ben, as well as their heroic actions in trying to prevent the space station from hitting London, they were approved for training at the Plumbers' Academy.
Ultimate Alien[]
Helen was mentioned in Absolute Power: Part 1 by Alan, where he explained Ultimate Kevin stole her powers like he did to Manny, Pierce, Dr. Viktor, and Alan himself. She got her powers back after Kevin was returned to normal.
In The Ultimate Enemy: Part 2, Helen appeared in a flashback.
Omniverse[]
She returned in Weapon XI: Part 1, when she and Manny were on Khoros taking Gorvan into custody. However, they were attacked by Phil and Leander. Helen battled Phil but was quickly defeated. Fortunately for her and Manny, Ben, Gwen and Rook arrived just in time and saved them. Ben took them to Kevin's garage where Alan explained that they were used by the Rooters and had their memories wiped. When she came to the Null Void to help Kevin, she, Manny and Alan were brainwashed by Servantis and were commanded to destroy Ben. In the battle, she defeated Zed and Gwen but was quickly defeated by Alien X who was controlling Alan's body. At the end of the episode she, along with the others joined the Rooters and was commanded to hunt down Ben.
In Weapon XI: Part 2, on their search for Ben, she mentioned that she will avenge her brothers' death on Ben. Later she helped a mutated Kevin catching Ben by restraining by grabbing from his wtrists, preventing him from using the Omnitrix. Just as they were about to destroy Ben, Kevin grabbed Servantis, destroyed the crystal on his forehead and used Feedback's powers to free them from his control forever. Helen then hit Servantis with her tail as an act of revenge for Pierce. She and the other Amalgam Kids then escaped the Null Void.

Etymology[]
Helen's name is wordplay on the phrase "hell on wheels", which is used to describe a person who likes to drive fast and/or recklessly. Ironically, Helen is more calm and level-headed than reckless.
Trivia[]
- Helen had the same sort of rivalry with Gwen as Manny had with Kevin.[1]
- Helen's real parents were killed in action.[DM 2]
- However, it is not known whether this is still true, considering that her past and the past of her family was retconned in The Rooters of All Evil.
- Helen's Alien Force appearance was designed by Glenn Wong, with color styling by Chris Hooten.[GW 1]
Notes[]
- ↑ In Alien Force and Ultimate Alien, Helen was stated to be born a hybrid due to having a Kineceleran parent.[1][merch 1] As such, she was ½ human ½ Kineceleran. However, this is changed in Omniverse, as it is revealed that she was born human and Servantis used Kevin as a conduit to fuse her DNA with that of a Kineceleran.[2][BTP 1] As such, the distribution of her human and Kineceleran DNA is unknown.
