 This article is about the Weaponmaster. You might have been looking for Inspector #13, his debut episode.
|
| “ | Thanks to your meddling, this entity is no longer Inspector 13 of the Techadon Empire. New designation- independent businessman. | ” |
– Inspector 13.[1] | ||
Inspector 13[DJW 1] is a villain and an ex-Techadon Weaponmaster. He decided to become an independent businessman after Ben meddled with his operations, and he realized that illegal merchandise yields maximum profit.
Appearance[]
Inspector 13 has a humanoid appearance with green skin, red eyes, and nasal cavities where his nose should be. He is always wearing a white, full bodysuit with various pockets and a utility belt.
Personality[]
| “ | We are simply the makers. What others do with the devices is not our concern. | ” |
Inspector 13 is cold and calculating with very little in terms of emotion. The one thing that altered his stoic attitude was Ben's remark that the Ultimatrix wasn't a weapon, which caused him to break out into mocking laughter. He believes solely in logic and does not have any concerns about the moral consequences of his business deals with other races, a disposition his weaponmaster peers seem to share.[3][2]
He does have a sense of pride, as he didn't want the other Weaponmasters to find out that he had been bested by a group of adolescents. He also has a strong sense of self-preservation as he immediately began requesting amnesty and cutting a deal after being arrested by the Plumbers.
History[]
Ultimate Alien[]
Inspector 13 made his first appearance in Inspector #13, tracking down Ben while he was playing tennis with Julie. He was able to capture Ben and hack into the Ultimatrix, causing it to malfunction. However, with the interference of Gwen and Kevin, along with Ben, he was ultimately defeated and sent back into space in shame.
After his failure to capture the Ultimatrix, he was removed from the Techadon empire. He now referred himself as an "independent businessman" who dealt in illegal weapons trading.
Omniverse[]
Inspector 13 made a cameo in Special Delivery as one of the bidders for a dwarf star at Psyphon's auction.
Inspector 13 was one of the main villains in The Ultimate Heist. However, due to the actions of Ben, Rook, Argit, and Albedo, he was eventually arrested by the Plumbers and was last seen pleading for amnesty.
In Clyde 5, he sold Liam the Mark 5 Nanoshift Enabled Exo-Armor. After Liam lost the device to Clyde Fife, Number Thirteen sold him some Techadon Robots to help him retrieve it. After that attempt failed, Thirteen sold Liam a remote control for the armor.
Powers and Abilities[]
Like all Weaponmasters of Techadon, Inspector 13 is highly intelligent and is able to create a variety of weapons, devices, and robots depending on the needs of his customers. Among one of his more complicated creations is the Mark 5 Nanoshift Enabled Exo-Armor. He also has a wide knowledge of many different species, including Osmosians; Sonorosians; Humans; Geochelone Aerios; and Anodites.[2]
Inspector 13 has very quick reflexes, as seen when he easily dodged Kevin's attacks.[2]
Thanks to his suit, Inspector 13 has some extra durability, as he was able to survive a clawing from Negative Big Chill;[1] and also seems to be resistant to electricity, as seen when Kevin as Nanomech's bio-electric attacks just drove him back and didn't destabilize any of his systems.[2]
Bodysuit[]
Inspector 13 wears a specialized bodysuit fully stocked with modular technology. All of his pouches contain pieces capable of constructing a plethora of weapons at his request (typically via voice command), either by sprouting from his suit[1] or by hovering in front of him. The jacks on his head allow him to interface with his ship's computer, and his goggles double as visors when doing so. His suit is also able to deploy specialized weapons as part of defense scenarios against specific opponents.[2]
These are all of the gadgets that Inspector 13 has produced from his bodysuit:
- Code Scanner[3][2]
- (as part of "Osmosian Defense 2")[3][2]
- Scanalysis Array[3][2]
- (as part of "Aldabran Defense Scenario")[3][2]
- Molecular Vise[3][2]
- Energy Sword
- Defense Orbs
- Dermis Excoriator[3][2]
- Radioulnar Decoupler[3][2]
- (as part of "Insectoid Defense Scenario")[3][2]
- Meta Shackles[3][2]
- Kinetropic Blaster
- Cortical Dislocator[3][1]
- Ice-Melting Grenade
- Close-Range Disruptor[3][1]
Equipment[]
Inspector 13 has built a small army of Techadon Robots, which act as his personal guard. Though, as Albedo noted, the craftsmanship of their armor and durability has declined.[4][1]
Inspector 13 comandeered a ship to visit Earth, during which he also assumed control of the Techadon Factory he was investigating.[2]
Inspector 13 outfitted his warehouse with some defenses, such as a Multi-Disposal trap floor.[1]
Inspector 13 used his creation, the Mark 5 Nanoshift Enabled Exo-Armor, to demonstrate to Liam its capabilities.[5]
Weaknesses[]
Other than his superior intellect and inventing skills, Inspector 13 does not have any special abilities or combat knowledge. Normally he has his Techadon Robots or his devices do the fighting for him in battle.[2][1]
Inspector 13 is relatively as weak and frail as a regular human being (if not more), as seen when Four Arms easily knocked him out cold with a single punch.[2]
Inspector 13 is vulnerable to get frozen by a Necrofriggian's ice breath. Also, his close-range disruptor is useless against intangible opponents like Necrofriggians.[1]
