Personality[]
| “ | I lost my Ben and Gwen to that monster, I can't just sit here and let it run free! | ” |
– Maximilian.[1] | ||
Maximillian is more rugged and serious compared to his counterparts. He has no qualms expressing his disapproval of Ben. However, despite that, Maximillian still loves and cares for his family, even if they are from another dimension. He even was willing to help rehabilitate the Ben X and take him on a roadtrip across the Omniverse despite him being the one responsible for the death of Maximillian's version of Ben and Gwen.
History[]
Background[]
One day, Maximilian and his grandson encountered Alien X in Bellwood. Seeing how powerful Alien X was, Max asked Ben to warp away with him. However, Ben decided to take on Alien X himself. Ben tried to fight Alien X as Four Arms, but was defeated and executed while his Omnitrix was taken.
Devastated by the death of his grandchildren, Max swore revenge against Alien X. As he chased Alien X through different dimensions, Max's vengeance faded away when he discovered that Alien X was stealing Omnitrixes. Though he was able to heal alternate Bens and other bystanders should they have been injured, Max was always one step behind Alien X.
Ben 10[]
Maximilian first appeared in Alien X-Tinction, where he arrives in Dimension 12041.5 trying to prevent Alien X from taking that dimension's Ben's Omnitrix. However, he arrives too late. However he is able to fix Ben's damaged arm, and repair his doppelgänger's body. Max transports to his Rustbucket in space. He logs his recent failure. He then tries to plan a way to stop Alien X. Maximus searches for a dimension that Alien X hasn't hit yet. He finds a timeline that he hasn't been to, and plans to go there. His vehicle is attacked by parasites, and he's forced to destroy the R.V. Maximus arrives in Dimension 27998.3, where he meets Team Tennyson. He explains the Omniverse to them, and Alien X. He tells them about how Alien X killed his Ben, so Alien X appears once again, however, this time he manages to steal Ben's Omnitrix.
With Ben without Omnitrix and Maximus trapped in this dimension, they had nothing to do, but in the meantime Alien Force Ben appears with an interdimensional teleporter device, they team up and set up a plan to defeat Alien X, and come to the conclusion that they need more help, so Maximus goes after more Omnitrix wielders. When the Celestialsapien appears, Team Tennyson puts their plan into action, but to no avail. Maximus reappears with Ultimate Alien Ben. However, this was still not enough to defeat the villain, Ben decides to go for more help with Maximus and they bring: Original Series Ben, Omniverse Ben and Gwen 10, to join the battle.
After an individual attack by each Omnitrix wielder, they realize that the only way they would win is if they attacked all together at the same time. And that's what finally worked against Alien X, Ben even manages to take back his Omnitrix to join the others in the final attack. After removing all of Alien X's Omnitrixes, he reveals himself to be actually an Alternate Ben who lost his family and now wants to punish all Omnitrix wielders from the Omniverse, Maximus takes him to pay for his crimes, but promises to support him in his rehabilitation. And finally, with the villain defeated, everyone else returns to their dimensions.
