Sydney is a villain who works with Maurice. He first appeared in The Filth.
Appearance[]
Sydney is a Caucasian man with a large build. His most noticeable feature is his cockroach head, which has black compound eyes, antenna, maxillary palpi, and labial palpi. He wears an orange zip-up hazmat suit with torn sleeves. Alongside that, he dons black boots and gloves.
Personality[]
Sydney shares the same taste of filth as Maurice. Although his speech is unintelligible to most, Maurice and Queen Bee have been shown to perfectly comprehend it.
Sydney has a passion for writing. He even published a few books, gaining fans such as Queen Bee. Although he often expresses his distaste for Sydney's writing, Maurice admits that his novels are a great source of income.[2]
History[]
Ben 10[]
In The Filth, he helped Maurice hijack the Rustbucket and took orders from Maurice to build the Magg-O-Net Monster.
In Bad Penny, Maurice created a helium weapon in attempt to steal the bank with Sydney, but Diamondhead used diamonds to weigh down everything, and the two were arrested.
In Max to the Max, he and Maurice dug up into the forest and found Ben. Maurice wanted to duplicate Four Arms to do less diggings, but accidentally duplicated Max instead. After being beaten down by numerous clueless Max clones, Sydney was arrested by the police.
In Bomzobo Lives, Sydney was briefly seen with Maurice as Max's new driving instructor (before presumably being beaten by Ben off-screen).
In Assault on Pancake Palace, Sydney posed as "The Executioner" in order to help fuel Maurice's machine and supply his pancake monsters.
In Half-Sies, he and Maurice were constantly arguing with one another through most of the episode, before being taken down and sent to prison after failing to blow up the mines.
In Buggin' the Buggs, Sydney was seen relaxing with Maurice at the Chrysalen Institute and was chased by Humungousaur. They then attempted to drain the institute's hot springs, and hold it for ransom. However, both he and Maurice were stopped by Slapback.
In Big Ben 10, Sydney attempted to steal Big Ben along with Maurice. After accidentally being blasted by Maurice's resizing ray, Sydney grew to massive heights and successfully stole the bell. Fortunately, Ben as an equally-big Heatblast was able to stop the two and Gwen used the ray to shrink them down to tiny proportions.
In Heads of the Family, after mistaking the Cranium Displacer for a shrink ray, Sydney ended up continually swapping heads along with Maurice and the others. Once it was destroyed, he and Maurice retreated.
In Tokyo Fun, Part 1: Big Bugg Bash, he and Maurice opened up the Super Awesome Extra Big Food Café, where they used a machine called the Grow-a-tron to artificially make food larger (although it remained the same in how much it fed the customer). After fighting Omni-Kix Heatblast and being trapped in the kitchen's freezer, Charlemange and Maurice helped him escape. Once Humungousaur convinced convinced Charlemange to rid himself of the Bugg Brothers, Sydney was thrown into the ocean.
In Ben in Rome, Part 1: A Slice of Life, he and Maurice overthrew the owner of a Pizzeria in Rome to distract the locals from their heist to shrink down the Pantheon and turn it into a hotel in Vegas. They were eventually stopped by Team Tennyson and sent to jail.
In Ben in Rome, Part 2: The Bee's Knees, it was revealed that following their arrest, Sydney was kidnapped by Queen Bee so that he would write a novel about her. However, Maurice believed he left of his own volition and felt betrayed. Ultimately, the two were able to make up and trap Queen Bee in a cell.
