| “ | Your grandfather convinced me you were a better choice. He said you had the seeds of greatness. Almost immediately I thought I made a huge mistake. Your brashness and immaturity made a bad impression. Then I saw you grow, witnessed your bravery and ingenuity using the Omnitrix in ways that never even occurred to me. Me, the smartest being in three galaxies! Arguably five galaxies. | „ |
| ~ Azmuth explaining to Ben why he let him keep the Omnitrix. |
Azmuth is the overarching protagonist of Cartoon Network's Ben 10 franchise.
He's the inventor of the Omnitrix, a device in the style of a watch that allows its user to transform into a variety of different alien lifeforms. After the Omnitrix crash-landed on Earth, it was found by a 10-year-old Ben Tennyson, who would acquire the device and later be dubbed the "Hero of Heroes" , saving the world countless times, a few times with direct guidance from Azmuth himself.
He was voiced by Robert David Hall in the Original Series, by Jeff Bennett in Alien Force and Ultimate Alien, and by the late René Auberjonois in Omniverse.
His Good Ranking[]
What Makes Him Admirable?[]
Background[]
- He gave his reality warping sword to Sir George so he could stop the Dagon's invasion of Earth on the Middle Ages.
- After accidentally creating the Galvanic Mechamorphs during an experiment on Galvan B, Azmuth and his people allowed the newly born species to claim the world they were created in as their own.
- After Azmuth dedicated himself to peaceful science, he created the Omnitrix in hopes of making a means for all beings on the universe to understand each other and live in harmony.
- The Omnitrix was also meant to work as an intergalactic Noah's Ark, being able to preserve and restore any species should they become extinct.
Original Series[]
- Despite initially living as an hermit, Azmuth was finally convinced to turn off the Omnitrix's self-destruct, saving the universe.
- He also gave Ben access to Way Big, a transformation he used to defeat Vilgax.
- Azmuth revealed he created the Omnitrix to make the aliens to grow closer. If a human can do it, then Azmuth has no reason why Ben should've wear it. He let Ben keep his invention because it always has been causing trouble.
- This also made Azmuth become more involved with the galaxy and the Plumbers.
- He restored Ben's parents to their normal forms after they were transformed into aliens.
Alien Force[]
- He returned to help Ben deal with Albedo, deactivating the Omnitrix copy from his former assistant and later reassuring Ben that he was worthy of the Omnitrix.
- Despite initially showing reluctance, Azmuth agreed to let Ben fight in the Highbreed Wars and even unlocked the Master Control for him.
- Azmuth also participated in the final battle and even followed Ben into the chamber of the Highbreed Council.
- Giving Master Control to Ben ultimately was the reason they were able to cure the Highbreed and stop the war.
- Despite being justifiably disappointed at Ben for hacking the Omnitrix he still explained to him how to recover his missing transformations.
- After Ben helped him deal with Vilgax on Primus, Azmuth allowed him to keep the Omnitrix even though he hadn't forgiven him yet.
- He gave Ben an idea on how to defeat Vilgax, who's now wielding the Omnitrix, after having a heart to heart with the young hero.
Ultimate Alien[]
- He informed the heroes of Aggregor's plan to obtain the Map of Infinity and told them the location of each piece.
- Despite being reluctant at first, Azmuth allowed Eunice to have a free life as an assistant at Primus.
- He saved Ben when the Ultimate Forms of the Ultimatrix became sentient and tried to kill him, he also freed the Ultimates from the device.
- He informed Ben and his team about the situation involving the Dagon and Sir George.
- After Ben defeated Vilgax and the Dagon, he retrieved the Ultimatrix and gave Ben a new Omnitrix, saying that the young hero proved himself worthy of using it.
Omniverse[]
- He helped defeat Malware and the Faction during their attack on Galvan Prime.
- He ressurected the Galvanic Mechamorphs after Malware destroyed Galvan B, thus reverting a genocide.
- He saved Ben and helping him infiltrate the Incursean's forces during their invasion on Earth.
- He defeated Albedo on two separate occasions during his attempts to get revenge on him.
- He gave Ben access to Atomix.
What Makes Him Inconsistent?[]
- He is too neglectful and ignorant to be Near Pure Good.
- On the mission to get the pieces of the Map of Infinity, Azmuth disregarded all the people Ben's team saved, only focusing on the bigger picture and not caring for what he called trivialities.
- He initially refused to help Ben, Tetrax and Myaxx at first to stop the Omnitrix's self-destruct mode, due to believing there is no longer any good in the universe, which would have destroyed the entire universe, and only does so reluctantly. This action allows him to pass the heinous standards of the show.
- Despite having mellowed out over the course of the franchise, Azmuth can still be a jerk.
- He also tends to boast about his intellect from time to time, though not to an exaggerate degree.
- His treatment of Albedo and Malware can be seen as questionable.
- While Albedo deserved to be imprisoned for his crimes and being trapped in another body was his own fault, Azmuth turning him into a 11-year-old was simply too petty.
- While Azmuth was working on a cure for Malware and was clearly busy, he still named the incomplete Galvanic Mechamorph "Malware", which is very distasteful.
- He hired a bounty hunter to capture the Unitrix, after he realized the device sampled human DNA and became a woman named Eunice, Azmuth still tried to forcefully take her into storage, disregarding her status as an individual, having to be convinced to take her as his assistant instead.
