First Appearance	Danger: High Voltage

Vilgax is a villain in Ben Omnitrix Wielder. Hemade his first reappearance in Danger: High Voltage. He is a mutated Chimera Sui Generis from the planet Vilgaxia.

Appearance

This version of Vilgax stands at 15 feet tall. He has his Alien Force color scheme and head, but he now has six facial “beard” tentacles and four more that grow from the back of his head. His voice changes depending on whether or not his steroid boosters are active. His body is now permanently fused with nanites, resulting in a cyborg physiology. His stomach, chest, and upper back are completely encased in red and black armor similar to his original cybernetics, but is now more form fitting. It includes circular energy conduit nodes that glow a faint red. The largest is on his chest, and he has three more on his stomach as well as two on his spine and one on the back of each hand. His armor also extends into wraparound pauldrons on his shoulders that resemble a combination of his original cybernetics and his Alien Force gauntlet. More technology is woven into his exposed flesh, forming gauntlets on his hands that dissipate up his forearms. Three large, rear-curved spikes of black metal protrude from each forearm, though these are retractable. Similar armor tech fills the space between his tentacle-like leg muscles and forms armor on his knees, lower torso, and lower legs.

Personality

Vilgax is ruthless, cruel, and power-hungry. His primary objective seems to be obtaining the Omnitrix, so that he can use it to take over the universe. He is known to hold a grudge; most notably against Max and his family. He is also known to be very manipulative, notably so of the Galactic Code of Conduct, in order to achieve his goals. After escaping the Null Void, Vilgax seemed to have gone partially insane, as he was enraged more easily and exhibited facial ticks. He appeared to have recovered by Alien Force. Vilgax's sense of humor has developed, and he now occasionally makes wisecracks during his battles with Ben. Despite this, he is still as evil as ever.

While stranded on Earth following his defeat at the end of Alien Force, Vilgax skillfully manipulates a group of humans known as the Flame Keepers' Circle into serving him. Upon discovering that his squid-like form resembles the alien of knowledge worshiped by the cult, he adopts the role for his own and manipulates his new followers into helping him escape the planet.

Vilgax's many defeats have taught him patience. After Ben acquired the new Omnitrix, he escaped to his home planet and bided his time for months as he plotted his revenge. During that time he hired bounty hunters and orchestrated various crises to draw the attention of his enemies away from himself, all the while arranging for the upgrade that would grant him the power to destroy Ben Tennyson. No one ever suspected his involvement in galactic events until he revealed it himself.

Despite his cruel and villainous tendencies, Vilgax does care about his own people (taking his role as Vilgaxia's ruler and champion very seriously), so much so that he is willing to put his own life on the line and use whatever other means necessary to ensure Vilgaxia's and its people's safety; even if it means begging his enemies for help. In addition, he has acquired a grudging respect for Ben, often calling him by his first name and holding his end of whatever bargains they have been forced to make with each other

Vilgax is highly afraid of Ma Vreedle, and there is a rumour that Ma Vreedle once made Vilgax cry

Powers and Abilities

Vilgax lost all of the powers he absorbed at the end of Ultimate Alien. However, at the end of Grand Theatre, he acquired the Nanite Capsule Upgrade used to cure himself in A Computer Virus. He had Malware, Dr. Phsychobos, and Psyphon modify the nanites. After he abrobed these nanites, his body mutated into its current form and he gained many powers.

• His entire body is fused with microscopic machines that grant him incredible strength and durability; a single punch can create a crater or shatter a Mt. Rushmore head sculpture. He can even lift and throw Way Big, who weighs in at 600,000 pounds.
• Vilgax’s durability is superhuman; he has survived falls through planetary atmospheres, point blank nuclear explosions, and other forms of extreme trauma. He can also survive in space and is immune to radiation. Vilgax can recover from hard hits relatively quickly.
• Vilgax is much faster and more agile than he looks, and he has enhanced reflexes that can keep up with the speed of XLR8.
• Vilgax has enhanced hearing, allowing him to pick out individual sounds from across a vast area even if there is a huge amount of background noise.
• Vilgax can fly at high speeds through air or space and, courtesy of his natural physiology, is an excellent swimmer. He is also able to jump to hyperspace, allowing him to travel across the galaxy even without a ship.
• Vilgax can project red energy beams from his eyes. These beams are quite powerful, and he can make them change direction in mid flight at will.
• Vilgax can project extremely powerful blasts of pale red energy from his hands, either as spheres or as sustained beams. He can regulate the strength of these blasts, with the most powerful ones being seen destroying alien warships with one hit.
• Vilgax can create shields of red energy to protect himself from attacks. These shields are even stronger than his original Shield of Ziegel.
• Vilgax can generate scarlet electricity from any part of his body, usually his hands, to shock anything he touches, channel electricity through conductors, or shoot it out like lightning. Vilgax can also project electromagnetic fields to move magnetically sensitive objects and disrupt machinery.
• Vilgax’s nanites allow him to hack into and control any machinery he touches. He can use this ability to download information into his own mind and perform other computing functions via a machine he has interfaced with or even modify the device.
• Vilgax's head brace contains powerful steroid boosters that, when activated, amplify his strength, speed, agility, and durability several times over. However, use of these augmentations is painful for him.
• Vilgax can use his nanites to rapidly construct objects or partially alter his cybernetics, making it appear as though he is conjuring things out of nothing. The things he can create are limited to dedicated blueprints stored in his memory. These are:
  • A trio of tubes on either wrist that can launch grenades
  • A metallic whip-tentacle extending from under each wrist
  • Various simple metal tools and devices
  • A pair of carbon-copies of his original sword. Each is extremely sharp, enough to destroy Chromastone, can superheat itself, crystallize the blade, and project energy bolts.
• As a part of his natural biology, Vilgax’s true form is a monstrous, octopus-like creature that he can turn into at will. In this form form he retains his technopathy and gains even more strength as well as stretchable tentacles.

Biography

Vilgax was taken into Plumber custody following his defeat at the end of the previous series. Unfortunately, he was able to escape with the help of Psyphon. Vilgax hid on his home planet and secretly plotted his revenge against Ben Tennyson. When he learned of the Nanite Capsule, he arranged for it to be stolen and brought to his castle, where he hired Malware and Dr. Psychobos to work with Psyphon to modify the Nanites. He bided his time as the Incursean Empire swept across the galaxy, conquering worlds. After their defeat at the end of Hail the Conquering Frogs Part 2, Vilgax's preparations for his own quest for galactic dominance were all but complete. His Nanite infusion project was completed in Secret Life of Vilgax, and he merged with them, resulting in his new form and new powers.
