How different would Season 1 be if Max actually got to the pod first like Xylene intended?

Why is Toepick’s face terrifying even to cosmic-level beings?
One of the darkest mysteries in Ben 10 is Toepick’s true face. Every time the cage opens, even powerful enemies instantly panic or completely lose composure. What makes this even stranger is that the series NEVER fully explains what they’re actually seeing.
Some theories I’ve been thinking about:
• It’s not just physical ugliness — it could be a psychic fear projection that forces victims to experience their deepest fears simultaneously.
• Toepick might belong to an ancient species evolved specifically for psychological warfare, where their appearance naturally attacks the mind itself.
• The face could exist beyond normal perception, meaning different beings see completely different horrors depending on their consciousness level.
• Since even extremely powerful aliens react badly, maybe the horror is partially cosmic or extradimensional rather than biological.
The concept art also makes it look like the mask is literally designed to CONTAIN something, not just hide it.
What’s your theory?
What do you think Toepick’s face actually is?
