Heard this during TheInkTank's full summary of the series timeline and wanted to do something with it

Hello! Here's the new weekly Kate alien! If anyone has a request on a specific alien, It may sway my decision on the next one I post, so let me know which one you all would like to see! 

The design was inspired by all three wildvines from each continuity! The body from the original series, the leaf scarf from the reboot, and the plant trap from dynamite! It was really fun to draw this!

Ripjaws never got any fusions in DNA Lab (not counting HeatJaws) so I felt like making some of my own (plus some bonus ones for fun)

Ash’s fusions inspired me to make some of my own

Wanted to go with a more unique approach than just “Alien covered in Pyronite skin”

Gwen AU. Who the best?

Let's be honest, Dwayne McDuffie is the really the creative base of the Ben 10 franchise. After the end of the Original Series, he was the one who took the responsibility to keep the show running. Regardless of which Ben 10 era is your favourite, there is one creative force whose impact on the Ben 10 universe can't be overstated. Let's just ignore the mistakes he made while working with franchise.

Under his direction, we as fans have enjoyed some of peak narrative arcs of the franchise like the Highbreed invasion arc. Some peak episodes of the franchise like, "Ben 10 returns part - 1, 2" the two parted "War of the worlds", the two parted final battles against Vilgax were specifically written by him.

Tbh, he was the one who gave us some peak episodes of Ben 10 Ultimate Alien like "The Forge Of Creation", "Map Of Infinity", "Fame"

Dwayne McDuffie passed away during the season 2 of Ben 10 Ultimate Alien. The franchise lost it's head show runner in the middle. His death has shifted the trajectory of the franchise right from Ben 10 Ultimate Alien. Like the rushed Dagon arc. As a fan of the UAF era I also hated that Dagon arc as it was heavily rushed and inconsistent. Besides Ben's identity crisis and him being a jerk with Julie.

Dwayne actually had great plans for the franchise. He was the one who actually gave the concept of "Omniverse" the aliens in Omniverse like, Feedback, Gravattack, Bloxx were his own plans. Also it was his plan to aligh Omniverse with the Original Series. Dwayne heavily followed matured storytelling and darker tone. With his departure, we witnessed a massive tonal shift in Omniverse. Then after Omniverse the timeline completely ended (maybe).

So I just wanted to say without Dwayne the Ben 10 franchise we know today would've been completely different. What do you think? Did he make Ben 10 a great show?
