Biography[]

Background[]

According to Professor Paradox, Maltruant is bent on ruling all of time and existence. For achieving such a goal, he masterminded the past Time War. Fortunately, he was defeated by the end of this particular war. To ensure that he wouldn't be able to start another war and his followers wouldn't be able to find him and restored him, Paradox took him apart and hid the incapacitated individual parts of Maltruant's body throughout space and time. However, over time, Maltruant would slowly "pull himself back together," eventually reforming the majority of his body.

Events in the series[]

Maltruant first appeared when he was last seen being given the windup key he needed to repair himself after sending Subdora and Exo-Skull to retrieve it. He then hired Dr. Psychobos to repair him before Ben and Ben 23 encountered them and got into a fight, though ended up accidentally sending themselves to Mad Ben's dimension after Maltruant's Chrono-Cog activated. He and the rest would soon be accompanied by Mad Rook into finding Mad Ben and at some point before this, he was the one who taught Mad Ben "everything he knew", before having to appear before Ben and Ben 23 during their confrontation with the former. Maltruant had his minions take back the windup key from them before Mad Ben did, finally retrieving back what was once his own powers.

He then repays Psychobos by trying to turn him into an infant before he escaped, it was then Maltruant and his minions left while leaving Ben and Ben 23 at the mercy of Mad Ben himself. Throughout his travels, he and his minions went from having Eon gather Temporal Beast eggs for him, retrieving the Temporal Mainspring, and then later getting the Star Core and the Annihilaarg to complete his master plan when appearing in Ben 10,000's timelines. He would eventually fight the latter and his allies before getting the original Ben and Rook for assistance, though Maltruant escapes before being chased by Ben and Rook as they crash land into the 17th century.

Maltruant would then activates the distress signal to get Vilgax's attention as he pays him with a Chronosapien Time Bomb, not before having him deal with Ben (who turned into various aliens to seal his identity) that later explains his obsession for the Omnitrix as Maltruant makes his escape to the Contumelia's ship.

On the ship, Maltruant prepares to launch down the combined Star Core and Annihilaargh to have it erase the beginning of the universe before it could happen, that is before Rook distracted him as Ben and Skurd tried to stop it in time, only to fail at the last minute it erupted. However, as Maltruant thought he was victorious for a moment, it backfired when Ben had a failsafe in the Omnitrix as he turned into Feedback to absorb the Aninihilaargh's energy and shot it back onto Maltruant, causing him to explode and die in the process.

It is later revealed that Paradox had Maltruant trapped in an endless time loop where he is destined to fail over and over again at the hands of Ben Tennyson himself.

Personality[]

Maltraunt is portrayed as an intelligent, pompous, vain, and cunning egotist who desires nothing less than eternal dominion over reality. Along with this, he is shown to be a manipulative and treacherous sadist who enjoys toying with enemies and even betraying former allies once he no longer needed their help. He is also known to brag once he feels he is about to win which has led to his own defeat before; though he admits awareness to having a big mouth at least once. His extreme egomania is proven when he sees three alternate versions of himself when he sees the Contumelia, who resemble whatever holds the most influence over a 3-dimensional being's heart as a result of being 5-dimensional beings themselves.

Powers and Abilities[]

  • Time Manipulation: Being a Chronosapien, means Maltruant is a master of time manipulation and this has several applications.
    • Time Rays: These can either age a target to dust or completely freeze it in time.
    • Dimensional Portals: Maltruant can open up portals to wherever and whenever he chooses in the multiverse.
    • Time Shift: By rapidly shifting time, Maltruant can give off the illusion that he is in multiple places at once.
    • Time Freeze: Maltruant can completely freeze time, making it much easier to dodge his opponents attacks. He can also freeze time for selective targets.
    • Precognition: Maltruant knows exactly what is going to happen at the exact same time such as when he was able to know that a solar flare would hit the space station in 37.62 seconds.
  • Dowsing: Maltruant can sense exactly where a specific object is in the area and demonstrated this by knowing exactly where the dwarf star was on the space station.
  • Enhanced Durability: Maltruant was able to tank attacks dealt to him by Atomic-X
