An alternate take of the power dampener is that it uses magic, it would explain how the different ‘powers’ are nullified as it could be an enchantment and would explain the inconsistencies with the nervous systems or lack there of. Also the symbol kinda looks like the charms of bezel that hex and chamcaster use.
I believe Galapagus and Geochelone Aerio are naturally resistant to and/or fluent in magic though, no? I may be misremembering.. Either way, an interesting alternate take!
I Imagined that its sorta like a relaxant. its not that they can't use their powers but rather it dampens their ability to do so. can't break a wall when your muscles aren't able to move as well, now apply that to all of their "powers" Pandor raising his temperature, bivalven producing water, ect ect. they arent able to exert themselves.
I think is the best take on it I've seen so far. The idea that it makes it harder or impossible to do things that require a certain level of effort or strain makes the most sense.
@@douglysium9770 this even applies to Ra'ad, he can float but that's probably so basic for his species it might as well be walking and standing it requires so little effort, but you can also say he probably can't do his version of "running"
I mean it could draining/absorbing their powers since an Osmosian made it perhaps it’s inner workings are based on Osmosian biology so it can just nullify them like how Agreggor was able life force drain that one Guy or perhaps it’s just draining their stamina so they can’t break out
Omg thank you for saying exactly what I’ve been thinking. I’m only two minutes into the video and you have already covered exactly my problem with “power”. Like Ben 10,000 shouldn’t be able to just use the “powers” of other aliens because what may be a power to humans is not for other aliens. Plus, some abilities like flight for jetray do not make sense for Ben 10,000 to use in human form because he does not have wings.
I like to think of powers like art, what is a Power is based on the perception of it. Anything can be a Power. Strength beyond ours is called a Superpower, or a Power. If you can define light-receiving sught as a power, you can have an apartment go blind.
I mean it as if you can set high strength or the presence of strength natural to a creature within an entity as something to be dampened, some evil bastard could label being able to walk with Humanoid legs and feet as a Power, input that into a Power Dampener with a city range could devastate a city of Humanoid leg-used-for-walking beings.
Osmosian's would logically have devices and machinery that can limit aspects they can absorb. As of UAF there was an Order on Osmos 5 with laws about absorbing too much power. Naturally that would mean they have things to combat Osmosians whove gone mad after over indulging.
something to say about P'andor's suit...its composed of some sort of Lead/Taydenite alloy lead granting it the radiation suppression, while taydenite grants it the durability needed to withstand his heat levels edit: not to mention taydenite is the only thing that can damage his suit
That's pretty smart, i could totally see that works. Similar to (be example i can think of) Young Justice's inhibitor collars, its like a bio-EMP, but not preprogrammed. Although, Aggregor was kinda dumb putting it on the door and not the ceiling or having on every wall or something.
My take is that the power dampener, suppresses their tactile kinesis abilities magically. As that is the one thing they all have in common. Geo kinesis, aero kinesis Hydro kinesis, electro kinesis, and thermal kinesis are the powers suppressed. And in the case of the armadrillo, I do believe his enhance strength, comes from his ability to control the inorganic parts of his body. Wish it was as well thought out. Is your idea though.
Slight correction, Pandor's suit isn't lead. Otherwise, he would have gotten out of that suit when he hired people to try to break him out. Only taydenite, which is supposed to be the hardest thing in the galaxy was able to get him out. And last I checked, a steel circular saw, can cut through lead
I think Agreggor programmed the devicd to recognize some specific abitlities from the Androme 5 to be dampered, like Andrea's strength, abilities that could help them escape. It also answers how does the device recognizes what's a power and whats not. Besides that, I think your explanation was pretty good
Only way I can see this working is if was like a suicide squad style collar that will game end them if it detects them trying to using their power ecept on a wall that would like shoot them or something. Can’t just be one way since I don’t think NRG or Drillo have “mustles” but like you said they do have a equivalent that he could of specialty programmed. Reaks of plot contrivance tbh; Vilgax would of loved such tech. Their is definitely mind reading tech in this universe so all it has to do is react before your body can acutely execute the thought. Weird to me Amphibian can still float.
Honestly, I always thought it would have made more sense to just say that Aggregor put each of the Andromeda 5 in their own special restraints that limited their abilities. P'andor is already in a containment suit. You could have just said that Aggregor made it for him instead. As for the others... Bivalvan could have gotten gotten special cuffs that surrounded his hands, thus preventing him from firing his water. Give Galapagus weights around his limps that prevent him from being able to spin them at high speeds. Not sure what you'd for Andreus and Ra'ad, admittedly. IDK, just feels like that would have been a better explanation than an all-purpose "power dampener."
This is actually a really interesting video! I've been on a bit of a journey to watch your Ben 10 Discussion videos that I either really liked or that I've never watched before, so that I could like and comment on them (and hopefully help you, even in just a small way, because I know being as small a creator as you is not making the money you probably need, so, I'm hoping to help you with the algorithm. I may come along and comment as many things as I can on a few videos afterwards, who knows, we'll see). Anyways, this is an interesting video that I've never watched before now, but that I'm really glad that I have now!
I’ve always found the Power Dampener to be a dumb idea, considering that Aliens don’t technically have Unique abilities, Like bivalvan’s Hydrokinesis is a trait His Species has, Disabling what is literally a Biological Bodily Function would be like disabling a Human’s ability to Piss or Produce Saliva.
I thought the Water hazard species(I can never remember the names) got their water by absorbing it from the air since Ben uses the ability to Rust Captain nemesis armor
Maybe it could be something similar to the mutant gene from X-Men or meta humans in DC. Both of those have they're own dampers so maybe the aliens in the Ben 10 universe actually have a gene that gives them abilities. Ofcourse not every alien has/needs a gene for they're powers to work, perhaps like a large majority of aliens have one but the other half doesn't
Awww thank you for another wonderful comment, Kga! The next episode of the Ben 10 D&D Campaign will be coming out next week, not this week! While I won't spoil too much, I'll leave you with a little extra piece of info: "The Omnitricies are going to be used."
1:36 what? I thought all vaxasaurians were laser eye holders, just like how all humans have super strength. Afterall, our eyes take in light, and reflect back a image. That's like A laser projector, laser eyes. And atoms can't lift things, atleast I don't think so, so we have super strength in some philosophical science technicality term.
The custom edits you did for Ra'ad and Bivalvin have the wrong eye color. Completely irrelevant to the discussion but i would like to point that out anyway.

Although, Aggregor was kinda dumb putting it on the door and not the ceiling or having on every wall or something.
Yeah Aggregor wasn't the sharpest tool lol
Speaking of the Andromeda Aliens,how would you feel if “Escape From Aggregor” was a two-parter ?
I would have loved that! It's one of my favourite episodes, so more time with the aliens on board the ship/after arriving on Earth would be excellent!
Most likely, its gamma radiation is being used as this is unaffected by leadlined objects and can cause an EMP wave which can dampen brain waves
Really interesting! I love how you took time to explain such a small thing, i never thought that would be anything special.
Thank you, Gatto! I always find it interesting to look at the smaller stuff!

Well, Aggregor was the one who put him in the suit, so maybe it was designed to empower the EMP inside but required the external device.
Good idea!

@@OlliepopVT I can imagine making the gendo voice
Side note, NRG’s suit is very obviously not lead, it’s way stronger and would obviously melt off of pandor’s body because of its low melting temp.

You can just chalk it up to magic, I honestly wouldn't be surprised given that the thing seems to have a rune inscribed on it
That's also an excellent point! Could very well be!
There’s a problem with that in the fact Galapegus and his species has an immunity to magic that’s literally the main reason Agragor chose him
