I still remember an old Ben 10 commercial where Ben became Ghostfreak, drank some soda, and then turned invisible to see if his soda would be visible in his stomach.
@@oumar-michaelkonate5107 Ghostfreak’s outer layer is just that, a layer meant to protect from UV radiation. Under the skin, he looks exactly like Zs’Skayr as seen in Ultimate Alien.
What separated ghostfreak from the rest of his aliens was that he didn't acted as hero. Whenever Ben transformed into him, he beat his opponents in non heroic ways and his powers were more dark. Ik ghostfreak was a separate alien entity wanting to get out of the ominitrix but whenever he came out, things turned unpleasant
*"You have no idea who you're messing with".* This one is the most spooky and menacing of all of Ghostfreak's quotes. Because we can't know who was actually saying it. Was it really Ben? Or was it the Evil Ectonurite consiousness? If it's the latter, then the warning is many times more menacing than if it was just Ben. Because Zs'Skayr is a very powerful being. He is highly intelligent, a brilliant master planner, commands a horde of Ectonurite minions and is absolutely terrifying. He is not someone to be trifled with.
Ectonurites have always been powerful by default. Their ability to possess/control, let alone turn other beings into Ectonurite minion slaves is op as frick. Not to mention them becoming intangible and transparently invisible makes them sneaking up unwary victims 10xs even more frightening. 😨
@jourdanfarquharson4697 one running theme is that when Ben into various the personality is affected to a certain degree, with rath being the most drastic, which indicates that the genetics has a part to play as well some little detail in omnitrix that sets it up where you get the most likely personality and mindset of the species, so maybe it's a combination of zyskar coming out and Ben's personality being affected by his genes as well as just trying to taunt this guy, making this quote all the more layered
Sample was regained after Zs’Skayr possessed Ben in UAF. Chains were added in OV. But yeah, symbolically, it’s interesting. Plus it just looks super cool.
@Paulo SM That's why I never understood, why he refused so much to transform into Ghostfreak in that Omniverse episode. Like.....dude, you've ALREADY been a Ghostfreak with previous watch, well, IN those watch........huh. I never thought about how have he used Ultimatrix, when he was INSIDE Ultimatrix.
@@venom_spy437 the way I see it, in my head canon is that being inside the ultimatrix set up a rather unique situation where he could use ghost freak without fear
"You have _no idea_ who you're messing with." I've always been a fan of the moments in fiction where the hero acts more villainous or sadistic toward the antagonists for one reason or another, so Ghostfreak was always my favorite alien by orders of magnitude.
Such a shame Ghostfreak's design changed. It was genuinely unnerving, cool, and set itself apart from the rest of Ben's alien forms. The new design has more color and doesn't hit the same marks that made the original awesome. Edit: Yeah, I'm a goof! Obviously, the design change is meant to rep the fact that the transformation is fully under Ben's control now. It's really cool, honestly. I still prefer the old one tho! XD
@@Unifoseum It’s different, not as scary, but I like it. Actually more than the previous one. The older one looked…too simple, I guess. The new one is so cute, IMHO. Why is it so cute?
@@Unifoseum mind you, it's not a bad redesign, it's just that the previous one had more impact on me. The design that Ghostfreak has right now is brighter and a touch more colorful than the previous one, making it blend in just a little more with the other aliens. Though I guess since this one isn't as dangerous as the last one, I guess that makes sense.
I actually met Steve Blum at a convention a few years ago. He said something to me in Ghostfreak's voice and, not gonna lie, it kinda creeped me out a little. 😄
I like that white ghost ghost freak. Never thought he was this cool back then. But he's like the best when it comes to character for me. The white one not the green one. Don't know much about that version. I didn't like the changes much from the first look at the green version either. It's as if they decided to make him more kid friendly. But oh well...
It’s terrifying we humans can do, but when it comes to voices it’s nuts! ruclips.net/video/czsRZd2-6Ac/видео.html here is Kellen Goff showing a how to with FiddleSticks and honestly the voice is TERRIFYINGLY AWESOME!
@@CormDaCrow i referring to when he is separated from ben. Since the aliens are reflections theyed probably know more about themselves than ben does which is why ben cant draw out the full potential of some.
The white form is actually just a protective cover for the species since light hurts them. See how ghostfreak is able to roam in daylight and lit up areas, while later when it’s removed the tiniest bits of light burn him
3:28 I remember when the show had a "Behind the scenes trivia marathon" where they show insights and details about the show and episodes when it was still in development, this line here had stuck with me cause they had a qoute saying "You think this was Ben talking?" so it blew my mind when I realized that the foreshadowing was this far back into the series.
it was planned even before the series started, cannonbolt was originally one of the first 10 but then they came up with the idea of one of the aliens escaping the watch and becoming a villain, so they came up with ghostfreak and switched out cannonbolt
Even as a kid I was a goth/emo at heart and immediately gravitated toward ghostfreak. Completely blew my mind when he jumped out of the watch and became a recurring villain.
I love how special Ghostfreak is. Like, he’s the only one of the Original 10 that actually looks like a monster, he’s the first one (and only one until UAF) that can phase/go invisible (still is the only one that can go completely invisible, rather than partial or camouflaging), he’s freaky and awesome. And what makes the pseudo-dual-personality thing even more interesting? He seems to vacillate between two modes. 1) Cruel, aggressive, and with an almost sadistic enjoyment of toying with people using his…ahem…’darker’ powers. His possession, mostly. Also goes totally overkill in fights, or just does something totally unnecessary like showing off his tendrils just to freak someone the hell out. This came from Zs’Skayr. 2) Really freaked out by the other mode, more reasonable and heroic. He doesn’t use his possession all that much, mostly using his phasing, flight, invisibility, and claws/tendrils. This came from Ben. What’s great is that pretty much everyone, both in-universe and out-of-universe, is creeped out by Ghostfreak. Hell, *Ghostfreak* is creeped out by Ghostfreak. It’s so interesting to see how Zs’Skayr being trapped in the Omnitrix, and Ghostfreak not quite feeling like himself the way the others do, affects Ben mentally. Because it makes sense! Of course he’d be scared shitless of this guy! He’s literally ten years old and is essentially being haunted by what is essentially an evil ghost who wants to take over his body and can semi-affect him even when he’s not possessed. I mean, by like fifteen or sixteen he’s less scared of him, but that introduction…Zs’Skayr is terrible at several things, but being a terrifying bastard isn’t one of them. And honestly, Zs’Skayr won a pretty major victory against Ben in that regard. By forcing Ben to associate turning into Ghostfreak with feeling possessed and not in control of his own actions, he effectively mentally blocked Ben from turning into his (arguably) most powerful phasing transformation (NOT most well-rounded, just most powerful) for like six years, save like two occasions, and even then, he turned back basically as soon as he could. The only other individual that managed to screw Ben up mentally to that degree (and beyond, I’d say) was Malware, and that’s for a totally different reason. Fuck that guy. Fuck them both, actually. Y’know what? Fuck them both and fuck Albedo, ‘cause it’s *his* fault Malware is like that. I’d honestly consider them to be scarier enemies than Vilgax, by a long shot. Also, reminder that Zs’Skayr does, in fact, possess the ability to utilize telekinesis, but he only uses it once, for some reason. Maybe they just forgot he had it? And Ghostfreak never uses it. Ah, well, inconsistencies at to be expected in a series this long. I don’t blame the authors-that’s a lot of information to keep in your head. Also-also, random as hell, but why do I find Omniverse Ghostfreak’s voice so damn cute?! And why does Zs’Skayr use a scythe in Omniverse?! I mean, I know they removed the blade-looking claws from his design, but his claws are still sharp, and his tendrils are sharp too! …and why doesn’t he die in space? He can’t survive ultraviolet radiation without his protective second skin. So how does being in space not just not kill him, but actually make him stronger?! I’M OVERTHINKING THIS! I’M SORRY!
the part about telekinesis being used only once can be attributed to forgetfulness and the fact that there were different showrunners and creators that worked on each series of ben 10. the original was created by Man of action, then it got tossed to Dwayne Mcduffie for Alien force and ultimate alien, who hadn't seen the original series and only knew bits and pieces... before he was forced to add classic characters in alien force Season 3. And then got passed to i believe Jay Wyatt was his name, who was a writer on AF and UA for Omniverse after Dwayne's early and untimely death, then back to man of action for the reboot. obviously things get forgotten or changed when multiple people work on different parts of the franchise.
@@michaellarose4913 Indeed. That’s actually what I expected, to a degree. Thought someone else took over and that’s why pieces got dropped. Oh well, that’s the price of a long-running series.

Imagine youre the last member of an ancient alien ghost species, and your DNA goes to a powerful transformation tool used to replicate your abilities regularly and some 10 year old nick names your transformation "Ghostfreak".
@@InitialPCz’skar: always hated that name Ben: then why didn’t you make me say a better one Ghostfreak: oh you mfer once I get my claws on you Ben: what’re you gonna do posse me you tried that multiple times and failed Ghostfreak: imma take over your body through your transformation Ben: also tried that and still failed Ghostfreak: *flies away because he got pissed*
I think there's a scene where ben mentions he doesn't like using ghostfreak since he doesn't feel like himself or gets freaked out everytime he uses him, which is the reason why he's rarely used.
I was always kinda upset that the show got rid of ghostfreak/made him evil. Him and upgrade were my favorite aliens of the original series (with the latter rarely getting used). I think what made me love him was both that badass scene where he terrified the clown and also just because when I was a kid I really thought it was interesting that you had this clearly spooky & monstrous creature/powers that you would think as more of a villain and yet he was being used as a hero which I thought was such a cool concept & is something I still love to this day (I also loved his original design in general)
i think it would have been kinda cool if Ghostfreak was still conscious but remained trapped in the watch, but Ben gets him to calm down. Sort of a "i know this sucks, but we're stuck like this for . . . a while" situation. Maybe the others would have remained unconscious since Ghostfreak wasn't originally supposed to be in the watch, he was possessing another alien when he got sucked in. Ghostfreak could have been more of an anti-hero, and warms up to Ben.
@@loonflam8910 oh yeah, I honestly had a similar idea a while back of what if being used by ben to do good kinda rubbed off on him and he became sorta empathetic/developed a desire to be a hero and help people, so he allows ben to continue to use him for heroics but on the condition that he is used more often or takes the reigns sometimes
@@loonflam8910 That is actually kind of what happened in the series. Ghostfreak's DNA was scanned while he was possessing one of Wildvine's species, so he actually was collected by mistake
Well actually, Zs'Skayr speaks at 3:28. He says "You don't know who you are messing with.", that was canonically the first time that ben was ever taken over by him because right after that fight, Ben says something like "That was weird."
I love how the old Ghostfreak's design skin was so.... wrinkly make him look so creepy and specially cool when he morphed around since any wrinkle could serve to become part of the full body.
The reason is, that Ghostfreak in OG, sometimes Ben talks, but sometimes, Za' Skayr controls Ben. But in Omniverse, Ben got complete control over Ghostfreak so he just shows his playful behaviour.
ghostfreak I think is ben’s strongest alien in the original series. He can scare people to near death, dodge punches, and possess people, which can be useful if he possesses a strong enemy and makes them kill themselves, and exits their body at the last moment.
Ghostfreak was actually my favorite alien in the original series. Was a bit of a double edged sword whenever he became a villain. Was super cool but ultimately meant we didn’t get to see them as much.
Man some of these scenes hit different after you know what Ghostfreak is. Such a creepy villain with some long foreshadowing that creeped me the hell out as a kid and still does to this day. That's some damn good writing if you ask me.
Now that I think about it, ghostfreaks character design is actually pretty solid, pretty neat character! Now I wonder why I never really liked him as a kid?
Ghostfreak is quite probably the alien with the most personality of all the aliens in the Omnitrix, mostly because he's ultimately revealed to be an actual character apart from Ben. It would've been cool to see in Omniverse Ben using Ghostfreak to fight against Zs'Skayr. I can already imagine the exchanges of lines between them about the fact that Zs'Skayr was once Ghostfreak himself and that now he is fighting his replacement.
This alien Always freaked me the hell out something about the Classic one retaining his purple eyes always gave me the idea that Hes not completely Controlled by Ben
I remember cannonbolt was my favorite as a kid but having grown, ghostfreak and just the way Ben acted as him is so cool. He’s my new favorite alien. I think the zombozo part in the original series may be my favorite part of the series.
ghost face FIRST being introduced in the original ben 10 was legendary. he eventually got taken over by ghost freak to. like literally. he some how developed a mind of its own. those episodes made it seem like ben was just being used the whole time
I absolutely love characters like ghostfreak and Nightmarionne the eldritch horror contained in a simple form with tantacles that can rip you to shreds is such an amazing design philosophy
Ghostfreak always seemed uncanny to me because unlike the rest of Ben's other aliens, Ghostfreak had purple eyes instead of green. This always seemed to imply that Ben wasn't totally "in control" and that part of him was actually someone else... someone sinister and more evil.
I am so glad they Brought Ghostfreak back in Omniverse, he was one of my favs not that Zs'Skayr and his story wasn't amazing but I just wish they did they brought Ghostfreak back separately frim Zs'Skayr earlier than in cannon
Thanks to this series, i never got tromatized by any horror movie since my very young age, becuz i told my self that beeing the "scary monster" of the story was cool.
peope cried when ghost freak was gone but they brought him back in a new form which brought me back when i was younger every one was super happy with one of the most interesting aliens
Ghostfreak is pretty OP now that I look at it in retrospect, stronger than all the other aliens. Makes sense since he's an eldritch entity (and king) trapped in the watch.
"you wanna see something really scary?" proceeds to flash eldritch horrors of the abyss
That may be the best description I’ve ever heard. 🤣
You know, in Omniverse Ghostfreak actually used those tenticles to lift up a bus so how strong is he? 🤔
I wonder if this is how eldrick blast looks like in d&d

Ben: what’re you gonna do posse me you tried that multiple times and failed
Ghostfreak: imma take over your body through your transformation
Ben: also tried that and still failed
Ghostfreak: *flies away because he got pissed*
You know, Ghostfreak's density shifting is why he was my favorite alien from the OG series because he could dodge any attack.
Except the crabulon hentai slime attack.

Ghostfreak is pretty OP, sadly he wasn’t used a lot
Though if he was then the show would get boring
Ben always use 4 arms and heatblast
@@imnotachad9022 also because ghostfreak was sorta evil that he had to not use him
@@toonlinkssbb515 oh yeah right I remember some scene's where ghostfreak almost in Full control
I think there's a scene where ben mentions he doesn't like using ghostfreak since he doesn't feel like himself or gets freaked out everytime he uses him, which is the reason why he's rarely used.
@@simouniel867 Yeah but in Omniverse, Ben can use Ghostfreak whenever and however he wants
I was always kinda upset that the show got rid of ghostfreak/made him evil. Him and upgrade were my favorite aliens of the original series (with the latter rarely getting used). I think what made me love him was both that badass scene where he terrified the clown and also just because when I was a kid I really thought it was interesting that you had this clearly spooky & monstrous creature/powers that you would think as more of a villain and yet he was being used as a hero which I thought was such a cool concept & is something I still love to this day (I also loved his original design in general)
i think it would have been kinda cool if Ghostfreak was still conscious but remained trapped in the watch, but Ben gets him to calm down. Sort of a "i know this sucks, but we're stuck like this for . . . a while" situation. Maybe the others would have remained unconscious since Ghostfreak wasn't originally supposed to be in the watch, he was possessing another alien when he got sucked in.
Ghostfreak could have been more of an anti-hero, and warms up to Ben.
@@loonflam8910 oh yeah, I honestly had a similar idea a while back of what if being used by ben to do good kinda rubbed off on him and he became sorta empathetic/developed a desire to be a hero and help people, so he allows ben to continue to use him for heroics but on the condition that he is used more often or takes the reigns sometimes
@@loonflam8910 he's a ruler tho.
Same, ALL same.
@@loonflam8910 That is actually kind of what happened in the series. Ghostfreak's DNA was scanned while he was possessing one of Wildvine's species, so he actually was collected by mistake
You finally did the greatest quotes of Ghostfreak without Zs'Skayr. Please do the greatest quotes of Blitzwolfer, Snare-oh, and Whampire.
Poor freinkinstrike Lol
@@ilyassebenana3824 He already did the greatest quotes for Frankenstrike. Check his channel.
@@jediclonekag13 "Frankenstrike vs an army of zombie clowns ok why not
Well actually, Zs'Skayr speaks at 3:28.
He says "You don't know who you are messing with.", that was canonically the first time that ben was ever taken over by him because right after that fight, Ben says something like "That was weird."
Polteo.
I love how the old Ghostfreak's design skin was so.... wrinkly make him look so creepy and specially cool when he morphed around since any wrinkle could serve to become part of the full body.
Ghostfreak: "your going down clown."
I love that Ghostfreak's eye is purple, but every other alien has green eyes.
Not every alien’s eyes are green. Cannonbolt and Four Arms have yellow eyes for instance.
@@thatoneguy5343heatblast have no green eyes
Genuinely wish the show had kept the Ghostfreak form. It was one of my all time favorite aliens!
1:02
The way gwen change expression so quickly
OG Ghostfreak: Dangerous, weird, and truly scary
Omniverse Ghostfreak: "sToP hItTiNg YoUrSeLf"
True, Omniverse Ghostfreak is most likely because Ben is in full control.
The reason is, that Ghostfreak in OG, sometimes Ben talks, but sometimes, Za' Skayr controls Ben. But in Omniverse, Ben got complete control over Ghostfreak so he just shows his playful behaviour.
ghostfreak I think is ben’s strongest alien in the original series. He can scare people to near death, dodge punches, and possess people, which can be useful if he possesses a strong enemy and makes them kill themselves, and exits their body at the last moment.
No waybig is his strongest
Yep
@@ijionclifton9148 even way big cant harm ghostfreak
@@ijionclifton9148 They're talking about the original 10. Who do you think is the strongest in the original 10 then?
@@Unforgiving_Eye
My money bet is on Four Arms Diamondhead Wildmutt and Heatblast as the strongest of the 10 original classic aliens of Ben 10 OS.
Ghostfreak was actually my favorite alien in the original series. Was a bit of a double edged sword whenever he became a villain. Was super cool but ultimately meant we didn’t get to see them as much.
4:00 this scene made ghostfreak my favorite alien in my childhood
The OG Ghostfreak is an absolute menace.
The influence of zs'saskyr
I’m sad that Ghostfreak himself turned out to be evil. I actually thought out of all the aliens he was my favorite.
It was obvious tbh. There's a lot of time when Ben doesn't feel like himself whenever he uses Ghostfreak.
Ghostfreak was really dark and freak. Fav alien
When I was a kid this was my favourite, whenever he came out he always seemed like more of a threat than whoever he was fighting
3:52 Ghostfreak: Yes, sometimes I love this watch.
4:12 my favorite ghostfreak line
The "looooser" with the seashell always sends me 😂😂
When it comes to horror games, ghostfreak would fit pretty well
🎵Five Nights at Ghostfreaaaaaak's!🎵
Man some of these scenes hit different after you know what Ghostfreak is. Such a creepy villain with some long foreshadowing that creeped me the hell out as a kid and still does to this day. That's some damn good writing if you ask me.
Scares the scary clown.
Scary clown pops. "Whoa that even freaked me out" is probably my fav ghost freak scene
0:13 - 0:58 I remember seeing Ghostfreak and the Aliens live in concert. Classic. Glad someone else remembers as well.
Honestly ghost freak was very well made loved how different he was from other aliens
I love the the sound of ghostfreak's voice with the way Ben talks. Like these childish quips with that raspy voice, it's great.
Now that I think about it, ghostfreaks character design is actually pretty solid, pretty neat character!
Now I wonder why I never really liked him as a kid?
I love it when he talks as ghost freak 😁😊
its ashame ghostfreak was taken out of os so soon but the z'skarr villain arc was soooo good
"No way! Ninja old people"
Ghostfreak is quite probably the alien with the most personality of all the aliens in the Omnitrix, mostly because he's ultimately revealed to be an actual character apart from Ben. It would've been cool to see in Omniverse Ben using Ghostfreak to fight against Zs'Skayr. I can already imagine the exchanges of lines between them about the fact that Zs'Skayr was once Ghostfreak himself and that now he is fighting his replacement.
4:09 ghost freak be like: you want my scaring qualifications? here you go * does that thing * ya like it?"
So exquisite🤩. I think I'm falling in love with that character.😍
This alien Always freaked me the hell out
something about the Classic one retaining his purple eyes always gave me the idea that Hes not completely Controlled by Ben
This video's background music and style of editing gives me a strong nostalgia feeling
Original Gwen is such a beautiful written character
I remember cannonbolt was my favorite as a kid but having grown, ghostfreak and just the way Ben acted as him is so cool. He’s my new favorite alien. I think the zombozo part in the original series may be my favorite part of the series.
this takes me back. my favorite hero and I liked how his eye moved along his body.
The original ghost freak wasn’t even the same entity as Ben, he just was in the watch and was a genuine villain.
I remember having a crush on Ghostfreak as a kid....No regrets!
Uhhh...
Girls Never Fail To Be Weird
Wow, really?
@@thanhmultiverse3530 yeah I remember saying his voice was nice and things took off from there
Funny enough, I had a crush on another character Steve Blum(the voice of ghostfreak) voiced...
It was the green goblin from TSSM.
Every time Ben turns into that alien his lines become cool out of nowhere
I love whenever ghostfreak does the Beetlejuice act. The circus was never my favorite episode of all time, but it was up there.
Seeing ben turns to ghostfreak in omniverse again gave me chills because i get worried when "That" Ghostfreak returns until later episodes
"you put the hug in ugly"
- ben 10
Ug*
Ghostfreak always scared me as a kid. Even when Ben transformed into him and say silly shit it still gave me chills.
“The ultimate sneak peak for the Ghost with the most Freak” good beetle juice reference there.
4:20 *FATALITY!*
Ghostfreak wins
Flawless victory!
I love ghostfreak
Same.
ghost face FIRST being introduced in the original ben 10 was legendary. he eventually got taken over by ghost freak to. like literally. he some how developed a mind of its own. those episodes made it seem like ben was just being used the whole time
Classic ghostfreak was the best
1:02 'Loser' always make me rofl 😂
This is my favorite alien. Imagine being able to fly, be invisible and intangible. Damnnn
I absolutely love characters like ghostfreak and Nightmarionne the eldritch horror contained in a simple form with tantacles that can rip you to shreds is such an amazing design philosophy
"You don't have to get snotty about it, Ms. Know-It-All."
Ghostfreak.
Thats one of my favorite lines
Ghostfreak always seemed uncanny to me because unlike the rest of Ben's other aliens, Ghostfreak had purple eyes instead of green. This always seemed to imply that Ben wasn't totally "in control" and that part of him was actually someone else... someone sinister and more evil.
Green eyes were only a thing in af-ov
Like Zs'Skayr similar to Ghostfreak being an ectonurite with his own mind.
Diamondhead yellow four arms yellow xlr8 yellow wildvine blue ripjaws grey/white etc
Ghostfreak was my favorite of the original 10
You gotta do Albeado next
I am so glad they Brought Ghostfreak back in Omniverse, he was one of my favs not that Zs'Skayr and his story wasn't amazing but I just wish they did they brought Ghostfreak back separately frim Zs'Skayr earlier than in cannon
3:40 "Now you see me, now i'm Gwen"
Lol
Ghostfreak was Ben's Bully Maguire arc.
Ghostfreak is the GOAT🐐
I think you meant, GOATfreak lol
@@mariatavaresfernandes3058 great mixture 🐐🔥
My favorite not so hero like monster. He's not like alien x broken or anything, but he's still the right amount of broken. Absolutely love em.
GhostFreak was just Obito/LeMillion in the Ben10 universe
Ben 10 classic is the every reason why i didnt bother watching the laters
Ben was inside Gwen for a brief moment there
In hindsight, the Crab guy having a hard counter locked and loaded was quite impressive.
Ya know, now that I’m thinking about it, the concept of Ben 10 is honestly really cool.
@Sluglife donb I think I genuinely forgot that after a while. Like an ex-Christian being desensitized to Jesus.
"We have Danny Phantom at home."
It's nice that after ghostfreak died, he got a job as the creepy voice over in cod zombies.
Steve Blum you even mean?
❤ all your video's mate 👍.
whenever ben turns into ghostfreak I've always wondered how much of it was him and how much of Zs'Skayr influencing him
The best way of conquering your fear: Turn into the incarnation of fear itself.
This is probably the coolest of them.
1:44 did this guy just di the russian squat dance. SHEEEEEEESH.
The russians are coming
The what?
What the fuuu
@@wenbinx YES
Yeah and it's called "Balalayka"
4:13 Ghostfreak: Oh, now don’t tell me you’re afraid of old Ghostfreak.
We need creepy aliens like Ghostfreak back. Ben's roster in the reboot ain't cutting it.
dude i love ghost freak he was one of my fav aliens growing up
Even though ghostfreak turned out to be evil, he's still my number 2 alien
“Ben 10 VIOLATES the entire Omniverse for 4:41 seconds in his ghost form”.
Thanks to this series, i never got tromatized by any horror movie since my very young age, becuz i told my self that beeing the "scary monster" of the story was cool.
peope cried when ghost freak was gone but they brought him back in a new form which brought me back when i was younger every one was super happy with one of the most interesting aliens
Ghostfreak is pretty OP now that I look at it in retrospect, stronger than all the other aliens. Makes sense since he's an eldritch entity (and king) trapped in the watch.
