Joseph Chadwick is the chief architect in charge of alien technology for the Forever Knights. He is the current Forever King. He serves as a minor antagonist in Ben 10: Alien Force and a supporting antagonist in Ben 10: Omniverse.
He is voiced by Tim Curry, who also played It, Hexxus, Ben Ravencroft, Big Bayou, Evil Manta, Maestro Forte, Kilokahn, Drake, Dr. Frank-N-Furter, and Emperor Palpatine.
David Kaye voiced him in "An American Ben-wolf in London", who also voiced Ultron, Megatron, Sesshomaru, Treize Khushrenada, Recoome in Ocean dub Dragon Ball Z, and Professor Ramone De La Porta.
Appearance[]
He was a slim man with black hair, a red scar on his right blue eye, and wore a white labcoat, grey slacks, and black shoes.
In the Omniverse, he wears a crown, golden Forever King armor with a red and white cloak, a Forever Knight emblem on his breast, and a beard.
He was turned into a greyish black-furred strong extraterrestrial gorilla-like mutant after drinking the Dr. Jekyll mixture, with golden spikes on each shoulder, five gigantic fingers and toes, and a ragged robe around his chest and around his waist. His golden Forever King armor is still on his arms and legs.
Personality[]
Chadwick is a wicked and crazy individual. He has no qualms about harming aliens like Ship in order to attain his objectives. He is entirely dedicated to the cause of the Forever Knights.
Chadwick's illusions of grandeur have become more widespread since becoming the new Forever King, and his obsessive desires have reached unprecedented heights.
Despite his temperament, he appears to have a sarcastic sense of humour, as he mocked Ben Tennyson and Kai Green by referring to the latter as the former's girlfriend and said, "Ah, young love," when they hugged after Ben saved Kai, much to their dismay.
Chadwick became highly power-crazed and slightly insane after consuming the Mr. Hyde Formula.
History[]
Alien Force[]
Joseph Chadwick first appeared in the episode "Pet Project", retelling the events of "Be-Knighted" to the Forever Knights. He then shows them an Anterrean Obliterator he had invented in order to travel to the Dragon's homeworld and defeat the entire species.
Unfortunately, its controls are too complicated for humans to handle operating. So instead, Joseph has his minions Sir Morton kidnap Ship in order to use him an Anterrean Obliterator alons with Princess Judith. He also inserts an inhibitor/mind control chip that allows him control over Ship turning his green stripes to red. He makes Ship attack Ben's Team when they arrive to rescue him, but Julie manages to appeal to Ship's inner self and frees him from the chip's control.
The ship then betrays and attacks the Forever Knights, causing the entire castle to collapse as he and the team escape. While Sir Morton, Judith and their men managed to escape the collapsing building, Joseph Chadwick was caught in the cave-in but was also able to survive.
Omniverse[]
Joseph Chadwick returns in "Return to Forever" as the new Forever King. He also allied himself with Will Harangue, promising to boost up the reporter's ratings on TV once more in exchange for a hideout in Undertown. There, they began collecting DNA samples of every citizen in Undertown and added it to the Highbreed Pulse Generator, a device the Highbreed used to use to obliterate other species due to their racism (Chadwick lied to Harangue saying the Generator alters DNA and will make the Undertown aliens humans).
After a failed attempt at capturing Jimmy Jones, Chadwick modifies the DNA scanner so that it also scans Omnitrix aliens and revert Ben human. After acquiring most of the Omnitrix DNA, Chadwick has Ben and Rook captured and tied up in their hideout. Jimmy comes to their rescue and, during an essaying battle, knocks Chadwick unconscious with a pipe.
Joseph reappeared in "American Werewolf in London", where he and his men capture Wes Green as well as getting his hands on the last vial of Dr. Jekyll's formula. After drinking the potion, Chadwick grows into a Godzilla-like alien hybrid in order to remove Excalibur from the stone but he fails to do so. He becomes enraged and causes a flooding to occur, prompting the Forever Knights to make a temporary truce with Ben's Team in order to escape the flood. At the end of the episode, the now mutated Joseph Chadwick emerged from the river dragging along Princess Judith and the damaged Forever Ninja (who accidentally shot himself with Rook's Proto-Tool due to holding it backward).
Joseph Chadwick was mentioned by Dr. Animo in "Animo Crackers" during the latter's constant bragging over his attempts to take over the world.
Powers and Abilities[]
Chadwick had some familiarity with chemicals and extraterrestrial technology prior to his metamorphosis.
After consuming Dr. Jekyll's potion, Chadwick gets the strength to rival Humungousaur's size and agility while also possessing ape-like dexterity. He can endure a cave-in underwater thanks to his incredible endurance and stamina.
Chadwick is resembles to the late Tony Curtis.
