* ''WesternAnimation/Ben10UltimateAlien'': In the Ultimate Alien future timeline, Ben 10,000 mentions that he was briefly President of Earth, "just long enough to defeat the third Vilgaxian invasion", but that apparently Gwen was better at the day-to-day stuff. In ''WesternAnimation/Ben102016'', we see her as the president in that timeline. As of the "current" future timeline by the end of ''WesternAnimation/Ben10Omniverse'', Argit seems to have become President of Earth instead, [[CorruptPolitician which probably doesn't bode well]].
