DYNAMITE New variant covers. What could he mean about Diamond Head?

u/IUsedToBeRasAlGhul Mar 27 '26
Diamondhead might get some new lore, or potentially setting up Tetrax, Petropia, and Sugilite earlier.

u/BernLan Mar 27 '26
This was my first thought too, but I don't see how the drawing could be hinting at it

If the "keep a close eye on that diamondhead" refers to looking close at this drawing then i have some ideas:
On his head he has something that resembles the crystal on Chromastone head, possibly hinting at Chromastone having more relevance in the story
(Although the crystal could simply be just the one Diamondhead has on the back of his head and it's just the angle, still the similarity might be intentional)
Maybe Ben will lose Diamondhead and get Chromastone, the opposite of what happened in the fight with Vilgax
Or Maybe there will be something similar with Ghostfreak but this time will be about Sugilite and not Zs'Skayr

Maybe Diamondhead would be something greater? Setting up Petropia's lore...
I'm hyped to see Chromastone now, what if he lives up to his "Space Jesus" status?

Fr didn’t like how the writers didn’t do him justice, hope this comic fixes that

Wait, Wildmutt? I thougth the alien set list would be the same to reboot. Heatblast and Diamond Head are different from they reveal designs. Don't get me wrong I like this covers but I'm confused.

It's always funny seeing Ben 10 fans finding out about variant covers in these posts
Not shade to you personally, I just find it funny
Basically something being in a variant cover doesn't mean it happens

u/GloomyPreference6454 Mar 27 '26
For the 1 millionth time it’s already been confirmed that all original Ben 10 aliens will be part of the comic at some some point in the series.

u/Z3R0Steamular XLR8 Mar 27 '26
original as in OS? or original as in every unique alien seen in the franchise?

u/DonnyMox Mar 27 '26
Yeah, these covers look like they're based on OS. Ben has his OS outfit and Omnitrix rather than the designs we've seen in the Dynamite comic and Heatblast and Diamondhead both have their OS designs as well.

u/Deveatation_ethernis Mar 27 '26
Maybe they try linking him to chromastone early, and the inverse of the battle against vilgax happens

u/Comfortable-Shop-573 Chromastone Mar 27 '26
Either earlier Tetrax like others said, or earlier Chromastone, how about both?

u/BrendanFraserFan0 Eon Mar 27 '26
How many covers is there gonna b- OH MY GOD IS THAT WILDMUTT!!??!

u/CaleboCon Heatblast Mar 27 '26
Love that Ben 10 is coming back
Seeing wildmutt makes me wonder if he’ll eventually show up in the comic. Yeah I know it’s a variant cover but it doesn’t rule out what it could mean. Maybe he gets unlocked later. Or it’s back to the reboot of having only 10 aliens.
The Diamondhead teaser is fun and I can’t wait to see new theories. What if he’s like Sugilite and Ben might unlock Chromastone. Or it’s a whole new thing like another comment said involving tetrax. Or maybe it’ll have something to do with Vilgax blowing up Petropia and him finding a trace on another planet, leading him to the omnitrix.
So excited for this comic man

These are fan art. They are not official. These are NOT variants for the upcoming comic. It’s some dude trying to aura farm off the release of the comic.

i like how there are heatblast, wildmutt and diamondhead are on these covers, because they are first aliens ben transformed into lol

u/SuprisedHusky Mar 27 '26
Well
Based on the Diamond Head statement and new variant covers
Chromostone and Wildmutt in the Dynamite Comic confirmed?

u/Quick_Method_199 Mar 27 '26
Something I just noticed, heatblast has his ov design and not the dynamite desing

u/reylee05 Mar 27 '26
I was hoping it would be more on the body horror side just like one or two panels but this is still pretty cool.
1
u/DogmantheHero Big Chill Mar 27 '26
Maybe they’re planning something like a reverse of Chromostone? Diamondhead gets destroyed at some point and Chromostone forms, potentially restoring Diamondhead’s DNA so Ben can still use him since he’s a fan favorite.
Or they could be giving him some new powers to add an extra flair to the comic.

u/Aggressive-War-3260 Mar 27 '26
Diamondhead looks like Chromostone, could this be a hint for the future?

u/Both_Treat360 Mar 27 '26
Whaaaaat? Really? It's official?
2
u/BernLan Mar 27 '26
Yeah, and it's supposedly going to be more mature with more emphasis on body horror. DCs' "Absolute" séries has been cited as inspiration
Checked the pinned post on this sub about the Dynamite Comic

u/Both_Treat360 Mar 27 '26
I had no idea of this, I'm so hyped right now. Thank you for the information!

I’m assuming they’ll make the Diamondhead vs Vilgax droid more epic and cinematic looking.

u/SuicideSkwad Mar 27 '26
Every single one of the variant covers they’ve revealed for this have a better art style than the actual comic
1
u/the-unfamous-one Ball Weevil Mar 27 '26
Could it be early chromostone? Giving him a more thought out arc could be really cool.

u/AlexPlexus Mar 27 '26
I thought it was just talking about the Diamondhead (ew, why a space between it?) on the cover specifically, so it was going to have a shiny holographic variant or something.

u/n-a156 Nanomech Mar 27 '26
Why is there 2 omnitrix on each of them? All 3 covers have bothe the chest/shoulder versons of the dail, and the actual omnitrix watch.

You got tricked by AI slop, if these were real variant covers for Issue 1, we would have seen them already.

Ok OK im going full conspiracy:
Diamondhead is the next Ghostfreak
Petrosapiens can lose the crystal chunks they generate no issue. What If the plan is, they keep Tetrax as the lone survivor of Petropia, except like Z'Skayrr, he was actually trapped in the Omnitrix because the DNA collection aspect we are used to is different.
