So i have a few questions to ask my readers. I would like to get a few opinions on the story. So comment below on you're answers. I will note that if there are no comments then i will still go through with the story. But there could be changes. I will ask a question for you, the readers, to answer. I will then post my opinion on the question and what i will do if the comments are not made. So you don't want that to happen? Then leave a comment, give me your opinion. 

Now, onto the questions.

1. the predators/yautja. Does anyone wish for me to keep the yautja? I mean anyone wanting to see more of them or even see Xenomorphs incorporated somewhere in a future storyline?
I myself look at the story and plot of the predator/yuatja and feel like it was.... something like middle school syndrome. It was a childish decision that i believed to be awesome, fun, and rather grandiose. An idea born from the batman vs. predator comic and superman vs alien. Now when i look at it, it seems stupid and childish. Think of it like the bad email name you came up with when you were 12. Now this is why i want your opinions. I think my original approach was not great, however i can see possible ways to redeem this. Make it a fun and interesting part of the story. But again, i'm not sure about this and if no one says otherwise i'm probably just gonna trash this and have it forgotten in the story.

2. Are we ok with Jor El and Lara Lor-van being alive? Ok. To my understanding in comics there are three deaths we just do not touch or erase. One is spider-man's uncle Ben. two is the waynes. and three i believe is either gwen stacy or the punishers family. The point is these are deaths you do not erase in comic books. Gwen stacy got some alternate version but i don't think she was every resurrected in the sense. 
Back to the question. While superman's family aren't on this list of people to never resurrect, and actually there are a few comics where they live like "the last family of krypton", I wonder if this is a good idea. Me personally, i think it will work. But i think there are at least a few people who disagree and think they should have remained dead. So should i kill them off to rectify this or do you think they should stay?

3. let's count off how many girls i had in this story that are interested in Ben. There's the easy three that i can list off, Kara, Carol, and Caitlin. Then there's Charmcaster, Crush, Looma, Lar'ja, and Poison Ivy. That adds up to 8...... is that too many? I mean there are less days in the week then that. By 1. But still you get the point. I originally would have only done 3, but i really just couldn't pick who i liked more. Supergirl or powergirl? Killer frost or Charmcaster? Poison Ivy or Crush? I just couldn't pick one so i made the decision to just say he gets 'em all. Now the question. Is 8 too many? If it is i'm bumping it down to 6, throwing away Lar'ja and Looma. Cause i like the others more. Lar'ja is part of the Predator question above. And Looma feels more like a joke to me to give a few laughs in the story. I like the others more. I mean seriously think about it. How would it work for someone to be married to 7 or 8 different people all at the same time? Just thinking about how that would work make it seem like a bad idea and to cut down the number even if just a little. 

4.  Should i write the entire book before i release it next time or should i do what i did with this one? And i don't mean take years to finish and publish the book, but release the book chapter by chapter. One at a time. Now i would like to note that i usually try and write a third of the book before i release it so that there is a bit to read before you reach where i am. I would also like to note that i have ADHD. And one piece of ADHD is object permanence. Translation. Out of sight, out of mind. Makes it real easy to forget about things and stop doing them. Like writing a story for example. However by the next book i should be getting some ADHD meds which could possibly help with object permanence. So fingers crossed.  Fun Fact: Did you know about 10 percent of children have ADHD? About 5% of adult men have it and 3% of adult women. Who knew? If i'm being straight forward, i thought there would be way more.  

5. My version of the Batman insider suit. I made more of a cameo out of this. You only see it for a single chapter before it gets tucked away. But this is a real suit batman has, though it is quite different from the comics version. My thoughts were to only bring it around every once in a while. Like for important moments, but not have batman wear it all the time. The Inside suit is a powerful suit batman made that has powers of it's own inspired by Batman's own allies. It has access to the speed force for superspeed, it can fire a concentrated beam of energy inspired by a lantern's ring, heat vision (we all know where that came from), a cord that has sensors that can do the job of a polygraph inspired by the lasso of truth, camouflage based on martian manhunter, flight (because everyone flies but batman and flash it seems), and even a teleportation device that can teleport up to 3 meters. Inspired by that suit i gave Batman his own superpower suit. Except it's better because Batman had access to plumber tech to make my version. I think this one's more of a formality to just let people know this does exist in comics and i probably will keep it. Might replace it with the justice buster in later books, if i keep going, and then replace that with the hellbat armor. Now that is one badass suit. 

6. How did we like the trick? I mean the fact that when we see lobo in the beginning it's vague and can be misleading? How a lot of people were thinking it was going to be Doomsday but instead we got Lobo. I personally enjoyed seeing the comments of everyone getting it wrong. Thinking Doomsday was making an appearance, and then i revealed that it was Lobo instead. Did we enjoy the twist? Should i try this more or should i be a bit more direct. 

7. Are there any specific villains people are wanting to see? for example Darkseid, trigon, anti-monitor, Lex Luthor, Joker, giganta, Michael Morningstar? Anyone it can be small time villains, major villains, world ending or planet destroying villains. I'd like to hear some suggestions if y'all don't mind. Same for heroes. Got any suggestions. Let me hear'em.

I would ask if it was a bad idea to make Ben be half kryptonian, but i know it was a bad idea. Problem is i can't really change that without restarting this entire story and i'm not doing that. Not after taking years to write this one alone.

Now i would like to note that just comments on the questions aren't gonna be the final decision on these topics. However they will have a big say in the matter. It's kind of like putting it to a vote. A majority have to approve, and a lot of votes comes from the comments. However there are other things that just might overturn the vote despite whatever comments. 

Now this is the end of Ben 10: Alien League. And i may not be a consistent writer, but i do plan to make Ben 10: Alien League II (Name is a WIP). I also have a lot of thoughts on a Ben 10 X Marvel story that really excites me that i have been working on for a while. I got a lot of stuff that i work on simultaneously. I'm hoping it'll be successful because you don't see to many of those. Either way i got stories that i'm working on and trying to work on more often then i usually do. If i have any announcements such as the release of the next Ben 10 X DC book or maybe i think of more questions i want outside opinions on i will post a new chapter here. But for now, this story is complete. I will see you all next time.
