Benjamin Kirby "Ben" Tennyson, commonly known as Ben 10, is a fictional superhero and the titular protagonist of the Ben 10 franchise owned by Cartoon Network. In the original series, Ben started the franchise as a 10-year-old boy on summer vacation with his family, during which he found the Omnitrix, a watch-like device of alien origin, in a forest. It permanently latched itself onto his wrist and allowed him to transform into a multitude of alien species. Supported by his cousin Gwen and grandfather Max, he fights common criminals but is quickly drawn into fighting more advanced foes such as Vilgax, Dr. Animo, and The Forever Knights. A year after the original series, Ben retires and removes the Omnitrix for unspecified reasons. He resumes a normal life for the next four years until he is forced out of retirement by his grandfather's sudden disappearance.
In Alien Force, Ben investigates Max's disappearance with the help of his cousin, Gwen, and reformed enemy, Kevin (formally Kevin 11). The trio learns of the existence of the alien Highbreed, and their parasitic henchmen, DNAliens, and continue investigating the outwardly species and form alliances with many people. The Highbreed attempt to invade Earth but are stopped by the combined forces of Ben and his allies. He is awarded for his efforts in stopping the Highbreed Wars, but his judgment becomes clouded, and many past enemies resurface. Vilgax teams up with Albedo (Ben's doppelganger armed with the Ultimatrix) and abduct Gwen and Kevin. Ben surrenders the Omnitrix to Vilgax, but destroys it and replaces it with the Ultimatrix.
In Ultimate Alien, Ben has wielded the Ultimatrix for roughly a year and his secret identity has been revealed worldwide which brings many changes to his life. Over the course of the series, he stops the threats of Ultimate Aggregor and Ultimate Kevin, and he later battles against Diagon and his army, and Esoterica, after which he is awarded the completed Omnitrix from Azmuth.
In Omniverse, Gwen and Kevin leave for college and Ben gains a new partner, Rook Blonko. Together, they explore the hidden city of Undertown and assist in stopping the Faction, defending Earth from the invading Incurseans, and are victorious in the Time War against Maltruant and his minions.
In the 2016 series, the character underwent a reboot, returning to being a 10-year-old boy who travels across the country during his summer vacation, along with his grandfather Max and cousin Gwen, and uses his powers to fight supervillains. Ultimately, Ben aids his adult future self, helps the young Generator Rex, and fights alongside alternate versions of himself to defeat Alien X, later revealed to be a villainous version of himself as an adult.
