“	You think I don't know? When it's Hero Time, if I mess up, somebody could die. From what you told me, if we mess up this time, everybody could die. Maybe that's too much to have in your head when you have to win...Maybe if I pretend everything's a big joke, when the time comes...I'll be able to do what I have to do.	„
	~ Ben explaining his arrogance

“	Thanks to this, I get to walk a mile in other lifeforms' shoes. So, I can totally understand what it's like to be them since... I have been them.	„
	~ Ben Tennyson

“	Maybe you've forgotten something. I'm Ben Tennyson, wielder of the most powerful weapon in the universe. I stopped the Highbreed Invasion. I defeated Vilgax in hand-to-hand combat. And I've defeated the Forever Knights more times than I can count. Here's what's going to happen. You're going to release these prisoners, you're going to crawl back to wherever you came from, and you're going to stop hunting down aliens. Because if you don't, I promise. You will regret it for the rest of your very. Short. Lives.	„
	~ Ben threatening the Forever Knights

“	Kevin: What did you do? Ben: What I said I would do, turn every Esoterica on Earth back to human, with all the free will that goes along with that	„
	~ Ben not succumbing to the power of Ascalon

“	It's just a gadget! Be the hero!	„
	~ Ben giving No Watch Ben his Omnitrix

“	Being a hero isn't about fame. It's about putting other people before yourself, or what you want. It's about doing the right thing, just because it's the right thing to do. It's about making a difference.	„
	~ Ben Tennyson

“	It's Hero Time!	„
	~ Ben's catchphrase

Summary

Once an ordinary 10-year-old, Benjamin Kirby "Ben" Tennyson discovered a strange-looking "watch" after it crashed in front of him during a vacation with his grandpa and cousin. The Omnitrix allowed him to transform into 10 different aliens, which he used to become the superhero known as Ben 10. A few years and fifty more aliens later, he grew into a successful teenager, becoming not only Earth's greatest hero but also the savior of the universe and beyond.

Attack Potency: Human level, Solar System level with the Omnitrix | Solar System level physically (Could restrain and harm Simian, who, as an Arachnachimp, should be comparable to Spidermonkey and that could harm him. Should be comparable to Gwen. Was able to keep up with Attea and Pierce), At least Solar System level+, possibly Multi-Solar System level+ (Has all of the combined power of his power and Dagon) with Ascalon, up to Multiverse level+ via Absorbed Dagon's power (Should be superior to Dagon due to having all the powers of Dagon and Ascalon), Complex Multiverse level, likely Hyperverse level via Omnitrix's Self Destruction Mode (If Ben let the charge build up for a few days, it will destroy the universe), Hyperverse level with Celestialsapien arm (Should be comparable to the Celestialsapien sword that can cut through the Contumelia's extra-dimensional barrier, which is meant to protect them from creations of Annihilarrgh)

Speed: Average Human | Massively FTL+ combat and reaction speed (Can keep up with Simian), Immeasurable attack speed via Omnitrix Self-Destruction, higher with the Time Cycles (Much faster than and blitzed a Time Beast, which Rook stated moved faster than light), Immeasurable when fueled by Time Beast Eggs (Could travel back to Pre-Annihilarrgh events via accessing the Hypertimeline with sheer movement)

Range: Standard Melee Range physically, Several Meters with DNA scanning, Intergalactic with DNA recombination, Planetary with Ascalon, Interdimensional with Ascalon and Dagon's power, Complex Multiverse level, likely Hyperverse level with Omnitrix Self-Destruct Mode

Standard Equipment: Omnitrix (Original and Current), Ultimatrix

• Optional Equipment: Hoverboard, Skurd (A Slimebiote attached to the Omnitrix), Time Cycles, Ascalon

Intelligence: Gifted (Azmuth says the Omnitrix is beyond Albedo, and still entrusts it to Ben. Azmuth has also noted Ben's ingenuity and using the Omnitrix in ways that even he, the smartest being in 5 galaxies, never thought of. Grandpa Max, the best Plumber in the Milky Way galaxy believed that Ben was a better choice to wield the Omnitrix than himself. Outsmarted Vilgax on Primus, and when he planned to use the Omnitrix with his Bioid army to conquer the earth. Gave Kevin 11 the idea to combine his abilities to make up for them not being at full power. Evaded both Vilgax and Kevin 11 for a long period of time in the Null Void after having access to the Omnitrix's Master Control for only one day. Is known to constantly improvise in battles when the Omnitrix gives him an alien he didn't intend to transform into).

Weaknesses: All the weaknesses that the Omnitrix has. As a 10-year-old, Ben was very immature and could be quite overconfident. While he became more mature and less overconfident in Alien Force and Ultimate Alien, this resurfaced in Omniverse. Ben is allergic to peanuts and is afraid of peacocks. As a child, he had a fear of clowns. Although he got over this, it resurfaced in Omniverse.

Feats:

• Ben with Omnitrix can change the DNA of people throughout the entire galaxy by mixing them with random species or altering it.
• He can change the DNA of anyone by firing a beam from the Omnitrix itself, and can resist being biologically manipulated, as an extradimensional deity named Dagon transformed all creatures on Earth into Esotericas to worship it, but the Omnitrix protected Ben.
• Ben defeated Vilgax, who fought Ectonurite/ghost alien army for weeks on his planet tirelessly. Yet Ben defeated him and outskilled him in one on one battle. Vilgax is a 200 year old intergalactic warlord who has “Conquered 10 planets and crushed heroes of those 10 planets”, even after absorbing the power of 10 different heroes from ten different planets and conquering their home world he failed to defeat Ben as Ben defeated him using Diamondhead.
• Ben led his team and defeated Highbreed Alien invasion by changing their DNA on an intergalactic range with the Omnitrix. The Highbreed is an alien technologically advanced alien race that destroyed planets and conquered a galaxy with their enormous size warships, yet Ben with his great thinking alone defeated them.
• Ben has defeated geniuses such as Dr. Animo, by figuring out his plan in the Null Void.
• Ben also has a good memory, as he was able to remember magic words to open the gate of Ledgerdomain.
• Ben resisted mind manipulation from Decoy Queen as he broke out of Hypnosis Twice, while as a Nanomech.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

• Activate Mode: The Omnitrix's default mode, allowing Ben to transform into an alien recorded within for 10 to 20 minutes. However, once this time is up, Omnitrix will go into "Recharge Mode", locking itself down for a minimum of five minutes in order to prevent incorrigible damage to the user's DNA. However, the Omnitrix can instantly recharge in the face of sudden, mortal danger in order to protect its wielder.
• Capture/Scan Mode: When the Omnitrix detects new DNA not present in its records, it can copy the DNA of the new sample by making direct contact with the alien or by scanning the alien with a visor under the watch's face.
• Self-Destruct Mode: Ben can order the Omnitrix to destroy itself with the voice command, "Omnitrix Self Destruct in (time): Command code: 000 - Destruct 0". After activation, the Omnitrix charges energy while counting down until it explodes, with the power of the explosion being proportionate to the amount of time spent charging. The Omnitrix can gather enough energy in thirty seconds to blast off the arm of Vilgax, but can unleash a ripple of energy that can destroy the entire universe if allowed to charge for a few days.
• Master Control: Under certain circumstances, Ben has access to the Omnitrix's Master Code, allowing him to remain transformed indefinitely and transform into any alien in the Omnitrix he is aware of with a simple thought.
• DNA Manipulation: In addition to allowing Ben to take up the form of other aliens, the Omnitrix can alter the biological makeup of others and repair damaged genetic structures. Ben used this function to cure the severe genetic damage caused by Xenocyte parasitism, removing the parasite in the process. He later applied the traits of numerous aliens onto the Highbreed in order to remedy the genetic stagnation they caused through their own inbreeding.
