–Ben reveals his identity to Rex, "Heroes United"

Ben Tennyson is a teenager from a parallel universe who wields the Ultimatrix. He formerly owned the Original Omnitrix, before obtaining the Completed Omnitrix. He arrived in Rex's world through a space-time rift.[1]

History

Background

Young Ben 10

Ten-year-old Ben.

Ben is a living legend in his universe due to his use of the powerful Omnitrix/Ultimatrix. When he was ten years of age he found the Omnitrix, a watch filled with alien DNA which had fallen from space. He, his friend, Kevin, and cousin, Gwen, are part of a intergalactic police organization called the Plumbers.[1] Prior to the events of Heroes United, Ben would battle and defeat several villain's, the most notable being Vilgax; a conquering warlord, and the High-Breed; a species of Aliens that believed in there racial purity and as a result were slowly dying off and planned to commit genocide across the galaxy if they could not live themselves,

Heroes United

When Ben first arrived in Rex's universe, they both got into a brawl as Ben mistook Rex for an alien while Rex mistook him for an EVO. Ben was eventually captured by the Providence Defect Group, but he escaped, trying to find a way back home. Once he finally realized that there was no way back he gave up and decided to assist Rex in his time of need. At this point, Ben met Caesar, who had come to save them both from Alpha, a dangerous creation made by Caesar six years ago during the Nanite Project.

After Alpha turned hostile, Ben used Cannonbolt to escape with Rex from Alpha. The two went back to The Plant where they played basketball and explained their origins. However, Alpha attacked the EVO containment to absorb the nanites from the present EVOs in the Bug Jar, including Rex. Ben helped save Rex from Alpha, causing him to flee.[1]

Abilities

Ben wields the power of the Ultimatrix — a powerful alien watch that resembles a gauntlet. The Ultimatrix grants him the ability to change into various extraterrestrial lifeforms, thus granting him a wide variety of powers and abilities. It also allows him to "evolve" his aliens into their ultimate forms. This consists of putting the aliens through a 1,000,000 year "Survival of the Fittest" simulation, making these Ultimate Forms more combat focused.

Alien forms

Humungousaur is a Vaxasaurian from the planet Terradino. He is a large, brownish alien creature that possesses incredible strength and dinosaur-like features, hence his name. He can also grow up to a certain extent in size, with an additional increase in strength.

Trivia

  • Rex once asked if Ben is one of the "glass half-full guys", implying that Ben is an optimist.[1]
  • In the Ben 10 series (mainly Alien Force and Ultimate Alien), Ben usually calls out the name of the alien he transforms into, but he does not do in "Heroes United."
  • Ben obtained some of Rex's nanites when Rex tried to 'cure' him as Diamondhead and Rath, therefore making him the only person in his world with nanites and liable to go EVO.
  • Ben is the third character intended to be 'cured' by Rex and being failed to do so due to not being an EVO, the others being the Chupacabra and the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
  • Diamondhead's ability of crystals/diamonds are very similar to the powers of Skalamander.
