“It’s hero time!”Name:
Benjamin Kirby Tennyson
Alias:
Ben 10
Brief Bio:
Ben was born in 2001 to Carl and Sandra Tennyson, a fairly normal couple in a fairly normal town. He lived near his cousins, Gwen and Ken Tennyson, as well as his loveable grandpa Max. He grew up a generally normal kid, completely and utterly the class clown, but still a fairly normal kid.
When the school year ended in 2011, Ben got blindsided by having a summer RV trip with his grandpa and cousin Gwen thrown on him. By ‘blindsided’ it was more ‘repeatedly told but kept forgetting’. Having made plans with his local friends of various shenanigans, Ben tried to plead his way out until he was told either he was going on the trip, or grounded for the whole summer.
Naturally Ben was in a very sour mood as the trip started. Refusing to have any of the fun things Max wanted to do. This infuriated Gwen which all came to a head when the three of them spent a night camping out in the middle of nowhere in Wisconsin in Grandpa Max’s RV lovingly known as ‘The Rustbucket’. Gwen dragged Ben out to the forest where a screaming argument could clearly be heard for miles around. Finally Ben absolutely furious stomped away into the forest as Gwen went in the opposite direction. It took Ben a moment to finally cool off and realize he was completely lost.
In the skies above a sudden massive meteor shower coated the night sky in lights and motion. Gwen and Max tried to hurry up looking for Ben. Ben was in a panic, especially when an asteroid suddenly crash landed right near him. Knocking him off his feet and almost unconscious. When Ben came too, he hurried down into the crater the asteroid made. Finding at the bottom a strange wrist watch looking device. It seemed alien, glowing with some kind of energy that seemed to warm Ben to his core. Suddenly the device wrapped tightly around Ben’s left wrist. Infusing itself with Ben. When Gwen and Max finally found him, the device had turned Ben into a three foot tall alien, who promptly asked how the both of them grew so tall.
Ben found out that night a lot of things that blew his mind. Grandpa Max was former a plumber, something he knew already, but it was actually a secret organization designed to protect Earth from dangerous alien forces. It got even crazier when Gwen even ended up revealing that friends of Grandpa Max were teaching her magic. Finally the topper of it all was the wristwatch looking thing stuck on his arm. Max explained it was an alien device known simply as the Omnitrix. With it, the wearer can turn into any alien species that the wearer has contact with. It was a device that was deemed almost mythical in nature, something that held such power it could save entire species from extinction.
The three tried to continue their summer trip in peace, but quickly found themselves at odds with Vilgax. An alien overlord obsessed with taking the Omnitrix and using it to rule the galaxy. The three of them found themselves at odds with Vilgax repeatedly until finally with help from Max’s old allies in The Plumbers, Vilgax and his men were sent away for good.
Unfortunately for Ben, the real world suddenly came back into his life when the summer was over and it was back to the real world. Even still the experience had made him a more mature… to an extent at least… person. However Ben constantly found himself needing over the next few years to use the Omnitrix to help out in various problems that arose. When people asked him about the wristwatch. He’d panic and stammer a bad answer with his lack of skills in lying. Soon some years later people finally pieced the puzzle together that Ben Tennyson happened to be those aliens.
Ben worried about what he would do now that his normal life was completely over, but Grandpa Max had an old friend who owed him a favor. This all led to Ben getting an audience with the Justice League, and joining their new young heroes program in the Teen Titans.
Abilities:
Ben himself is a fairly healthy young man who is athletic, with backgrounds in baseball, soccer, and golf weirdly enough considering his spaz like behavior. However otherwise he’s just a normal guy. Ben’s biggest ability stem from the Omnitrix, an alien device strapped to his left wrist. With it, Ben can turn into a multitude of various alien creatures. Generally when activated Ben can stay in his alien form for 10 minutes, and have a five minute waiting period. But some aliens allow for more time and others less. Depending on how big they are and Ben’s own energy. If Ben comes into contact with any alien DNA the Omnitrix automatically saves it and stores it for later use. Any alien made with it having the black and green hourglass logo that the Omnitrix has on its chest or other such area. However, the watch can absorb the DNA of Mutants, Inhumans, Martians, Asgardians, Skrulls, Krees, Rannians, Thanagarians, and other species both humanoid and nonhumanoid. While Ben has numerous alien forms to choose from, he does have personal favorites…
•Brainstorm: Based on the Coluan race from the planet Colu, Brainstorm has incredible intelligence and can interface with electronics by extending quasi-biological cords from his fingertips. In this form, Ben has a green complexion and blonde hair.
•Heatblast: Bases on the species called Pyronite from the star Pyros. The transformation gives him a body composed of localized magma with a 'skin' of dark red charcoal. He gains the ability to toss balls of magma, immunity to heat based attacks, and the ability to shape some of his magma into stones by allowing it to rapidly cool.
•Riot: Composed of an organic sentient slime, Riot is a red form that is capable of reshaping itself for short periods of time. It is based on a species of Symbiotes (exact name unknown) that can attach themselves to hosts and amplify the hosts skills, abilities, and more, but at the cost of making the host become more aggressive. Once he is attached to a host, he can either allow them free will or dominate them
•Warhawk: Absorbed from the Thanagarian male Hawkman, Warhawk is capable of flight through the use of two large wings. He is unfeasibly strong and can fly at astounding speeds. He also has enhanced sight and vision.
•Water Hazard: Water Hazard's planet of origin and species is unknown. But he is a red-shelled alien capable of withstanding brutal blows and using impressive strength along with hydrokinesis and proficiency at swimming.
•Wildfire: Absorbed from the Tamaranian girl Starfire. In this form, Ben's skin tints into a shade of orange. He gains the ability to fly, blast bolts of energy out of his hands and eyes, super-strength, and immunity to many poisons as well as a resistance to energy based attacks.
•Wildmutt: Based on the species Vulpimancer from Vulpin, Wildmutt is an alien with the basic appearance of an orange reptilian canine, except he has a lack of eyes. However, he is capable of using an acute sense of smell and can detect heat signatures, which compensates for his technical blindness.
•XLR8: Based on a Kineceleran, from the planet Kinet. XLR8 is a black alien who can move at extraordinary speeds by 'skating' on the (literal) balls of his feet and a natural ability to manipulate friction. When he is running, a biological visor automatically covers his face. He has claws and a long tail that add to his appearance of an overall black and blue reptile.
•Ditto: The copy of a Splixson from the planet Hathor, Ditto turns Ben into a creature roughly the size of a human toddler. With, a black and white head, white face, along with black shoulders. One of the forms that Ben can use for much longer than others. Ben can with this form duplicate himself almost countless times. Each Ditto form operates independently, regardless of what the others want him to do. Though all will commonly work together for the common goal. They are also more flexible than a human, burrow into soft enough ground and out like a mole, and breathe underwater.
•Metacopy: During a visit to the Xavier School for the Gifted, when Ben ‘accidently’ bumped up against X-Men member Rouge. His Omnitrix stored her Homo Superior genetics into the machine. When activated Ben looks completely the same, only with black hair and a streak of white in the front middle of it. With it, having any physical contact with a mutant allows him to have the same mutant power. This doesn’t work quite like the aliens in that when the time’s up, he loses the mutant power he gained altogether, and can only have one or two at a time before they start getting haywire on him.
•Way Big: Of all of the alien forms Ben has in his arsenal. This particular form of the rare but very powerful To’kustar alien turns Ben into a toweringly large humanoid alien that is red and white toned, possessing superhuman strength and durability, shoot cosmic rays from his arms when formed in an L like fashion, and can create and manipulate cosmic storms. Which can be used in transportation or inhabitation. For Ben though, using this form causes a severe strain on him physically and mentally. Which leave him borderline unconscious whenever he transforms out of it, and generally can’t be in the form as long. Way Big is generally for him ONLY used in a last ditch effort.
Personality:
At his absolute worst, Ben can be considered overly cocky, constantly acts before thinking, stubborn, and if you ask his cousin Gwen, is probably very stupid. However Ben’s heart, bravery, and loyalty are second to very few. Ben generally prides himself on being a good friend to anyone willing to let him be. He has a deep fear of clowns that stems back to a stuffed clown toy named “Mr. Squishy” that kept giving him nightmares. Plus Ben above all other things loves smoothies, especially from Mr. Smoothy's, a small Northeastern chain, and pickles, with the brine and all.
Appearance:
Standing at 5’8 generally Ben has a pretty well kept body despite a… unique diet to say the least. He is athletically toned and generally when in his super hero work wears the clothes above. The coat, one he bought and detailed himself, has a light kevlar coating in it to dispense any impact on it, as well as sharp or small handgun sized blows.
