Name: Benjamin Kirby Tennyson
Alias: "Ben 10"
Role: Titan
Brief Bio: Born in 2001, Ben was born to Carl Tennyson and Sandra Tennyson. He grew up with a close relationship to his grandpa Max and his cousin Gwen. When Ben was ten years old, in the summer of 2011, he went on a cross-country road-trip that had its first major stop in Wisconsin. In the forest, they spotted a meteor shower raining down on the area. Max tried to shepherd Ben and Gwen into the RV they'd been traveling in, The Rustbucket. But, despite his grandfather's protective efforts, Ben chased down one of the meteors that had landed. When Ben reached it, he saw that it emitted a green glow, so, stupidly, he approached it and stuck his hands into it's loosest crack, pulling it apart with surprising ease. But, then a black and green device latched onto his wrist, appearing similar to a watch.
After the intial ordeal of discovering that he could not remove it from his wrist, his grandfather explained that it was an alien device called The Omnitrix, and that it was known throughout the universe as the galaxy's greatest weapon (not to be confused with a GL ring, the universe's most powerful weapon). Max explained that it was able to transform it's user into a multitude of life-forms from across the entire universe. When Ben stopped trying to remove the watch, he discovered how immensely cool it was to be able to transform into different life forms. Though Grandpa Max discouraged him at first, after Ben disobeyed him frequently, he agreed to let Ben try being a 'hero' with his abilities.
But sooner than later, a group of bounty hunters came to Earth, searching for the wearer of the Omnitrix, so that they could forcibly remove it from his body and take it to their boss, an alien warlord known as Vilgax. When the bounty hunters confronted Ben, they showed him that it took more than a powerful weapon to be a hero, he saw that it took brains too. Then he discovered his most intelligent form, Brainstorm! Using the resources in the area and some clever execution, Ben outwitted and outdid the bounty hunters and Grandpa Max kicked them off the planet after threatening to arrest them.
Eventually, though, the road trip came to an end and Ben had to return to school, where people asked him about his watch on a regular basis and he made up frequent lies to explain why he never took it off. While in school, he ended up using the watch on a much less frequent basis, though it was never quite allowed to rest. Eventually though, someone put together that the aliens Ben transformed into shared the symbol that was on Ben Tennyson's watch, and soon enough his secret was all over the Internet.
Without a reason to hide anymore, Ben transformed into aliens whenever the situation called for it. Eventually, he ended up joining a team of teenage superheroes to help protect the world, especially after the crisis in 2015 where all the adults disappeared without a trace. Since then, he's mostly fought aliens and done his best to balance the many demands that his life has.
Abilities: Ben's sole ability is access to a device that looks like a wristwatch, but it allows him to transform into one of many different species of intelligent beings for ten minute intervals before a five minute charging period. Whenever his watch, The Omnitrix, is touched by another creature, it creates a copy if the basics of its DNA and allows him to transform into a member of its species, though this does not apply to humans because he is aready a human. However, the watch can absorb the DNA of Mutants, Inhumans, Martians, Asgardians, Skrulls, Krees, Rannians, Thanagarians, and other species both humanoid and nonhumanoid. His present forms include (but are not limited to):
•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.
•Mutagen: After coming into contact with a member of humanities sister species, Homo Superior, Ben absorbed the DNA of a mutant and then developed a mutation as if he were a member of their species. This form allows him to physically adapt his body in order to survive by becoming more durable and powerful.
•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: Watee 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.
Personality:Ben can be Impulsive, Arrogant, Jealous, Stubborn, Impedent, and at times quite stupid. But on the other hand, he's also brave, loyal, trustworthy, humorous, and has learned from experience before he looks before he leaps, though that is not always the case. He has a fear of clowns left over from his childhood and a slight hatred of the dark. But, possibly more tham anything else, he loves smoothies and corn dogs.
Appearance:
Cameron Bright captures the look I want to go with nigh perfectly in this image. The jacket, the way his eyes look, even his hairstyle seem to go perfectly. Ben has green eyes, brown hair that is long, but kept trim and combed around his head, and pale white skin with a style of casual dress at all times. The only difference from the picture I'd say is that Ben would moatly wear a green jacket with a ten stamped over his right pectoral.
Affliation:-Cousin of Gwen and Ken Tennyson.
-Grandson of Max Tennyson.
Other:Theme SongI'm personally a fan of the Alien Force series because of the more mature tone it had maintained while never feeling like it had to be different. To me, it only felt like Ben had grown up after five years. I don't feel like the original show's theme wpuld represent that well, but the AF theme doesn't quite feel 'space agey' enough for me. So I settled on this.
A plot hole I'll eventually address is why the watch doesn't pick up earthlings and why it only picks up 'aliens' from the viewpoint of an earthling. It may or may not have something to so with Animorphs.
