LatestThe summer finally ends. Ben and Gwen have to go back to their normal lives. Grandpa Max tells Ben to keep the Omnitrix a secret from everyone, even his parents. Ben agrees, but Vilgax arrives and he'll stop at nothing to get the Omnitrix.
When 10-year-old Ben Tennyson discovers a mysterious device, he gains the power to change into ten different alien heroes, each with uniquely awesome powers. With such abilities at his disposal, Ben realizes a greater responsibility to help others and stop evildoers, but that doesn't mean he's above a little superpowered mischief now and then.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The creators, known collectively as 'Man of Action,' went on to co-create Marvel's Big Hero 6. The Omnitrix concept predates Ben 10 by years in their sketchbooks.
Four Arms directly influenced by Jack Kirby's The Thing, and the entire series became Cartoon Network's flagship franchise, spawning five sequel series that progressively complicated the lore into oblivion.
