History
Ben Tennyson was once an ordinary 10-year-old boy who looked forward to spending his summer vacation goofing off and playing video games. But his Grandpa Max had different ideas, taking Ben and his cousin Gwen out on a national road trip to see the nation's most famous and quirky sights. It would have been one boring summer if not for Ben witnessing a shooting star crash down that, in reality, turned out to be a capsule containing a watch-like device known as the Omnitrix. When Ben got closer to the device, it forcibly attached itself to Ben's arm, granting him the ability transform into ten different alien "heroes". Ben later learned the Omnitrix contained the DNA of over a million superpowered alien species, aside from the initial ten he started with. Since his discovery of the device, Ben was sucked into the world of supernatural and intergalactic threats, from saving the Earth countless times, preventing atrocities across the whole universe, to even the extent of all reality.

- Before Green Lantern was ultimately decided as his opponent, Ben was commonly requested to fight against either Beast Boy or Danny Phantom. However, both were rejected for different reasons.[1]
- Beast Boy was rejected because it was stated that he wouldn't stand a chance against Ben due to the sheer differences in their transformations. The team considered limiting Ben to his younger self from the original cartoon, but Ben Singer wanted Ben to have all the aliens he has achieved over the years.
- Danny was rejected because Ben believed the matchup was made due to nostalgia for both Ben 10 and Danny Phantom and not because of any matching powers or themes between Ben and Danny, concluding that it would make for a weird episode.
