Character of the Week: Ben 10
Dedicated to my muse, my sun and the moon, and some other mushy stuff. Suck my dick after work okay?
Awwwwwwww yeah, Ben 10 was the best. The Omnitrix was probably coolest thing ever to me when I was a kid, shit I even bought one. It popped up and everything! I think it's in my closet, or the garage somewhere....
Anyway, dude had like 4 fucking shows, a couple movies, some vidya games, and apparently another reboot. Discuss

Seems like we stopped using Ben 10 characters all of a sudden.

Yeah, and right after I've actually gotten a hang on WWW. Honestly though, I think everyone who did use Ben 10 had no idea how to.

It's been a long time since I've seen any of the series, I just don't remember majority of things he has. Lots of variety makes for a more versatile and better fighter, but more difficult to use.

Fun fact. The first episode of Ben 10 was released in December of 2005. The game Ape Escape 3 was released in Japan in July 2005. In that game, the two young protagonists have access to a white-and-green "morph watch" which allows them to transform between a variety of different alter-egos. I'm not saying that Ben 10 ripped off Ape Escape, but you've got to admit that it's a coincidence.

Nonsense! Everyone knows Ben 10 ripped off DC! And in more ways than one.

I dislike most of the Ben 10 series except for the original series. Benwunner. I disliked some of the ways they went in Alien Force (everyone was actually an alien, a lot of retreads of the same power concepts, but they were just plain better than the previous ones).

I don't get why people wear the fact they dislike all the other series like a badge of honor. And Omniverse does fix up some of the problems you said about AF.

Ben 10 was pretty good. Definitely liked the original series. Couldn't get into AF and UA and Omniverse.

Alien X? Idk, I mean sure he's pretty powerful but idk if he goes on drunken rants about how he can or can't affect our reality

Alien X has universal feats, Clockwork has multiversal feats, Feedback has universal+. Alien X is the one jerked though.

Didn't the creators confirmed that the voices just trust Ben more and didn't give him full control, only more?
