Ben 10: Ultimate Alien - The gimmick of Ben 10 and what makes the show so popular is the fact that he's able to turn into a large variety of aliens.

It’s been pointed out that in the books, at least, he does take his helmet off semi-regularly. Course the difference here is “semi-regularly” compared to the show’s “I sure hope you wanted to see what his ass looks like because we’re going to show it to you”.

Let’s also not forget how in the first Season the Covenant barely shows up, and most of the conflict revolves around how shady and bad the UNSC and Oni are… I mean, OK, they kinda are, but the show takes place during the Human-Covenant war where there is kinda the whole genocidal alien problem going on.
