Ben 10 :: Alien Force TV Show Facts

Ben Tennyson was an ordinary 10-year old kid who loved video games, biking, and goofing off. Then he found the Omnitrix and gained the incredible power to change into 10 different aliens with crazy powers! Teaming up with his way-cool grandpa and worry-wart cousin, Gwen, he foght crime, had fun, and tried to figure out how the Omnitrix worked. The chaos of Ben 10 fast forwards five years to Ben 10: Alien Force on Cartoon Network, Saturdays at 10am.

Ben 10 :: Original Roll-Call!

  • Ben Tennyson - Take one ordinary video-game-playing, bike-riding, kid. Add one alien doohickey that can turn him into 10 aliens with wacky powers. Sha-zammo! It's time to fight crime and save the day.
  • Gwen Tennyson - Gwen isn't an alien, she's worse, she's Ben's cousin! She's got the 'fu, which is cool, but she's a worry-wart, which sucks.
  • Grandpa Max - Ben's ex-army grandpa isn't an alien, but he knows something about 'em. He's also really cool and helps Ben out with his alien thingamajigger.
  • Fourarms - Got butt-kickin' powers? This 12-foot tall four-armed brute does! He's Ben's fave alien form for putting the smackdown on bad guys.
  • Stinkfly - This bug-alien form lets Ben take to the sky like a jet pilot and battle bad guys with pincers and a sharp tail. Just don't get him wet or he's grounded.
  • Ripjaw - It's uglier than dirt, but Ben's Ripjaw form can swim like a fish! It also lets Ben breathe underwater and munch burgers (and bad guys) with a nasty ste of teeth.
  • XLR8 - Ben's high-speed dino form can race at 300 mph across ground, mud, water, and even up buildings! It can also make a tornado by running in circles, but it still takes forever to do homework in this form.
  • Heatblast - This hot alien form is on fire and can spit, spray, hurl, and shoot bolts of fire. It's awesome, as long as it doesn't get wet!
  • Grey Matter - Even aliens are nerds. This little alien form is a 'wee grey guy that makes Ben super smart so he can fix stuff. It's great, but it's super weak!
  • Ghostfreak - Turning into this shadowy alien lets Ben walk through walls and turn invisible, as long as it's kinda dark. It's super-powerful and super-spooky.
  • Diamondhead - When Ben turns into this crystal alien, he's impervious to damage, super strong, and can bounce lasers around. But, loud rock 'n roll tunes can shatter him!
  • Wildmutt - This dog-like alien form is part wolverine, part quill-shooting porcupine, and all blind. Ben can't talk in this form either, but its super-senses means it doesn't need to see to pee on your leg!
  • Upgrade - Changing into this liquid-metal alien form lets Ben merge with mechanical stuff and upgrade it. Just imagine plugging him into an Xbox 360!
  • Vilgax - This tentacle-faced alien is after Omnitrix and wants it, bad!
  • Dr. Animo - This mad scientist has a gadget that lets him bring dinosaurs back from the dead and turn normal critters into mutant freaks.
  • Zombozo - When he's not winning awards for "Lamest Villain Name Ever" this psychic vampire clown runs an evil circus.
  • Megawhatt - Ben unleashes this mischievous dynamo of electrical destruction when he's pulling a prank. Whoops.
  • Ben 10 :: Alien Force New Characters

  • Kevin Levin - A former enemy of Ben's in the first series, Kevin joins on this time to help Ben and Gwen find their Grandpa Max, who disappeared at the end of the first series.
  • Highbreed - A breed of aliens who thinks themselves the most superior species, they want to wipe out all other beings--including humans!
  • DNAliens - Human/alien hybrids who can disguise themselves via identity masks.
  • The Forever Knights - Formed way back in the Middle Ages (think 1000s - 1300s), this group of alien arms dealers is currently working with the Highbreed--without knowing their full intentions, of course!
