What's Ben 10?

Ben 10 is a popular American animated television series created by Man of Action, a group consisting of comic book writers Joe Casey, Joe Kelly, Duncan Rouleau, and Steven T. Seagle. The show revolves around the adventures of Ben Tennyson, a 10-year-old boy who discovers a device called the Omnitrix, which allows him to transform into different alien species.

Ben 10,000, also known as Benjamin "Ben" Kirby Tennyson, is one of Ben Tennyson's futures from an alternate timeline. In this timeline, Ben is a full-time superhero and has access to at least 10,000 alien forms. He is nicknamed Ben 10,000 due to his ability to transform into a vast number of alien species.

Ben 10,000 has a tall, muscular build, which is a result of his numerous adventures that have kept him in shape. He wears a customized skintight outfit and sports a full beard. In the episode "Ben 10,000," his outfit consists of a round-neck short-sleeved bicep-length black t-shirt tucked into his tight army green slim-fit pants pulled up to his waist. His shirt has a white stripe around his neck and on the front, and a matching one-inch trim on the sleeves. He also wears a black belt, with matching fingerless gloves and calf-high boots.

In the episode "Ken 10," Ben 10,000's hair is more tousled, and he still sports the beard. His hair is graphite at the back and bottom sides of his head. He wears a skintight version of his outfit when he was 10. He wears a round-neck short-sleeved bicep-length white T-shirt tucked into his tight army green slim-fit pants pulled up to his waist. His shirt has a black stripe around his neck and on the front, and a matching one-inch trim on the sleeves. He also wears a black belt, with matching fingerless gloves and calf-high boots. In addition to wearing his classic look, his belt has pouches.

Ben 10,000's personality is initially portrayed as being serious about the hero business to the point where it is almost obsessive. He spends most of his time as XLR8 to patrol the planet and brutalize criminals as quickly as he can, while rarely appearing in human form. He has also stopped naming his aliens, which Ben Prime considers "half the fun" of using them. However, after taking on Vilgax alongside Ben Prime, Ben 10,000 starts to lighten up and becomes more relaxed. Over the following twelve years, he changes his clothing to something akin to his youth, returns to naming his aliens again, and spends quality time with his son, Ken.

Despite his change to a more light-hearted and relaxed person, Ben 10,000 can doubt his abilities as a parent and become over-protective due to the various dangers of crimefighting. He can also be somewhat obtuse, not realizing where his son got his attitude from and grasping the obvious to Max's annoyance.

Ben 10,000's relationship with his son, Ken, is an important aspect of his character. While he tries to be close with his son, he can be over-protective and doubt his abilities as a parent. Ken, on the other hand, looks up to his father and wants to follow in his footsteps as a superhero.

The Ben 10 franchise has spawned several spin-offs, including Ben 10: Alien Force, Ben 10: Ultimate Alien, and Ben 10: Omniverse. The show has also inspired various merchandise, such as toys, video games, and comic books.

In conclusion, Ben 10,000 is an important character in the Ben 10 franchise, representing a possible future for Ben Tennyson. His character development from a serious and obsessive hero to a more light-hearted and relaxed person is an interesting aspect of the show. His relationships with his son, Ken, and his wife, Gwendolyn, add depth to his character and provide opportunities for character growth and development.
