==Personality==
Ben has been portrayed as preferring to have fun over doing chores such as cleaning, and has openly admitted to neglecting his personal hygiene. However, despite his carefree attitude, Ben has also demonstrated heroic and caring behavior, willing to help and save anyone in need, including his enemies.
While Ben may not be as interested in nerd culture as his cousin Gwen, he has shown some teasing behavior towards it. Ben can be impulsive and reckless, often acting without thinking, which can lead to trouble. He also tends to get bored easily and struggles with math and science.
Ben has had difficulties with a former bully, Kevin Levin, and reportedly developed a fear of public restrooms and avoided the school cafeteria for a period of time. This experience led to a grudge against Kevin, which intensified when Ben discovered that Kevin had his own Omnitrix.
Ben has been known to act without considering the consequences, and his reckless behavior often gets him into trouble. His tendency to make mistakes has been noted by his family members, who sometimes comment on it even if he hasn't done anything wrong.
Ben has admitted to feeling full of himself and being afraid of showing his emotions, often hiding behind various identities. He has expressed that the Omnitrix is the only thing he believes is truly valuable about himself, although he has also shown the ability to focus on the positive.
Despite his flaws, Ben is committed to protecting his family and planet, even when faced with challenges such as losing the Omnitrix. Additionally, Ben is a fan of the fictional series Sumo Slammers.

===Equipment===
Ben is the wielder of the Omnitrix, which gives him the power to modify his own genetic code in order to turn into various alien creatures. Originally, he was limited to only 10 aliens at a time. As of Ben 10,010, that has been changed.
When transforming into an alien, Ben gets all the creature's features, including its appearance, voice, all of its unique and special abilities and powers, strengths and weaknesses. Though he mostly retains his personality, there are some cases where the transformation causes a change in it, like with Rath.
Whenever he is in the Nexus Realm, he can transform into Cartoon Network characters from across the Omniverse.Crossover Nexus
In addition to transforming into aliens, thanks to the update made by Upgrade, the Omnitrix can provide Omni-Enhanced transformations powered by Fulmini DNA thanks to a malfunction.
Ben finally found the Omnitrix Key, which gave him the ability to armor up his aliens. Soon Phil made a discovery that when the Key is inserted properly, he can access more power when he is in space or underwater, the Omni-Naut Armors. Ben will also receive a armor if he is in space or underwater.
In addition to the primary transformations and armors function, the Omnitrix can be used for various purposes. It have a built-in Universal Translator that allows Ben to communicate with most aliens that do not speak English.
The Omnitrix displayed the ability to repair DNA and terraformed planets.
