Attached to his wrist, it allows him to transform into various alien creatures with different abilities, allowing him to fight evil from Earth and space. He is also teamed up with his 15-year-old paternal Filipino-American cousin, Zoe Herron who has powers from her own mind. The series is available on Netflix worldwide.

== Production ==
=== Development ===
Man of Action and Netflix made an agreement to make a teen drama version of Ben 10. The original title was going to be Ben 10: Live Action but it was scrapped because it might sound too similar to the Ben 10 franchise. So it is decided that there should be a different wielder of the omnitrix and that the series should be set in Los Angeles rather than Bellwood. The members of Why Don't We got involved in production as well as Zoe Tria, Raphael Lau, Aidan Harney, Gun and Thaiyo Kido who were teen actors and actresses from various shows such as A Crazy EX Battle, The Secondary School Choir and The Darkest Awakening. Production started the same time reboot version of The Darkest Awakening was in production. According to Why Don't We, the show target audience is for teenage limelights. Grandpa Max(especially his teen drama counterpart) won't appear in the series.
=== Theme Song ===
The theme song is composed by Why Don't We who also did starring roles in the series(with the exception of Jonah Marais). Interestingly, they also performed the theme song. The intro is also inspired by anime.
=== Casting ===
Zach Herron and Zoe Tria were given starring roles. Interestingly, Zoe Tria has stated that she and her brother had recently watched Ben 10 prior to production. Zach and Zoe's characters are teen drama counterparts to Ben and Gwen Tennyson. Raphael Lau, Jack Avery and Gun were added to the cast as Zed Herron, John Kinnear and Kayla Chen, all counterparts of Ken Tennyson, Kevin Levin and Julie Yamamoto. The rest of the cast portray original characters. Jonah Marais and Eben Franckewitz are part of the recurring cast portraying Dak and Brody. The aliens used by Zach when he transforms are CGI animated and are all voiced by Zach Herron himself.
