Man of Action

Man of Action is a group consisting of Duncan Rouleau, Joe Casey, Joe Kelly, and Steven T. Seagle.
They are the creators of the Ben 10 franchise. They have also created Generator Rex, as well as written episodes of Ultimate Spider-Man and Avengers Assemble.
Although they received credit for creating the franchise and wrote a few episodes of the original series, they did not run any of the first four shows, which they found frustrating. They didn't have enough of a track record in animation for Cartoon Network to trust them initially, so the shows were handed off to others. However, they have always had a financial and creative interest in the franchise.
When the Original Series ended, Man of Action and Cartoon Network had different plans. The team wanted to make a sequel called "Ben 10: Hero Generation", focusing on Ben Tennyson and his cousin Gwen Tennyson, now teenagers train new people to become heroes similar to the Plumbers' Helpers while Cartoon Network also wanted to make a sequel series of the show. Eventually, Man of Action were out from the project, being replaced by Dwayne McDuffie, who went on to make Ben 10: Alien Force and Ben 10: Ultimate Alien until his death when he was working on the 4th iteration of franchise titled Ben 10: Omniverse.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xK_x9s3qu4Ihttps://www.deviantart.com/tacticalochoa122/journal/My-Theory-on-Ben-10-Hero-Generation-675394267
Despite not actively being a part of the crew of the sequels, Man of Action reviewed and contributed to all of the stories, even if they were not making day-to-day discussions on production.
Man of Action returned as the executive producers of the rebooted series Ben 10. They hired people, oversaw each episode, created the stories and seasonal arcs, wrote scripts and story edited the writers they hired. They work with storyboard artist to craft the visual side of stories, record the actors, review merchandising, and more.
