He is the paternal cousin of Gwen Tennyson and was a main member of Team Tennyson.

Ben's Anodite Form
## Personality

> "*No, I'm Ben Tennyson, and I'll do anything to save my family. Omnitrix or not. That's what a hero does.*"
> ― Ben to Azmuth.
>
>

Ben is childish and cocky. He prefers likes to have fun rather than do chores such as cleaning. He has admitted that he does not wash his t-shirt.

Besides his childish behavior, Ben is heroic and caring, willing to help and save anyone in need. This also applies for his enemies, as demonstrated when saving LaGrange from dying in Yellowstone  and saving the Piscciss Volann Prisoner from a Null Void portal.

Ben is not into nerd culture as much as Gwen, and usually teases her and geek culture. Despite his bratty and indifferent demeanor, Ben is, by far, anything but ignorant.

After Kevin Levin started bullying him, he apparently developed a fear of public restrooms. He was also unable to eat lunch at the school cafeteria for around 3 months. This led to him developing a grudge against Kevin, which has amplified upon finding out that he has his own Omnitrix.

Ben can be very impulsive, as he often acts without considering his actions. His reckless behavior often lands him in trouble.

Ben can get bored very easily, and is good at math and science.

Ben does not always listen to Gwen, like when Ben told him Gax wasn't a good choice for Ben to turn into while the volcano was erupting. Instead of listening to her, he used Gax and stopped the volcano his own way.

Ben's habit of screwing up often gets to the point where Max and Gwen would comment on it, even if he has not actually done anything wrong.

Ben admits that he really is full of himself, that he is afraid of showing his feelings. He hides behind so many identities, and he believes that the only thing about him really worth anything is the Omnitrix, although he later ignores his current thoughts and focuses on the positive.

Ben is willing to do anything to save his family, and planet. Even when Azmuth took the Omnitrix from him, he was still willing to go back to Earth and fight.

Ben is a huge fan of Sumo Slammers.

## Relationships

### Family

#### Gwen Tennyson

Ben and Gwen have a pretty good relationship. They argue here and there but they always end up forgiving each other. At times, Ben finds her advise helpful, but often ignores it. Gwen sometimes partakes in Ben's mischievous behavior, such as when Ben played Ben's cornerman while they snuck out into a wrestling tournament.

Ben and Gwen's arguments are sometimes over the littlest things, such as a cupcake. Gwen sometimes does not stick up for Ben, such as when Ben refused to believe anything he said Frightwig until Ben saw her true colors for herself. Gwen can sometimes get jealous over Ben's Anodite powers. She became especially jealous of Ben's powers when she heard from Jordan that she had those powers in another dimension.

Ben often takes credit for Gwen's work, even if it's not intentional. Gwen temporarily became a henchwoman for Zombozo because of this jealousy.

#### Max Tennyson

Ben and Max almost have a father and son relationship. Max often gives Ben advice, but Ben is annoyed by it. Recently, Ben starts to accept the fact that his advice is helpful and he should listen to him more.

### Friends

#### Penny

Ben appears to be often annoyed at Penny, but Penny cares for Ben's safety very much. She was amazed at Ben's Anodite powers.

#### Simon Sez

When Ben first met Simon, he thought he was very annoying. He soon yelled at him, causing Simon to react in rage. Simon was willing to crush Ben, but was stopped by his brother Ryan. Since then, Ben has been working to be on better terms with Simon.

#### Phil Billings

Phil is really nice to Ben due to his kind nature, however Ben seems often annoyed by Phil's work. When Phil helped fix the Omnitrix, Ben later stated that Phil didn't even do anything. Ben alongside Gwen, don't really get excited in the presence of Phil.

### Enemies

#### Kevin Levin

Kevin used to be Ben's bully back when Ben was in fourth grade. His grudge has escaladed into a rivalry after discovering that Kevin has his own Omnitrix. Despite that, Ben is willing to either help or save Kevin.

Ben and Kevin have eventually become on better terms after working together to defeat Forever Knight, as they and LaGrange teamed up to unfreeze time using the Sonitrain. Ben has even stated that he is not as interested in fighting Kevin.

#### Tetrax

Tetrax sees Ben as nothing but a bounty. He is often annoyed by his behavior, and thinks that he is only good for his bounty. Ben sees Tetrax as a "good-for-nothing bounty hunter".

#### Vilgax

Vilgax is Ben's most dangerous enemy. Ben often gets on Vilgax's nerves. Vilgax would do almost anything to get the Omnitrix from Ben. Although, Ben has shown willingness to work with Vilgax. They both teamed up to stop the Fulmini invasion. However, Vilgax attempted to betray Ben.

Vilgax later returned to get revenge on Ben. After a fight, Vilgax spares Ben's life to let him witness the unleashing of the Ultimate Alien.

#### Billy Billions

Ben and Billy both have a rival relationship. Ben offers Billy to be friends with him, however, each time Billy turns down the offer.

Before Ben found the Omnitrix, he was actually a fan of Billy Billions.

Ben can have trouble tracking Billy by his Mana because of his technology.

#### Steam Smythe

Steam Smythe is one of Ben's most reoccurring enemies. Steam Smythe often challenges Ben to duals. He made Ben humiliate himself after cheating in a laser tag dual. Over time Ben got bored of fighting him, and wanted more of a challenge.

#### Hex

Hex finds Ben to be a complete nuisance, since he keeps thwarting his plans for domination, especially since he is a recent obstacle in his years of attempted conquering.

Kelly Turnbull compares Hex's feelings towards Ben to coming home and finding ants in your kitchen that you can't get rid of.

#### Aloysius Animo

Ben seems to think of Dr. Animo as a coward, and says that he creates monsters to do his dirty work.

## Powers and Abilities

Ben is a polyglot meaning he can speak four or more languages. In the case of Ben, He can Speak 8 languages. Ben can speak fluent Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, Greek, Arabic, Chinese, and Japanese.

Ben is a full-fledged Anodite, a member of a free-spirited alien race of pure energy beings known as Anodites who draws life from the mana around them, from the planet Anodyne.

Ben mana powers are mainly used to create energy constructs, allowing her to make many different types of consrtucts, including energy blasts, streams, waves, and bolts as offensive projectile attacks; energy force-fields, shields, and barriers to protect himself and others; melee weapons such as hammers, swords, blades, and fists; tools such as protective helmets, battering rams, and safety nets; energy beams to grab and throw enemies; and stepping stones or platforms to carry him and others through air. Ben can also synchronize his martial arts styles with his energy manipulation abilities. Ben can manipulate mana for a variety of effects such unleashing destructive blasts, projectile bolts, and creating constructs.

Ben can use mana to track down any living thing she wants by either following their energy trail, detecting the traces of mana that they left, or being at one with the cosmic mana. Ben is able to scan the universe with apparent ease, including Ledgerdomain, as he did when searching for Vilgax.

Ben can distinguish beings with physical similarities by reading their auras. He can also draw in mana from everything around her.

Ben can use his mana to perform telekinesis, teleportation, heat vision, clairvoyance, telepathy, and healing for both himself and other living beings.

Ben is capable of using his hair as a separate appendage mainly seen grabbing others. Ben is able to emit blinding flashes and explosions of light. Ben also displays the ability to turn himself invisible.

Ben even possess the ability to take control of the mana constructs of others. An examples of this is Charmcaster which was seen when Ben was able to effortlessly take control of Charmcaster's mana shield and turn it into a bubble to contain her.
He is able to freely manipulate and control mana or life energy, the substance of magic.

Ben could create a human body for his to 'wear' in order to blend in with humanity. Ben could also teleport and fly, in both human and Anodite form. Ben is able to outmaneuver Jetray along with being able to withstand rocks being thrown at his and capable of destroying Dark Matter's Cerebrospinal fluid constructs.

Ben shows some limited degree of reality warping, as seen when Ben fixed a broken glass at Gwen's house, created strong duct tape around Hex’s mouth, and repaired Gwen's house when it was destroyed during their fight with a mere snap of his fingers. This also shifted Ben and Kevin back to their human forms.

Ben has the power to heal animals and plants, as well as repair inanimate objects. He can also heal common human injuries and conditions He generally does this by creating a ball of Mana, and then moving the ball of Mana around the person to heal the person.

Ben has learned to astral project through magic, like when he found Kevin with the Antitrix.

Ben can fire magic blasts from his eyes.

Ben is telepathically connected to his grandfather, Max.

### Equipment

Ben is the wielder of the Omnitrix; A powerful device that allows Ben to transform into 10 different aliens with a variety of different skills and powers. However he is only limited to 10 aliens at a time. Later on his powers were given a boost in battle, the Omni-Enhanced Forms. Later on he lost this ability.

Whenever he is in the Nexus Realm, he can transform into Cartoon Network characters from across the multiverse.

He eventually found the Omni-Kix 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, Omni-Naut Armor.

When he equipped the Titan Gauntlets, he gained enhanced strength.

## Weaknesses

Whenever the Omnitrix times out, Ben is left powerless unless he switches into a new alien form. In addition to gaining the selected alien's powers, he gains its weaknesses. The Omnitrix also mistransforms at times, sometimes choosing an alien not fit for the situation.

Ben is allergic to animals. However, he's been taking medications.

Ben is scared of anything with tentacles, including squids, snakes, and even Ectonurites. The only instance he was courageous in their presence was whenever he turned into Gax.

Ben is also scared of bees, which started when he got stung in the mouth by a bee he cluelessly tried to eat as a toddler. However, this does not apply to Queen Bee because Ben is more human than bee.

Ben's impulsiveness can be exploited by his enemies, as the Forever Knight managed to manipulate Ben into making his family trust him less.

Ben can easily get scared when he's all alone, such as he was transported into the Null Void, but he can calm these fears by generating a glowing ball of mana.
