UF - Ben Tennyson

**Benjamin Kirby "Ben" Tennyson** of the *Ultimate Fairy* storyline has undergone the same experiences as his canon counterpart from when he found the original Omnitrix in the *Original Series* up until the end of *Ultimate Alien* where he received the new and improved Omnitrix from Azmuth.

After that, Ben's life branches off from the main continuity for better and for worst.

Upon getting sent to Earthland, Ben has joined the Fairy Tail guild and teamed up with the Team Natsu to form the Ultimate Team.

## Appearance

Ben is a well-defined young man of average height with pale skin, shaggy brown hair, and green eyes. His body has filled out more from training and natural growth since the end of *Ultimate Alien*. Following his intense battle with Malgax, Ben has gained a jagged, cauterized scar on the right side of his chest.

Ben's primary outfit is the same as his Alien Force/Ultimate Alien attire - consisting of his signature green jacket, black t-shirt, blue jeans and sneakers. Upon joining Fairy Tail, he had a white Fairy Tail patch stitched unto his left jacket sleeve. Additionally, his guild mark is green and located on his left shoulder.

## Personality

Ben shares many qualities with his canon counterpart; such as, his selflessness, good leadership skills, unwillingness to compromise his values, and ability to adapt to different situations.

Following Julie's death, Ben felt heavily responsible and criticized himself for failing to protect her. He has foregone the cocky, childish attitude he had adopted since stopping the Highbreed Invasion, and grown into a more mature and sensible person. Following the events of the Entrapment Arc, Ben has learned to move on from the guilt that plagued him for two years, thanks to Erza.

While fighting opponents, Ben often displays a snarky and dry sense of humor. When lives are threatened, he can quickly become serious and even scary. This especially shows when Erza is threatened when they begin a relationship.[44] However, this can coerce you into doing and saying things you shouldn't, such as interrogating enemies in brutal ways and/or rebuke friends and allies in questionable way (as did with Natsu and the other members of the Allied Forces).[44] [45] This side can also cause his allies to quarrel and cause them to distrust him [47]and eventually turn against him (as was the case with Natsu after he fell under the effects of Nirvana). [47] After witnessing Natsu's memories taken by Nirvana, Ben felt deep remorse for his actions and appears to have renounced his serious side as well,[49]stating that he would not interrogate Brain the same way he did Erigor and that he learned his lesson from the whole ordeal. [48] Ben's serious side can also make him foolish too, as he didn't notice Cobra's excellent hearing during his clash with the Dragon Slayer, as his "silliness" left him too focused on finding answers about Jellal and Hex to realize, even as the signs screamed and rubbed the obvious in his face.

[50] Though Ben was still using his serious side during his fight with Zero [51] and also to stop the Allied Forces from intervening the Rune Knights from arresting Jellal, Hoteye, and the Oracion Seis (with the exception of Zero/Brain). It's very likely that ben won't use it again, perhaps to avoid causing more intrigue in the future.

In contrast to his counterpart's attention-seeking behavior, Ben wishes to keep a low profile while on Earthland. This is why he doesn't correct people when they refer to him as a Take-Over mage. Although he is thankful people are noticing his heroic deeds, he has become exasperated with fame; mainly blowhards who ridicule him and hordes of fangirls.

Thanks in part to Will Harangue, Ben has grown to dislike the press - evident by his unenthusiastic attitude when being interviewed by Jason.

Ben retains his love for smoothies and chili fries. On the flip side, he is still afraid of peacocks and clowns.

## Powers & Abilities

Ben possess the same mental and physical abilities, and equipment as in the main show, with a few additions to the Omnitrix as listed below.

* The new Omnitrix comes with the added feature of the Evolutionary Function (*which the Omniverse Omnitrix did not posses*).

* The time-limit has increased from 15 minutes to 45 minutes, with the exception of certain transformations; such as, Atomix, Clockwork, and Ultimate Forms. The Omniverse version, in contrast, was sporadic in its time-limit.

* Proper safeguards were added to prevent another incident with the sentient Ultimate Forms.

* Includes a another feature that downloads a transformation's base abilities into Ben's mind the first time he uses them. Naturally, he still needs to practice using his new form's abilities in order to properly master them.
* After having awakened his anodite powers, Ben is now able to manipulate mana at will, though he still needs to train to become more proficient at it.

## Relationships

### Erza Scarlet

His main love interest and current girlfriend. Meeting him after he defeated Natsu in battle, Erza developed respect for him, and it grew seeing his selfless attitude. The two eventually developed combative respect, and unknowingly began developing feelings for one another over time. During the Tower of Heaven Arc, he learned of Erza's tragic past, and vocally supported her. Similarly, Erza was one of the most distraught and determined to save him from the clutches of the Entrapment Spell, even giving him a kiss when he was about to give in to despair. Afterwards, the two realized fully that they were in love, and after a date,they started dating . Ben has also stated that she is just as stubborn as Natsu.

### Natsu Dragneel

One of Ben’s first friends since coming to Earthland. Natsu was the one who invited him to join the Fairy Tail guildHe reminds the Omnitrix bearer his 10-year old self; reckless, boastful, yet courageous and determined to protect those he cares about.   Ben had to deal with Natsu petty antics such as getting challenged to a fight, in which he won all of them using various aliens (Cannonbolt and Gravattack to take advantage of a dragon slayer's weakness to motion sickness, along with Grey Matter and Nanomech to quickly knock him out). During the Oracion Seis arc, The two of them had a falling out with Ben calling Natsu out for rushing head on into the enemy without a plan. This caused the latter to be influenced by the Nirvana spell and attacked Ben. They reconciled after the battle was over, with that incident still etched into their memories

## History

In the Summer of 200X, Benjamin Kirby Tennyson, or most commonly referred to as Ben, went on a Cross-Country Road Trip together with his grandfather and cousin, Max Tennyson and Gwendolyn Tennyson. During the first night Ben discovered the Omnitrix through a directed meteor upon crashing, latching onto him once the it recognized his grandfather's genetic match through his DNA.

## Trivia

* As opposed as Azmuth was to include the Evolutionary Function, he recognized that it had aided Ben numerous times during his hero tenure and reluctantly decided to include it in his latest Omnitrix model.
* Ben's appearance is heavily inspired by his *Heroes United* look with a Hiro Mashima character style flare added in.
* Ironically, despite wanting to keep a low profile, Ben didn't like being called the "Take-Over Wizard".
