Benjamin "Ben" Tennyson^[2] is a NPC in Cartoon Network Universe: FusionFall. He is a human teenager,^[3] the grandson of Max Tennyson, and the cousin of Gwen. Armed with the powerful alien artifact known as the Omnitrix that lets him transform into different alien lifeforms,^[3][4] Ben serves as one of the leaders against Planet Fusion's invasion of the Earth.^[3]

Physical appearance

Ben is a light-skinned human teenager with short brown hair and green eyes. For attire, he wears a green jacket with white stribes and a black and white "10" symbol on the left side over a black t-shirt, blue jeans, and black and white sneakers. On his left wrist, he wields the Omnitrix, a wristwatch-like device.

History

FusionFall: Worlds Collide

In the Manga, after the first Terrafusers landed on Earth, ten-year-old Ben (as Four Arms) teamed up with Dexter to defend Foster's Home, Mac, and Bloo from the Fusion Spawn invaders. With the help of Professor Utonium, Dexter developed plans for an Electronic Pulse Cannon to disable the Terrafusers. Unfortunately, two key parts to the EPC were in the custody of both his nemesis, Mandark, and the villain, Mojo Jojo. Mojo's lair was raided by a team consisting of Ben, Numbuh Two, Bubbles, and Blossom. Ben was able to bypass Mojo's security system as the Galvanic Mechamorph he called "Upgrade."

Despite a Fusion Spawn attack, the part was recovered without a hitch. Ben (once again as Four Arms) then helped defend Dexter's ship against the Fusion Spawns in order to buy him and Professor Utonium time to fire the cannon. However, due to a miscalculation by Mandark, the cannon was too late to stop the Terrafusers from summoning Planet Fusion and its army to Earth.

Fusion Invasion

The Future

In the Future, Ben and Numbuh Five were combating Fusion Spawns during the battle of Tech Square when they found Avatar in the middle of the battlefield as they woke up from Dexter's time travel experiment having gone awry. Amidst the chaos, Ben and Numbuh Five taught the Avatar about basic combat when they ran into some Fusion Spawns and a Cyberus. After taking care of these threats and bringing the Avatar up to speed on the Fusion Invasion, Ben and Numbuh Five left to help the others in Tech Square while the Avatar left to help out Numbuh Two. After the battle of Tech Square, which ended with the area being lost in a sea of Fusion Matter, it was rumored that Ben did not make it out of there before it was too late.^[1]

The Past

In the Past, Ben is in Offworld Plaza, serving as one of the four guides whom players can choose to work for. His Missions entail trying to stop Fuse from getting his hands on alien technology on Earth. He is constantly lending a hand in the fight against Fuse and his minions, whether he is fighting, helping his Grandpa Max create his satellite to survey Planet Fusion, or cleaning up the Space Port with the aid of the Kids Next Door.^[5]

Ben is having more problems than usual with the Omnitrix, which started acting strangely as soon as Planet Fusion appeared. With a basic understanding of how the Omnitrix works, Dexter helps to keep the Omnitrix stable when it starts to go haywire. When Ben is able to use the Omnitrix, Fusion Gwen always appears to steal a piece from his alien hero forms, such as a talon from Jetray, fur from Spidermonkey, a stone from Chromastone, and a swamp root from Swampfire, presumably in order to create Fusion versions of them. Later it was shown Fuse had also stolen a scale from Humongousaur, and had earlier acquired a barbell from Four Arms. It is revealed by Paradox that Vilgax is the one who figured out how to disrupt Ben's Omnitrix (with the unintentional assistance of the hero/heroine) by somehow blocking the Omnitrix's signal from Primus. Together with Paradox, Azmuth, and the Ben 10 crew, the hero/heroine will try to get Ben's Omnitrix back to normal.

After a series of robberies by Fusion Gwen, Ben believes that she is trying to make Fusions of his alien alter egos. He sends the hero/heroine to recover stolen DNA from the Fusion in Steam Alley. Defeating the Fusion and getting the stolen alien DNA, the hero returns to Ben with the samples of the aliens. After receiving the samples, he sends the Chromastone Crystal, Spidermonkey Fur, and Jetray Talon to Dexlabs for Nano creation. He gives the Hero one last objective: Defeat Fusion Gwen and use the Swamp Root to create a Swampfire Nano. The Hero infiltrates Fusion Gwen's lair, and after she has been defeated, it is revealed the she doesn't have the Swamp Root. Searching further, the Hero finds that Fusion Ben has the root and is working with Fusion Gwen. After a furious battle between the two, the Hero defeats Fusion Ben and creates a Swampfire Nano.

Trying to make more Nanos, or improve already created ones to win the war, Dexlabs and Mandark Industries create a group of Dexbots and Mandroids to get DNA samples from various characters such as Grandpa Max, Numbuh One, Ace, and Mojo Jojo. Mandroid M-99 in City Station sends the hero to obtain a sample of Ben's DNA or something he treasures most to create a Nano of him. Ben is forced to give up his Sumo Slammer card in order to create his Nano. Though he says that he'll miss it, he still gives it away.

Some time later, Ben becomes increasingly concerned that the planet Anur Phaetos (the homeworld of his Ectonurite alien transformation Ghostfreak) may be in league with Fuse in the plot to control Earth. Ben sends the Hero to talk to Vilgax about Ben's theory. Vilgax refuses to talk unless the Hero can obtain a DNA sample of the local Fusion Monsters in the area. Ben devises a plan to get a DNA sample of the Fusion monsters, but use the Omnitrix to render it inert, asserting that Vilgax will never know. The hero ventures into the Skypad Infected Zone and gets a sample of the Sawbreaker. Successful in his/her mission, the Hero returns to Ben and gives the sample to Vilgax, causing Vilgax to tell what he knows.

After this, Ben sends the Hero to Galaxy Gardens after having received information from Max that there is a Plumber stationed there who has a device the can detect any Ectonurites that try to enter the Earth's atmosphere. Again the hero ventures to Galaxy Gardens to talk to Plumber Nathan. After the hero meets with him, Nathan says that he has what Max needs, but it's in the Infected Zone. Going in after it, the hero returns with the device to Ben, who now needs it to be set up.

When the hero later successfully frees Chromastone and Echo Echo from Vilgax's claws, Ben discovers another alien signal coming from Vilgax's Ship. This time, Ben has chosen to come along with the hero to help rescue the last alien. As Echo Echo, he guides the hero while Kevin and Gwen handle Vilgax's security measures and maintaining portals and platforms, etc. The two then split up to cover more ground (inasmuch as Echo Echo can multiply himself). When the hero looks elsewhere, he/she finds that Vilgax has come up with a way to activate his Bioids without the Omnitrix. The hero uses his/her NanoCom to take readings of the Bioids and defeats a few. The hero meets up with Ben at a waypoint and the two once again split. Ben explains that Vilgax is somehow hijacking the signal that the Omnitrix receives from Primus with a receiver device of some sort. The hero gets a receiver from the Bioid Echo Echoes and gives it to Ben. Now that Ben and the hero have the receiver, Kevin thinks that he can disrupt the signal remotely using Ben's Omnitrix. Lastly, the Hero/heroine frees Ultimate Swampfire from his holding tub. The two regroup back on Ship.

After a series of warning messages from time portals all over and the hero's coming back with the blueprints for Nanos, Dexter decides to take action quickly and stop Fuse's invasion before it advances. DexLabs, with the help of the Plumbers and Providence, create a training courses to help upcoming heroes train to fight Fuse. Ben and a handful of other heroes join the project. Ben has undertaken the task to help first level newcomers adjust to a life of fighting Fuse in the Null Void training area. He teaches the cadets about the basic things such as Resurrect 'Ems and fighting Fusion monsters. After the recruits complete a series of tasks, Ben believes that they are ready to fight a Fusion boss. With the help of Dexlabs, the Plumbers, and Providence, the resistance have managed to capture Fusion Finn, who had been lurking around the area and attacking heroes. The recruit is sent to defeat him and create a Finn Nano. After victory against Fusion Finn, Ben sends the recruit to the Providence Petting Zoo for further training.

Origin

Benjamin "Ben" Kirby Tennyson originates from the 2005 American animated series Ben 10 and its follow-up series. In that media, he is the titular protagonist of the series. An ordinary human from the town of Bellwood, he is the grandson of the legendary Plumber, Max Tennyson, and the cousin of Gwendolyn Tennyson.

Ben was an average kid until he accidentally found the Omnitrix at the age of ten, an alien device that allowed him to turn into ten different alien species, and discovering more as time went on. With the powers of the Omnitrix, he began his long career as a crime fighter with Max and Gwen by his side. During his adventures, he also met Kevin Levin, who became an enemy of his until he joined Ben, Gwen, and Max in the fight against extraterrestrial threats to the planet. When Gwen and Kevin later retired from their adventures, Ben received Rook Blonko as his partner.

Although Ben started out as an immature glory hog and clumsy kid, the many trials and adventures he went through, along with the new Omnitrixes he gained along the way, allowed him to gradually grow into a true hero recognized across Earth and beyond, and would go on to save the universe multiple times.

Trivia

• Ben is unique as he is the only Guide with more than one Nano of himself. Though his standard human form is not an available Nano, six of his alien alteregos are.

  

• Interestingly, all of his Nanos are Cosmix, excepting Rath, who is Blastons.
• After the events of "Space Port Pickups" mission line, it was said that a Nano of his fifteen-year old self was in development.
• Originally, Ben was going to be ten years old. However, with the release and popularity of Ben 10: Alien Force, the developers replaced him with his fifteen-year-old self. The Swampfire and Humungousaur Nanos were originally to be Ghostfreak and Upgrade; however, they were replaced as well. There was not enough time to replace Four Arms. Furthermore, the younger version of Ben (and therefore, the younger Ben's aliens) were in the comic.
• A Nano of young Ben was planned to be available at the release of Cartoon Network Universe: FusionFall, but due to the replacement of young Ben with his Ben 10: Alien Force incarnation, he was scrapped.
• Like the Scotsman, Professor Utonium, and Courage, Ben's Fusion is fought twice in the same area (Offworld Plaza) though unlike the other three, the real Ben is also located in the same area.
• Ben, Finn, and Bubbles are the only characters whose Fusion counterpart gives out two Nanos: Alien X and Swampfire.
• Ben is one of four NPCs to give out two Nano Missions. The other three are Dexter, Lance, and Grandpa Max.
• In-game, Ben doesn't wear the Ultimatrix or the Ben 10: Alien Force version of the Omnitrix, despite both series starting and ending after the release of Cartoon Network Universe: FusionFall.
