Ben to Ben 10,000

What are your head canons on the matter? What was Ben's "bad day?"

Tactical Ochoa

@andrew42 My head canon? Well, my guess is that someone very important to Ben got hurt. I say that someone is Gwen since that she would be one of the, if not the most, important person to Ben. If you want what I think is the best example of Ben reaching that breaking point, then I would recommend the Ben 10 fanfics, Little Moments and Breaking Point (even though Breaking Point isn't finished yet) as well as the prequel chapter, Little Moment: Stone in the River (you should read that first since that, well, it's a prequel). They're Bwen fanfics (if you haven't known yet) but even if you're not into that shipping, I still highly recommend checking them out. I have everything about this series linked on a page on this website. Again, I say that this is the best example of how Ben could reach his breaking point and becoming Ben 10,000.

Did we ever get anything cannon on what made ben10k joyless?

Tactical Ochoa

@oldtaku_dd Not really. Like I said, we never really got the chance to see how exactly Ben became Ben 10,000. Cartoon Network never covered that.

Why don't Man Of Action go ahead and make the Ben 10 Reboot episode of Ben 10,000 for season 2 in the future on Cartoon Network that'll be cool. So what you think?

Offbeatcat

I personally don't think they'll ever show how ben becomes ben 10000. They need to keep him young. Unfortunately.

Tactical Ochoa

@andrew42 Yeah, part of me thinks that too. Gotta make Ben "relatable" otherwise kids won't watch the show, even though there are plenty of adult superheroes that many many kids out there are big fans of.

Ben: "Getting older then 10 was the biggest mistake of my life"

Tactical Ochoa

@andrew42 And where is that quote from?

Offbeatcat

@tactical-ochoa
Me. I made it up

Tactical Ochoa

@andrew42 Ok, that's what I thought.
