My least favorite Ben 10 character: Rook Blonko
-
Rook is the most boring Ben 10 character out there. He took Gwen and Kevins place and brings nothing new to the table. He is just a static character that does nothing to the plot. The only thing he does do, is that he never beleive in anything Ben have accomplished during the years, and are completely fine with all the stupid retcons in the show, and some of them might not even be there if he had just shut his mouth. Rook is also very rude, having high pride in himself and ignoring that Ben has more experience than him. Rook is also not a good friend, even though many fans thinks he is. I beleive that he is secretly evil. Maybe hes actually working for the Rooters, and he was the one that came up with whole stupid Kevin Levin retcon story. Even so, I really hate Rook Blonko and is never gonna like him. If he shows up in the next Ben 10 show, then its already ruined for me.

@mortie-10 It's been a while since I've seen Omniverse, but from what I recall, Rook did contribute significantly in a lot of the stuff that went on in the show. He's not a bad character and a lot of the stuff that you say about him is flat out wrong. Like what do you mean by he's completely fine with the retcons and some of the retcons wouldn't be there if he didn't talk about them. The show's retcons are not on Rook. That's on the crew that made Omniverse. Also, secretly evil and working for the Rooters? Seriously? Come on, man. That's freakin ridiculous and makes it seem like you're blindly disliking Omniverse. I don't consider Omniverse to be a good show, but I wouldn't go that far with Rook.
There is one thing that I do agree on the most, and that's Rook replacing Gwen and Kevin. Mainly Gwen though. Ben and Gwen work very well together. They have pretty much the best and most dynamic relationship in Ben 10. They fit each other like a glove so much that Gwen just doesn't seem like the type of character that should be replaced as Ben's partner. Rook doesn't feel like a proper replacement either. He seems better off as a side character than a main character. I don't mind Rook being introduced into the Ben 10 franchise, but he most definitely shouldn't have replaced Gwen and shouldn't have been a main character.
