  • I was thinking of what if Ben 10 was Ben X instead, I honestly think Ben X sounds cooler and X being the Roman numeral for 10 makes sense. Which version do you think sounds better?

  • Ehhhhh, I'd rather prefer Ben 10.

  • What if X was like his superhero name. I never really thought of ben 10 as a secret identity since it has his name in it so what if X was bens secret identity a superhero with the power to transform into different aliens, It would never happen but its fun to think about.

  • Ehhhhh, I'd rather prefer Ben 10.

    @Tactical-Ochoa No problem, but I prefer Ben X honestly, it sounds more mature than Ben 10 which sounds childish to me.

    @Omni-Triforcer Max Steel and Danny Phantom is a secret identity, both are the heroes real name. I rather Ben have a secret identity than be famous again, it just ruined it for me honestly.

  • Yeah i don't want ben to be famous again but i just feel that ben 10 isnt concealing his identity well enough. (Danny Fenton/Danny Phantom was so obvious everyone in that show is stupid

    @Rexfan1333 I don't mind if people know of Ben's heroic deeds. The problem however was that the writers decided to have Ben be treated as a celebrity. Eventually Ben's secret would end up getting out to the public. It's just how they implement that very aspect of the series that matters the most. What should have been done is that people should honor Ben for his sheer heroism and be inspired by all the good that he's done. Not treat him like a celebrity. The writers should've had people view Ben much like how Ben 10,000 was viewed as in the Original Series. Not like how Ben was viewed as in Ultimate Alien and Omniverse. Ben should be seen as a hero. Not as a celebrity.

    @Tactical-Ochoa That's way better and would help Ben not have such a huge ego like in Omniverse. Maybe like have him fight a really powerful villain and having a tough time fighting that villain and people watch in amazement and showing his self-sacrificing side to protect those people. (earning those peoples respect as we'll even his bullies grow to respect him)

    @Rexfan1333 That's pretty much one of the best ways that this can be done. Either way, just overall have people see Ben as the very hero that he is and there we go. That's really all that needs to be done with that very concept.

    @Tactical-Ochoa Yeah, I like the idea of a underdog hero with a tough life, but still sees the good in people Ben than a celebrity hero who is arragont with a huge ego Ben.

    @coreofthesun Venom is a better comparison to Kevin. I wouldn't be surprised either if the creation of Ben was inspired by Peter. Makes sense to me since that Man of Action were former Marvel writers before they formed Man of Action. That's one of the things that made Ben at his best. When he's being cocky and fun-loving yet also mature and serious. This is something that I think the Original Series did well with and the sequel shows and the reboot show often fell short on. Ben was either too serious and therefore boring and uninteresting to watch or too much of a goofball and therefore became annoying and unlikable. I felt that the Original Series had a good balance between the two sides of Ben. In fact, I say that the Original Series had a good balance of a lot of things. The characters, the tone, etc. I think it also helps that Ben had Gwen by his side. I think one of Omniverse's biggest mistakes was separating Ben and Gwen. Those two just work so well together. They balance each other out. They keep each other in check. They're like Batman and Robin, or on the topic of Spider Man, like Peter Parker and Mary Jane. I think Ben doesn't work well as a character without Gwen and vice versa. It's why I don't think Ben worked well as a character in Omniverse and it's why I don't think a Gwen spin-off show would work either.

    Thinking more about AmpFibian, there is a big issue with this alien that I recently realized. As I stated before, I am going to start implementing the realism factor to my list and my reason as to why. Therefore, I'm thinking of making a new page where I revise my list to factor in the realistic and believable aspect of Ben's aliens. In regards to AmpFibian, this alien has the ability to fly and float. The issue is that he looks like a jellyfish. There's no wings that he uses. There's no gliders. There's nothing that explains in a reasonable and sensible way what allows AmpFibian to fly and float in air as if he's in water. Therefore, it doesn't make AmpFibian a realistic and believable alien due to this ludicrous characteristic. If AmpFibian is fully aquatic and therefore ONLY has mobility in big enough bodies of water, then the problem is pretty much solved...except I already have Ripjaws in this list and even if Ripjaws needs water to breathe, he's still able to go out onto land while this fix for AmpFibian would greatly limit his mobility on land. I believe I stated this before as well, AmpFibian's electrical abilities would also likely cause some significant collateral damage if used in water. Hell, AmpFibian can even shock himself if he comes into contact with water. Therefore, AmpFibian is out and I'd rather keep Buzzshock in my list.

    @jondennison72 You mean like Plumber stuff and fight aliens and such while Ben and Gwen are not around? That would be cool.

    @chronosapien234 Maybe then. Honestly, I'm getting tired of Cartoon Network releasing toy lines for Ben 10. It's not a bad thing to do but Cartoon Network just does it in a way that it just shows that they're just further exploiting the Ben 10 brand just to get cash in on the series further. The amiibo idea you mentioned does sound good but has a strong likelihood of being badly executed by Cartoon Network but lego Ben 10 in a way that you discuss? To me, I just don't know about that one and I wouldn't recommend it knowing Cartoon Network. It can be a good idea as long as it's done the right way though.
