Welcome Ben 10 fans of NS!
Ben 10, if you don't know, is a superhero cartoon franchise originally created by a group called Man of Action (Duncan Rouleau, Joe Casey, Joe Kelly, and Steven T. Seagle). The original series aired on Cartoon Network from 2005 to 2008, with the sequels lasting up to 2014. A reboot is due this year.
The series is about a boy named Ben Tennyson who, while on a road trip vacation with his grandpa, Max, and his cousin, Gwen, stumbles across an alien watch called the Omnitrix which bonds itself to his wrist. Ben discovers that the watch has alien DNA encoded in it which allows him to transform into a variety of aliens (initially 10 but he gains more) with their own set of superpowers. Thus as the vacation goes on, Ben uses the device to take on any threats that come his way while causing a few bouts of mischief in the process. Along the way Ben learns that he didn't gain the Omnitrix by coincidence, as some of his family have been involved with aliens long before he has, and there are much bigger conflicts beyond the planet Earth as well.
With the reboot due this year, it seems as good a time as any to start a thread.
