ben 10

Ben 10 is an American animated television series created by "Man of Action" (a group consisting of Duncan Rouleau, Joe Casey, Joe Kelly, and Steven T. Seagle), and produced by Cartoon Network Studios. The pilot episode aired on December 27, 2005, as part of a sneak peek of Cartoon Network's Saturday morning lineup. The second episode was shown as a special on Cartoon Network's Fridays on January 13, 2006, on which the first and second episodes were shown back-to-back. The theme song for the show was written by Andy Sturmer and sung by Moxy.

The main focus of the series is the Omnitrix, a watch-like alien device found by Ben in the first episode. Using it, Ben can transform into a number of different aliens, which he uses to battle the various villains in the series. As explained in the show, the Omnitrix works by binding alien DNA to Ben's, transforming him into the alien of his choice for a short period and then reverting him back to normal. As revealed in Ben 10: Race Against Time, the limited period in which it stays active (approximately 10 minutes) is a failsafe designed to keep the alien DNA from overwhelming the user.

5 of 10 Alien in the Omnitrix

DIAMOND HEAD

Made from an extremely durable crystal, Diamondhead is nearly invulnerable. Additionally, his sharp crystal body discourages physical contact, as crystal spikes can be grown almost instantly from any point of contact and retracted just as quickly. Diamondhead can also alter his own physiology, allowing him to regrow lost limbs if necessary. Light-based weapons are also useless against Diamondhead, as his crystal body acts as a prism, refracting light and beam-based weaponry and sending it back at its source. He can also spread diamonds on to objects to protect them.

XLR8

Like all Kinecelerans, XLR8 can move at speeds reaching 500 mph, and can reach such speeds almost instantly. This extreme speed comes from manipulating friction, which allows XLR8 to run on almost any surface, including water or walls, with ease. The Bandai profiles also create another contrast with this ability: actual Kinecelerans are said to be incapable of running on slippery surfaces. Furthermore, because of their constant motion, Kinecelerans build up large stores of static electricity, which reacts badly with water.^[13] XLR8 has showed no such ability.

Fourarms

Fourarms' dense muscles are also his weakness. Built for power instead of speed, Fourarms is at a disadvantage against faster or smaller opponents. This also forces a dependence on his armored body, as he is incapable of dodging quickly. His size also makes it difficult for him to use things designed by smaller species. Buildings, especially, are a problem for Fourarms, since he usually cannot fit through doors or in rooms. Controlling his own strength is also a problem, and much of the damage he causes is often unintentional.

Heatblast

Heatblast's natural abilities also necessitate care when handling people or other things that do not react well to intense heat. As Heatblast cannot reduce his ambient temperature to human levels, he cannot directly rescue people or remain in contact with objects for anything longer than a few seconds without lighting them on fire. Heatblast gets around this by creating vortexes of flame to transport things without actually touching them. In addition, Heatblast himself is vulnerable to things that extinguish flame, namely water, sand, or foam. While small amounts of such materials simply evaporate, large amounts over an extended period can kill a Pyronite. However Heatblast has been shown to be able to swim and survive underwater and even to a certain extent been able to use his powers for a minute or so. When he gets a cold, it directly affects his powers, giving him ice-abilities.
