Another is the ending of so long and thanks for the smoothies. EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE that Ben ever loved is DEAD. Though he did remake it all, it still doesn’t erase that fact.
Rudra Khatri Missed a few, but not a bad list at all. I remember all of these. My only complaint was said an another comment, which was there should have been a mention when Charmcaster ACTUALLY WINS. It was undone (no spoilers as to how and why, but it wasn’t charmcaster herself who undid her technical mass murder of her entire realm), but still, for a brief moment Ben, Kevin, and even Gwen (who normally bested her) were literally and truly dead. That episode was dark as f*ck. I still remember the chills and numbness I had when the episode ended. I’d say the Ben 10 franchise has some of the darkest moments in kids shows I’ve ever seen. Right alongside Super Robot Monkey Team Hyper Force Go, which was a great yet weird show, but goddamn if it didn’t have moments or entire episodes that could be considered horror centric, and the shows art style can be misleading when you first watch it.
@@lunartears6761 oh yes i remember it correctly. That was one of the darkest moments. That's why i said it "looks" like. I would like to see a list like this but made by an dedicated fan like Kurro the artist or someone. But still these guys were quite one point for lot's of them. Like the Stockholm synonym storyline in a kids show... That's the most darkest thing. It just doesn't show that a cartoon can get so mature but also that it doesn't have to get out of tone. As even as a kid i was able to understand it and feel it.
Another thing that should have been added on the list was a moment from Ben 10 omniverse where a time bomb goes off killing off all these different dimension Ben’s. Including the original we grew up with. I remember feeling so sad after watching that.
But also when Ben absorbs Diagon’s powers inside of Ascalon and armed with the Ultimatrix, Vilgax claims Ben as Supreme Being and temps him to use Nigh Omnipotence to reshape the Universe in his image.
No mention of when Charmcaster shatters and kills Ben, kills Gwen and Kevin, then sacrifices every living thing in her realm to Cthulu to bring her dad back to life. Then her dad realizes what she did and kills himself in front of her to undo her work, leaving her a broken sobbing mess on the ground.
Notice how most of these moments are from Alien Force and Ultimate Alien . This shows how this version of him went to a darker tone.... Thats why they are my favorites
@Arvin Borkar Well Omniverse had a happier color palette, but the dark moments where still there like the fact that Ben had to recreate the universe knowing that he is the only survivor from that universe he knew
that is a dark moment. but we actually didn't went through that. they acted like nothing happened. especially ben. ben in the omniverse is so dumb he didn't even realized everybody he knows is dead. what can you expect from a guy who spelled annihilaargh after many tries. in ultimate alien he could spell perplexahedron without any problem.
Or the fact that after multiple failed attempts to kill an unarmed, defenseless version of Ben they then erased every other timeline from existence and Ben had to basically reboot the entire universe
Yes. I loved it. But the animation and detailing was less good compared to the OG. Omniverse was very childish, especially with no eyes for Ben and grandpa (Though Ben looked very cute for some moments).
For real, Ghostfreak was absolutely terrifying. The build up to Ghostfreak's escape was so freaking amazing. Ghostfreak vs Zombozo in the episode "The Last Laugh" all the up to "Ghostfreaked out" was just awesome

Next scene Ben and Kevin are running in to find Gwen eating cotton candy with Ben’s mom next to her. Zombozo is no where in sight and is never seen again.
@@manwithabasicprofilepic He's in Omniverse so he is seen again; she just scared him; pretty sure its mentioned in Omniverse too, whenever he see's her he cowers
Gwen ripped out one of zombozo’s eyes and ate it.

It was implied due to Gwen eating cotton Candy. Temporary form of anodite not being a cannibal by a technicality. That’s that I think is my theory.
This shows that omnitrix is a powerful weapon and can corrupt even good people. and its amazing that ben did not get corrupted by that power and still helps people without misusing it.
Gotta' say, the fact Charmcaster's sacrifice of all life for her father's return to life is not on here is a bit sad. To me it's one of the moments that is the darkest of all the series showing the raw desperation of one to be reunited with a departed loved one. Yes, the alien from Area 51 is a good example of losing an entire family but Charmcaster's resurrection method for her father answers the darkest question: If you could do it, would you?
I always thought they roughed him up and left him to die but survived. When I saw on the wiki that he was deceased I didn't believe until Kevin said that he was in fact dead. Made me super sad to hear that Pierce really did die.
I was waiting for it, it changes ben maybe if they mentioned ben10000 first appearance aswell when he went all serious but nothing very dark came from him. But only mentions how he "left vilgax into pieces"
@@redhood7650 At the end of the episode Max turns a null void projector into a hand grenade and sacrifices himself to stop the Highbreed. Ben has to watch this and believes Max is dead for the rest of season 1. It's not until season 2 that we find out Max is alive BUT he DID infact try to kill himself to save everyone. The grenade sent him into the null void by accident. Dark but noble stuff.
You forgot about this: In the Omniverse. Universe was destroyed, but Ben use Alien X power to create a near copy of his universe. That's mean everyone died but Ben create copies of his friends in new universe.
What about that episode in Alien Force where Gwen tries to prevent Kevin from mutating but then in the future Hex and Charmcaster won, Kevin got turned evil, Ben was captured and injured, and Gwen got killed by Charmcaster so that the Gwen that time travelled had to reverse the effects of the time travel.
@Sorafanful that one probably because alternate gwen was killed offscreen. although having ben in a very obvious torture set up and the post apocalyptic world would have guarranted honorary mention
@@robertcagatin3690 also the early hints of ben's inhumane capabilities of not really caring from omniverse (like when the universe got destroyed in omniverse and he was fine thanks to the copy he made except for the quality of his smoothies). ben at the end of the episode where charmcaster killed him and his friends was like "hey, wanna grab a bite ? i am hungry". as in a "we died, sure, but we are alive again. all ends that ends well" mood. even kevin was a little disturbed about how "they died
Missed opportunity not to mention when Vilgax in Omniverse killed every incarnation of Ben throughout the multiverse ( except no watch Ben) or when even the fact that when Ben recreated the universe everyone he originally knew is technically dead and he's living with clones basically.
Yes, that last one is as hardcore as omniverse got. When you think about it, a story of Ben coping with that reality would be a really good story. Instead of just missing the smoothies from his original universe. Still, Omniverse was awesome.
This isn't a dark moment, but I still thought it was upsetting. In the episode "Alone Together", Ben and Reinrassig (Reiny) have to survive on a desert planet and we learn why the Highbreed wanted to wipe out the entire universe. Later, Reiny loses his hand after saving Ben's life and Swampfire repairs it, which was very heart-warming to me. They find the teleporter and Reiny says that he will stay on that planet because he's now 'unclean' because of what Ben did and the amount of time they spent together. Ben then gets home and his response to Gwen when she asks if Reiny got away is "I doubt it". It was upsetting to me because Reiny was willing to sacrifice himself for his people. It showed that the Highbreed really weren't that bad somewhere deep down in there. I don't know if anyone will agree with me and I don't really care, I just wanted to get this out.
If I recall, Reiny only stayed behind not as a sacrifice, but because he was so prejudiced he didn't believe he deserved to live anymore because he wasn't a purebred. It was only after all that time in solitude, that he realized how dumb he and the other Highbreed were for thinking like that, that they were on the verge of extinction because they inbred so much they were sterile and couldn't continue living until Ben dispersed random DNA into them.
@@OTDinosaurScrubs but doesn't the omnitrix fail safe turn him into anyone that will save him at the time therefore ghosfreak regardless of if they were on bad terms the where he dies from charmcaster shows it failed him when he should have transformed
I never liked that episode because Ben is really underestimated the writers made him weaker than he really is, even Young Ben was more savage than Teen Ben and would have probably taken out Captain Nemesis in less than 5 minutes. Out of all the aliens he could have used, he used the less useful. He could have used Diamondhead or Chromastone and reflects / absorb the blast. He could have gone Ultimate and ended the fight were he nearly died or could have used his second most powerful alien, Waybig and be all like Waybig:"Are you threatening me, pretty big talk for such a little guy!"
@@Nameless82284 the main problem with all of the omnitrix's excluding the alien force one before ben tampered with it was that he would hit the dial too hard and the watch would transform him into something else. The watch was not even designed for a human it was designed for someone with the same size as Azmuth. Ben slaps the watch way too hard. This was explained later in omniverse. And the ultimatrix was a huge mess it was an incomplete prototype which ben wore for the whole span of ultimate alien because the old omnitrix self destructed and the new one from omniverse was still in development. If you remember correctly you would know ben also couldnt stay in ultimate form or any alien form for a long time because the ultimatrix was too limited and weak.
@@ardzzz1010 I know that, I'm just pointing out the logic. Besides even at the end of the episode Ben could have gone Waybig and be all like "Are you threatening me?! Pretty big talk for such a little guy!" But most importantly Diamondhead or Chromastone would have been better options as they can reflect/absorbed energy blast. I know Ben was lower down for the episode but this doesn't seem like Ben at all. Even Young Ben was more powerful.
What about eon? The way that he's an alternate ben (race against time) actively hunting down other bens and turning them into slaves or just killing them is pretty damn dark since we don't know exactly how he ended up that way.
@@ethansatterfield5958 no I don't think so remember in Omniverse he said that he was an Alternative ben and still got erased if he wasn't he wouldn't have been erased
@@grattifywhatifs453 wacth Ben 10 Race Against Time it said that Eon is an alien or at least in that timeline. Although the Ben from Race Against Time could have been the frist Ben that Eon tried to take over before he was able to take one over.
There was one more darkest thing in Ben 10: In the original future at the age of 20 Ben lost his childlike glee of being hero, resulting him more serious and mutilate Vilgax. This event caused Ben stay in different kinds of aliens, but most at the time at XLR8 during 10 years.
The Omniverse episode "And then there were none" where Ben sacrifices himself for Non-Omnitrix Ben was one of the best moments. "Remember it's just a gadget, be the Hero"
Oh yeah, that's right. That was seriously fucked-up. ''Lex Luthor removing Speedy's arm for the unlimited DNA supply for cloning reasons in Young Justice'' fucked-up. The feeling it gave me wasn't right
Don't forget the origins of the DNAliens. I remember in episode 1 or 2 Ben killed alot of DNAliens by crashing their ship into a mountain. It looked awesome at first, until they learn where DNAliens actually came from.
@@sabonnzm7193 actually Ben 10 enthusiast Kuro the Artist put together a really compelling theory for Kevin's backstory where his previous arcs aren't Retcon'd and still fits with the Rooters arc
I'm not sure if it counts, but what about in forge of creation, when Ben revealed that at least some of his joking and treating things like a big game were really just a coping method for everything he has to deal with. Particularly because the Ben who says it isn't the 16 year old one, it's the 10 year old.
Ben 10 was a big part of my childhood. So was Danny Phantom, Teen Titans, Suite Life of Zack and Cody, Suite Life on Deck, Jimmy Neutron, Fairly OddParents, Back at the Barnyrad, and Scooby-Doo. Just to name a few
@@zidanedidi agreed it would be awful and it also made you think what about the other lifeforms in their. They all seem to be alive even tho it was just a few cells taken from the alien. But it also makes you think if Ben is truly Ben in the show or a mix of different alien personalities.
It stated that Ghostfreak’s race still live even in a small sample of DNA, so it’s mostly unique to him, currently Ghostfreak’s no longer connected to Zs’Skayr so Ben has full control. The episode where Big Chill took over was due to its reproductive instincts. The Ultimates were due to a glitch that was fixed.
I was expecting to see on this list the part of Ben 10: Omniverse where all the universe gets erased and Alien X recreates it, meaning everyone except Ben are just replicates :(
I’m surprised storylines from Omni verse weren’t included in this video. Malware’s origin story was pretty dark. Especially given his history with Azmuth. Not to mention the feedback storyline where we learn how Ben lost that transformation in the first place and how he basically became depressed as a result of its destruction at the hands of malware.
@@collinsvincent9925 as someone born too late to only see the reboot on TV, seeing these storylines of the older shows really make me fucking pissed on what I missed because of humanity getting too sensitive

The "Catch a falling star" episode along with the ones Ben threatened to kill the Forever Knights were my two top favorite dark moments in Ben 10 universe.
@@WhiteDarkness3113 No offense but I hate Omniverse. They butchered every single good character from Julie to Vilgax. Not to mention it had its cringy moments
I hated Omniverse too.... the art style, the way characters were treated, those weird and stupid looking new aliens and the comedy!!! I wish it all ended in ultimate alien. Seriously I dislike Omniverse so much that I like to think its not cannon
Ghostfreak never failed to give me nightmares back then. The only reason i stopped having nightmares about him is because I started to had the balls to watch courage the cowardly dog as a kid
There was also that time when Kevin absorbed Gwen's energy. That was shocking. There was also the two times that the universe was destroyed. There was also that time when Hope killed Ben and Gwen by having their souls sucked out and used to bring back her father.
Ben 10 was my childhood. I used to download images of the aliens and characters and draw and colour them on A4 sheets. Thanks WatchMojo for making this list. I hope there are more.
morningstar isn't limited to one gender or the other, he just chooses to only focus on the girls. that's even more disturbing than just turning people into zombie slaves.
@@zarkahmed3199 Agreed. Looking at it separately from the rest of the series, I actually like the reboot for the most part. Sure, it has issues, but when they focus on a good plot, it stands on par with some OG episodes. I mostly enjoy the hour-long specials. Innervasion, Ben Gen 10, Ben 10 vs the Universe, the special with Alien X hunting down alternate Bens (I forgot the episode name) those are awesome!
@@josephbiddle1637 I think it has a lot of other strengths, like Ben and Gwen not arguing all the time, the simplicity of Kevin's backstory, and Vilgax being an antagonist opposed to a villain.
@@Bashuraptor Oh, I agree. Especially with Kevin. I liked him as an ausmosian, but I love the decision to give him his own Omnitrix instead. The Omnitrix wearer vs Omnitrix wearer episodes are some of my favorites. Good Copy Bad Copy, And Then There Were None/ Was Ben, It's A Mad Mad Mad Ben World, etc.
Both Alien Force and Ultimate Alien were meant to be much darker than the Original Series. They just decided to make it light hearted again for Omniverse

Even the first seasons of the original series are quite dark for kid's standard. Limax episode, Kraab tries to hunt Ben, Zombozo, which is Ben's greatest fear , clown, and finally we have Vilgax, which is quite threatening as he's the toughest challenge ben had to face it that time. Despite he has the Omnitrix to face him, doesn't change the fact it's a fight between a 10 years old child against a hulking alien
This has to be one of the best Watchmojo videos in YEARS. The entries are well chosen. Way better than previous lists of yours. More Ben 10 material, please!
Ro_ cyberpunk I was creeped out by him even before he was revealed to be a villain. There was just something REALLY OFF about him. I’m not usually one who labels hugs as creepy, but I thought there was something really weird about Michael being so...um...close to some of the girls. Not his introduction scene per day, but after that, it just got strange.
6:19 I don't know what's more intimidating: Malware being able to just RIP aliens from the Omnitrix like that, or the fact he sounds EXACTLY like Megatron from Transformers Animated.
"You don't have to be an alien to be a monster" Says the energy being alien. Plus, what a redundant thing to say. By the logic of every other living species in the Galaxy of the Ben 10 Universe, humans are aliens. So Gwen's essentially saying "you don't have to be an existing being to be a monster".
Its kind of fitting here tho considering how Ben compares him to aliens and says he usually understands, but not in this case, so yeah. the phrase is well said at a good time
You know what really haunts me, the events of the Prisoner 775 episode are never mentioned again even though Max made it pretty clear how Earth was in violation of major laws
Why wasn’t the episode where charmcaster literally kills EVERYTHING in legerdemain, including Ben, Kevin, and even Gwen (who usually beat her in their encounters) on this list? It should have AT LEAST been an honorable mention!
Personally I feel like Ben threatening the Forever Knights in "The Purge" from Ultimate Alien should've made the list. Ben straight up says "I promise you will regret it for the rest of your very short lives"
Which Ben 10 Moment did you find the darkest? Did we miss any list-worthy moments that you would have included?!

Badass asf. Ben was the ultimate utilitarian.
All I learned from this show is that
DONT LET KEVIN TOUNCH THE OMNITRIX
Even when he’s a good guy.
@@manwithabasicprofilepic
Yes because he will turn evil
This shows that omnitrix is a powerful weapon and can corrupt even good people. and its amazing that ben did not get corrupted by that power and still helps people without misusing it.
@@saiakhilvudattu6816
Yeah Ben never misses it. Definitely but yeah you’re right you’d probably turn evil immediately if you had the omnitrix
I thnk you miss episode of Omniverse where Kevin had his final mutation and he was fine.
You gotta love it when a kids cartoon has mature themes
Yes, that's what more shows need now and days.
We should forget about new CN shows. Everybody knows that. They'll not make cartoons like (keyboard didn't typed "s" lol) old era cartoons.
*R.İ.P. CARTOON NETWORK 1992-2013*
Mature themes is what kids shows desperately need. Even have female characters showing cleavage. Even Disney does it.
Kids didn't understand and adults enjoyed it, it's not made for kids just cause it is a cartoon. Have you seen Rick and Morty.
"spoiler ahead" 🙂🤚 ma'am, we're all veteran Ben 10 fans
Like literally these are very old episodes.
I'm a 17yo girl but this was my childhood cartoon still love it❤️
I wouldn't call myself a "veteran" since I've not seen almost any of these.
Truuuuuuuuuue
Ha 😂😂😂
Gotta' say, the fact Charmcaster's sacrifice of all life for her father's return to life is not on here is a bit sad. To me it's one of the moments that is the darkest of all the series showing the raw desperation of one to be reunited with a departed loved one. Yes, the alien from Area 51 is a good example of losing an entire family but Charmcaster's resurrection method for her father answers the darkest question: If you could do it, would you?
Her father was a good soul really
It the general rozom fault. He should be punished.
R.I.P to my boy pierce.
He was murdered by the forever knights
But he died a hero....
I had no idea Pierce actually died. I always thought that he was just badly injured. I know that was the last time we saw him, but I never knew.
You know it's kind of a shame his death wasn't mentioned in Ultimate Alien.
@@Nameless82284 in omniverse they mentioned it
I always thought they roughed him up and left him to die but survived. When I saw on the wiki that he was deceased I didn't believe until Kevin said that he was in fact dead. Made me super sad to hear that Pierce really did die.
"You don't have to be an alien to be a monster"
I really love that line.
i feel the episode where gwen travel to the future where everything was ruled by charmcaster and hex should make the list
Good one!
I agree didnt know why mojo overlooked this
👍
There's also the moment where everything Ben ever loved died back in omniverse.
@@WatchMojo You keep forgetting Honourable or Dishonorable mentions...
'the self destruct will accelerate'
'I DONT CARE'
Such an epic moment
When you think about it, Paradox's backstory is really dark, he's literally driven to madness by his ordeal before becoming the man he is today.
ben 10 darkest moments
#1 ben 10 reboot
I was thinking when Ben 10 threatened genocide on forever knights
@@purpleheartneptune6267 Oh now I remember that was the Purge episode of Ultimate Alien where Pierce last appeared in
Or in Omniverse where everything and everyone that Ben has ever loved is dead.
Crimson Crusader no one cares
Yeah, despite that, he still has an almost exact copy of his universe, though this still doesn’t erase that fact that they’re all still dead.
I guess the Alien Force episode with Grandpa Max's "suicide" wasn't hardcore enough to make it on the list🤷
I was waiting for it, it changes ben maybe if they mentioned ben10000 first appearance aswell when he went all serious but nothing very dark came from him. But only mentions how he "left vilgax into pieces"
@Liam Berg (STUDENT) Max Out
@@williamhernandez3901 really? I don't remember that scene happening
True, this episode is really dark tho
@@redhood7650 At the end of the episode Max turns a null void projector into a hand grenade and sacrifices himself to stop the Highbreed. Ben has to watch this and believes Max is dead for the rest of season 1. It's not until season 2 that we find out Max is alive BUT he DID infact try to kill himself to save everyone. The grenade sent him into the null void by accident. Dark but noble stuff.
You forgot about this:
In the Omniverse. Universe was destroyed, but Ben use Alien X power to create a near copy of his universe. That's mean everyone died but Ben create copies of his friends in new universe.
What Ben 10 is that
I remember that and I hate it, thanks
@@deannahenry8925 It was omniverse
@@stephenking5852 right
yeah this is my biggest problem with omniverse. It's a serious moment for sure, but the series and ben himself treats it like a joke.
I think ghostfreaked out was the darkest episode of the entire series
Dude, I was watching that episode a few days back, and it still creeped me out ( I'm almost 18 now!)
Yes
Yea because of that illusion when he tried to save that kid as wildmutt
mine's when doctor animo uses the omnitrix to turn max into a human stinkfly mix it was so gross
This thing with Ghostfreak is terrifying
But my favorite has to be the injured Grandpa Max.
I just realised that Vilgax has serious Thanos vibes 😂
And Darkseid.
With a little bit of Cthulhu.
Think that the point
He's more like Darkseid to me. Especially his "moving beams".
THAN-THULU-SEID!
What about that episode in Alien Force where Gwen tries to prevent Kevin from mutating but then in the future Hex and Charmcaster won, Kevin got turned evil, Ben was captured and injured, and Gwen got killed by Charmcaster so that the Gwen that time travelled had to reverse the effects of the time travel.
Dark as hell
surprised the moment where charmcaster killed the mian 3 characters and the population of Ledgerdomain in UA wasn't even in the honorary mentions.
Exactly the deaths was kinda graphic too since their eyes is wide open.
@Sorafanful that one probably because alternate gwen was killed offscreen. although having ben in a very obvious torture set up and the post apocalyptic world would have guarranted honorary mention
@@ianr.navahuber2195 Still dark as in another timeline kevin became a mindless slave, gwen got killed, and ben got imprisoned for maybe eternity.
Yep she literally took their souls out of their body that's dark
@@robertcagatin3690 also the early hints of ben's inhumane capabilities of not really caring from omniverse (like when the universe got destroyed in omniverse and he was fine thanks to the copy he made except for the quality of his smoothies).
ben at the end of the episode where charmcaster killed him and his friends was like "hey, wanna grab a bite ? i am hungry". as in a "we died, sure, but we are alive again. all ends that ends well" mood.
even kevin was a little disturbed about how "they died
Missed opportunity not to mention when Vilgax in Omniverse killed every incarnation of Ben throughout the multiverse ( except no watch Ben) or when even the fact that when Ben recreated the universe everyone he originally knew is technically dead and he's living with clones basically.
Yes, that last one is as hardcore as omniverse got. When you think about it, a story of Ben coping with that reality would be a really good story. Instead of just missing the smoothies from his original universe. Still, Omniverse was awesome.
@@crimsoncrusader518 Honestly, the whole recreating the universe thing is some real Rick and Morty level stuff right there, man.
Exactly
@@thehuntbegins05.57 Know what I'm saying?
@@thehuntbegins05.57 Hell, why not have Ben tell one of the replicas of his friends that they're just a copy made by Alien X recreating the universe?
This isn't a dark moment, but I still thought it was upsetting. In the episode "Alone Together", Ben and Reinrassig (Reiny) have to survive on a desert planet and we learn why the Highbreed wanted to wipe out the entire universe. Later, Reiny loses his hand after saving Ben's life and Swampfire repairs it, which was very heart-warming to me. They find the teleporter and Reiny says that he will stay on that planet because he's now 'unclean' because of what Ben did and the amount of time they spent together. Ben then gets home and his response to Gwen when she asks if Reiny got away is "I doubt it".
It was upsetting to me because Reiny was willing to sacrifice himself for his people. It showed that the Highbreed really weren't that bad somewhere deep down in there. I don't know if anyone will agree with me and I don't really care, I just wanted to get this out.
Remeber that episode it was nice.
That is a very wholesome episode. Showing ben's maturity as a hero.
If I recall, Reiny only stayed behind not as a sacrifice, but because he was so prejudiced he didn't believe he deserved to live anymore because he wasn't a purebred. It was only after all that time in solitude, that he realized how dumb he and the other Highbreed were for thinking like that, that they were on the verge of extinction because they inbred so much they were sterile and couldn't continue living until Ben dispersed random DNA into them.
@@gabriellelala5383 Yep. Ben goes to talk to the Highbreed council and while he’s there Reiny shows up and backs Ben’s argument.
That's just one of the best episodes in the entire series
The episode in "Ben 10" where aliens were impersonating old people is dark
I still have it mini comic book which it...yeah, it pretty dark seeing the alien being the old people try to chase a little kid
Permanent retirement
I watched that it was terrifying
I was shit scared of that episode as a kid
The crazy part is that was in season 1! Episode 4, I think.

Still pretty dark
Watching that Stockholm Syndrome episode as a kid was so confusing. Looking back on it years later, it was a very dark episode
I never liked that episode because Ben is really underestimated the writers made him weaker than he really is, even Young Ben was more savage than Teen Ben and would have probably taken out Captain Nemesis in less than 5 minutes. Out of all the aliens he could have used, he used the less useful. He could have used Diamondhead or Chromastone and reflects / absorb the blast. He could have gone Ultimate and ended the fight were he nearly died or could have used his second most powerful alien, Waybig and be all like
Waybig:"Are you threatening me, pretty big talk for such a little guy!"
Sheikh Abdullah #1 on this list
@@Nameless82284 the main problem with all of the omnitrix's excluding the alien force one before ben tampered with it was that he would hit the dial too hard and the watch would transform him into something else. The watch was not even designed for a human it was designed for someone with the same size as Azmuth. Ben slaps the watch way too hard. This was explained later in omniverse. And the ultimatrix was a huge mess it was an incomplete prototype which ben wore for the whole span of ultimate alien because the old omnitrix self destructed and the new one from omniverse was still in development. If you remember correctly you would know ben also couldnt stay in ultimate form or any alien form for a long time because the ultimatrix was too limited and weak.
@@Nameless82284 that would make the episode boring.
@@ardzzz1010 I know that, I'm just pointing out the logic. Besides even at the end of the episode Ben could have gone Waybig and be all like "Are you threatening me?! Pretty big talk for such a little guy!" But most importantly Diamondhead or Chromastone would have been better options as they can reflect/absorbed energy blast. I know Ben was lower down for the episode but this doesn't seem like Ben at all. Even Young Ben was more powerful.
The dark moments were the best cause it proves it isn’t a kids show
It is a kids show, it was just different times when kids shows were aloud to have a form of maturity

Or was it convenient or was it the or was it the mystery omniezone
What about eon? The way that he's an alternate ben (race against time) actively hunting down other bens and turning them into slaves or just killing them is pretty damn dark since we don't know exactly how he ended up that way.

And the whole Multiverse is destroyed besides one universe.
You guys missed the episode where Kevin is used to harvest diamonds

"The Death of Kevin's Father", one of the best moments in Kevin's plot, and Omniverse ruined it with the Servantis crap

What were they thinking??!!!!
@@sabonnzm7193 actually Ben 10 enthusiast Kuro the Artist put together a really compelling theory for Kevin's backstory where his previous arcs aren't Retcon'd and still fits with the Rooters arc

@@zidanedidi agreed it would be awful and it also made you think what about the other lifeforms in their. They all seem to be alive even tho it was just a few cells taken from the alien. But it also makes you think if Ben is truly Ben in the show or a mix of different alien personalities.
It stated that Ghostfreak’s race still live even in a small sample of DNA, so it’s mostly unique to him, currently Ghostfreak’s no longer connected to Zs’Skayr so Ben has full control. The episode where Big Chill took over was due to its reproductive instincts. The Ultimates were due to a glitch that was fixed.

Why wasn’t the episode where charmcaster literally kills EVERYTHING in legerdemain, including Ben, Kevin, and even Gwen (who usually beat her in their encounters) on this list? It should have AT LEAST been an honorable mention!

The reboot sucks, old Ben 10 was the best!
