Ten-year-old Ben Tennyson, his ten-year-old paternal first-cousin Gwen, and their paternal Grandpa Max start their summer camping trip. Ben goes stomping off into the woods after another fight with Gwen, whom he is not happy to have along on the trip, and finds an alien pod on the ground. When he examines it, he finds a mysterious, watch-like device, called the Omnitrix. The device attaches permanently to his wrist and gives him the ability to transform into a numerous variety of alien life-forms, each with their own unique powers and abilities. Although Ben realizes that he has a responsibility to help and save others with these new abilities at his disposal, he is not above a little ten-year-old super-powered mischief now and then. Along with Gwen and Max, Ben embarks on an adventure to fight evil, both extraterrestrial and earthly. Ben has faced lots of villains including villans fighting together in a team or a partner once Kevin 11 and Vilgax fought Ben.

Lyrics
It started when an alien device did what it did,

And stuck itself upon his wrist with secrets that it hid,

Now he's got super powers, he's no ordinary kid,

He's Ben 10!.... (Ben 10!)

So if you see him, you might be in for a big surprise,

He'll turn into an alien before your very eyes,

He's slimy, creepy, fast and strong, he's every shape and size,

He's Ben 10!....(Ben 10!)

Armed with powers, he's on the case,

Fighting off evil from Earth or space,

He'll never stop till he makes them pay,

'Cause he's the baddest kid to ever save the day!

Ben 10!

Ben 10!.... Ben Ben!.... Ben 10!

Ben 10, Ben 10, Ben 10!

(Big Finish).
