Plumber Badge

A Plumber's Badge, as suggest by it's name, is a device used by the Plumbers and sometimes inherited by their children so the kids are not thought as alien invaders and captured by plumbers. Introduced in Ben 10 Returns: Part 2, they serves as communicators, and can generate a signature allowing to locate their owners.

In season 1 of Ben 10: Alien Force, Ben took Magister Labrid's Plumber's badge after he died, and gave it to Kevin. It was then used by them in order to find allies against the Highbreeds, allowing them to find Plumber's kids like Alan Albright and Michael Morningstar. Kevin's badge was then taken from him by Magister Prior Gilhil in Darkstar Rising, but at the end of the same episode, he eventually named the three of them honorary plumbers, giving Kevin and Gwen their own badges.

The Omnitrix is mentioned to act as a Plumber's badge, such explaining while Ben doesn't have or need one.

Description
A Plumber's badge looks like a circular, disk-like object marked with a green and black symbol. This symbol actually is the international symbol of peace, and was used too by Azmuth on the Omnitrix and Ultimatrix. When in use it glows and is manipulated by tapping different parts.
