Stryzzar: Trying yet I have to agree with Denis main here. It was done in a pretty bad and poorly implemented way. Also, Ben had been shown to be morally questionable before...in the Original Series. Probably not to the extent that the Ultimate Kevin arc showed but still, it's not new. I will say that it worked better in the Original Series than in the Ultimate Kevin arc because in the OS, Ben being morally questionable contributed to him developing and improving as a character and a hero. In the Ultimate Kevin arc, they way they made Ben act felt more like it damaged and discredit him as a character because of his actions. Now if Kevin went too far and did something like hurting Gwen, then it would likely make more sense as to why Ben would act like that and want to kill Kevin so much because it would have more of an emotional impact to it that would reasonably make Ben become the very person that this very arc displayed him as. Instead though, this was how the writers decided to treat Ben as and it backfired.
