But he didn't. Like I said, he's a human, and therefore inherently flawed. Besides, it's easy to say that now, with the benefit of hindsight. Ben didn't know what would happen.

Not the ones who know they won't die. Ben isn't afraid of fighting Vulkanus or Rojo, for example, because he knows he can't lose. If the Omnitrix was capable of saving Ben's life, and if it weren't just something the writers came up with to prevent his death, he would charge into battle without any regard for his safety.

Fanboyism isn't an argument. You're free to think whatever you like, but the truth is Ben is weaker than the vast majority of heroes, even in his own universe.
