But this alien definitely did not deserve its own game. It's just a cheap rip-off of Sonic. Plus, he can't even teleport in-game! And his name is PORTALer!

Speaking of which, what kind of name is Portaler anyways? Uncreative much? That's what happens when you take design ideas from little kids.

Also, Man of Action doesn't FULLY run Ben 10 anymore; it's more the network itself running it and using MOA for reference on extremely important things. MOA is doing more things with Marvel and Disney than anything else recently.

As for the legality of taking fan ideas, well, it's never a very good idea, nor is it legal. CN Asia played their cards right and probably had the giant 82 paragraph packet of digital contest rules to go along with the contest and had something about the legality of using fan aliens in it. Nobody ever reads those, so it was an advantage.
