Bad Ben is an alternate and evil version of Ben Tennyson.

Appearance

Bad Ben bears a very strong resemblance to Ben Prime, except he has black hair instead of brunette hair, which is natural.^{[DJW 1]} He also has mint green-colored eyes, shirt, and an Omnitrix of the same color. Plus his cargo pants are of a darker brown color and his shoes are black instead of green.

Personality

Technically, Bad Ben's personality is almost the same as Albedo's. He doesn't consider himself a nice guy and says that evil is relative.

Bad Ben enjoys being bad and evil in as many ways as he possibly can; from small things such as intentionally withholding an explanation about the multiple Bens from No Watch Ben to maintain the latter's terror, to bigger things such as sadistically attacking and tormenting the good Bens.

Bad Ben also speaks slower and with a higher vocabulary than Ben Prime. Bad Ben has a twisted sense of humor, as he exclaimed to a crowd of shoppers upon suddenly poking his head out of a wall at them as Ghostfreak, "Clean up on Aisle Ten!"

History

Omniverse

Bad Ben first appeared in And Then There Were None, where he was among the evil Bens recruited by Eon and Vilgax from across the cosmos and brought to No Watch Timeline to wipe No Watch Ben out. Bad Ben was the first alternate Ben that No Watch Ben encountered. Bad Ben as Ghostfreak chased No Watch Ben through town, but No Watch Ben was saved by Ben Prime. Later, in Los Soledad, Bad Ben was part of the fight between the good and evil Bens, as Gravattack. At the end of the episode, just like all the other Bens, he was erased from spacetime by the Chronosapien Time Bomb.

In And Then There Was Ben, Bad Ben was brought back into existence when No Watch Ben used Clockwork to suck the Time Bomb's ripple back in. Later, he was chasing an Omnitrixless Ben Prime as Buzzshock along with Negative Ultimate Echo Echo and Mad Ben. At the end of the episode, Bad Ben was sent back to his own timeline by Clockwork.
