Benjamin "Ben" Kirby Tennyson, nicknamed Ben 10,000,[credits 1] is a future version of Ben from an alternate timeline.[CN 1]
Appearance[]
Ben 10,000 wears a short sleeved black t-shirt tucked in with white stripes around his neck, on the front and back, and a one-inch white stripe on the sleeve. The rest of his outfit includes tight army green slim fit pants pulled up to his waist, a black belt with pockets around it, black fingerless gloves, and black knee-high boots.
For the majority of Ben 10,010, Ben had an overweight build similar to his grandfather and sported a full beard. Following the defeat of the Xerge, Ben shaven off his beard and has become fit, which is due to the various adventures he has experienced that have left him in shape.[DR 1] He now wears a green jacket with white stripes and the number 10 surrounded by a black circle on it over the left side of his outfit.
At age 10 he looked exactly like his Dimension 27998.3 counterpart, as showed during flashbacks.

Personality[]
Prior to meeting his younger self, Ben 10,000 has been out of touch with his family for a long time, and has seemingly gone slightly insane from it, as shown when he was concerned when Louis's (who is actually a defunct scrapped robot) head fell off. He also became depressed and lost his confidence, blaming himself for letting everyone down. But after fighting alongside his past self, family, and former villain-turned allies, he regained his confidence and decided to go back into action full-time.
History[]
Background[]
After years of being a hero, Ben failed Max, where he ended up dying because of him and having his mind placed on a hologram. Shaken by his grandfather's death, Ben gave up his life as a hero and decided to go into hiding, abandoning everyone he knew, which also resulted in Kevin being imprisoned as Humungoraptor, as Ben was the only one who could fix the Antitrix.
Ben 10[]
After years of distancing himself, Ben emerges from hiding to fight off the invasion on Earth by the Xerge. Hex arrives looking for Ben to join the resistance. Ben was not interested at first, until Grandpa Max comes in and convinces him.
Hex takes Ben to the White House, where he sees a lot of his past enemies. He eventually reunites with Gwen for the first time in a long time. After a bit of arguing, Ben prepares to leave. The Xerge then breaks into the base, and Ben transforms into Buzzshock to fight them off. Buzzshock has a vision of his 10-year-old self. So with a time tunnel, created by Admiral Animal and Sergeant Smythe, he goes to the exact moment when he used the Surge for the first time. After defeating the present Steam Smythe using Four Arms, Ben 10,000 explains the problem in the future to Team Tennyson and takes his younger self into the future with him.
Now back in the future, Ben 10,000, Ben, Gwendolyn and the others try to contain the Xerge. After some struggle, the aliens reveal why they are attacking Earth, they want the Xerge DNA sample that is in the Omnitrix. Ben 10,000 decides to give up and give them the Omnitrix, but his 10-year-old self as Rath takes him away from the aliens and tells him that he shouldn't give up, because if someone knocks him down he should get up and show that he's strong. Although Ben 10,000 initially disagrees and states that what he learned on vacation doesn't apply to this fight, A.I. Max appear and reveals that the Xerge's power increases when others of their kind join. This gives the winning idea to Ben 10,000 and Ben, both turn the Surge and try to take some Xerge to their side, which ends up working using a game they both played on summer vacation and destroying the threat. Ben then goes back to his time and Ben 10,000 returns to being the hero that he never should have stopped being.
Relationships[]
Gwen Tennyson[]
The two disagree most of the time, with Ben himself claiming not to have voted for her to be president. However, at the end of Ben 10,010, they now begin to understand each other as they did when they were 10 years old.
Max Tennyson[]
Ben loves his grandfather and blames himself for his "death". When he saw Max show up, he was joyful and ran in for a hug until he realized he was a hologram. When he went back in time to fetch his younger self, he hugs Max joyfully when he sees him alive and well.
Powers and Abilities[]
Equipment[]
Ben 10,000 can transform into any of his aliens at will, this is because over time he learned to control his Omnitrix better, thus knowing how to have more than 10 aliens in the active playlist.[DR 2] Ben 10,000 has mastered his alien forms and is capable of using their powers to their fullest potential. This is thanks to both years of practice and Ben enhancing each of his aliens, having even taught his 10 year old self a few tricks.[2]
Hex gave him a time travel device made by Admiral Animo and Sergeant Smythe. He apparently placed the device on his Omnitrix.[2]
Weaknesses[]
Due to his extended isolation, Ben 10,000 severely lost his fighting edge after getting out of shape, as General Hex took little effort to defeat him even after he transformed into Spidermonkey.
Due to his age and poor physical condition, Ben 10,000 suffers from occasional back pain if he moves too much, which also transfers over to his aliens.
Much like any version of Ben, Ben 10,000 is unable to take on any stronger enemies without the help of the Omnitrix and he can be a bit of a hothead.
