History[]
Ben 10[]
He first appeared in And Then There Were 10 where he and JT bullied Jamie before Ben intervened. Ben, along with Jamie, were hung on a tree by their underwear. Later on, Ben as XLR8 returned the favor.
He later appeared in The Unnaturals with JT as members of Ben's local Little League baseball team, having gotten in as a result of four other members getting chicken pox, but got kidnapped by the Squires. Ben saved them and destroyed the robots. Cash took credit on saving the President but while he was giving a speech about bravery, Ben as XLR8 gave him a wedgie.
Alien Force[]
Cash made an appearance in Ben 10 Returns: Part 1, playing soccer opposite Ben's team.
Cash later appeared in Ben 10: Alien Force in the episode; The Gauntlet when he and JT tried to bully Ben. Ben almost used the Omnitrix on them, but said "You know what, you're not even worth it". Ben stood up to his old bully, telling Cash that it's sad that everyone grew up except him; that he still has to make others miserable to feel good about himself like when he was 10. This caused the other teenagers at Mr. Smoothy to laugh at him. Cash got angry at that and tried to show off by towing Kevin's car towards a pit. However, Kevin soon noticed, and chased after JT and Cash). Some odds and ends fell out of Kevin's trunk. In a panic, Cash ran and told JT to grab something. JT ended up taking a Techadon Robot gauntlet.
He later put it on and pretended to shoot a laser beam, only the gauntlet really did shoot a laser beam. This got Cash interested and removed the gauntlet from JT to take revenge on Ben for what he did. JT became worried because it seemed as though Cash wanted to really hurt Ben, so he warned Gwen and Kevin (although not telling them about the gauntlet). Kevin went after Cash but got defeated by Cash's new powers which were growing. He then told Kevin to tell Ben to meet him at the Mr. Smoothy stand. Later at the stand, he challenged Ben, but Ben transformed into Chromastone. This easily gave Ben the upper hand. Ben then told him to give up, but Cash said he couldn't stop as the Techadon Robot gauntlet was taking over more of his body. However, when JT told him that a hunk of metal shouldn't control him, Cash turned it back into a gauntlet and JT pulled it off.
Ultimate Alien[]
In Fame, Cash and JT appeared near the end of the episode applauding Ben for his newly revealed hero status.
He and JT appeared again, playing a major part in Reflected Glory. They started a blog saying that they were the masterminds behind Ben 10 and succeeded in convincing Ben, Gwen and Kevin to play along. When Psyphon showed up trying to destroy them, they soon realized that they didn't want to be so famous anymore. At the end, they saved Ben using an energy decoupler to drain Psyphon's power, but at the cost of draining Oliver's camera too, resulting in no one believing they were the ones who beat Psyphon.
