Ben 10 Wiki
White trix This article belongs to an alternate dimension or timeline in the Classic Continuity

Gwendolyn Tennyson is Ben and Kai's daughter and Ken's sister[pop-up 1][1][pop-up 2][2][DM 1] from an alternate timeline.[note 1]

Trivia[]

  • Gwendolyn and her brother were named after Ben's cousins, Gwen and Ken.[DM 1]
  • Many fans have believed that a human girl from Ken's 10th birthday party was Gwendolyn. However, Thomas Perkins revealed that she was created only as a background character.[TP 1] This is evident by the same girl appearing as a bystander in Ben 10,000, which chronologically set 12 years prior to Ken 10.
    • During the production of Ken 10, Thomas envisioned Ken as being an only child. As for the girl, he believed she was just one of Ken's school friends. The existence of a sister for Ken was a retroactive addition that Thomas was unaware of.[TP 1][TP 2]
  • When asked if Gwendolyn exists in the Omniverse Future Timeline, Derrick J. Wyatt initially said she did not,[DJW 7] stating that he hated that she was named after Ben's cousin Gwen and ignored her existence.[DJW 8] When made aware that Gwendolyn's existence was revealed via pop-up trivia years later, Derrick admitted that he forgot she existed. He also explained that the reason she was never used in Omniverse is because the crew, who had studied the Original Series episodes, did not have access to the pop-ups. Therefore, they were not aware that Ben 10,000 had a daughter.[DJW 1]

Notes[]

  1. The Ben 10,000 from Omniverse is stated to be Ben Prime's true future self.[DJW 2]
    • This is evidenced in-show by the fact that both the Ben 10,000[3][4] and the future Dr. Animo[5] from Omniverse recalled characters and events from the present day. Chrono-Spanner also frequently visits present day with effects of his actions manifest in his present.[6] This would not be possible if these characters belonged to an alternate timeline.
    It was also stated that the Ben 10,000 from Omniverse is the same character as the Ben 10,000 from the Original Series.[DJW 2][DJW 3][DJW 4]
    • This was due to the crew's preference of the original Ben 10,000 over the Ultimate Alien portrayal,[DJW 4] as well as executives wanting everything to be more like the Original Series.[DJW 3]
    • Derrick J. Wyatt made several statements to corroborate the story, expanding on what is known from the Original Series, such as the backstory for the Biomnitrix invoking the plotline of Ben 10,000,[DJW 5] and the defining tragedy in Ben 10,000's life having now occurred at the age of 20,[DJW 6] "shifted" from the original age of 15.[pop-up 3][1]
    • The writing of the show also indicated this viewpoint, with Ben identifying the future Dr. Animo from Animo Crackers to be the same as the one he encountered in Ben 10,000, and other efforts made throughout the last few seasons to align the story with the future timeline.
    However, the above two statements are inherently contradictory, because the Original Series Ben 10,000 was from an alternate timeline[pop-up 4][1][7][8] in which he never travelled to the future when he was 10, and consequently did not give Max a cake on his 60th birthday, while Ben Prime did.[1] Thus, the Original Series Ben 10,000 did not recall the events of the episode.[8][DM 2][DM 3][DM 4]
    • Derrick responded to the matter by saying: "Your 'plot holes' are irrelevant. Time isn't completely fixed, it's shifting. Events can be subtly altered. But Ben 10,000 is the future for the Ben Prime timeline."[DJW 2] This can be interpreted as a retcon. This wiki, however, considers the two Ben 10,000s, and by extension, the two futures, separate.
