New York City (often shortened to "New York" or "NYC") is a location on Earth that was visited by the Tennysons on their summer road trip.
History[]
Ben 10[]
In Kevin 11, Ben, Gwen and Max visited New York City, first checking in to a local hotel. Ben got them banned from the hotel, though, as he snuck into their private gala showcasing a new Sumo Slammers video game. Ben decided to visit an arcade named Total Zone, where he met Kevin for the very first time. Members of a gang with a clear history with Kevin grabbed him and prepared to beat him up; Ben saved Kevin and he gave Ben a tour of the city as repayment. He showed Ben where he lived: an abandoned entrance to a working subway system. Kevin shared with Ben that the gang was angry with him for trashing their hideout under the 39th Street Bridge.
Kevin got the idea to break into a warehouse at night to get them both the new Sumo Slammers game. They didn't notice they tripped an alarm and soon became surrounded with SWAT officers. Ben decided to turn into Stinkfly and flew Kevin out of there. Helicopters gave chase, though, and chased him across the water separating the city from Liberty Island, around the Statue of Liberty, and back into the city. As they passed through buildings and over traffic, Stinkfly and Kevin brushed into a news reporter in Times Square, whose cameraman broadcasted them onto the giant screen in the square. Stinkfly and Kevin eventually evaded the helicopters by flying in an underpass and hiding in a car-carrying truck.
Later, Ben and Kevin had a falling out in the subway system, where Kevin almost caused two trains (one with passengers) to ram into each other. Ben (as Heatblast) hung onto the roof of the passenger train and was taken outside, riding on a track that ran overhead of the traffic below. Max in the Rustbucket managed to catch Ben's fall off the train before a sign knocked into him. They planned to stop Kevin, who had absorbed Heatblast's DNA and gone on a rampage; Ben theorized that he went to the bridge hideout of the gang to get revenge. He found Kevin there, just as his power ran out, and the two fought, as Four Arms and Tetramand Hybrid Kevin. The fighting broke some beams of the bridge, and after, a wave sent out by Ben's Omnitrix caused the entire bridge to collapse. The defeated Kevin ran back to his hideout, swearing vengeance, and the Tennysons leaft New York.
In Be Afraid of the Dark, the citizens of New York were shown getting mutated after Zs'Skayr blanketed the sky with a field of Corrodium. Later, the Corrodium beam was destroyed, and the citizens' mutation was reverted.
Ultimate Alien[]
In Absolute Power, Kevin returned to the Total Zone arcade where he first met Ben. Gwen arrived there to face him. Ben and Darkstar waited in the alley across the street.
In Ben 10/Generator Rex: Heroes United, Ben was teleported to Rex's universe and landed at Central Park in New York City. Ben and Rex fought while moving across the city. Later, Ben was surprised that none of the citizens recognized him.
Omniverse[]
In The Frogs of War: Part 1, several Way Bads were shown walking around and destroying New York City.
In The Frogs of War: Part 2, a Way Bad replaced the Statue of Liberty's head with that of a sculpture of General Attea's.
