so get ready because cartoon hangover is counting down the 107 facts you should know about Ben 10 let's get started number one Ben 10 was created by man of action a creative studio and writers collective consisting of comic industry veterans Duncan Rouleau Joe Casey Joe Kelly and Steven T Seagle number 2 man of action also created Cartoon Network's generator rex as well as executive producer shows ultimate spider-man and Marvel's Avengers Assemble so began to know what they're doing number three Kelley is a creator of the comic I killed Giants a series about a little girl who uses fantasies of fighting Giants to cope with their mother's terminal illness number 4 Seagal Andrew Lowe created the big hero six characters for Marvel back in 1998 they loved the idea but thought nothing would come with the characters until Disney developed it into the 2014 feature film the man of action team was content to basically look on as fans number 5 Kelly wrote the first ongoing solo series for Marvel antihero Deadpool starting in 1997 however the series wasn't popular at the time and Kelly left after only 33 issues because he was tired constantly being told that the series would soon be retired of course now in 2016 Deadpool is becoming quite a well-known name number 6 Siegel describes a man of actions work model as very socialist the members need to generate different ideas but the group shares the workload and credit but each member also does independent comic book work which Casey says is essential for balance number 7 tram wigs --all one of Cartoon Network's developers that greenlit the series has said that the series got a lot of negative feedback during into development the most popular items of concern were Ben's bravado and ego and the fact that the Omnitrix doesn't always work number eight Ben's transformations were partially inspired by the comic dial age for Hiro where there was a dial that could transform the user into different superheroes number nine early concept art depicted Ben as a redhead number ten and the original concept Grandpa Max was going to be a scientist who flew a blimp number 11 in the early stages Ben's transformations weren't aliens but versions of himself from different dimensions where he had evolved differently this was simplified to alien so it was easier to explain to kids number 12 Kevin also evolved differently than originally intended instead of osmosian he was first pitched as a straight-up mutant just as his initial appearance lead you to believe number 13 there were many different potential designs for upchuck the older designs were incorporated into the episodes Ben 10,000 and Ken 10 as new heroes and villains number 14 originally cannonbolt was supposed to be one of the original ten aliens but he was replaced with go street number 15 man of action made sure that forearms as transformation was the first animation test done since that sequence was the group's favorite number 16 writer Michael Welling described Vilgax as like Darth Vader without a sense of humor didn't realise Darth Vader had a sense of humor number 17 a big influence on the creation of both Ben 10 and generator X was old hanna-barbera adventure shows which included Johnny Quest and secret squirrel number 18 Ben was sucked into Rex's universe and the generator rex crossover special heroes United the special was drawn in the style of generator rex so Ben is treated to a stylistic makeover number 19 the man of action called forth their comic book prowess to write a comic tie-in for the crossover entitled heroes times - number 20 the crossover introduced a new alien form for Ben shocksquatch shocksquatch original name was electric Yeti which is admittedly at little Abhi's number 21 Joe Kelly's favorite alien is Wildmutt for his simplicity and design however cannonbolt is a close second number 22 and the original series Ben is voiced by Tara strong strong as other credits include Timmy Turner for fairly oddparents bubbles from Powerpuff Girls and Twilight Sparkle from My Little Pony number 23 however as Ben matures in subsequent series so does his voice teenage Ben is played by Yuri Lowenthal who coincidentally it also supplied background voices for big hero 6 number 24 Gwen's voice changes as well she's voiced and Ben 10 by Meghan Smith and in subsequent series by Ashley Johnson Johnson's resume boasts a strong interest in superheroes from playing Tara and Teen Titans to having a small role as a waitress in the Avengers number 25 the pilot episode of Ben 10 premiered on Cartoon Network on December 27 2005 the original Ben 10 series would run until 2008 number 26 the Ben 10 franchise features a variety of dimensions and timelines and the words of art director Derek J Wyatt time isn't completely fixed it's shifting events can be subtly altered I mean who says cartoons can't be philosophical number 27 Wyatt also designed characters for transformers animated scooby-doo mystery Incorporated and Teen Titans in addition to the various incarnations of Ben 10 he also designed characters for a tenacious d music video that is definitely not meant for kids number 28 the flash sequence and the opening credits has included to let the audience know that Ben 10 is not only a fun show but it's also action-packed because action is not fun number 29 grey matter is named after the darker tissue of the brain and the spinal cord it's therefore not surprising that he's Ben's most intelligent alien he is also amphibious in the case you are wondering number 30 Ben's middle name is Kirby after legendary comic book writer and artist Jack Kirby who co-created Captain America among other numerous industry shaking accomplishments number 31 upgrade is not a living computer he's a techno-organic life-form in other words he can't be affected by computer viruses but rather techno-organic viruses number 32 accelerates name is a play on accelerate because you know he's best number 33 the plumbers are an intergalactic police force dedicated to protecting the universe from various alien threats and attacks and it just so happens that Grandpa Max is considered one of the greatest plumbers ever number 34 Ben and Gwen should the same birthday although the exact date is unknown Brooke Henson omniverse that their birthday falls in December number 35 Ben and Gwen's grandmother verdona is an anodite a powerful energy based life-form from the planet anodyne this makes Ben Gwen and the rest of their cousins quarter anodyne though only Gwen has the spark number 36 when Ben is sick his alien forms are also affected for example heat blast has ice powers when Ben has a cold which can be useful just look at the Ice King you know please he's doing fine number 37 Ben has a deep-seated fear of clowns I mean he's pretty fearless and all other aspects of his life though so I guess we'll go ahead and let that one slide number 38 Vilgax is design bears a strong resemblance to Cthulhu another evil and incredibly powerful cosmic entity was created by HP Lovecraft number 39 and the episode Ben 10,000 the crew wanted to place cameos of other Cartoon Network characters in the background one that didn't make the cut was Fred Fred burger from the grim adventures of Billy and Mandy number 40 the cameos don't stop there Konohamaru Mogi and Adan from Naruto make a quick appearance in the Christmas special aptly titled Merry Christmas number 41 Kevin first appears in the episode Kevin 11 we later learned that Kevin's middle name is Ethan making his name Kevin E Levin I see what you did there number 42 Kevin first appears as a villain who is able to absorb and release energy he was also something of a sociopath after a stint as a mutant with powers similar to Ben's Kevin slowly gains control of his powers and the trust of the Tennyson's until he has developed a romantic relationship with Gwen by ultimate alien number 43 the cheerful gallon Wyatt is named after his Creator our director and character designer Derek J Wyatt but instead of being voiced by the real Wyatt Wyatt is voiced by Tara Strong number 44 the TV animated film secret of the Omnitrix featured three different openings each with been using a different alien Heatblast eye guy or accelerate to defeat dr. animo number 45 so far there have been four shows in the Ben 10 universe Ben 10 Ben 10 alien force Ben 10 Ultimate Alien and Ben 10 omniverse number 46 Ben 10 alien force takes place five years after the original series subsequently all the characters have aged and Ben and Gwen are now 15 number 47 alien force premiered April 18 2008 with the episode Ben 10 returns however fans didn't have to wait too long less than two weeks had passed since a finale of the original series number 48 the theme songs for Ben 10 and alien force were written by Andy Sturmer who began his career in television composition through his collaboration with Japanese pop group puffy AmiYumi number 49 one unexpected fan of the series in its music is ex British Prime Minister Gordon Brown who once told an Oxford radio station that he could not stop humming that Ben 10 theme song number 50 goop is a single-celled organism some alien species just really have simplicity nailed number 51 Derek J white says that been probably renamed Ben Victor into frankenstrike when he was 11 years old number 52 upchucked species at the Gorman's is at the top of the food chain so naturally Gorman's have no natural predators number 53 the creator of the Omnitrix azmuth is a Galvin the same species of alien as gray matter and Wyatt number 54 besides his dad as most only family as his great-aunt in his three mischievous nephews number 55 Green is a Smith's favorite color now you know why it seems to be everywhere is in his inventions his clothes just all over the place number 56 while Cooper and Dark Star are both human they were able to attain powers because they are immunes number 57 alien force and ultimate alien were developed by the late Dwayne McDuffie creator of static shock and producer of the animated Justice League series he also created milestone media a minority-owned comic book company number 58 the credits have been 10 galactic racing dedicate the game to Dwayne McDuffie who passed away in 2011 the year the game was released number 59 there have been two live-action Ben 10 films race against time and Alien Swarm which correlate to Ben 10 and Ben 10 alien force respectively both of them premiered on Cartoon Network number 60 in addition in 2012 Cartoon Network premiered Ben 10 destroy all aliens showing that Ben could foray into CG as well the film takes place during the original series so all the first been 10 voice actors returned to their roles number 61 in order to make the car chases and alien fight scenes and destroy all aliens as realistic as possible executive producer Silas Hickey in his crew had real-life actors simulate the scenes number 62 a contest to promote destroy all aliens entitled what's up with that alien allowed for winners to voice to events classmates there were versions of the contest for each language the film was presented in number 63 Cartoon Network Africa also held a contest where winners got green tickets to the movie premiere in Johannesburg so many contests so little time number 64 in Ben 10 alien force we learned that Gwen's magical powers come from her anodite heritage however Joe Kelly said he would have preferred to keep her magic magic in order to keep the concept simple so the world is clean number 65 Ben 10 Ultimate Alien premiered on April 23rd 2010 after alien force concluded on March 26 man if only more series followed this example and just didn't keep fans waiting for so long number 66 Ultimate Alien takes place one year after alien force Ben's identity has been revealed to the world and he's gained a new Ultimatrix to replace the Omnitrix the Ultimatrix allows Ben's aliens to take their ultimate form Ultimatrix ultimate form simple enough right number 67 ultimate alien director Matt Youngberg disliked the dark tone that alien force had taken when he was brought on he wanted the series to return to the heart of the earlier show just a kid having adventures not knowing what he's doing but having a ton of fun doing it number 68 one alternate version of Ben is known as ultimate Ben instead of transforming into different aliens he keeps his own body and just gains the power of the alien of his choice but when the alternate versions of Ben were brought back around the series chose Ben 10,000 instead why it says this is because ultimate Ben was a lame idea number 69 turns out Rath species the apoplexy ins wears clothes and Rath has been appearing naked due to a glitch in the Omnitrix number 70 despite the fact that the show in the original run of the Ben 10 franchise omniverse premiered on September 22nd 2012 and only ran a little more than two years the show is considered to have eight seasons making it longest installment in the franchise number 71 in omniverse Ben gains a new partner rook blonko it was important to the omniverse team that rook had an incredibly distinct style to Ben's so many many different designs were pitched a number of the unused designs eventually ended up as residents of Undertown number 72 omniverse is also notable for the dramatic shift in artistic style aliens have been redesigned and even Ben himself looks different according to Wyatt since Ben now has over 70 transformations and each individual alien of the show has a distinct design so the overhaul was no small feat number 73 for example swamp fires redesigned for omniverse more closely resembles his early concept art spider monkeys new hairstyle was based off of beast from x-men number 74 max Tennyson as he appears in omniverse references the DC Comics character Shazam number 75 ball weevils and the worst scum from the same planet since the worse are horrible lazy slobs ball weevils evolved as a natural sanitation measure the cleanup of the worst mess was so successful that the ball weevils began thriving sanitation services on many other planets number 76 the ball weevils design was inspired by Pokemon so it looks like a hybrid between Jolteon and pincer maybe white actually had concept drawings of the ball weevil before he even worked on Benton number 77 Derek J Wyatt wanted to name ball weevil turd burglar alas the show's producers and writers didn't see eye to eye with that matter another early name for ball weevil was collectible but there was already a product with the same name number 78 Ben and Gwen's grandmother verdona was based on Endora from bewitched and their cousin Sonny is based on Serena wyatt is reportedly a big fan of the show number 79 the British time traveler character professor paradox is an homage to the doctor from Doctor Who number 80 the uniform NRG wear serves as a containment suit to help him keep his form as well as maintains safer radiation levels for a short period of time after he takes the suit off number 81 echo echoes outer body serves as a kind of amplifier inside of the suit echo echo is a being made of living sound waves number 82 amphibian can use his electrical powers underwater but will shock himself if he's not completely submerged number 83 9 Ben 10 video games have been developed deep okay Ben Tenn protector of the earth alien force the game alien force vilgax Attacks alien force arise of hex cosmic destruction galactic racing on AFER's and omniverse - we made it number 84 sadly Ben 10 alien forced the rise of hex is no longer available after it was pulled from the we where and Xbox Live stores number 85 in addition there are also a large number of Ben 10 comic books and graphic novels including manga style doom dimension in the series exclusively tied into omniverse number 86 many of Benton's characters are playable in Cartoon Network's online game

show number 89 early on gravattack's concept name was graviton number 90 Kevin Wars blue holsters and omniverse because his voice actor Greg Cipes always wears them in real life number 91 Greg Cipes is well known for playing another teenage superhero on Cartoon Network Beast Boy in Teen Titans number 92 since Ben's DNA is synched with the Omnitrix if an alien used it to turn into a human they would take Ben's form white jokes a human's power and the Omnitrix would be to crave chili fries even if they are disgusted by them number 93 Ben knows full well that alien X is his most powerful alien and therefore hesitates to use him alien X has three personalities Sirena belicus and Ben himself and an order for alien X to act in any capacity two of the three have to agree number 94 Alan is
