The Ben 10 show revolves around Ben Tennyson, his cousin Gwen, and his grandfather Max. During the start of their summer camping trip, Ben goes stomping off into the woods after another fight with Gwen (whom he is not happy to have along on the trip) and finds an alien pod on the ground. When he examines it, he finds a mysterious, watch-like device called the "Omnitrix" stored inside. The device attaches permanently to his wrist and gives him the ability to transform into a variety of alien life forms, each with their own unique powers. Although Ben realizes that he has a responsibility to help others with these new abilities at his disposal, he is not above a little super-powered mischief now and then.
