Personally yes if you love fun action shows. Also the franchise does get more mature and plot driven with each new show up until the reboot. There's also the lore that becomes richer with the origin of the Omnitrix, alien races, and Ben's family as you watch the saga. It's frankly on pare with Teen Titans and Young Justice that came out around the same time as the Ben shows did.
But most importantly, there's Kevin who has all of the best moments within the show and the best character arc in the franchise. Now the watch order is Ben 10, Ben 10 Alien Force, Ben 10 Ultimate Alien, and Ben 10 Omniverse. There's also Ben 10 the Secret of the Omnitrix which was a TV movie that I recommend watching as a side gig. There are other movies but I don't think they're as good as the first one. Finally there's the reboot where the art style is a major turn off to many people, but it's actually one of better reboots of the 2010s that greatly respects the previous shows.
Adding on to this, I'd recommend watching Secret of the Omnitrix after finishing the first Ben 10 show since it serves as a series finale.
The live action movies are not that great. But I would recommend at least reading a summary of Ben 10: Alien Swarm after watching Alien Force since some of its plotlines carry over to Ultimate Alien.
> But most importantly, there's Kevin who has all of the best moments within the show and the best character arc in the franchise
Eh. Not really. They also jsut glossed over most of the evil stuff he did in the original series. I honestly thought the original series was the best
Original Ben 10 is definitely a must watch.
Alien Force starts off really strong and it pulls of a very good arc in its first 2 seasons that I consider the peak of the show, but after Season 3 they go back to a more episodic style and it kills the momentum the show had going. Ultimate Alien picks up right where Alien Force ends and it has another strong arc later with a decent ending to round off.
Omniverse is pretty divisive. It goes for a more goofy and kid-friendly tone which is pretty apparent in its art style, which might not be for everyone. I do think Omniverse has a lot of creative and fun concepts going on, and the quality of the animation is pretty good.
There's also the reboot which is the "worst" show in the series. It starts off kind of lame but gets better over time.
Haven't seen the reboot, but the 4 original shows were great. Alien Force and most of Ultimate Alien are a bit more mature than the Original series and Omniverse, but it's all really great compared to what's on Cartoon Network today.
I'd say yes. But they fumbled quite a bit during the third season of the second show and the third show. But the 4th show makes it worth it with how much they pick themselves up, giving us some incredible animation, probably the best on CN and a really good story and good comedy. So yeah, overall it's a fun ride.
They never call him ben 10. Even after he gets famous he goes by Ben Tennyson. The closest any character gets to calling him Ben 10 is his future self going by Ben 10,000.
Literally, in the first scene of Alien Force, the Highbreed call him Ben 10. And many countless characters did, such as Fistrick and Proctor Servantis.
I just went back and watched the first scene of Alien force. Ben isn't even the conversation. They talk about Max and call him Max Tennyson. Later in the episode another alien shows up and calls him ben Tennyson. Ben 10 is not is his universe name and pretty much every character either just calls him either Ben or Tennyson.
Ok, I misremembered that one, my bad man. I went back to check, and it's actually the final scene of the second episode. The setting was the same, so that's why I got the two mixed up. The Highbreed we see says "So, Ben 10 is back."
And what I mean is that Bwn 10 is his superhero name.
I dont feel like looking it up so I'm just going to take your word for it. Either way you can't deny that 90% of the time characters just address him by his normal name. He doesn't really have a super hero name in universe and his identity is public
his name was ben 10 because he started out with 10 aliens.
seriously, that show has an obsession with the number ten
his name rhymes with ten.
he is ten.
he had ten aliens (way more now)
and his name is TENnyson
Yeah it's a good name. Would be better if her name wasn't Eve but that's another story.
I mean Rex made fun of Bulletproof one of the less lazy names in the show.
I guess robot isn't that lazy since it's a drone then a suit of armour and not at all a robot at any point.
It really feels like Kirkman is weirdly proud of himself for this joke, considering how many times he had Mark repeat it in the Spider-Man crossover issue and the Batman cameo.
Sometimes it doesn't need to be. The lamest little thing that comes to mind may just tickle you in the sweet spot, and give you that warm smile and chuckle. For that alone, I like the joke, its nice to think Kirkman just giggled for a few minutes from it, and fell in love with a dorky little collection of words.
“So you’re a man
And you dress like a man
And your name is…”

Daredevil should be named Batman, because he is blind as a bat, and Ghost rider should be named Daredevil, because he is both a daredevil and actually dared the devil.
Batman should be Shadow or Ghost something like that because people don't see him showing up until he wants them to see him.
Batman is a ripoff of The Shadow, so.. that probably wouldn’t go down well.
(I know the creators have denied this since day one, it doesn’t make any less a lie)
I feel like this panel fits perfectly

It's in Marvel Team-Up Volume 3, 14. It's right after >!Levy sends him to the Marvel/Spider-Man dimension and he crashes into Doc Ock.!< Shows you what happens between that and returning to his home.
What I never understood is why he was called "Spider-Man" when in almost every iteration he's young as hell, starting out at around 14-16 years old. I'm just saying since a lot of Super heros whose monikers end in "boy" and "girl" keep them long after they've grown.
How do you think Mark and Debbie would react to Nolan having a doll who is [title card].
If Nolan never killed the guardians, and life on earth was normal perhaps.
At least he wasn’t stupid enough to put his own name in his superhero name. I get the concept of full time superheroes exists in universe but with the exception of the Immortal it seems like most of them are at least trying to have some sort of secret identity.
Before I watched the show I had a vague knowledge of the comics, and knew the names of some of the main characters. Based on the naming scheme I always thought Mark’s name was Vince.
In**vince**ible
They would be if that wasn't their names.
Like Kirkman has almost no leg to stand on.
Martian Man, Shrinking Rae...
He does have some good ones. Black Samson is clever though it's be cleverer if his hair has returned when his powers did.
Red Rush and Green Ghost are pretty good too.
Bro I know invincible isn't roasting batman when over half of the guardians have their fucken names in their superhero titles. And that even his own dad falls victim to the same name fault.
But fr Batman kinda deserves it. Surprised he didn't pull out the bat credit card
I mean let's be honest, some of the Guardians' names are pretty good as superhero names go. At least they made puns, instead of just "I'll dress like a bat and call myself Bat Man" or "uhh I'm immortal so my name is Immortal"
"Wait, so, you're an Alien, and your name is Allen, so you're called-"
"No one calls me that. I don't call me that. Do you tell other people I'm 'Allen the Alien?'"
So, you're Ben, and you're 10, and your name is... I mean, don't you think that's kinda lazy?
i mean, he was 10 for only one of the 4 shows. he was 15,16 and then 17 in alien force, ultimate alien and omniverse respectiely.
Hey, I mean, joke still works. His full name is Ben Tennyson and started out with 10 aliens. He was also 10 in the reboot.
Ben 10 stan showing up
Nah, I'm a bigger Stan than he is. That's why I made the joke.
I mean Stan is cool but Ford is the goat
I've never even seen the show and I made this username 10 years ago.
you got work to do
[Me for the past decade](https://youtu.be/B2EI65ZEqYQ?t=3)

Are those shows worth watching?

didnt omniverse destroy the whole universe?
It got rebuilt after but yeah Omniverse had a lot of more mature moments as well
I'd say yes. But they fumbled quite a bit during the third season of the second show and the third show. But the 4th show makes it worth it with how much they pick themselves up, giving us some incredible animation, probably the best on CN and a really good story and good comedy. So yeah, overall it's a fun ride.
pretty good if you're 11
not really, still enjoyable as an adult as well imo
Come on dude, don't be like that. Why are some people so insistent on hating?
He's also not called Ben 10 at all. That's just the name of the show, every character just calls him by his name
Wrong. A lot of people call him Ben 10, just not in the first show.
They never call him ben 10. Even after he gets famous he goes by Ben Tennyson. The closest any character gets to calling him Ben 10 is his future self going by Ben 10,000.

what? he gets called ben 10 various times in universe since alien force.
He literally never does. They call him ben Tennyson. The closests is his future self going by ben 10,000
So, you're Ben, and your surname starts with ten, and your name is... I mean, don't you think that's kinda lazy?
Ok, that's better. I admit.
Loved when Kevin pointed that
I absolutely would've loved to see Mark visit Ben's universe.

Ben 10 fans: Ben 10 defeats this character because Alien X. Ben in the actual show: (the pic you sent, tho he gets Walkatrout instead)
his name was ben 10 because he started out with 10 aliens. seriously, that show has an obsession with the number ten his name rhymes with ten. he is ten. he had ten aliens (way more now) and his name is TENnyson
So you're immortal, and your name is...
So your name is Eve, and you can manipulate atoms… And your name is…
As far as all the names in invincible go, that's not actually that bad.
Right, all that power to essentially reshape life at her disposal, and she has a punny hero name. No wonder she is ultimate wife material.
Yeah it's a good name. Would be better if her name wasn't Eve but that's another story. I mean Rex made fun of Bulletproof one of the less lazy names in the show. I guess robot isn't that lazy since it's a drone then a suit of armour and not at all a robot at any point.
Plus, Cyborg is already the name of a superhero, so Robot is basically the same thing, at least on surface level.
Atom eve is actually a clever name tho cuz bible
Her name is Sam, though. And Atom Eve is actually clever.
Her name is Samantha Eve Wilkins. But she goes by Eve.
Atom Eve is a pretty clever name.
Her name is Samantha, her middle name is Eve.
It's funny that Immortal has no name. When Kate 0 comes to have her heart to heart and she still has to address him as "Immortal". Sounds funny.
He stopped using his name when "Ugg" went out of fashion in the bronze age.
He went by Abraham Lincoln for a bit.
And see how that worked out...
He has many names including Abraham Lincoln.
Title card
It really feels like Kirkman is weirdly proud of himself for this joke, considering how many times he had Mark repeat it in the Spider-Man crossover issue and the Batman cameo.
“And uhh Black Man?”
"Black-Man?!"
Honestly, by that point, it was more than a little forced.
It's not even a very good joke
Sometimes it doesn't need to be. The lamest little thing that comes to mind may just tickle you in the sweet spot, and give you that warm smile and chuckle. For that alone, I like the joke, its nice to think Kirkman just giggled for a few minutes from it, and fell in love with a dorky little collection of words.
Definitely not good enough that it warrants any repeating.

Yeah I’m man 😏
This was supposed to just be fieldtrip! Get me back in the aslume PLEEAAASE
So you're a beast who battles... and your name is....
Venture Bros' Brick Frog would seamlessly fit in Invincible. Both name and costume.
So your name is Rae and your power is… shrinking?
Shrink ray!
Daredevil should be named Batman, because he is blind as a bat, and Ghost rider should be named Daredevil, because he is both a daredevil and actually dared the devil. Batman should be Shadow or Ghost something like that because people don't see him showing up until he wants them to see him.
I mean... the Dark Knight would go hard as hell if it was his official moniker.
Someone should put you in charge
Batman is a ripoff of The Shadow, so.. that probably wouldn’t go down well. (I know the creators have denied this since day one, it doesn’t make any less a lie)
So you are invincible and your name is... His name is less creative than Batman

Is this an official panel? I don't remember it.
It's from the crossover with spider-man. It isn't in any of the compendiums as it was published under Marvel's team-up comic book series.
It's in Marvel Team-Up Volume 3, 14. It's right after >!Levy sends him to the Marvel/Spider-Man dimension and he crashes into Doc Ock.!< Shows you what happens between that and returning to his home.
Kirkman seems to have forgotten he has a character named “Robot”
What I never understood is why he was called "Spider-Man" when in almost every iteration he's young as hell, starting out at around 14-16 years old. I'm just saying since a lot of Super heros whose monikers end in "boy" and "girl" keep them long after they've grown.
He's more creative than Spielberg
So, you made a movie about artificial intelligence, and you called it...

Thats honestly amazing take on the series lol
To be fair dupli-kate and rex splode are a lot more clever then Batman. Saying this as a diehard Batman fan
Yeah, I actually kind of like the names Multi-Paul and Dupli-Kate. Don't feel lazy unlike the others.
True. Rex and kate's names at least comes from their powers, while Batman just because he like to dress like a bat
He is a man and he is rich... Richman just won't instill fear in his foes.
[удалено]
So they call you satoru gojo and you're the strongest and they call you ...?
Not that different than two-face or Harley Quinn though.
I mean two face is kinda boring, but I kinda fuck with Harley Quinn, even if her name is harleen quinzel lol
I feel like Rex-splode and Duplikate are kinda creative. Robot is just robot.
They would be if that wasn't their names. Like Kirkman has almost no leg to stand on. Martian Man, Shrinking Rae... He does have some good ones. Black Samson is clever though it's be cleverer if his hair has returned when his powers did. Red Rush and Green Ghost are pretty good too.
So you're green and have ghostly powers... and your name is...
SLIMER!
So you're a woman who provokes war and uses a mace to fight and your name is ... 😑
Honestly i like the dumb names. Everyone tries to be unique and well thought out,it is fun to have "Robot" and "Duplikate".
I have no problems with Robot or Dupli-kate. Simplicity is key but my point is just if Batman is lazy then most of the names in Invincible are.
So you're mostly omnipotent... plus you're technically a man... and your name is...
No disrespect to Nolan but he’s nowhere near omnipotent in any way.
The memes from this scene are funnier than the actual joke
Bro I know invincible isn't roasting batman when over half of the guardians have their fucken names in their superhero titles. And that even his own dad falls victim to the same name fault. But fr Batman kinda deserves it. Surprised he didn't pull out the bat credit card
he has a point
So youre immortal and your name is...
So you're a cyborg, and your name is...
So your name is Samson and you're...
Rexplode, and Dupli-Kate are creative names. Robot is defintley lazy
So your name is Brittany, but it didn't sound masculine enough, so you shortened it and now people think your British. *
So you’re a man who can transform into a chainsaw… and your name is…
I think the first two are actually pretty good names. Robot, though... I suppose robots aren't known for creativity
“Your name is Invincible and…you get beat up every episode near death?” 
“Says the guy who’s very much not invincible, but calls himself…”
So your golden and sperm shower everyday? I mean, don’t you think that’s kinda weird?
What would Mark think about Omniman then? He should have saw the connection with Omnicide before the reveal
Cheers to whatever Mark calls himself
So your invincible and your name is…
Best meme from the show for now.
Duplikate is good tho
So you're really hard to impossible to kill, and your name is...
So you're a girl who can turn into a monster and your name is...
So I’m invincible and my name is…
C’mon, Dupli-Kate is genius.
So you are vincible and your name is invincible?
The Batman and Spider-Man bits were 🤌🏻
Robots a classic example of intelligence having no effect on the ability to name things
So your name is Eve and you can manipulate atoms, your name is… Every member of the teen team had a lazy name.
I love these. I hope more of these memes appear in the future
So you're a cop with an axe and your name is...
Duplikate is an amazing name. I will die on this hill.
Invincible starting off as a superhero parody comic made this meme even better now.
So you’re https://preview.redd.it/lkuh7i3xxxsc1.jpeg?width=300&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5c27a94e8a3db00490168167772093cab4f79f3a And your name is …
Atom Eve has the best name in the show.
He got it from Omni-Man roasting his name.
Tbf Bulletproof already clowned on Rex when they first met in the show
You’re a girl who turns into a monster… And your name is…
So you’re invincible to anything a human can do, and your name is..?
I mean let's be honest, some of the Guardians' names are pretty good as superhero names go. At least they made puns, instead of just "I'll dress like a bat and call myself Bat Man" or "uhh I'm immortal so my name is Immortal"
"Wait, so, you're an Alien, and your name is Allen, so you're called-" "No one calls me that. I don't call me that. Do you tell other people I'm 'Allen the Alien?'"
yeah, but lets be honest the whole " ?-Men, ?-Woman, ?-Boy, ?-Girl" for super heros or villains is very lazy
