Story of Ben 10: Alien Force

This series starts five years after the first Ben 10 show ended. Ben Tennyson is now a teenager, 15 years old. He has to put on the Omnitrix again. The Omnitrix is a cool wristwatch-like device. It lets Ben change into many different alien forms. Each alien has its own special powers. Ben uses these powers to protect Earth and other parts of the universe. He fights against bad aliens who cause trouble.

    Kevin used to be one of Ben's enemies. Now, he sells alien technology. He gets pulled into the Highbreed's evil plan. Kevin joins Ben to make up for his past mistakes. He can absorb the powers of anything solid he touches, like rock or steel. This makes him super strong and protected.
