00:04 Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for moments from the Ben 10
00:10 franchise where characters put their impressive strengths on full display.
00:15 [Grunting]
00:22 Number 20
00:23 Ben Tries to Kill Kevin - Ben 10 Ultimate Alien
00:27 When Kevin reverts back to his old villainous ways due to his absorption of the Ultimatrix,
00:33 it's up to Ben to make some tough decisions.
00:35 "If you won't use your powers to track him down, I'll just go find him myself."
00:39 "But it's Kevin!"
00:41 "Wake up and smell the end of the world, Gwen. He's out of control."
00:44 Ultimately, he decides he has to stop Kevin by any means possible.
00:49 This is a situation so serious that Ben is all out of jokes.
00:53 During their fight, Ben brings out a special ruthlessness that we don't see too often.
00:59 He unleashes a painful sonic doom onto his old friend,
01:03 and is close to doing it again without a second thought.
01:07 It's a chilling moment to see Ben act so mercilessly like he does here.
01:11 "One more should do it."
01:13 "Ben, don't!"
01:15 We only hope that he doesn't go this far again.
01:18 Number 19
01:20 Alien X recreates the universe.
01:23 Ben 10 Omniverse
01:25 Power scalers can debate all they want about which characters are the most powerful,
01:30 but being able to recreate the whole universe from scratch
01:33 is something that's pretty hard to one-up.
01:36 When a doomsday device called the Annihilarg is accidentally set off,
01:40 the entire universe goes boom.
01:42 Nice going, guys.
01:44 While the universe is in the middle of being reduced to atoms,
01:47 Alien X is here to save the day.
01:49 "Alien X can do many things. We just both have to agree to it.
01:54 Bellicus."
01:56 "Serena."
01:59 "Fine."
02:01 Ben turns into the immensely powerful Celestial Sapien,
02:05 and manages to restore the universe to almost exactly how it was before.
02:09 This accomplishment speaks for itself.
02:12 Forget about going beast mode, this is Alien X going god mode.
02:16 "I was too late to save the universe, so I used Alien X to make a whole new one."
02:20 "Yeah, not buying it."
02:22 Number 18
02:24 Deca eats meat.
02:25 Ben 10 Alien Force
02:27 You know when Popeye eats spinach, he gets all kinds of superpowers?
02:31 That's kind of what happens when Deca eats meat.
02:34 Only his powers involve transforming into a psychotic beast.
02:38 Deca is kidnapped by Mayor Coleman,
02:40 who exploits the alien's ability to poop gold to keep his city rich.
02:45 That's pretty crappy behavior.
02:47 "Our entire economy is based on alien poop."
02:49 "Wrong on so many levels."
02:53 Eventually, he feeds Deca meat, thinking it'll make him churn out more gold.
02:58 It isn't a very bright idea.
03:00 It instead causes Deca to morph into a monstrous version of himself,
03:04 which goes on a rampage.
03:07 He eats all kinds of things you shouldn't be eating,
03:10 like an entire building for starters.
03:12 He's only defeated when he vomits up multiple clones of Echo Echo.
03:17 That's gonna cause a stomachache.
03:19 "That was different."
03:24 Number 17
03:26 Gwen threatens to destroy the Ultimates.
03:29 Ben 10 Ultimate Alien
03:31 While this will always be Ben's show, don't count Gwen out.
03:36 She's pretty powerful too.
03:38 As an anodyte, a race of predominantly female magical aliens,
03:42 Gwen has unique powers.
03:44 And these powers make her capable of all sorts of destruction.
03:47 "Hey! Nobody picks on Ben but me!"
03:50 "That's the way it works in families, right?"
03:55 When the aliens within Ben's Ultimatrix develop consciousness,
03:59 these Ultimates realize they want out.
04:01 To save her trapped cousin, Gwen transfers her mind into the Ultimatrix.
04:06 Now enveloped in the full power of her anodyte form,
04:09 she threatens to destroy all of the Ultimates that are harming Ben.
04:13 "If you use that power for too long..."
04:15 "I risk losing my humanity.
04:17 That's why I'm not wasting any more time.
04:19 I'm destroying these transformations, Ben!"
04:22 While she doesn't end up destroying them after all, she truly could have.
04:27 Gwen's not a woman you want to cross.
04:29 Number 16
04:31 Kyber goes berserk.
04:33 Ben 10 Omniverse
04:34 Trust is everything.
04:37 So when a parasite called Skurd betrays the galaxy's greatest hunter, Kyber,
04:42 tensions break out.
04:43 Skurd ditches Kyber and his Nemetrix to leech off of Ben's Omnitrix instead.
04:49 We know you're an alien parasite, Skurd, but does loyalty really mean so little to you?
04:54 "Unsporting little leech."
04:56 "Will you cease that inconsequential bellowing?"
04:59 Kyber later goes berserk, using his Nemetrix to transform into a deadly Tyranipede.
05:06 Kyber attacks both Ben and Skurd, and he does it with a vicious and primal attitude.
05:11 He quite literally goes beast mode.
05:14 While he's eventually defeated and taken into custody,
05:17 Kyber reminds us again just how dangerous he can be.
05:20 Number 15
05:30 Wrath goes into the belly of the beast.
05:32 Ben 10 Alien Force
05:34 When the baby prince of Lwoda is delivered to King Jaret as a way to broker peace,
05:39 things don't exactly go as expected.
05:42 When Ben and the others see that Jaret eats the prince,
05:45 Ben's wrath comes in the form of his new alien, fittingly called Wrath.
05:50 "Did you just eat the baby?"
05:53 Wrath forces his way into the giant king's stomach.
05:58 A few seconds later, he forcibly eggs at Jaret's stomach with the prince,
06:02 while also knocking several of his large teeth out in the process.
06:06 Wrath then promises to make a sweater out of Jaret's insides if he tries to threaten war.
06:13 Take his advice, Jaret.
06:14 "I just jumped on your throat!
06:16 You start a war with the Lwodans, and I will do it again!
06:21 Only next time, I will knit your intestines into a sweater!"
06:25 Number 14
06:27 Vilgax slices through a spaceship.
06:29 Ben 10 Alien Force
06:32 Vilgax doesn't slow down for anything, whether it be a stop sign, a red light,
06:37 or in this case, a fully functioning alien spaceship.
06:40 In the episode "Ghost Town" from Alien Force,
06:44 Vilgax ventures off to freeze the scare from prison.
06:47 He hopes to gain critical info from the evil ghost,
06:50 like the Omnitrix's secrets and how to destroy Ben.
06:54 "The secrets of the Omnitrix."
06:56 "Tell me, then I will set you free."
07:00 And on his way to find Zyskar, he has a brief tangle with the unsuspecting spaceship.
07:05 He slices through it like nothing thanks to the shield of Siegel.
07:09 He's both quick and brutal in his assault.
07:12 And while the robot guards put up a fight, they're just no match for the mighty Vilgax.
07:17 Number 13
07:19 Ghost Freak's Influence
07:21 Ben 10
07:22 There's a reason Ghost Freak is one of Ben's least favorite aliens.
07:26 He turns into Ghost Freak once in order to stop the Circus Freak trio
07:31 during one of their misadventures.
07:33 But when he transforms, it's clear that something is wrong.
07:37 "We ain't scared of no ghosts."
07:39 "You should be."
07:44 Ben becomes far more ruthless.
07:47 He does vicious things, like shoving acid breath into a wall
07:51 and nearly frying Thumbskull's brain.
07:54 And to top it off, he also uses Frightwig's own hair
07:58 to repeatedly slam her head first into the floor.
08:02 Yeesh.
08:03 It turns out that Ghost Freak is a lot more than just some alien for Ben to transform into.
08:08 He's actually Zyskar, and he quickly becomes one of Ben's most dangerous enemies.
08:14 "Man, I'm glad to be rid of that freak."
08:16 "Oh, and I thought we were close.
08:21 So nice to finally meet you, face to face."
08:25 Number 12.
08:27 Zyskar Enslaves Vilgaxia.
08:30 Ben 10 - Alien Force
08:32 Zyskar is one of the best villains of the franchise,
08:35 and this moment is one of the many reasons why.
08:38 When Vilgax comes to Ben for help, you know things are bad.
08:43 Vilgax reveals to the group that his home planet of Vilgaxia has been conquered by Zyskar.
08:48 "There was nothing I could do but escape and bring back help.
08:54 That is to say you, Ben Tennyson."
08:59 With an uneasy alliance now formed, the group sets out to reclaim the planet.
09:04 But the thing with Zyskar is that he's not just taking over the planet.
09:08 He's also possessing all of its citizens and transforming them into actoneurite slaves.
09:14 "But now that you're here, I wouldn't mind possessing your power as well."
09:19 "You are welcome to try."
09:22 Conquering Vilgax's planet like it's nothing is a major power move.
09:27 And then making Vilgax's people his own slaves is like adding insult to injury.
09:33 Come on, Vilgax, you gotta step up your game.
09:35 Number 11.
09:37 It Should Have Been Me.
09:38 Ben 10 - Secret of the Omnitrix
09:41 After Gwen seemingly sacrifices herself to save Ben from a wild Florana pack,
09:46 he takes the death pretty hard.
09:48 He tries his best to save her as forearms, but it isn't any good.
09:52 His grief then quickly turns to rage as he starts destroying everything near him.
09:57 "She sacrificed herself to save me.
10:00 It should have been me.
10:04 It should have been me."
10:07 Ben doesn't pull any punches here, and only stops when his Omnitrix times out.
10:12 While it's just objects that Ben is lashing out at, we can all still feel his pain.
10:18 This is some heavy stuff.
10:19 Seeing Ben react so viscerally over being unable to save his cousin is just heartbreaking.
10:25 We're just thrilled that Gwen is revealed to have actually survived.
10:29 Because if not, we could have seen Ben go down a much darker path.
10:33 "Gwen!"
10:35 "Ludo!"
10:37 "You're alive!"
10:38 Number 10 - Heat Blast Tantrum
10:41 Ben 10 - Secret of the Omnitrix
10:42 "No way!"
10:43 What do you get when you mix aliens, an evil sorcerer, and magic water?
10:48 A whole lot of trouble.
10:49 "With control of the water, I shall become immortal!"
10:53 After exposure to water from the legendary Fountain of Youth turns Ben and his aliens
10:58 into toddlers, he's unable to match the power of a rejuvenated Hex.
11:03 "This is not funny!"
11:04 All hope seems lost until Gwen decides to use Ben's toddler personality to their advantage.
11:10 "Even if you went heat blast to melt Hex, he'd just blow you out like you were a birthday candle."
11:15 With the power of reverse psychology, Gwen tricks heat blast into throwing a tantrum,
11:21 causing the young Pyronite to unleash a miniature supernova,
11:24 blowing up the fountain and Hex's evil plan along with it.
11:27 "Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!"
11:34 Number 9. Cash Murray Gets Assimilated
11:37 Ben 10 - Alien Force
11:39 While Ben has matured a great deal from when he was 10,
11:42 the same can't be said for his former tormentors Cash and JT.
11:47 "It's ridiculous! Could you at least try being original for a change?"
11:50 After Ben calls out and humiliates them, Cash and JT take out their frustration on Kevin's car.
11:56 "Dude, that's hardcore."
11:58 In the process, they steal dangerous alien technology,
12:01 which soon fixes itself onto Cash, making him both stronger and more violent.
12:06 "You don't have to worry, Levin. This isn't about you."
12:09 After beating Kevin, Cash's thirst for revenge goes too far when he threatens
12:14 innocent civilians, including his friend JT, forcing Ben to step in and stop him.
12:19 "You guys thought I was so funny? Who's laughing now?"
12:22 While Cash's rampage is eventually stopped before any permanent harm is done,
12:27 the experience shows just how easily such behavior can get out of hand.
12:31 [Explosion]
12:35 8. Ben Tennyson Tries to Destroy Malware - Ben 10 Omniverse
12:40 "I am here for Asmuth."
12:42 Prior to his final defeat, Malware was one of the few beings in the universe
12:46 who scared Ben more than anything, and for good reason.
12:50 "What goes around, comes around."
12:52 "Excellent suggestion."
12:54 Along with being the most violent and psychopathic member of his species,
12:58 Malware is also responsible for causing a traumatic event in Ben's childhood.
13:02 After Malware rips out Feedback, Ben's favorite alien from the Omnitrix,
13:07 he forces Ben to watch as he destroys him.
13:10 "Isn't this a surprising turn of events? If I am not mistaken,
13:15 this seems to be your favorite alien, Ben Tennyson. Correct?"
13:19 Ben becomes so consumed by rage that he does not hesitate to destroy Malware
13:24 by using the Omnitrix to overload him.
13:26 "You want it so bad? Here!"
13:29 Although his attempt may have failed, Ben's desire to finish off Malware was all too real.
13:34 7. Phil Billings' Inner Monster - Ben 10 Omniverse
13:40 "Hey ugly, we were just talking about you."
13:41 Grandpa Max may be an ideal role model, but the same can't be said for his former partner Phil.
13:47 "You always were too smart for your own good, Max."
13:50 While Max is selfless and heroic, Phil is a selfish individual
13:53 who is even willing to betray his own comrade for personal gain.
13:57 After spending years trapped in the Null Void,
14:00 Phil returns an even bigger threat than before.
14:02 "Max! Help! Help!"
14:05 Following a failed experiment involving the Nemetrix,
14:08 Phil acquires the power to transform into an alien-predator hybrid.
14:13 Along with an insatiable hunger for electricity,
14:15 Phil also becomes more violent and ruthless,
14:18 to the point where he claims that there is nothing left of his former humanity.
14:22 "Soon, even that old Phil body will be gone."
14:26 6. Ben Tennyson and Rex Salazar vs Alpha - Ben 10 Generator Rex - Heroes United
14:34 "You guys are our best hope? We're doomed!"
14:37 You know a villain is dangerous when it requires the greatest heroes
14:40 from two different universes to defeat them.
14:43 The Alpha Nanite is one such villain.
14:45 "Power to change life itself. What foolishness to give my brothers such a command."
14:52 After escaping from the Null Void and causing mass chaos,
14:56 Ben and Rex Salazar confront Alpha for one final battle.
15:00 Along with absorbing millions of nanites, Alpha steals power from the Ultimatrix,
15:05 allowing him to transform into a variety of nightmarish forms.
15:08 "Your machine is most interesting. Perhaps within I can find a suitable host."
15:14 If that wasn't bad enough, Alpha's rampage soon reaches cataclysmic levels
15:19 after it absorbs Rex's Omega Nanite,
15:22 turning it into an even bigger monster capable of destroying the world.
15:25 "The Omega Nanite is mine."
15:28 5. Ben 10,000 Rages - Ben 10
15:32 "Time to finish you once and for all."
15:35 Although Ben grows up to become one of the universe's strongest heroes,
15:38 this also results in a more dangerous rogues gallery.
15:41 In one alternate future, Ben faces his old nemesis, Kevin 11,
15:46 who returns more powerful and more twisted than ever before.
15:49 "With all that time in the Null Void, I was able to absorb a few tricks."
15:54 When Kevin's strength proves too much for Ben to handle,
15:57 Ben's son Ken and Kevin's son Devlin try to help.
16:01 "Dad, stop! You proved you're the best! You can go now!"
16:04 Though noble, their efforts prove to be in vain, as Kevin easily defeats them.
16:09 Unfortunately for Kevin, this also has the effect of infuriating Ben.
16:13 "How dare you!"
16:17 With his second win, Ben unleashes his rage onto Kevin with the father of all beatdowns.
16:22 4. The Nalgian Destructor - Ben 10 Alien Force
16:27 "Careful, Ben!"
16:28 It's hard enough to defeat advanced alien tech that imitates any action you make,
16:33 but when you add the Vreedle brothers into the mix, you get a recipe for disaster.
16:37 "It appears that you've got something that belongs to us."
16:42 After stealing a device known as the Nalgian Destructor,
16:45 the Vreedle's violent actions cause the device to get a taste for destruction,
16:49 causing it to go on a rampage in downtown Bellwood.
16:52 However, what's probably more surprising is the fact that the device is not actually a weapon,
17:00 but rather a children's toy.
17:02 "We were on an afternoon excursion to the lower dimensions,
17:05 and she must have dropped it out of her carriage."
17:08 If a toy was capable of causing so much damage,
17:10 one can only imagine what a true Nalgian weapon can do.
17:14 "This toy is clearly marked 'Not for children under 3 million years old.'"
17:19 3. The Ultimates Rebel - Ben 10 Ultimate Alien
17:22 Although the Ultimatrix is one of the most powerful inventions ever created,
17:31 it's far from perfect. In fact, one of its biggest flaws almost causes Ben's demise.
17:36 "Ben, calm down!"
17:38 "My name's not Ben!"
17:43 When Ben starts acting crazy after transforming into Ultimate Humungousaur,
17:50 he's pulled into the Ultimatrix where he discovers that his Ultimate Forms are actually alive.
17:55 What's even worse is that the Ultimates believe Ben has imprisoned them,
17:58 and that the only way to free themselves is to destroy him.
18:01 "You can't control us. Not ever again!"
18:05 Although he attempts to reason with them, Ben is unable to quell the Ultimates' rage.
18:09 It isn't until he sacrifices himself that Ben finally frees the Ultimates
18:13 from both their prison and their hatred.
18:15 2. Jennifer Nocturne Loses It - Ben 10 Ultimate Alien
18:26 Once a great hero, Captain Nemesis' jealousy of Ben causes him to fall from grace after he
18:32 kidnaps Ben's girlfriend Julie, along with actress Jennifer Nocturne.
18:36 "Do you have the gauntlet?"
18:37 "I found it right where you said."
18:39 "Good girl."
18:40 However, rather than feel threatened by Nemesis,
18:43 Jennifer ends up falling for him - and not in a good way.
18:47 Suffering from Stockholm Syndrome, Jennifer's obsession with Nemesis reaches its peak
18:51 after she helps him to escape from prison so that he can get revenge on Ben.
18:55 As a result of her actions, Nemesis goes too far.
18:58 "Your time is up."
19:00 All the while, Jennifer's morals worsen to the point where she not only attacks and injures Ben,
19:05 but is even willing to take his life.
19:07 "He's pure evil!"
19:09 "He's all I've got!"

19:26 1. Kevin Levin Goes Crazy - Ben 10 Ultimate Alien
19:32 "Hands off the baby, Levin."
19:34 Due to the nature of his powers, Kevin cannot absorb too much energy without becoming a danger
19:39 to himself and others. He learned this the hard way when he was a kid.
19:50 While his transformation was certainly intense, even that moment pales in comparison to his other
19:55 transformation years later. To stop the evil Aggregor from absorbing the powers of a baby
20:00 celestial sapien and ruling the universe, Kevin absorbs the power of the Ultimatrix.
20:05 "Let's see who's weak after I take your powers too."
20:09 As a result, Kevin loses control of himself,
20:11 turning into a power-hungry monster driven by madness and revenge.
20:15 As a result, Kevin goes berserk, attacking not just his enemies, but his closest allies as well.
20:21 Things got so bad that Ben was willing to end it right then and there.
20:26 "I'll try to make this as quick and painless as I can.
20:29 Sonic Doom!"
20:34 Is there a jaw-dropping moment we missed? Let us know in the comments.
20:46 "Don't get greedy, parasite."
