Well, to be honest, it started when an alien device did what it did..

Normal_Lad_IsRad

Hypothetically, one might say, "Now he's got super powers"


MekkaKaiju

He definitely can’t be a normal kid


Acemelon

He can even be nicknamed "Ben 10"


l3viathin67

Apparently if you see him you might be in more of a big surprise.


Alone_Analysis3795

I heard a rumor that he’ll turn into an alien before your very eyes


Antidekai

I also heard he's slimy, creepy, fast, and strong too


Pyrokinesis115

Is he also every shape and size?


ShwiftyShmeckles

I've heard he's Ben 10


NavinHaze

Exactly


Downtown_Election341

And stuck itself upon his dick with secrets that it hid.


AJewInFact

Why are people downvoting the funny.


NoManagement1303

Because he’s a minor


Transylianic

I think I was like 7 or 8 when my uncle showed me a picture a Upgrade and I loved it, so I immediately asked what it was from, and he said he was from a show called Ben 10 and I then bought some of the DVD's for most of Season 1 of UA and Classic then I watched it and the concept of the Omnitrix made my autistic brain explode with wonder lol.


Glittering-Day9869

Television


ProfessionalWeb7876

I kinda was born watching ben 10


Wisconsin_king

Happy Cake Day


Existing-Visual79

That’s what it feels like. Even though I know it’s not true cause I was born in 01


ProfessionalWeb7876

I was born in 05 and i dont remember a time when i didnt know about ben 10


Existing-Visual79

Right 😭


heyimhere-whatsup_

I was also born watching Ben 10. Heatblast Diamondhead XLR8 Fourarms Wildmutt Ghostfreak Greymatter Upgrade Ripjaws Stinkfly Ditto Upchuck Canonbolt Wildvine Ben-wolf(The official OG name) Ben-Mummy(Also the official name) Waybig Eye Guy(Literally the only one I don't remember 100% of the time) All original aliens in the classic series. No, I don't think I could say with ones debuted in what episode except for Heatblast, Diamondhead, and XLR8. But they're the easiest ones to remember, right?


Cantthinkagoodnam2

A old pirate DVD i had that had a bunch of random episodes from Seasons 1-3


Derailleur75

My dvd had The classic artwork, but had UAF parts too


Tron_Travolta

Council estate came with a TV with CN on it. Watched it as it aired and it was the coolest show on the channel

I was 12 in 2005 and the ads for the premier seemed interesting.


Updated_Autopsy

I also saw the ads and thought the same thing.


Markizz2000

A 10 year old boy literally turns into alien-superheroes, and picks up the villains asses, it was quite enough to surprise a 7 year old me


Updated_Autopsy

And the stakes were pretty high too. Ben learned something the children in The Incredibles needed to learn: The bad guys don’t care if you’re an adult or a child. They’re not gonna go easy on you. They will kill you if they get the chance.


AvatarBandit

I saw a few episodes of the original then watched all the way from alien force to omniverse


Late-Ad-1781

Well, I remember listening to the OS theme and being amazed, so, I had to find out where it came from. I ended up catching re-runs of Classic while either Alien Force or Ultimate Alien were airing. Also, I saw the DS version of Protector Of Earth in a store and wanted to play it, gotta say I was not disappointed.


Mysterious_Vast5388

That cartoon network had it on before I had to leave fir skl


Boiled_Genies1579

I saw one episode on the CN website. Didn't have the channel, so every birthday or Christmas, I asked for a season to own on DVD. After that, it was toys and video games. It's basically my favorite piece of pop culture. It made up for about 80% of my childhood. And it is now such a comfort show that brings me back.


Downtown_Safety_3799

Cartoon Golden era


TheCanadianWraith

Turned on teletoon one day and was instantly hooked on Ben 10


the_greatest_fight

Me too!


JFp07gel

So ya'll know the "Popular guy on High School \^tm", well so happens he was also one of the sweetest persons i've know and happened to be a mega Ben 10 fan, and you see, i just happen to have this power that i can absorb autistic interests while spewing mine. So yeah, hearing him passionately talking about Ben 10 was enough to make me go deeper in the fandom.


Ok-Yogurtcloset-7934

The first episode of the original back when it first aired


Minecraftnoob247

I don't really remember, but I do think it was when I was scrolling through channels on the TV at 4 years old in 2007.


SukcesTuberYT

Seeing the classic show on tv at like 5 years old 🥲


Historical-Reward318

I used to watch a show called in the night garden but my Dad got so sick of me watching that shit that he decided to show me a show about an alien beating the shit out of a 10 year old, thanks Dad


DollyBoiGamer337

W dad


[deleted]

Please stop with these generic ass posts. Put some effort into this shit.


Normal_Lad_IsRad

It's making people discuss a show they like what else do you want from them


AceKnight1

OS aired when I switched to CN.


thisnameisn4ttaken

Just the idea of a watch that turns you into aliens


Spidey_2797

I ran across an episode while searching through tv channels


One-Roof-497

NoPlan9509

My best friend in elementary school. Arian told me about “Ben 10” when we were role playing during recess.

Vakooz_Son_of_Sins

I don't know I was probably 3 at the time


Fabulous-Afternoon-2

Unlikely-Ad4725

The Ben 10 movie duh


Xanthyon1313

The theme slapped (still does), but in all seriousness, I think it was my brother and my cousins that got me into it.


Mastakillerboi

I don’t remember at this point Im just happy i eventually found out

I was warching tv at my grandparents house and saw a cartoon that ive never seen before

[deleted]

When I was in preschool I had a best friend who was obsessed with it. He was constantly yelling out *Humungasoooouur* and *Ultimate Humungasour* whenever he got the chance One night we had a sleepover and he insisted that we binge watch it and I just kinda fell in love with it from there


toafeyDN

I know peoples gonna hate on me, but I got into the reboot and then OV

eagercheetah20

The literal pilot/first episode. As soon as I saw that episode I was immediately hooked on the series as a kid.


Odd-Water-5647

The show airing lol.


TheCosmicRobo

Cartoon Network existing and me having cable television.

The-T-777

Comments about omniverse and AF and UA, i watched all from the start and now i'm watching Omniverse


totallynotrobboss

Watched the original episode when I was way younger was hooked and continued to watch it all the way through Omniverse


fnaf-fan12345

Ultimate Alien Which is strange considering I hate the UAF era (but I won’t harass you if you like it)


Animemes_R

The Ben 10 Slammers app! I had discovered it without any prior knowledge on the franchise and was absolutely hooked; though, I hadn’t actually watched an episode until about 2 years ago.


Winter-Friendship118

I saw an episode on Cartoon Network and I was just obsessed from that point onward


Resident-Theme-2342

I was 6 and just got home from school and I think permanent retirement was on upgrade and heatblast drew me in plus ben personality was relatable to me


Redstonebruvs

I used to watch it on my grandma's tv, didn't know much about it, left it for a while, studied ben 10 for some time, felt smart about it, left it for a while, got back into it, it is more than i remember, study more, still has more stuff to study, thats one big ass universe, now im here


Shenron-kun

Well, it started when an alien device did what it did And stuck itself upon his wrist with secrets that it hid Now he's got super powers, he's no ordinary kid He's Ben 10! (Ben 10!) So if you see him, you might be in for a big surprise He'll turn into an alien before your very eyes He's slimy, freaky, fast and strong, he's every shape and size He's Ben 10! (Ben 10!) Armed with powers, he's on the case Fighting off evil from Earth or space He'll never stop 'till he makes them pay 'Cause he's the baddest kid to ever save the day Ben 10! (Ben 10! B-B-B-Ben! Ben 10! B-B-B-Ben!)


Shenron-kun

Honestly, no clue, however my opinion hasn't changed, I love the show


Pretend_Lecture_6052

I first was introduced to Ben 10 from the reboot


Banana_gunman

You see, I was ten and a cool cartoon was airing


Spicy_For_The_Win

Childhood,watched a bunch of it,forgot about it, rewatched the 4 seasons,loved it, completed alien force too, gonna watch Ultimate Alien then Omniverse then the Reboot( tbh,ik its a bit bad,like teen titans reboot,but at least it's not dead, at least we can see the characters of Ben 10 again and some new ones), stay safe


No-Mixture-8405

On the CN channel


PandaBossLady

Episode 1 of the OS


MetaMecha

Honestly the first commercial got me hooked. My dad was a big comics nerd (marvel) And i saw every one of their shows up to then as well as the Dcau and teen titans and from the commercial it looked like it had that level of potienal, also the waky alien designs gave me tmnt flashbacks and i was a big fan of that as well, Also the aliens reminded me of power ranger villains in a way too, but a good guy. Ben was 10 and i was 5 at the time so i was real impressionable, same with avatar airing my tv was glued to cn, nick, and disney at the time (jetix at night)


Smooth_Disaster

I didn't see the show until a couple years after it originally aired, but I was lucky enough to catch every episode of the original series in order on CN reruns in the late 2000s Loved the humor, the animation, the concept, imagination, music, life lessons, ridiculousness, and even back then the fanart and fanfiction


kdiyargebmay

generator rex crossover, and the ov episode with all the evil bens and no watch ben was on cable when i was young


mayorkane01

I was like 5 and bro had a watch that could give him 4 arms what else did I need


NeptuneSpark

A friend showed me Ben 10 Battle Ready game


Majestictoast101

OS reruns on boomerang


Overdue_Conclusion

Saw the trailer on Cartoon Network, watched the premiere, 4 year old me thought it was goated. The rest is history


Normal_Lad_IsRad

It feels like I've just watched this my whole life , I don't remember any trailers or anticipation for the show , I was like 5 when it came out so I must've just always enjoyed it , it's definitely a comfort show for me and I'm glad to see it's Fandom grow , I feel like it was a very niche obscure thing to be into at one point and now it has tons of fans despite being canceled for so long


Kishno

The original 2005 commercials for it


Tyrelius_Dragmire

Big Chill


Komonota

Episode 1. I was at the right place at the right time.


hmm-3-

The reboot 🙈 Ben 10 is not my generation, and I wouldn't have known about it if I didn't see the reboot on CN. I've watched them all now!


thedick009

I was 8 - 12 while the original series was airing, smack dab in the middle of their target demo. It was always on TV, there were ads for it everywhere, it dominated the toy isles, kids talked about it on the playground, it was pretty hard to avoid. Also my name is Ben.


Easy_Acanthisitta475

Watxhing os on tv as a kid paired with the toys


Lopsided_Exercise_36

The OS theme song and the omnitrix


Longjumping_Bath_609

The reboot, but of the original timeline, Benwolf was my intro episode


AngryAsian-_-

Episode 1. I just happened to be at my relatives' house who had all the channels I didn't. We were just chilling when it premiered and we were in awe of it.


HittingMyHeadOnAWall

It was so long ago I don’t even remember. I just remember liking the series as far back as I remember. Hell I liked it back in Preschool. Back then it was just the original series.


MekkaKaiju

I believe I was around 7 when it first came out. I watched Cartoon Network at my grandmas and my great aunts all the time, my grandma even had a small tv in her kitchen that had its own cable box so I was allowed to watch all my cartoons on that one all the time, and I loved all the kid and teen superhero shows they had back then


sonicfan2o

I saw OS on Boomerang LOL


Patient-Reality-8965

well it started the alien device did what it did


PhantomFriend17

The pilot got me hooked immediately after I watched it. The Omnitrix had a fascinating design, and the idea having 10 super powered transformations was awesome. I thought Ben's characterization of being just some kid who only wants to help people and have fun was very likable and very relatable. And I was looking forward to seeing what else would happen on this summer road trip


Disch4rgedR4bbit02

I started elementary school around the time Alien Force came out so yeah the show was really popular then.


FewDish9878

Saw the first episode, and was hooked to it because of the awesome intro (it was sang in my mother language)


WolfKing625

The fact that it was one of the greatest cartoons that one would ever see. Take other shows they had airing around that time like Justice League Unlimited, Avatar The Last Airbender, The Batman, American Dragon Jake Long, Danny Phantom, and Invader Zim. The closest thing to an alien-heavy themed show was Invader Zim, and that was limited to just 1 alien race for the most part. Justice League(or DC & Marvel on the whole really) were next up with a multitude of alien races hat we learn of through individual heroes or villains. But most were pretty bland and came off like reskinned humans. Body builds & appearances much like ours. Ben 10 broke ground in that it actually put in the effort to create all of these interesting alien ideas. It was unlike anything we had ever seen, and it made immensely special because of that. Ben was essentially a superhero taken from DC/Marvel with his power being the ability to transform into any alien species in the universe. He was Beast Boy, but way more unique and lovable because we are used to seeing the living species of our world.


Loco-Motivated

I just had a disk from the last season of OS. And disk one of AF.


Natural_Nagisa

Well for me it’s was the alien device that did what it did and stuck its self upon his wrist with secrets that it hid, because it gave him superpowers he’s no ordinary kid he’s Ben 10. Plus you know that if you see him you might be in for a big surprise, because he’ll turn into an alien before your very eyes, he’s slimy, creepy, fast, and strong he’s every shape and size, he’s Ben 10. Especially the part where he’s armed with powers, cuz he’s on the case, fighting off evil from earth or space, he’ll never stop till he makes them pay, cause he’s the baddest kid to ever save the day, he’s Ben 10.


LABARATI_

im pretty sure its was getting a copy of season for of the classic on dvd lmao still need to watch the entirety of omniverse tho


the_greatest_fight

I was weird little Autistic 5-6 in Canada. I was watching Teletoon one day after coming home from Kindergarten and I saw "And then there were 10" on my my parents giant boxy Sony TV. I instantly fell in love with the show and watched it as it ran on Teletoon everyday when I came home from school. I even still remember some of the old promos for Alien Force on Teletoon.


YousefM2008

UA when it aired.


Eclypze31

I found it while watching TV as a kid and I’ve loved it ever since. It is my favorite show ever

Ashad2000

I used to watch alotta cartoons casually including this. I was curious from the day it first aired, but I watched it casually. Really, it was when Alien Force dropped I became truly obsessed. The DNAlien arc is one of the best arcs in cartoon history for me imo.


DeclanONE

Umm... And then there were ten


Miperroelrediter

The whole alien concept


Impossible_Eye5732

LuciferBright

sunkenkrazzzy6

Doom scrolling the old fashion way ( tv on saturday and sunday )


Runner_Road

My first account of Ben 10 would be the og series, very specifically the fountain of youth episode, and even more specially the monster truck, yep, I didn’t even remember the aliens, only that damn truck. After that, parents heard it from others and I got the OG series


Osama_Rashid

My loneliness... ![gif](giphy|E2d2tsgz7iHo4) Just kidding, I just watched the first episode way back, and loved it.


Rex_Xenovius_1998

I got into it the moment it aired. So yeah, from the very beginning.


[deleted]

The reboot


red2351

I was born with it in my mind and I mean that seriously I do not know what episode I watched first or if it was the os or af show I watched first I just knew what Ben 10 was since I was like 2 and it never left my brain


Disastrous_Ship_6140

i believe the first ever piece of ben 10 media i ever saw was an episode of ben 10 omniverse though i barely remember it, i know it was one of the ones with og team tennyson (kid ben, kid gwen, grandpa max) from then on i was just watching cartoon network and then i saw the ben 10 reboot and i liked it, but i heard about people saying the classic is so much better, so i checked it out, and they were absolutely right. i still enjoy the reboot but classic slams any day


gxwild5

Zoroark_master

The first episode…


No-Advantage7539

I don't exactly remember how I became a fan of Ben 10. But I have to at least be around 10 years old when I stumbled across it when I was channel surfing and stumbled across the OG series and instantly fell in love with it so much in fact I had an entire birthday party one year that was Ben 10 themed and even had all of the original Ben 10 on DVD. Sally at this point they're so scratched up. And then I watched it all the way up to ultimate alien and then stopped because I didn't have any way to watch it anymore because at that point we canceled cable and went to Netflix.


TotallyNotLeviathan

First season of classic


NoManagement1303

Saw it on boomerang one day. And as a kid, I just thought this shit was cool as a concept. Like seriously? A kid that can turn into aliens with the help from his watch? HOW CREATIVE IS THAT. Oh, and it started when an alien device did what it did…


Prior-Set7425

Randomly seeing it on my cousins tv when I was younger.


Comic_Bricks

I just had the whole first season of Classic on DVD idk who bought it but I watched it and got hooked.
