Ben 10: Complete Series Retrospective

From 2005-2014, the Classic Ben 10 Continuity ran for four series, four TV movies, and well over 200 episodes. The story of 10-Year-Old Ben Tennyson discovering the Omnitrix, a powerful device that lets him transform into ten, and then dozens upon dozens, of aliens, followed the character as he grew up going on adventures throughout the universe. Ben 10 is Cartoon Network's original superhero and features a dense mythology that rivals DC and Marvel's most storied characters. In this retrospective, I cover the whole thing.
