Ben 10's History
In Ben 10: Ultimate Alien, sixteen-year-old Ben's secret identity is revealed to the world and he's now a megastar superhero loved all over by kids. This series features Ben's new car, the DX Mark 10 a heavily modified Mazda RX-8, which marked its first appearance in Ben 10: Alien Swarm, the car being gifted reluctantly by Kevin.
He is also seen with Julie, who now shares a considerably stronger bond with; the two help their team from time to time. Ben and Kevin are now true friends, not rivals.
Ben is now armed with an enhanced, upgraded version of the Omnitrix, the Ultimatrix, which evolves his aliens into their Ultimate Forms (as he calls them), and also has every alien he has ever transformed into, though at the moment, Ben has yet to either transform into or re-unlock all of them (His future self Ben 10,000 has unlocked all of the aliens he has ever transformed into up until now, with a few new ones just to annoy Azmuth). He is now also on good terms with his old school bullies, Cash and J.T.
The series introduces two new enemies for Ben's rogue gallery: nasty news reporter Will Harangue, who sees Ben as a public threat, and a villainous Osmosian named Aggregor, whose sinister plan involves draining the powers of five powerful aliens from the Andromeda Galaxy to make himself the most powerful being in the galaxy. Interestingly, these five aliens also provide Ben with his five newest alien forms.
After Ben scanned Ra'ad, he now has a total of 1,000,910 genetic samples in the Codon Stream. After Kevin was mutated by absorbing the Ultimatrix's Energy Core and lost his sanity again, he successfully defeated Aggregor with help from Young Ben. Kevin was finally cured in Absolute Power: Part 2 with help from Darkstar and what was left of the Dominus Librium.
He then faced the Lucubra, a creature from an alternate dimension. He was told to beware it by a man called Old George and by Paradox in Ben 10,000 Returns.
In Solitary Alignment, he learns about Azmuth's creation, Ascalon, the sword that is wielded by Sir George and is told of how Sir George obtained the sword. Ben struck up a deal with Sir George, that if he is unable to slay Dagon, then he will take the sword and attempt to defeat Dagon.
In The Ultimate Enemy: Part 1 and Part 2, Ben and his team go to the final battle between Dagon and Vilgax. Dagon turns every human on Earth into an Esoterica and fought Ben and George. Dagon's seal was broken, and he appeared in the human world. Dagon was too strong for even Ultimate Way Big to stand against, and Sir George was turned to dust when trying to fight him. Vilgax used Psyphon's device to drain Dagon's very essence to transfer his power to him. The team took the sword Ascalon and fled to the Mount Rushmore Plumber base. Vilgax forced his way inside and knocked Gwen and Kevin unconscious. Vilgax boasted about how he planned to fight another of Ben's Ultimatrix transformations; Ben decided to use a different means to fight him, Ascalon. He uses the sword to subdue Vilgax and absorb Dagon's power from him.
Ben may have won the battle, but he is tempted by Vilgax. Since he has the power of the Ultimatrix, Ascalon, and Dagon at his fingertips, he could fulfill his desire for peace and justice with a simple thought to destroy all evil. Ben considers this at first, but Gwen, Kevin, and even Julie try to talk him out of it. It seemed that he wouldn't give up until he uses the power to turn every Esoterica on Earth back to normal, and all the free will that goes with it. He relinquishes the sword, saying that Azmuth was right, it is too much power for anyone to have. Azmuth appears and Ben gives the sword back to him. He asks for the Ultimatrix too and gives Ben a new Omnitrix, one that he has been working on for six years since he found it. Ben asks for its Master Control, to which Azmuth replies perhaps for his 18th birthday.
