Ben Tennyson (Young)

When Ben was 10 years old, Ben discovered the Omnitrix on a camping trip with his family. The device attached itself to Ben's left wrist and he soon found he could transform into 10 powerful alien creatures. Ben would later add other aliens to his collection to protect the universe from evil.

Signature Attacks
Neutral: Wildvine Side: XLR8 Up: Heatblast Down: Cannonbolt
 * Ben changes into Wildvine and says "Bombs away!" In Wildvine he tosses two seed bombs which deal 6% and creates 1 power cube.
 * It is possible to "bounce" from the first bomb depending on Ben's direction. To perform this the player must circle their control stick/D-pad in all directions and must have Ben running. Jump and using Wildvine, he has the potential to throw the first bomb above him, therefore causing it to explode and occasionally may knock him downwards, forwards, or even backwards. This will not damage Ben and he still throws the second bomb, making this tech used mostly as a movement/spacing option to evade or press an attack. If Ben does not run during this he will nudge slightly forward in the air, making it another option to hit directly above him without influencing his movement.
 * Ben changes into XLR8 and either says, Too Slow!, or Just Screams as he dashes forward. Deals 8% and creates 2 power cubes.
 * If Ben uses XLR8 on a ramp-like platform, he will reach incredible heights. This can be tested on the Flapjack 1 stage by using XLR8 to the left wall after transitioning to the pirate ship. There are many more notable examples especially throughout story mode.
 * Ben changes into Heatblast and screams sounding like a completely different alien. He rises diagonally as heat bursts in a trail where he travels. Deals 14% and creates 4 power cubes.
 * Ben changes into Cannonbolt and either says,  Gotta Bounce  ! or just screams. Cannonbolt rises and dives into the ground directly under him in a ball form and spins in place. Deals 14% and creates 4 power cubes.

Punch Time Explosion: Four Arms
Ben transforms into Four Arms and viciously rips a blue van in half (deals 50%) and throws one piece left and the other right ( each thrown part deals 40%). Creates 4 power cubes.

Synergy: Schnitzel
Young Ben turns into Four Arms, picks up Schnitzel, and throws him!
