With the fifth branch of the "Ben 10" franchise, the animated series returns to its roots and its original name, bringing Benjamin "Ben" Tennyson, his cousin Gwen, and Grandpa Max back to life in a new summer vacation adventure. As in the original, the stories in the reboot revolve around an alien watch called the "Omnitrix," which allows Ben to transform into ten different aliens, each with unique supernatural powers. He battles enemy aliens and experiences the most thrilling vacation imaginable with his grandpa and cousin.
