Although never seeing the original series of BEN 10 before, the creators give enough insight with the opening and some past references to easily allow the viewer to understand what is happening in the universe of 10-year old Ben Tennyson who happens to own a mysterious alien device called the Omnitri that allows Ben to chane; into 10 different alien heroes, each with different powers.

The star of the series is Ben himself with his strange alien powers and when he activates the device, he metamorphosis into strange alien beasts that include Four Arms and Stinkfly to name a few.

The episodes all include Ben attempting to set things straight and the creators have really thrown in a few twists into the series. My favorite episode involves Dr. Animo who seeks revenge on Ben and also Gwen 10, a "what if" episode that features Gwen finding the Omnitrix and not Ben. The series has some great special features that include episode commentary and deleted scenes to round off this collection.
