Bad Ben is an alternate and evil version of Ben Tennyson.
Appearance
Bad Ben bears a very strong resemblance to Ben Prime, except he has black hair instead of brunette hair, which is natural.[DJW 1] He also has mint green-colored eyes, shirt, and an Omnitrix of the same color. Plus his cargo pants are of a darker brown color and his shoes are black instead of green.
Personality
| “ | "Evil" is relative. | ” |
– Bad Ben to No Watch Ben.[1] | ||
Bad Ben enjoys being bad; from small things such as intentionally withholding an explanation about the multiple Bens from No Watch Ben to maintain the latter's terror, to bigger things such as sadistically attacking and tormenting the good Bens.
Bad Ben also speaks slower than Ben Prime. Bad Ben has a twisted sense of humor, as he exclaimed to a crowd of shoppers upon suddenly poking his head out of a wall at them as Ghostfreak, "Clean up on Aisle Ten!"
History
Omniverse
Bad Ben first appeared in And Then There Were None, where he was among the evil Bens recruited by Eon and Vilgax from across the multiverse and brought to No Watch Timeline to wipe No Watch Ben out. Bad Ben was the first alternate Ben that No Watch Ben encountered. Bad Ben as Ghostfreak chased No Watch Ben through town, but No Watch Ben was saved by Ben Prime. Later, in Los Soledad, Bad Ben was part of the fight between the good and evil Bens, as Gravattack. At the end of the episode, just like all the other Bens, he was erased from space-time by the Chronosapien Time Bomb.
In And Then There Was Ben, Bad Ben was brought back into existence when No Watch Ben used Clockwork to suck the Time Bomb's ripple back in. Later, he was chasing an Omnitrixless Ben Prime as Buzzshock along with Negative Ultimate Echo Echo and Mad Ben. At the end of the episode, Bad Ben was sent back to his own reality by Clockwork.
Powers and Abilities
Bad Ben displayed a few fighting skills against No Watch Ben in human form, explicitly stating that he had taken self-defense classes at some point.
Equipment
Like many of his other counterparts, Bad Ben possesses an Omnitrix.

Trivia

- It is unknown what are Bad Ben's food preferences[DJW 3] because he is probably not much of a foodie.[DJW 4]
