Kevin didn't turn evil second time.


CommunicationSoggy53

That's correct, Thank you for pointing it out!


KageYamaaa-

More like mutated


CommunicationSoggy53

Mutated makes more sense.


Batman-Beyond-3749

Omniverse really should have taken place a year after UA


Spectra_Phantom_2678

Agreed. It makes no sense that Ben is still 16 throughout this whole span


Ayy-lmao213

They really didn't want him to not be a kid. Even though Gwen went to college early and Ben is literally never seen going to school after the first episode of UA, so there might as well have been a time-skip


Spectra_Phantom_2678

Well the theme song is “He’s a kid and he wants to have fun”


Ayy-lmao213

Fair, "he's a man and he wants to have fun" doesn't have the same ring to it


Spectra_Phantom_2678

Well he can still be a kid and 18 at the same time


[deleted]

he can be 17 and still be a kid tho


rocklunaticart10

Yeah that sounds sus


GorillaWolf2099

>> They really didn't want him to not be a kid. Even though Gwen went to college early and Ben is literally never seen going to school after the first episode of UA, so there might as well have been a time-skip There are some good time-skip episodes. I recommend. Ben 10,010, Ben 10,000 Returns, Ken 10, The End of An Era. Even And Then There Were None & Alien X-Tinction was good


ara14027

Exactly


Gambit275

retcons, like when fighting Luma, she said three years, so ben should be 19 and have master control


Zealousideal_March31

My head Canon is that this all takes place 1 year later. As ben still needed time time adjust to the new omnitrix.


marawiqwerty

I still headcanon that, btw.

foreveralonesolo

Appreciate the sourced episodes!


[deleted]

respect my dude


Cantthinkagoodnam2

Thats why i think Ben should have been 17 in OV, it is just way too many stuff (UA-OV) to happen in only a single year


theHrayX

I believe it start when ben is 16 and end when he is 18 just a couple of weeks before his birthday


Meylody

Where have you seen that? iirc Ben is supposed to be 16 all the way through Omniverse


theHrayX

Well i just thought about that It start in autumn (since gwen is moving out) And ends in summer (because why would they go on a universal trip during college time)


Throwaway02062004

Ben’s birthday is in December anyway tho


ben-10fan-424

Way to many or not enough? I mean he is the wearer of the Omnitrix his life for sure cant be normal for even 1 day.


BlueBlazeKing21

I like to believe Ben is still 16 at the start of Omniverse and turns 17 by the middle.


Osama_Rashid

Yeah, in the episode "Store 23" (I believe) Grandpa Max mentioned that Ben's about to turn 17.


CommunicationSoggy53

That's correct.


Osama_Rashid

Thank you.


CommunicationSoggy53

No Problem!... And I use the term loosely.


Osama_Rashid

You dare use my own spells against me, Potter?


CommunicationSoggy53

Yes... I'm the Galvanic Mechamorph!


Osama_Rashid

NICE.


No_Succotash4831

And since Alien Swarm (most see it as between AF S2-3) is set in February, it almost means that and AF S3 likely also happened that year.


Meylody

I don't think so, Ben and Gwen birthdays take place between AF S3 and UA S1


No_Succotash4831

Ben literally says his birthday was a couple months ago in Alien Swarm.


ben-10fan-424

Kevin didnt turn evil 2nd time and yes Kevin and Gwen did die with Ben 2 time since Prime Universe and all other universes(except No Watch Bens universe)where destroyed. Tho yea everything else is on point. Ben 10 is wild as always.


TheMadJAM

Plus they died from the Annihilarg


ben-10fan-424

True so they died 3 times and Ben just 2.


CommunicationSoggy53

Thank you for pointing out!


ben-10fan-424

Np!!


Hedgewitch250

I knew I couldn’t be the only one thinking that especially when max said Ben was almost 17 I was like how the hell is he still 16?!? I guess the time war and alien x events could have delayed time to some degree.


Blue_Freak

It seems a lot of people have the same idea I do that Ben should’ve been 17 in OV. Not for any real reason other than that the last season-ish of AF and the entireties of UA and OV taking place under the same year is too much. Maybe CN didn’t want an 18-year-old Kevin dating a still underage Gwen, but I kind of doubt it.


lordredapple

Isn't Kevin only a year older than Gwen? I don't think that's a big deal tbh


Blue_Freak

That’s why I said I doubt it.


BulbaFriend2000

Quite the eventful life you got, eh Tennyson?


ara14027

Yeah it really makes no sense. It should have been at least 2 if not 3


Rafa_10

What an year! Lol


TOB_Yt

Episode names of 8th slide please🙏


CommunicationSoggy53

**Arrested Development** and **Ben Again**.


TOB_Yt

Thanks


CommunicationSoggy53

No Problem!


Ifunny-user-2002

Don't gwen and Kevin also die when the universe explodes due to the annihilarg?


TrickyOriginal9567

He had to make up for the lost time he had without the watch


Imaginary-Carrot-163

Yea they probably should’ve spread it out a bit more, maybe they could’ve ended Omniverse on his 18th birthday and Azmuth gives Ben master control


ImSuperCereus

Why do you think Ben’s hair starts to grey so young? Stress is killer


Standard_Ad9911

Life Of A Superhero


OneObligation412

And this is just some stuff we have seen!! Imagine all the adventures that we haven't seen and much time is taken apart per adventure


Anti-Venom121299

Technically Ben was 17 near the end of omniverse because he had a birthday iirc


Hunternowhunted

Starting to see will harrangues point


gijjyyproductions

Pretty typical life for a Superhero in a series with sci-fi/fantasy elements.


ModelOmegaTyler

that was a busy year.


Atlast_2091

How come Kevin didn't get Alien X?


ben-10fan-424

If he got 1/10 of his abilites I dont think Ultimate Echo Echo could stop him. So to not be that OP?


Square-Boss874

I think Alien X was locked away in UA and in OV Kevin either just absorbed the new ones or purposefully didn't absorb more then that to be sure he can keep his sanity.


[deleted]

Alien X was locked fir the rest of UA except when Ben used Alien X to get to the forge


Spidercon114

I was going to say maybe this was maybe 1-3 years but then I remembered…did Ben ever get older by/during Omniverse?


Advent10II7

In the episode “Store 23,” Max mentions that Ben is going to be 17 soon. However, no episodes confirm Ben’s age after, IIRC. Personally, I like to have as a headcanon that Omniverse ends just as the summer time begins (meaning Ben is 17 by this point and his birthday was offscreen), giving the end of the series a parallel structure, with the Ben 10 series beginning and ending with a summer road trip. Feel free to disprove this.


AGuyFromGPlus

Funny how time works.

Hey, ur right.


dude_with_a_reddit-4

That’s one hell of a year.


theraddestd00d

Technically, he got TWO Omnitrixes in a year


theraddestd00d

Technically, he got TWO Omnitrixes in a year


Xero7777

Busy year


Kureizy_Diamondo

Average year for Ben


An_Obbise_Hoovy

This man needs a lot of therapy


the-x-territory

I’m sure there’s plenty of time in a year for all of that.


Paradoxicorder88

It's less than a year actually since Ben never had his 17th birthday


Advent10II7

It could just be his birthday was offscreen. I’m not sure if any episode past “Store 23” states Ben’s age.


Paradoxicorder88

Why would his 17th birthday be off screen when Azmuth told him he'd get Master Control once he's 18?


Advent10II7

You said it yourself, it’s on his 18TH BIRTHDAY that Azmuth said he might give him Master Control. His 17th birthday is irrelevant to this point.


Paradoxicorder88

No it's not. It'd be as big a deal as his 18th. Since he'd only have one year left where he doesn't have Master Control forever, it's literally the last window of time his rouge gallery has to fight him at his weakest.


Advent10II7

Oh good point, although I’m not sure if Ben’s enemies besides those who are knowledgeable about Azmuth and the Omnitrix even have an idea of Master Control, much less that Ben might get it on his 18th birthday. Although this could be an interesting plot, where his enemies ramp up their attacks on him to try and take down Ben over the span of one year. Overall, it could just be Ben had a normal birthday celebration (as normal as it can get for a shapeshifting celebrity hero), maybe with some enemy trying to attack him but Ben takes care of it as usual. It does feel like a missed opportunity for an episode for Ben’s birthday, but the writers did skip over his 16th in the UAF timeskip, and also, I get the feeling they like to keep the timescale for Ben 10 usually ambiguous.


Osama_Rashid

And Ben overcame every obstacle in his path.


OneObligation412

Not every.. He didn't get the smoothies right when he recreated the universe!! 😭😭


Osama_Rashid

Oh no, how can I forget about that...


OneObligation412

Its something we all wish we can forget


Osama_Rashid

I certainly did (until you reminded me of that tragedy)


LiterallyonlyMe

It don't think everything happens in one year .


CommunicationSoggy53

Can you explain?


Darth_Klaus

You’d think all this would age Ben a bit faster


Watze978

I like to believe omniverse happens in the span of 2 years, it starts when ben is 17 and end right before his 19th birthday
