Ben 10 Characters - They Are Not As Mindless As They May First Appear
Don't panic - this is not a guide to all the Ben 10 characters.
I have been subjected to Ben Tennyson and his motley gang for years now, but there are some I have learnt to appreciate and may be even admire a little.
Ben 10 may be written for kids, but there are some adults out there who had a great time thinking up the aliens.
Below are some of my favourite Ben 10 characters.
Upchuck The whole idea of upchuck is vile and disgusting, yet some how he still manages to be funky little guy.
Upchuck is a Gourmand.
This is a play on the French word Gourmet, a person who enjoys food.
He originates from the planet Peptos.
Peptos is the Greek word meaning digested.
This lovely little alien is useful as he can eat his way through just about anything, there is nothing gourmet about his pallet.
His body will then increase to fit in all the food, turning him into something not looking too dissimilar to a walking belly.
His weapon is his ability to regurgitate and blast his attackers with explosive balls of stomach acid.
Big Chill Big Chill is a rather fragile looking alien, but this is partly because of the very strange way in which he works.
Big Chill is a Necrofriggian, a combination of the words for death and cold.
He is from the plant Kylmyys which is the Finnish word for coldness.
Big Chill can fly and uses his wings to wrap around him, making it look like a cloak to keep out the heat.
The reason to like Big Chill is nothing really to do with its alien powers, but because Big Chill produced the cutest of babies.
A great episode during which my son was horrified to discover that perhaps this cool alien was a girlie! Ditto Ditto is a Splixson, a play of the word split.
Ditto reminds me of family life.
He is not particularly strong, or particularly powerful.
When Ben becomes Ditto he can split himself and then the clones can all act independently, almost regardless of Bens wishes.
This is the bit I like, they all run off and do their own thing, but they all share the same pain.
So if one of them is daft or careless they all suffer! This is like when one child manages to ruin the whole families day out! I am sure that this Ben 10 character must have been thought up by a parent.
So next time the Ben 10 characters are blasting through the peace and calm of your family, and you are praying for the batteries in their toy Omnitrix to expire, remember that they are not all mindless.
