Catchphrase: ' Going Hero' in the original series and ' It's Hero Time!' Alien Force onwards.

It stopped in the UAF era, but for some reason, the writers decided to bring it back in Omniverse.

Butt-Monkey: In the original series, often as a result of his own actions.

His ten-year-old self was still shown to be quite good using high-tech weapons, and his teenage self has acceptable fighting skills, at one point displaying enough agility and reflexes to disarm Manny while still in human form. Brought Down to Badass: On occasions, Ben has been separated from the Omnitrix, unable to use it or merely staying in human form.

Khyber even admitted at one point he was a 'smart kid'. Brilliant, but Lazy: It's hinted several times that Ben is smarter than his attitude would suggest he has an almost photographic memory, shows resources to adapt when the Omnitrix gives him the wrong alien, and can get an extremely good grade when he is working seriously at school.As shown in 'And Then There Were None', this is something all Bens (including No-Watch Ben) apparently have in common. Boxing Lessons for Superman: Starting with Alien Force, Ben started learning some basic martial arts from Gwen, and apparently received basic Plumber training.Book Dumb: Ben generally isn't portrayed as a very good student, though whether he actually is bad at it or just too lazy depends on the series.This still extends when he gets older as he's more subdued but still enjoys the thrill of fighting multiple aliens. Blood Knight: Especially when he was younger he loved to fight whenever he transformed.Birthday Buddies: Shares a birthday with Gwen that initially helped fueled their rivalry as kids.Big Ol' Eyebrows: These originated from Ben's grandfather, Max, was passed down to Ben's father, Carl, and uncle, Frank, and inherited by him.Big Brother Instinct: Hurting Gwen is a great way to get on his shit list.Ascended Fanboy: He was a big fan of superheroes as a whole long before he became one himself.All-Loving Hero: For all the jerkassery he is capable of, Ben always does his best to help and save the people around him.This is presumably to give at least some sort of attack for when the Omnitrix times out. Adaptational Badass: Video game incarnations of the character tend to give him better hand-to-hand skills, which, while he has in the show, does not use very often.
