While on summer vacation, Ben stays with his grandfather, Max, and cousin, Gwen. During his stay, Ben discovers the Omnitrix, an alien device which allows him to turn into various extraterrestrial life forms. Ben uses the device to avert disasters, save people from terror, and fight off hostile villains including Vilgax, an alien warlord bent on using the Omnitrix to outfit an alien army.
Five years after his summer vacation, the Omnitrix had been taken by unknown means. A teenage Ben regains the Omnitrix when he and Gwen were searching for their grandfather, who was abducted by a xenophobic alien race called the Highbreed. These aliens are bent on cleansing the earth. Since Ben is older, the Omnitrix reboots itself, with Ben gaining access to a new set of aliens along with a few of his previous alien forms. Ben is joined in his search by Kevin Levin, his former enemy, as they deal with the Highbreed's universal extermination plan and later Vilgax.
Since the Omnitrix was destroyed in Ben's last battle with Vilgax, Ben gains a new "Ultimatrix" that allows him to evolve his alien forms into their ultimate forms. Ben's secret identity has now been revealed to the world, and he has become a worldwide celebrity. Meanwhile, Ben, Gwen, and Kevin must stop an Osmosian villain named Aggregor, who hunts new aliens from the Andromeda galaxy, and intends to use their powers to achieve the "ultimate prize." Later, they have to prevent the release of an extra dimensional entity called "Diagon" and prevent him from taking over the universe.
