This Ben 10 trivia quiz has 99 free questions with answers and covers the whole franchise, not just the summer road trip. It starts with the original 2005 series - Ben, Gwen and Grandpa Max in the RV, the ten starting aliens, Vilgax, Kevin 11 and the Plumbers - then works through Alien Force, Ultimate Alien, Omniverse and the 2016 reboot, plus the two live-action films, the animated movies and the video games. Roughly a third of the questions are easy warm-ups written for younger fans (which alien is made of fire, what Ben shouts before he transforms, what Grandpa Max's RV is called). The rest climb through voice actors, working titles, episode trivia and merchandise numbers to the kind of detail only someone who watched all 393 episodes would know. Every answer has been checked against Wikipedia and the sources it cites, and each explanation adds one more thing worth knowing.

Q 01How is Gwen related to Ben Tennyson in the original Ben 10 series?
His cousin
His cousin, and in the what-if episode 'Gwen 10' she is the one who finds the Omnitrix, adjusting to its powers far faster than Ben ever did.
Q 02What nickname does Grandpa Max's RV go by in Ben 10?
The Rustbucket
The Rustbucket is where it all begins: on the family's first night camping in the battered RV, Ben finds the crashed pod that holds the Omnitrix.
Q 03The Omnitrix is an alien device shaped like what everyday object?
A wristwatch
A wristwatch in shape, the Omnitrix latches onto Ben's arm the moment he reaches for it and refuses to come off, which is how a ten-year-old ends up keeping it.
Q 04Which of these is one of Ben Tennyson's catchphrases?
"It's Hero Time!"
"It's Hero Time!" is Ben's rallying cry, and it returns as the Ultimate Alien episode title 'Hero Time', in which a celebrity superhero he idolises turns on him out of jealousy.
Q 05Which alien is the very first one that Ben Tennyson ever transforms into?
Heatblast
Heatblast is the form Ben takes the night the Omnitrix attaches itself, and he promptly sets the forest ablaze by accident, then puts it out by lighting a second fire.
Q 06Which red-skinned alien is the heavy hitter among Ben Tennyson's original ten?
Four Arms
Four Arms is all muscle until Ben catches a cold: the illness carries over to his aliens and leaves the big brawler smelling terrible.
Q 07Which velociraptor-like alien is the speedster of Ben Tennyson's original ten?
XLR8
XLR8, whose name sounds out 'accelerate', makes his debut running a personal errand: Ben races home and leaves two school bullies hanging from a tree.
Q 08Which tiny, frog-like alien is the genius of Ben Tennyson's original ten?
Grey Matter

Q 09Which alien did Ben 10's makers hide a villain inside, dropping hints throughout season one?
Ghostfreak
Ghostfreak carried a second mind all along, the alien he was copied from, who broke out of the Omnitrix in season two as the villain Zs'Skayr and was cut from the opening credits.
Q 10What secret organisation does Grandpa Max reveal he once belonged to?
The Plumbers
The Plumbers were a secret government agency that dealt with aliens, and Max only admits he was an agent after Vilgax, a warlord he once defeated himself, comes for the Omnitrix.
Q 11What is the name of Ben Tennyson's hometown?
Bellwood
Bellwood is where Ben goes home when the summer road trip ends, and the live-action film Race Against Time opens there with him struggling to fit back into ordinary school life.
Q 12Which orange, dog-like alien of Ben Tennyson's original ten has no eyes and hunts by smell?
Wildmutt
Wildmutt can only growl and snarl, so Ben cannot talk in the form, and when Ben catches a cold the alien loses its sense of smell and, with it, its only way of seeing.
Q 13In the 2016 reboot, Kevin Levin wields a knock-off of Ben's device called what?
The Antitrix

Q 21What is Ben's future self called in the original series?
Ben 10,000

Q 22What is Kevin Levin's power when he first meets Ben in New York?

Q 17Who voiced ten-year-old Ben Tennyson in the original series?

Q 20Which alien does Ben discover at Yellowstone as the eleventh form on the Omnitrix?
