Four series in one timeline, then a reboot that starts the boy over at ten.

Where to start with Ben 10

Two separate runs, and the old one is the long one. Take the four classic series in order, because Ben genuinely ages across them and each follows the last.

  1. 1
    Ben 10 (2005) Ben 10

    Ben is ten, on a summer road trip with his grandfather and cousin, and finds a watch that turns him into aliens. Forty nine episodes and nothing precedes it.

  2. 2
    Ben 10: Alien Force (2008) Ben 10: Alien Force

    Five years later in the story. Ben is fifteen, the designs and tone change with him, and it assumes the first series completely.

  3. 3
    Ben 10: Ultimate Alien (2010) Ben 10: Ultimate Alien

    Follows Alien Force directly. Fifty two episodes, and the last before the timeline's final chapter.

Then what? Ben 10: Omniverse from 2012 closes the classic run, eighty episodes told in eight ten episode arcs. Two films belong inside that timeline: Secret of the Omnitrix, which was originally three episodes of the first series cut together, and Destroy All Aliens, which came out during Omniverse but is built on the original show and belongs with it. The 2016 series is a reboot in a different continuity with Ben ten again, and needs none of the above. Its film and its three 2021 specials follow it, and the last of them, Alien X-Tinction, is a multiverse crossover with the older continuity rather than a merging of the two. The two live action films from 2007 and 2009 are adaptations that sit outside the animated timeline.

A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below: tick anything off in either place.

Everything you tick is saved in this browser and nowhere else. An account is the only way to put your list on another device, and the only way to get it back if this browser clears its storage. It is free and it takes an email address and a password.

Sign in on your phone, your laptop, anything, and the same list is there, kept in step as you tick. Nothing to copy, nothing to remember.

All three are about this franchise and all three are for showing, not moving. The link and the picture open SagaList with that progress displayed next to whatever the person opening it has already ticked. The code is what a friend pastes into Compare below. None of them writes anything into anybody's list.

Read only. This never changes what you have saved, and nothing leaves your browser. The code has to be their code for this same franchise: codes do not carry a name, so one from somewhere else may not be recognised as wrong.

Removes everything ticked here, in this browser. If you are signed in it clears on your other devices too. If you are not, there is no other copy and this cannot be undone.
