“It’s hero time!”
Please see this comment for a list of thanks/collaborators.
Background
As that catchy intro explained, Benjamin Kirby Tennyson was a rather unremarkable kid about to go on what could be the most boring summer road trip ever, with a cousin he could barely get along with. However, due to certain shenanigans that would be revealed much later, one of the most powerful devices in the Universe crash landed to earth – physically bonding with him and giving him the ability to transform into 10 different alien forms.
It’d turn out to be a much more interesting summer than he made it out to be, from fighting petty criminals, to being dogged down by an intergalactic criminal warlord, to even saving the Universe from the imminent self-destruction of the Omnitrix. Even this, though, was just the start – Ben’s adventures would span years going all the way to his time as a teenager, making allies out of his family and even his former arch-nemesis Kevin Levin.

The Omnitrix
Background
The magnum opus of the most intelligent mind in (arguably) 5 galaxies, Azmuth, The Omnitrix was created as a tool to let a member of one species walk a mile in the shoes of another, a tool for peace that could bridge gaps between worlds in unconceivable ways.
However, like many great scientific creations, it drew the eyes of those wanting to use it for more… militaristic purposes, particularly the galactic menace known as Vilgax. Despite Azmuth’s best efforts, the watch would eventually be lost on a planet named Earth, where a child would deploy the device to another end outside of Azmuth’s intentions – heroism.
It’d turn out that the version used by Ben was merely a prototype of the finished product, which Azmuth would bestow to him after his demonstration of humility in turning down the powers of Azmuth’s Sword and Dagon.

The Ultimatrix
Background
After stealing a prototype core from Azmuth’s laboratory, Albedo constructed the Ultimatrix – a modified version of Azmuth’s creation meant to give Albedo the ability to finally take his revenge on Ben.
One thing led to another and Ben eventually took ownership of it – using it during the events of Ultimate Alien after the original Omnitrix was destroyed.

Skurd
Background
Just when Ben thought he got used to one new partner, a well-spoken slime monster latched onto his Omnitrix, kicking around for the duration of Omniverse’s final season. Skurd allowed Ben to morph portions of one alien’s body into parts of another alien to have more versatility in combat, and in return he got to uh… taste the Omnitrix’s DNA.
