Benjamin Lee Tennyson

Benjamin Lee Tennyson, also known as The Prime Nomad, or simply Prime, is a main character in Tales From The Omniverse, debuting in the very first arc. He is a human and an alternate version of Ben Prime, the difference being that he was stranded on Primus upon receiving the Omnitrix.

Appearance
The Prime Nomad is a 5’7 caucasian male with scruffy, unkempt, brown hair and one singular eye. In Arc 1, he wears a beaten up Queen Voliticus Biopsis helmet, and a long, black and green poncho with the skull of an evolved Arachnachimp on his shoulder. Prime is also shown to wear bits of armor around his body, with the Omnitrix is on his left hand.

In Arc 2, Prime is physically upgraded using Nanite technology, destroying most of his original outfit. He now wears a short blue jacket, with shorter hair and a Nanite-created ask. Underneath his jacket, he wears a Nanite suit that extends down to his feet where he wears combat boots.

In Arc 3, Prime's outfit stays the same, but now has shorter hair and his poncho. After being sent to the past, Prime keeps his poncho and puts on multiple cloaks and a jester's mask.

Personality
Due to his life on the dangerous planet of Primus, Ben has become brash and aggressive. He tends to lash out when under stress, but attempts to conceal his anger most of the time. As he is driven by his emotions, causing him to make rash decisions.

History
After the destruction of the Incursean planet with the mighty weapon known as Ascalon, the First Thinker Azmuth began work on the Omnimatrix. During this time, he had employed a young Chimera Sui Genesis named Myaxx. Myaxx learned everything she could about the Omnitrix and helped build it, before leaving Azmuth after learning of her planets current state. Azmuth then went into exile in the Null Void after his student, Albedo, had told the high Galvan council of Azmuth's crimes against technology. While Azmuth was in exile, Albedo had stolen the Omnitrix and began to work on it. After finishing it, he sent it off-world to prevent reaching the same fate he brought upon his teacher. Due to Albedo's inferior intellect, the Omnitrix had was not “complete” by Azmuth's Standards. The Omnitrix wandered through space for 5 years before coming into the Earth's atmosphere, crashing into Bellwood Forest.

Benjamin Lee Tennyson had been skipping school. Ben has ditched school occasionally, but this time was his last. When the watch landed in the forest, Ben heard the crash. He ran to the crash site and found the Omnitrix, a perfect sphere with green lights and a dial. Ben reached out for the device as it jumped at him, turning his grandfather's pocket watch into an alien device. Ben had fallen unconscious due to the shock of the Omnitrix. The device then activated a recall Azmuth planned in case it had fallen in the wrong hands. Where Ben awoke, he didn’t know, but it definitely wasn’t Bellwood. Ben awoke on an alien planet, which was where Ben stayed until the link had activated. Ben became a bounty hunter and a criminal. Once the link activated, he experienced the same thing that happened to him when he was 10, but when he awoke he was finally back on Earth. However, it wasn’t his Earth.

Abilities

 * Hand-to-hand combat - Ben has been trained in hand-to-hand combat by both Bori, A mutant Sottoraggian, and Tetrax, a Petrosapien Bounty Hunter, along with fighting multiple aliens during his time on Primus. He has proved to be quite skilled in basic hand-to-hand combat as well-armed and unarmed combat, being able to easily dodge shots from The Resistance during Arc 1. The Prime Nomad was able to hold his own against The Rogue, a crazed alternate version of himself and a proficient killer.

The Omnitrix
Prime is the wielder of the Omnitrix, which gave him the power to modify his own genetic code in order to turn into various alien creatures. Originally, he could only transform into ten aliens when he first got the Omnitrix, but he later gains additional forms by either unlocking them or by scanning the DNA of aliens he meets.

When transforming into an alien, Prime gets all the creature's features, including its appearance, voice, all of its unique and special abilities and powers, strengths, and weaknesses. Though he mostly retains his personality, there are some cases where the transformation causes a change in it, such as NewTon, and The Ego, which are his Antigravitesla and Grey Matter respectively.

The Omnitrix also has a failsafe to help prevent Ben from dying. If Ben is in mortal danger and the Omnitrix is in recharge mode, it will automatically go into an active mode. Eon managed to disable this when he had altered Prime’s Body.

Weaknesses

 * Unfamiliarity with Omnitrix - Despite his experience in using the Omnitrx, Prime Nomad still does not know every function of it. Due to his inquisitive nature and impatience, he has accidentally unlocked new functions such as the Master Control, which can at times do more harm than good.
 * Fears and allergies - Ben has an allergy to peanuts and has coulrophobia, the fear of clowns. Ben's worst fear is that of peacocks.
 * Twitching eye - Ben's left eye twitches whenever he tells a lie, but his left eye was destroyed some time during his time with Tetrax.
 * Short attention span - Ben appears to have a short attention span at times, and more often than not it can get him into trouble.
