Aaronbill3, here's how I would've done if I were to make a reboot of Ben 10. It would be a sequel to the Ben 10 OS. The OS is too great of a show to need a reboot. It's not necessary and needed. All the problems of the Ben 10 series started with Alien Force. That is the Ben 10 show that I would make a reboot of. Take what was good about Alien Force, add some new elements, and bring in a new direction for the sequel reboot. One major aspect that would happen is that the sequel reboot would be very much faithful to the OS continuity, unlike Alien Force. That means certain elements would be in the sequel reboot such as Gwen remaining as a fully human sorceress and not as a Human-Anodite hybrid as this was what Gwen was in the OS and this was what Man of Action intended to keep her as. The Plumbers would also remain as the disbanded top secret Earth organization that they were portrayed as in the OS. There would also be other aspects of the sequel reboot that would show it maintaining continuity with the OS. The sequel reboot would also be connected with the events of Ben's future as shown in the OS.

Duncan Rouleau revealed a while back that Kevin and Charmcaster had always been intended to be anti-heroes. Taking this to consideration, Kevin would be allied with Ben and Gwen but it would take much much longer for him to gain their trust. However, I would not pair Kevin and Gwen together as I find them to be very much mismatched and unsuitable to be a couple. Throughout the sequel reboot, Kevin would basically be, and possibly remain, on a tight leash. Eventually, though, Kevin would end up going back to his old ways and become a villain again as this is the type of person that Kevin really is. A thug that always wants more, not caring of the consequences that would result from it. As for Charmcaster, she would have better luck than Kevin. I guess the way that I would have Charmcaster transition to a more heroic character is for her to finally decide that she's had enough of her uncle, Hex's, treatment and abuse of her and, with the help of Ben and Gwen, would finally fight back and defeat Hex, freeing her from him. Another aspect that would also lead to this very transition is for Charmcaster to also experience and appreciate the good moments in life. There's that famous phrase by the Joker in the Batman: The Killing Joke comic/film which is "it take one bad day to make the sanest man go insane" or something like that. That would basically be vice versa for Charmcaster where experiencing one or more good days would convince her to turn her life around and for the better.

As for the main story, it would follow Man of Action's original idea and direction with their sequel to the OS, Ben 10 Hero Generation. A teenage Ben and Gwen would train and mentor a group of kids that have mysterious and alien powers and abilities. The Highbreed and DNAliens would most likely make a return as the main villain faction and be a threat to Earth much like with Alien Force. Vilgax would also have some involvement with the story as well. Either there would've been a conflict before the events of the sequel reboot where things don't end well and Vilgax dies while Ben goes into temporary retirement or Vilgax would be involved in the finale. The story would also further develop Ben and Gwen's relationship with each other. Eventually, after a series of events that would lead up to the finale, the final battle would happen and of course Ben, Gwen, and their team would be victorious but the sequel reboot won't end well for Ben and Gwen. The Highbreed would be defeated and Earth would be saved, Vilgax would be killed, Kevin becomes a villain again and gets imprisoned in the Null Void, and the events that transpired in the sequel reboot would affect Ben in such a negative way that it causes him to make his transition into Ben 10,000 and lose the fun-loving side of him and that is how that show would end.

I made this page on the Ben 10 Club website where I theorize what Man of Action's sequel to the OS, Ben 10 Hero Generation, could've most likely been like. That just further explains what my reboot to the Ben 10 series would be. If anyone's interested, here's the link.

After that sequel reboot show, I would follow that up with a Ken 10 show. It would act as a sequel to the "Ken 10" episode from the OS. The show would focus on Ken Tennyson going through a similar path that his father, Ben, went through to become a true and better hero. The show would also focus on a father-son relationship between Ben and Ken as Ben helps Ken be a better hero by acting as his mentor. This show would also act as the final show in the franchise. It would bring closure and resolution to everything that has gone on with the franchise. Everything would come to a satisfying end and then after the Ken 10 show ends, there would be no more Ben 10. No more sequels. No more reboots. No anything. End the series on a high note and leave it to that.

This would be how I would treat the Ben 10 series as. This is my take on making a Ben 10 reboot. Fix and remove the problems that were caused as a result of Cartoon Network's treatment of Ben 10 from Alien Force onwards and bring the series back on track and give it a much better and more suitable direction. Do what needs to be done, bring everything to a satisfying and rightful end, and then end the franchise on a highnote for good.
