Bellwood (2014 TV Series)

Bellwood is a live-action American drama Television Series, that debuted in November 2014 on the CW Television Network. The series follows young Ben Tennyson in the supernatural town of Bellwood. The show was composed by Mark Snow and the theme song "Save Me", by Remy Zero. The Hit CW TV Series Smallville is a big influence on the main plot of the whole series.

Overview
Bellwood is based on the popular Cartoonnetwork TV Series, Ben 10. The series follows the adventures of thirteen year old Ben Tennyson, who has gained the abilities of ten species of aliens (instead of gaining a watch to transform into aliens), living in his supernatural hometown of Bellwood. The series shows Ben as he grows and matures, while exploring the extraterrestrial origin of his alien powers and the secrets of Bellwood.

The series often deals with the people in Ben's life: mostly his cousin, Gwen, and Grandpa Max; along with his parents, Sandra and Carl; his bestfriend, Eli; his complicated romances with Emily Carter and Kai Green; and his enemy to ally to bestfriend relationship with Kevin Levin.

Omnirock is a mineral that can weaken Ben and to use as a reoccurring plot device throughout the series, as Kryptonite was for Smallville. The mineral is shown to have bizarre effects on humans, that Ben must often encounter these omni-mutants, with bizarre powers, but still facing iconic Ben 10 supervillains, such as Vilgax, Zs'Skayr, and Dr. Animo. The Omni-Rock physically weakens Ben by somewhat poisoning the alien DNA in his bloodstream, that can possibly kill him if exposed too long. I wanted a mineral that can weaken him, so even though he can use the abilities of multiple aliens at once, he can be hurt and is not physically invincible, around Omni-Rock.

The Null Void has also been a side plot device for season 6 and 8-10. The Null Voice is a prison-like dimension, for intergalactic criminals. The group has been sent there numerous times. In the Season 5 Finale, as Ben escaped the Null Void, so did it's most dangerous prisoners, known as Voiders, and throughout season 6, Ben has to recapture these criminals, leading to Albedo becoming Negative Ben.
