Ben Tennyson (Dimension 23)

Ben Tennyson is the alternate version of Ben Tennyson and a hero, and former mogul, in Dimension 23 who first appeared in Dimension 23.

Appearance
Ben 23 chooses to reflect his amount of money by wearing lots of gold and accessories, he wears a black waist coat with blue pockets over his white shirt (revealing his short sleeves), a blue tie, earrings, blue pants and a medallion in the shape of the Omnitrix. He has the Omnitrix on his left wrist and a blue bracelet on his right wrist, he also has a gold ring on the index finger of his right hand. Unlike Ben Prime and Ben 14, Ben 23 has blue eyes instead of green and his hair is longer, covering his left eye. He also wears a Bluetooth on his right ear, which he uses to talk to his agent or the PLUMBERS, and carries around a smartphone for texting.

In the flashback, 10-year-old Ben 23 looks just like the other Bens at age 10-11 but has blue eyes and his shirt has blue coloring instead of white.

Personality
In a sense, Ben 23 is the same as Ben prime was at 10-11, but without Grandpa Max to guide him, Ben 23 didn't learn that not all aliens were evil. To fill the void left by the passing of Max, Ben 23 immersed himself in fame and fortune.

Ben 23 has become overconfident, arrogant and reckless because he let fame go into his head. He also did not have the same sense of right and wrong and didn't want to use the Omnitrix to fight crime or help others in need. One quirk is the fact that he labels most of his aliens with unoriginal names. Like Ben Prime and Ben 14, Ben 23 announces his alien's name when transforming.

Despite having unlocked around 50 (claimed 90) aliens on his Omnitrix, Ben 23 keeps only 23 in constant use. As stated with his version of Feedback (formerly Plug Man), whenever he introduces a "new alien" to the public, he stops using one of his former ones and puts it in storage, in order to stage a comeback sometime later and stoke the demand. He even suggested to Ben 14 on the advice of his agent to form a team-up.

After meeting being tutored by his dimensional counterpart, Ben 23 begins to become much more like him; he now seeks advice from the Azmuth of his world in place of Grandpa Max, hoping to make his dimension just as harmonious as Ben 14's. He even reunited with his parents and fell in love with his former cousin, Gwen.

Ben 23 disliked smoothies and prefers gyros from a fast-food chain, which he incorporates into catchphase: "It's Gyro Time!" But he started to like them after his encounter with Ben 14.

Background
Max Tennyson died around the time when Ben received the Omnitrix, and he had to teach himself how to use it.

Without Grandpa Max, he lacks the morals of his other counterparts and, after defeating the "rogue Anodite" as Alien 23, he become a rich and famous person over the years.

Ben 23 has movie rights, endorsement deals, and uses aliens to make a lot of money. At this point in time, his greatest enemy was the Intellectury and has not yet encountered greater enemies like Vilgax.

In some point, Ben 23 had been recruited by Prof. Paradox, No Watch Ben and alternate Gwen 10 to participate the Ben Wars after they saved him from Eon.

In The Legendary Osmosian, Chrono mentions Ben 23 got stranded in Mad Ben's Dimension with Ben Prime and had to save the people of Benwood from the evil Warlord. Later in the story, Drake, in his narration, states that Ben 14 got sent into Ben 23's past and has mentor/mold Ben 23 in a perfect hero who cares for the innocent has slight interest with fame.

Ultimate Alien Force
Ben first met Ben 23 in Dimension 23, after Vengeance threw a dimensional bomb that send Ben and herself into Dimension 23 and got separated during their clashes. Ben 23 proved to be a braggart and show-off who preferred to use his alien forms for publicity instead of altruism, and even gave Ben a few of his tips for crowd-pleasing, much to Mega's dismay. Ben 23 eventually discovered that the Intellectury was his dimension's Azmuth and would have killed him if not for Ben's intervention (and almost mistook him for the "rogue Anodite"). Ben 23 admitted that due to the death of his Grandpa Max, he ended up using fame and fortune to fill the void Max had left behind. His dimension's Azmuth consoled Ben 23, acknowledging that he had suffered greatly due to Max's death and promised to guide him well.

Later, Ben 23 has reunited with his parents as the start of becoming a true hero. After many trainings and learn new tactics from Ben, Azmuth and Looma, Ben 23 went to visit Gwen, who was not very pleased to see him and reveal that she's the "rogue Anodite" Ben 23 defeated when he was 10. Ben 23 forgives Gwen for hurting her and shares their first forbidden kiss then gave her a Omnitrix as a present. They then announced her welcome after defeating their dimension's Zombozo and the Circus Freak Trio.

Vengeance attacked Ben 23 during the interview at Mr. Gyro's and she absorbed his Omnitrix's powers, transforming into Vengeance 24. Combining the teamwork between his team and Ben 14, along with the debut of Feedback, they defeated Vengeance 24 and, as their thanks, Ben 23 made a movie of their adventures and gave it to Ben as a memory.

At present, Ben 23 is attending the Galactic Enforcer Academy.

Equipment
Ben 23 possesses an Omnitrix with blue/gold color scheme (reflecting Ben Prime's green/black or green/white, and Ben 14's teal/black or yellow/black)

Ben 23's battle prowess is almost entirely self-taught, and like Ben Prime when he was younger, Ben 23 tends to fight recklessly in front of people and often has little to no strategy when fighting his enemies. Later, his prowess has improved by his trainings and was able to overpower 3 Mega by using the correct aliens.
