Item from Ben 10 by Man of Action / Cartoon Network
The most powerful technological device in the universe — a watch-like alien artifact containing the DNA of over a million species that allows its wearer to transform into alien heroes.
Azmuth built the Omnitrix as a tool of peace — a way for beings across the universe to literally become each other and understand each other from the inside. He built it with so many levels of safety and self-defense that it's functionally indestructible under normal circumstances. It also has a self-destruct mode that could destroy the universe. This was meant to be the deterrent that kept Vilgax from ever trying too hard to take it. The Omnitrix chose Ben by locking onto his DNA when he found it in a crater. That choice was accidental — it was meant for Max. Azmuth has complicated feelings about this. The Omnitrix, if it has feelings, appears satisfied with the arrangement. It malfunctions regularly — giving Ben the wrong alien, timing out at critical moments, unlocking new forms without warning. These 'malfunctions' seem occasionally deliberate. The watch is smarter than it looks.
A watch-like device on Ben's left wrist with a black and grey casing and a round green faceplate featuring a stylized hourglass symbol. The faceplate pops up when activated, revealing a dial mechanism for selecting alien forms. It glows green when active. The device is seamlessly bonded to Ben's wrist — attempts to remove it are aggressively resisted by the watch itself.
