Item from Ben 10 by Man of Action / Cartoon Network
The badge of the intergalactic Plumbers organization — a communication device, ID system, and alien technology scanner disguised as a small metallic insignia.
The Plumber badge is the visible marker of membership in the most significant law enforcement organization in the known universe, which is also an organization most people on Earth have never heard of. Beyond its symbolic function, it's a functional piece of alien technology: communication device that reaches across interstellar distances, a scanner that can identify alien species and technology, and an emergency beacon that will, eventually, reach someone who can help. Max's badge opens doors — literally, across multiple star systems — that Ben's clearance doesn't reach yet. Ben wears his badge with a casualness that deeply bothers formal Plumbers. He considers it less important than the Omnitrix. He's wrong about that, and right about it at the same time.
A small metallic badge that resembles a stylized 'P' with geometric reinforcements. The material is alien in origin — slightly heavier than it looks, with faint circuitry visible at certain angles. Max's version is worn and scratched from decades of field use. Ben's version was given to him without ceremony once Max accepted the situation couldn't be otherwise.
