Ben 10 is an American animated television series created by "Man of Action" (a group consisting of Duncan Rouleau, Joe Casey, Joe Kelly, and Steven T. Seagle), and produced by Cartoon Network Studios.
The show revolves around Ben Tennyson, his cousin Gwen, and his grandfather Max. During the start of their summer camping trip, Ben is nearly hit by an alien pod that fell from space and crashed next to him. When he examines it, he finds a mysterious, watch-like device, called the Omnitrix, stored inside. The device attaches to his wrist and gives him the ability to transform into a variety of alien lifeforms, each with their own unique powers, quite similar to DC's "Dial H for Hero" comic. Although Ben realizes that he has a responsibility to help others with these new abilities at his disposal, he is not above a little superpowered mischief now and then.

I've always loved the speedsters. Flash, Max Mercury, Quicksilver, Makkari, the Runner...

XLR8
XLR8XLR8 (voiced by Jim Ward) is a Kineceleran (a portmanteau of the words 'kinetic' and 'accelerate') from the planet Kinet (the first part of kinetic, which is movement energy). Kinet is an electrically charged world, where electrical storms rapidly orbit the sun and everything is accelerated. Like their homeworld, Kinecelerans are accelerated, and live their lives just as quickly. While XLR8 resembles a semi-armored velociraptor, the base creature for the form's design, the actual species is described much differently in the Bandai profiles. The profile states that Kinecelerans are vaguely elfin in appearance, with long hair, blue skin, pointed ears, large tails, and oversized feet. XLR8, on the other hand, has wheels for feet and wears a helmet with a windshield. Ben 10,000's XLR8 also has a scanner built into the helmet, though whether or not Ben has a similar ability is unclear.
Like all Kinecelerans, XLR8 can move at speeds reaching 500 mph, and can reach such speed almost instantly. This extreme speed comes from manipulating friction, which allows XLR8 to run on almost any surface, including water or walls, with ease. The Bandai profiles also create another contrast with this ability: actual Kinecelerans are said to be incapable of running on slippery surfaces. Furthermore, because of their constant motion, Kinecelerans build up large stores of static electricity, which reacts badly with water. XLR8 has showed no such ability.
Using his speed, XLR8 can perform a number of unique feats. He can create tornadoes through centrifugal force, either through running in a small circle or spinning, and can deliver speed-enhanced attacks in rapid succession. Amazing reflexes accompany this speed, allowing XLR8 to quickly dodge attacks with relative ease. His scissor-like claws can also cut through objects.
XLR8's weakness is his lack of physical strength, which is about on par with a normal human. Magnets and charged pulses are also said to be a problem, apparently disorienting Kinecelerans to the point that they cannot balance properly, but the series has never addressed this weakness.
Ben first transformed into XLR8 in "And Then There Were 10" when he decided to play around a bit with his newfound power. He used the form to get revenge on some bullies that he fought with earlier in the episode. By the possible future seen in "Ben 10,000", XLR8 becomes Ben's most-used form; having unlocked the Omnitrix's master code, Ben reverts into XLR8 rather than his human form whenever he is not fighting.
