Ben's secret identity is revealed to the entire world, and he is now a superhero loved everywhere by kids and teenagers, but distrusted by many adults. Kevin and Gwen find out who revealed Ben's secret and where he lives, and the three go to "pay him a visit". The informant turns out to be a young boy named Jimmy Jones, who has followed Ben's exploits ever since he was ten-years old. With Jimmy's help, Ben and company discover a series of alien attacks in Florida. An unknown alien steals a nuclear device from a prototype interstellar rocket. They follow the thief to his ship, which he intends to launch using the nuke. This would destroy central Florida. Once defeated, the alien, named Bivalvan, reveals he is a refugee named from the Andromeda Galaxy who was kidnapped by an alien named Aggregor. He is left restrained, with assurance that the Plumbers will be along to bring him back home. Ben reluctantly returns to school with some encouragement from Julie. The students greet him with applause, including his old bullies Cash and JT. Some time later, Bivalvan is found and recaptured by Aggregor. | ||||||

Ben needs to be in three places at once; he has to fight the Forever Knights with Kevin, go to Julie's tennis game, and see a Sumo Slammers movie.

However, each is one part of his personality: one is logical, one is sensitive, and one is immature. The sensitive Ben goes with Kevin to the museum, the immature Ben stays to watch Julie's match, and the logical Ben goes to see Sumo Slammers. Immature Ben proceeds to embarrass Julie while sensitive Ben cannot properly fight. When the Forever Knights steal a suit of powered armor, Ben calls in his other selves for assistance, only to quickly realize that none of them are good fighters alone. He recombines into one person and destroys the armor. Ben tries to apologize to Julie, which she almost accepts, until he admits he already went to see the Sumo Slammers movie when she suggests they go see it. Furious with Ben, Julie, Gwen, and Kevin storm off leaving him alone to repent for what he has done in order to gain back their trusts. | ||||||
