Gwendolyn Tennyson is the deuteragonist of the Ben 10 franchise. She is a Human-Anodite Hybrid and Ben Tennyson's cousin.

Background[]

While her cousin Ben was off "going hero" with the use of the Omnitrix, Gwen was forced to sit on the sidelines and act as support for Ben. That was until she discovered she had an affinity towards magic and soon developed these abilities to gain a more active role in dealing with criminals.

Powers and Abilities[]

Mana Manipulation: Gwen's magical powers are of alien descent from her grandmother Verdona, a member of a free-spirited alien race of pure energy beings known as Anodites, from the planet Anodyne. Though she technically did not inherit these powers, she shares a "knack" for mana manipulation, referred to by Verdona as "The Spark". This is possibly because Verdona manipulated mana in her human form. Gwen's powers are enhanced when she is given an excess of mana, such as in Legerdomain.

Skill[]

Before she even started using magic, Gwen (at 11 years old) was able to wield the Staff of Ages which can only be wielded by a master magician. In comparison, Charmcaster who was five years older than Gwen and had been learning magic for a longer amount of time was unable to wield the staff.

Weaknesses[]

Naive & Arrogence:: Although her intelligence and knowledge have only increased since her youth, Gwen is not completely free of her naivete, and at times can be arrogant. Gwen can occasionally be too trusting with people who want to exploit her good will, leading her or others into harm's way. For example, after P'andor was released from his containment suit, she believed he would stop absorbing energy if he were taken back home. When she told him she had contacted the Plumbers to do so, he attacked her.
Phobias:
- Arachnophobia: Gwen has arachnophobia, the fear of spiders.
- Claustrophobia: She also has claustrophobia, the fear of tight spaces.
Vulnerabilities:
- Possession: Gwen is vulnerable to being possessed by an Ectonurite.
- Hypnosis: Gwen is vulnerable to hypnosis.
- Quills: Gwen is vulnerable to quills, such as those generated by Argit's species.
- Strong Wings: Gwen is vulnerable to strong winds.
- Mind Control: Unless she is wearing a protective metal helmet, Gwen is vulnerable to the mind-controlling abilities of Dagon and the Lucubra.
Immobilizations:
- Gwen can be immobilized by ice, as shown when she was frozen by the DNAlien Freeze Guns and in the Perplexahedron's frozen room.
- Gwen can be trapped in an Arachnichimp's webbing.
- Gwen can be immobilized by Addwaitya's crystallizing attacks.
Gwen's raw mana attacks are useless and ineffective against certain species such as Geochelone Aerios and Rock Monsters, though the latter was only an issue in In Charm's Way.
Gwen's mana constructs can be tampered with by more powerful Anodites, as shown when Verdona turned Sunny's shield into a bubble to trap her.
Power Nullification: Most of Gwen's Anodite powers can be neutralized by mana disruption grenades, power dampening headbands, bracelets used by a member of the Synthroid race (as demonstrated with Verdona), and cuffs from Inspector 13's Techadon factory.
Gwen can struggle to determine someone's location in an area riddled with technology. She also cannot track Ectonurites, as they have no mana.
Energy Draining: Gwen can be drained of her energy to the point of either being rendered powerless or death, as nearly demonstrated with Verdona. This can be done by trapping her in runes at midnight and exposing her to moonlight, or placing her in a machine used by the Synthroid race.
Anodite Form Flaws:
- Up until Omniverse, Gwen could not transform into her Anodite form without risking losing her humanity.
Exhausting Spells: Certain intense spells, such as teleportation spells, exhaust Gwen to the point of having to rest and recover, and can even make her faint if she is too physically weak. The distance between her and the location she is teleporting to is a factor to this weakness. Similarly, her spells won't work correctly if she is wearing a hazmat suit.
Pacifism: Overall, while Gwen is immensely powerful, she almost always holds back in battle to avoid injuring her opponents to where they can gain the advantage and potentially injure her instead. She is also weaker than her other Anodite relatives.
