SUPER-COOL, MUSCLE-CAR-DRIVING, ULTIMATE BAD BOY KEVIN LEVIN
LIKES GIRLY MOVIES.
- Kevin: YOU TELLING ME JENNIFER NOCTURNE COMES TO TOWN
AND YOU'RE NOT EVEN CURIOUS?
- Ben: ONE BLOOD-SUCKING SOAP OPERA AND HIS LITTLE HEART GOES
PITTY-PAT.
- Gwen: [ CHUCKLES ] - Kevin: AND WHO WAS SITTING
RIGHT NEXT TO ME THROUGH THAT BLOOD-SUCKING SOAP OPERA AND TWO
SEQUELS?
- Gwen: VAMPIRES ARE ROMANTIC.
- Kevin: AND HOT.
OW!
- Gwen: YOU WERE SAYING?
- Kevin: I ADMIRE HER CRAFT AS AN ACTRESS.
- SHE'S HERE!
[ ALL CHEERING ] [ CAMERA SHUTTERS CLICKING ]
- THANK YOU.
THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING.
AAH!
[ GUNS COCKING ]
- Ben: COOL.
- Gwen: COOL?
WE'VE GOT TO HELP HER.
- Ben: OH, COME ON.
YOU DON'T BELIEVE THIS IS REAL.
IT'S OBVIOUSLY A PUBLICITY STUNT.
- LISTEN UP.
WE WANT $10 MILLION IN ONE HOUR, OR IT'S VAMPIRE NIGHTY-NIGHT FOR
JENNIFER NOCTURNE.
- Ben: MAN. AWFUL DIALOGUE.
- AND IF WE SEE ANY COPS...
- Captain Nemesis: IT'S TIME.
READY MY ARMOR.
[ AIR GUN WHIRRING ]
- Gwen: STILL THINK IT'S A STUNT?
- Ben: I'VE BEEN WRONG BEFORE.
- Spidermonkey: SPIDERMONKEY!
[ METAL CREAKING ]
- [ GRUNTING ]
- Spidermonkey: SO...
HOW ARE WE GOING TO DO THIS?
- NOBODY SAID ANYTHING ABOUT BLUE MONKEYS.
I'M OUT OF HERE!
- CAPTAIN NEMESIS!
- Captain Nemesis: YOU'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE.
- Ben: CAPTAIN NEMESIS.
I'M YOUR BIGGEST FAN!
- NO, I'M YOUR BIGGEST FAN, BEN TENNYSON.

- Gwen: CAN YOU JUST PICK A CHANNEL AND STAY ON IT?
- Kevin: THERE'S NOTHING ON ANYWAY, EXCEPT NEWS ABOUT
"BENNIFER."
- Gwen: THEY ARE NOT CALLING THEM THAT.
[ DOOR OPENS ]
- Ben: WE'RE JUST FRIENDS.
- Kevin: NOT.
- Julie: IF I BELIEVE HIM, WHY CAN'T YOU?
- Gwen: YOU BELIEVE HIM?
- Julie: HE'S GOT A BIGGER CRUSH ON CAPTAIN NEMESIS THAN HE
DOES ON JENNIFER NOCTURNE.
ISN'T THAT RIGHT, BEN?
- Ben: HUH?
OH, IT'S NOT A CRUSH.
I JUST RESPECT HIM.
I MEAN, HE'S THE BEST OF THE BEST OF THE BEST!
- Gwen: LOOKS LIKE YOU AND HARANGUE FINALLY AGREE ON
SOMETHING.
- Harangue: CAPTAIN NEMESIS IS A REAL AMERICAN HERO.
ONLY A PINHEAD WOULD COMPARE DECADES OF SELF-SACRIFICE AND
COURAGE TO THE CHILDISH, DESTRUCTIVE ANTICS OF "ILLEGAL
ALIEN" BEN TENNYSON.
- Julie: I WISH THEY WOULDN'T SHOW THAT PICTURE ALL THE TIME.
- Ben: SHE KISSED ME.
I DIDN'T EVEN ENJOY IT.
- Julie: HMPH.
- Harangue: THE TABLOIDS ARE CALLING IT THE ROMANCE OF THE
CENTURY.
WHEN EVEN AMERICA'S SWEETHEART HAS BEEN TAKEN IN BY THIS
ADOLESCENT MENACE, IT'S TIME FOR ACTION, AND --
- Ben: WE JUST WENT TO DINNER.
SHE WAS THANKING ME FOR SAVING HER LIFE.
- Julie: UH-HUH.
AND THOSE PICTURES OF THE TWO OF YOU IN HER HOT TUB?
- Ben: THAT WAS FUN.
GREAT VIEW.
YOU KNOW, IF YOU SQUINT JUST RIGHT, THE EIFFEL TOWER KIND OF
LINES UP WITH THE ARC DE TRIOMPHE.
- Julie: I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANY MORE OF THIS.
- Kevin: I DO.
OW!
- Ben: JENNIFER'S PUBLICIST SAYS BEING SEEN TOGETHER IS GOOD
FOR BOTH OF US.
CROSS POLLINATION -- - Kevin: [ LAUGHING ]
- Ben: OF OUR CAREERS.
THAT'S WHY I'M GOING WITH HER TO CAPTAIN NEMESIS' PARTY TONIGHT.
- Kevin: SENDING HER GOLDEN LIMO?
- Ben: THAT'S JUST FOR SHOW.
SHE'S DOWN TO EARTH.
NOT REALLY THE LIMO TYPE.
[ HELICOPTER BLADES WHIRRING ]

- BEN! YOU LOOK WONDERFUL.
AND THESE ARE YOUR FRIENDS?
- Kevin: WHAT'S UP?
KEVIN.
- OH, OF COURSE YOU ARE.
OH, THAT DRESS IS SO CUTE.

- DON'T BE RIDICULOUS.
WANT TO MEET CAPTAIN NEMESIS?

- Captain Nemesis: JENNIFER NOCTURNE.
LOVELY TO SEE YOU AGAIN.
I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE BRINGING A GUEST.
"TIM BENNISON," ISN'T IT?
- Ben: TENNYSON. BEN TENNYSON, SIR.
- Captain Nemesis: OF COURSE.
[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]
- Ben: HI.
[ ORCHESTRAL MUSIC PLAYS ]
- Ben: YOU'RE A LIVING LEGEND.
- Captain Nemesis: YES, AND IF YOU LIVE LONG ENOUGH, THEY'LL
SAY THAT ABOUT YOU, TOO, "BENETTON."
- Ben: TENNYSON.
- Captain Nemesis: IF YOU LIVE LONG ENOUGH.
- ISN'T HE CUTE?
WE'RE STILL CASTING FOR "VAMPIRE SUMMER IV."
WOULDN'T HE MAKE A GREAT DRAKE ULA?
- HOW MANY ALIENS HAVE YOU FOUGHT?
- Ben: WELL -- - Captain Nemesis: ALIENS?
I EVER TELL YOU ABOUT THE TIME I WENT UP AGAINST COMPUTRON AND
HIS ROBOTS FROM DIMENSION 12?
THAT WAS A REAL FIGHT.
- Ben: I READ ABOUT THAT IN YOUR BOOK.
- Captain Nemesis: EVERYBODY DID, SON.
[ KEYS CLACKING ]
- Gwen:WHERE DO COMMON CRIMINALS GET THIS KIND OF FIREPOWER?
- Kevin: I DON'T KNOW.
THEY STEAL THEM?
- Gwen: COME ON. HELP ME.
YOU'RE THE EXPERT.
WHERE WOULD I GET STUFF LIKE THIS?
- Kevin: IT'S NOT ALIEN TECH, BUT I COULD MAKE SOME CALLS.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
- Captain Nemesis: SIMONS!
- YES, SIR.
- Captain Nemesis: RESCUING JENNIFER NOCTURNE WAS SUPPOSED
TO PUT ME BACK ON THE FRONT PAGE.
"GET THE YOUTH MARKET," YOU SAID.
"TRUST ME," YOU SAID!
I DID, AND NOW I'M A LAUGHINGSTOCK!
- NO ONE'S LAUGHING AT YOU, SIR.
- Captain Nemesis: DID YOU HEAR THEM AT THE PARTY?
IT WAS "BEN THIS," "10 THAT"!
IT'S LIKE I DON'T EXIST.
- HE'S JUST A FAD, SIR.
SOMETHING WILL COME UP EVENTUALLY, AND YOU'LL BE RIGHT
BACK ON TOP.
- Captain Nemesis: I DON'T WANT EVENTUALLY.
I WANT IT NOW.
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
- Harangue: SIMONS.
ARE WE GOOD?
- MY CLIENT IS OFFERING EXCLUSIVE FOOTAGE AND AN
EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW AFTERWARDS, MR. HARANGUE.
BUT WE WANT A GUARANTEE OF FAVORABLE COVERAGE.
- Harangue: REASONABLE MEN CAN ALWAYS FIND AN ACCOMMODATION.
[ELECTRICITY CRACKLES]
- I AM COMPUTRON.
- LET'S GET OUT OF HERE!
[ INDISTINCT SHOUTING ]
- AND I CLAIM THIS WORLD AS MY OWN.
- DESTROY ALL FLESH AND THE WORKS OF FLESH.
- I DON'T BELIEVE IT!
IT'S CAPTAIN NEMESIS!
- Captain Nemesis: I'VE WARNED YOU METAL MENACES BEFORE --
EARTH IS OFF-LIMITS.
- Harangue: BEAUTIFUL.
DID YOU GET THAT?
- YEAH. BUT SO DID THEY.
- Harangue: WE WERE PROMISED AN EXCLUSIVE.
- IT'S GOING OUT LIVE, SIR.
ALREADY ON THE AIR.
- Jetray: YEAH!
JETRAY'S NEUROBLASTS AREN'T WORKING.
TIME TO TRY SOMETHING NEW!
[ BEEP ] - Armodrillo: ARMODRILLO!
NEED A HAND, CAPTAIN?
- Captain Nemesis: I WAS HANDLING WORSE THAN THIS
BEFORE YOU WERE BORN, SON.
- YOU KNOCKED...MY...BLOCK OFF.
- BEN! BEN, OVER HERE!
ARE YOU CAPTAIN NEMESIS' NEW SIDEKICK?
- Ben: I TOOK OUT 10 OF THESE THINGS AND HE ONLY BEAT ONE.
MAYBE HE SHOULD BE MY SIDEKICK.
- Harangue: CAPTAIN NEMESIS, WILL HARANGUE FROM
"THE WILL HARANGUE NATION."
BEN TENNYSON JUST SAID YOU WERE OVER THE HILL AND
UNABLE TO DO YOUR JOB.
- Ben: I DIDN'T SAY -- - Harangue: WHAT DO YOU THINK
OF THIS SUPER-POWERED JUVENILE DELINQUENT AND HIS LACK OF
RESPECT FOR AMERICAN ICONS LIKE YOURSELF?
- Captain Nemesis: HE'S NOT A DELINQUENT, WILL.
HE'S JUST MISGUIDED.
IT'S THE RESPONSIBILITY OF ALL OF US TO GUIDE OUR YOUTH INTO
MAKING BETTER DECISIONS.
FOR INSTANCE, SINCE YOU FEEL SO COMPETITIVE WITH ME, HOW ABOUT
WE CHANNEL THAT WHERE IT CAN DO SOME GOOD?
- Ben: I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
I PROPOSE A FRIENDLY COMPETITION --
A CONTEST OF HEROES.
ALL PROCEEDS TO CHARITY, OF COURSE.
- Ben: I'M SORRY. WHAT?
- Kevin: HOW COULD YOU LET THAT DINOSAUR TRICK YOU LIKE THAT?
- Ben: IT'S FOR CHARITY.
- Kevin: THE "MAKE CAPTAIN NEMESIS LOOK GOOD AT
BEN TENNYSON'S EXPENSE" FOUNDATION?
- Ben: HE KIDS AROUND A LOT, BUT CAPTAIN NEMESIS IS LIKE THE
COOLEST GUY IN THE UNIVERSE.
- Julie: ARE YOU GONNA TELL HIM WHAT YOU FOUND OUT?
- Gwen: REMEMBER THE KIDNAPPERS?
THEIR GUNS WERE MANUFACTURED BY ONE OF CAPTAIN NEMESIS'
COMPANIES.
- Ben: AH, HE OWNS ALL KINDS OF STUFF.
JUST A COINCIDENCE.
- Kevin: THAT DOESN'T EXPLAIN WHY HE'S PAYING FOR THEIR
LAWYERS.
- Julie: IT'S SOME KIND OF TRAP, BEN.
- Ben: YOU GUYS DON'T HAVE TO COME IF YOU DON'T WANT TO.
NO SKIN OFF OF ME.
- Harangue: AMERICA, YOU'RE WATCHING A
"WILL HARANGUE NATION" SPECIAL EDITION.
LET'S GO DIRECTLY TO MY GUEST CORRESPONDENT JENNIFER NOCTURNE.
- THANKS, WILL.
NORMALLY, THIS TRAIN YARD IS THE LAST STOP FOR RUSTED-OUT HULKS.
[ CLICKING ] UH, TODAY, IT'S THE SITE OF THE
GREATEST COMPETITION IN MODERN HISTORY, BETWEEN CAPTAIN NEMESIS
AND BEN TENNYSON.
IT'S OLD SCHOOL VERSUS THE NEW HOTNESS IN A DUEL TO SEE WHO
RULES.
OUR FIRST EVENT -- THROWING TRAIN ENGINES FOR DISTANCE.
- Captain Nemesis: [ GRUNTS ]
[ CROWD CHEERING ]
- Humongousaur: HUMONGOUSAUR!
YAAH!
[ CROWD CHEERING ]
- WOW! THAT'S AN EASY WIN FOR BEN TENNYSON.
- Harangue: MAYBE SO, JENNIFER, BUT THE NEXT EVENT IS ABOUT
SPEED, NOT STRENGTH.
[ RATCHETING ]
YOU DON'T HAVE A CHANCE THIS TIME, "TIANANMEN."
- Ben: I THINK JETRAY'S FASTER THAN ANYBODY.
- Rath: JETRAY!
OH, MAN.
I MEAN RATH!
LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, ULTIMATRIX!
RATH IS SICK OF YOU NOT WORKING RIGHT!
IT'S NOT EVEN FUNNY ANYMORE.
[ STARTER PISTOL FIRES ] HEY! YOU'RE CHEATING!
NOBODY...
BEATS...
RATH!
- Captain Nemesis: EAT MY EXHAUST.
- Rath: AAH!
[ CROWD CHEERING ]
- HOW DOES IT FEEL TO EVEN UP THE SCORE?
- Captain Nemesis: WELL, JENNIFER, THIS IS ALL IN GOOD
FUN.
BUT THE BETTER MAN DID WIN THE RACE.
- Rath: AAH!
LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, CAPTAIN NEMESIS!
NOBODY SHOOTS RATH IN THE FACE WITH A ROCKET WITHOUT GETTING A
MAJOR BEATING!
- Captain Nemesis: AAH!
- BEN, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!
[ BEEPS ] - Ben: OH. SORRY.
RATH JUST GETS CARRIED AWAY SOMETIMES.
- Harangue: DESPITE BEN TENNYSON'S POOR
SPORTSMANSHIP, WE HAVE A TIE, SO WE'RE GOING TO A TIE-BREAKER.
- THE EVENT IS SIMPLE.
THESE TWO GREAT HEROES...
- Harangue: ONE GREAT HERO, AND A SORE LOSER.
- ...WILL TEST THEIR STRENGTH IN A TUG-OF-WAR USING 30 FEET OF
UNBREAKABLE CARBON-NANOFIBER CABLE AND THIS FILTHY PIT
FULL OF MUD.
- Harangue: FOR THE LOSER'S SAKE, I HOPE IT'S MUD.
- [ CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY ] IT'S A TUG-OF-WAR FOR ALL THE
MARBLES.
[ BEEPS ] - Four Arms: FOUR ARMS!
- Captain Nemesis: CAPTAIN NEMESIS!
- Four Arms: WHY ARE YOU SHOUTING YOUR NAME OUT?
IT'S STUPID!
- Captain Nemesis: MY NAME ISN'T "STUPID."
ALTHOUGH, I HAVE BEEN THINKING OF DROPPING THE "CAPTAIN" PART.
IT DOESN'T REALLY DESCRIBE ME ACCURATELY ANYMORE.
[ STARTER PISTOL FIRES ] [ BOTH GRUNTING ]
[ BUZZING ] WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY FOR
YOURSELF NOW?
- Four Arms: I THOUGHT I COULD BEAT YOU WITH TWO HANDS BEHIND
MY BACK, BUT I GUESS I WAS WRONG!
[ GRUNTS ] - Captain Nemesis: HUNH!
- AND IT'S ALL OVER!
BEN 10 IS THE WINNER!
[ CROWD CHEERING ] - Four Arms: YOU PUT UP A GREAT
FIGHT.
BUT, HEY, I WOULDN'T WANT TO TAKE ME ON, EITHER.
- Harangue: I CAN'T SAY FOR CERTAIN THAT BEN TENNYSON
CHEATED.
THAT'S UP TO YOU, THE VIEWER.
BUT I CAN SAY THIS.
WE'VE WITNESSED THE FALL OF A GREAT AMERICAN ICON.
- Captain Nemesis: CAN YOU DO IT?
- TECHNICALLY, YES.
IF WE REMOVE THE SUIT'S INHIBITORS, WE CAN GET AN
ADDITIONAL 300% OUTPUT, BUT --
- Captain Nemesis: I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT THE DANGER!
IF I'M GOING TO MAKE TENNYSON PAY, I NEED MORE POWER.
- THIS IS A MISTAKE.
- Captain Nemesis: I LOST.
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE, I LOST.
- DON'T STEP OVER THE LINE.
IT'S NOT WORTH IT.
- Captain Nemesis: I ALREADY STEPPED OVER IT WHEN I FREED
COMPUTRON AND HIS ROBOTS FROM DIMENSION 12 JUST SO I COULD
SAVE PEOPLE FROM THEM.
- WORKING WITH YOU HAS BEEN THE GREATEST HONOR OF MY LIFE.
IT'S NOT TOO LATE TO TURN THIS AROUND AND --
- Captain Nemesis: GET OUT!
AMP UP THE SUIT.
[ BEEPING ] - Julie: UNH!
ALL RIGHT, JENNIFER NOCTURNE.
TAKE THIS!
HUNH!
AND THIS!
UNH!
AND THIS!
UNH!
- Captain Nemesis: JULIE YAMAMOTO?
[ CRACKING ] GOOD.
FIGHT BACK.
I LIKE THAT.
- OF COURSE YOU THINK I DID A GREAT JOB.
THAT'S WHY YOU GET 10%.
I WAS WONDERING IF I SHOULDN'T TRY THAT AGAIN.
ANNOUNCING, I MEAN.
[ RUMBLING ]
- [ GRUNTING ]
- Ben: CALL JULIE YAMAMOTO.
- CONNECTING.
[ TELEPHONE RINGS ] - Ben: HEY, JULIE, I WAS
WONDERING IF YOU WANTED TO GO TO MR. SM--
- Captain nemesis: Julie can't come to the phone right now.
I've got her.
If you want her back, come get me.
[ DISCONNECTS ] [ TIRES SCREECHING ]
[ CAR DOOR OPENS, CLOSES ]
- Captain Nemesis: [ CLAPPING ] VERY, VERY GOOD.
EVERYTHING WE'VE COME TO EXPECT FROM "TEN BENNYSON."
OHH! AAH!
HUNH!
- Ultimate Humongousaur: WHERE'S JULIE?
- Captain Nemesis: RIGHT UP THERE.
AND SO IS JENNIFER.
THE MOVIE-STAR GIRLFRIEND AND
THE FAITHFUL HOMETOWN SWEETHEART.
I'M SURE THERE'S TIME TO SAVE ONE OF THEM.
- Julie: BE CAREFUL, BEN!
- HELP ME, BEN!
[ BOTH SCREAMING ] [ BEEPS ]
- Goop: GOOP!
[ BOTH SCREAMING ] - Julie: YOU SAVED ME.
- Goop: OF COURSE I DID.
YOU'RE MY GIRL.
- Julie: WHAT ABOUT JENNIFER?
- Goop: COVERED.
- OH...MY.
- Goop: I'VE GOT SOMETHING NEMESIS DOESN'T -- FRIENDS.
- Captain Nemesis: NOT FOR LONG!
- Gwen: [ GRUNTING ]
- Kevin: WHAT'S UP WITH HIM?
HE'S HOT.
I FELT IT THROUGH MY ARMOR.
- Captain Nemesis: THAT'S NOT HEAT YOU FEEL, WHELP!
IT'S POWER!
- Gwen: HE FEELS LIKE A FURNACE.
- Goop: MAYBE YOU NEED AN OIL CHANGE.
WHAT DO YOU SAY YOU SHUT THAT THING OFF AND WE CAN TALK ABOUT
ALL THIS?
- Captain Nemesis: OH, NOW YOU'RE MY FRIEND?
I CAN'T BELIEVE I WASTED MY WHOLE LIFE TRYING TO PROTECT
PEOPLE LIKE YOU!
CAPTAIN NEMESIS IS DEAD!
FROM NOW ON, CALL ME...
OVERLORD!
- Goop: HOW ABOUT WE CALL YOU A GOOD THERAPIST?
- Gwen: EVERY TIME HE USES THAT THING, IT GETS HOTTER.
- Kevin: IT'S A MATTER OF TIME.
IT'S GONNA BLOW.
- Goop: NOT IF I CAN HELP IT.
- Water Hazard: WATER HAZARD!
I WAS GOING FOR BIG CHILL, BUT I STILL THINK I CAN COOL YOU OFF.
FIRST, SOME NICE COLD WATER.
[ SIZZLING ] THEN I'LL ABSORB THE MOISTURE
FROM THE AIR.
- Captain Nemesis: YOU WON'T BEAT ME!
I CAN STILL PROVE TO EVERYONE THAT I AM THE HERO!
- Water Hazard: JUST BE QUIET!
- Ben: HOW COULD YOU DO THIS?
YOU USED TO BE A HERO!
I HAD YOUR POSTER ON MY WALL.
DID YOU FORGET?
THIS ISN'T ABOUT FAME.
IT'S ABOUT HELPING PEOPLE!
- Julie: YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT HIM, RIGHT?
- Gwen: EASY, BEN.
IT'S ALL OVER.
- Captain Nemesis: [ MOANS ] - I DON'T KNOW HOW TO THANK
YOU, KEVIN.
YOU SAVED MY LIFE.
HAVE YOU EVER CONSIDERED -- - Gwen: I WILL PEEL YOU LIKE A
GRAPE.
[ INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER ]
- Harangue: WHEN YOU GAZE INTO THE ABYSS,
THE ABYSS GAZES ALSO INTO YOU.
WHILE SEEKING TO PROTECT US FROM A MONSTER, A GOOD MAN
DID MONSTROUS THINGS.
ANOTHER LIFE DESTROYED BY THE MENACE THAT IS BEN TENNYSON.
