Ben 10

Grandpa Max

A celebrated galactic hero, pilot and contender to be the first man on the moon, and one of the most famous humans to exist prior to the events of the series - Max Tennyson lived out of a rusty ol’ mobile home travelling the country. Having retired (or at least, was trying to) from a long life of action and adventure, Max lived undercover as one of the few remaining members of the Earth plumbers, keeping to himself until when on one fateful day his grandson would stumble on an alien device that fell from the sky. It’d turn out to be quite the eventful roadtrip - with various extraterrestrial encounters, battles of the arcane, and even simple crime-solving heroism. After revealing his history as a Plumber to his grandkids he’d take a more active role helping them, even bringing out his old Plumber tech to help when the going got tough.
