Eon is Benjamin Tennyson, who is permanently stuck in an Omnitrix alien form, who's personality was taken over.

Eon is the principal villain of Ben 10: Race Against Time, played by Christien Anholt. He is the first alien The Plumbers ever caught, having come to Earth nearly two centuries earlier. He seeks to use a device called the Hands of Armageddon to open a temporal rift to his home dimension, bringing forth an invasion force that can conquer the planet.

To complete his plan, Eon requires Ben, who has the Omnitrix. As he explains, the Omnitrix times out to prevent the alien DNA from overtaking the person using the Omnitrix, and by disabling that failsafe he can allow his DNA to overtake Ben, effectively being reborn. Eon does this because he has grown too old and weak to activate the Hands himself Once he does so, he retreats, because two Eons can't inhabit the same time and place. Ben as Eon then attempts to activate the Hands but is stopped by Max. Through Gwen's pleas, Ben is able to overcome Eon and return to normal while Max disables the Hands. The original Eon then attacks Ben, but is defeated when Ben becomes Wildmutt and knocks Eon into the Hands, causing both to disappear in an explosion of energy. What became of Eon is unknown.

Eon possesses vast time-manipulation powers. He can stop time relative to himself or others, age objects rapidly through directed energy blasts, and throw people with great force by rewinding time and releasing it suddenly. He also says he can travel through time but doing so badly weakens his body. He is also able to disrupt the Omnitrix, which contains his DNA.

Christien Anholt, in a behind-the-scenes video hosted on Cartoon Network's video service, says that parts of the character are inspired by Darth Vader, whom Anholt is a fan of.
