Ben 10 / Generator Rex: Heroes United (Crossover Special)
“Heroes United” is a high-stakes, action-packed crossover that brought together two of Cartoon Network’s greatest heroes: Ben Tennyson and Rex Salazar. Airing on November 25, 2011, it’s the first and only crossover between the Ben 10: Ultimate Alien and Generator Rex franchises, delivering an epic multiverse battle that thrilled fans of both series.
Episode Summary
The crossover begins in Rex’s world, where a mysterious rift opens and an unknown alien entity — the powerful Alpha Nanite — invades. As Rex battles it, another rift opens... and out steps Ben Tennyson, in full Ultimate Alien form. At first mistaking Ben for a threat, Rex and Ben clash in an incredible fight, showcasing Heatblast, Humungousaur, Diamondhead, and more.
Eventually, the two realize they’re on the same side. They team up to stop the Alpha Nanite, who’s absorbing nanites and evolving into a nearly unstoppable monster. Ben’s transformations and Rex’s nanite-based technology combine in a high-octane battle that pushes both to their limits.
The episode ends with Alpha’s defeat and Ben returning to his universe, not before exchanging a fist bump with Rex — a rare moment of respect between two very different heroes.
Themes & Highlights

Final Thoughts

The banter, respect, and trust that build between Ben and Rex in just 22 minutes are a testament to how well-crafted the special was.
It remains a standout moment in Cartoon Network’s action catalog and a nostalgic gem for fans who grew up during the golden age of CN sci-fi. For fans of either show, it’s a must-watch crossover that feels like the Avengers of 2010s cartoons.
