Plumbers (Ben 10)

The Plumbers are an organization that features in Ben 10.

History

The Plumbers were an intergalactic law enforcement agency that was charged with protecting worlds from extraterrestrial threats.

Max and Gwen visited the Plumber base at Mt. Rushmore to collect a special weapon after a returning Vilgax captured Ben to remove the Omnitrix. (Episode: Secrets) Max's past as a Plumber was revealed to Ben and Gwen before eventually crossing paths with Max's former partner Phil Billings. However, they would learn that Phil had stolen the Null Void Projector stored at Mt. Rushmore as a part of a scam to profit from catching aliens he himself had released. Phil's plan was thwarted by the Tennysons, who sent him to the Null Void. (Episode: Truth) Max used a Plumber weapon known as a Sun Gun to help Ben destroy Zs'Skayr after he freed himself from the Omnitrix. (Episode: Ghostfreaked Out) The Plumbers' relationship with the Lenopans was explored as Camille's parents and ex-boyfriend scheme to stop her wedding with Joel. However, the evil Lenopans were defeated by the Tennysons with extra help from Camille and thus she and Joel were married. Though they were similarly against the marriage for different reasons, Gordon and Betty Jean Tennyson eventually realized how unfairly they had treated Camille. Assisting her and the other Tennysons present, Joel's parents accepted Camille as their daughter-in-law, thus putting an end to the Plumber/Lenopan feud. (Episode: Big Fat Alien Wedding) Max revealed to Ben and Gwen that Fort Knox and the Space Needle used to be Plumber bases. However, members of the Negative 10 broke into both locations, stealing special keys for a hidden vault in the Mt. Rushmore base. It was revealed that the Mt. Rushmore base contained the Sub-Energy, which was locked in a vault that could only be unlocked using the keys stolen by the Negative 10. (Episode: Ben 10 vs. Negative 10)
