While there are some hints and close calls, Ben actively tries to keep his identity as a superhero secret. He does so to protect himself, his friends, and the world from the dangers of revealing his powers.
Here are some points to consider:
* The Plumbers: While Ben is affiliated with the Plumbers, they are a secretive organization and operate independently from the public eye.
* The Omnitrix: The Omnitrix itself is a powerful and dangerous device, and revealing it could lead to chaos and unwanted attention.
* Ben's Responsibility: Ben recognizes the weight of his responsibility as a superhero and chooses to use his powers discreetly to protect others.
The show continues to explore the theme of secrecy and responsibility, even with Ben's growing confidence and maturity.
