Powerless is the 15th Ben 10: Ultimate Alien comic published in the Cartoon Network Action Pack series, published by DC and Cartoon Network. This comic appears in issue 58 of the series.
Plot
During a fight with Triple Trouble, the Ultimatrix powers down on Ben and he's left powerless in a middle of the fight. After Gwen and Kevin save the day without his help, the duo convince Ben that he should get some training to prepare himself for the occasions when he can't call on the Ultimatrix for help.
Ben, on Max's advice, visits an old friend Charlie Lien Ho at his martial arts dojo (leaving the Ultimatrix at home), in order to have him teach Ben how to be a capable fighter and not be left vulnerable. Before much training beyond a few vague words of advice can be given, an alien collector in search of totems of power (such as the watch), bursts through the ceiling, setting the master and apprentice on the run.
Without his aliens to help him, Ben has to use Charlie's advice to avoid and distract The Collector, eventually leading him to a water tower that Ben and Charlie collapse on top of him together. After getting home, Ben finds he's less concerned about the Ultimatrix, and instead on getting some rest.
