During the time they worked with Creator/CartoonNetwork, the team created ''WesternAnimation/Ben10'', which went on to become one of the channel most popular (and profitable) series, spawning a franchise that continues to this day. Though they had no direct involvement with any of the [[WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce original's]] [[WesternAnimation/Ben10UltimateAlien sequel]] [[WesternAnimation/Ben10Omniverse series]], aside from a few contributions, they would go on to create ''WesternAnimation/GeneratorRex'' and write a [[WesternAnimation/Ben10GeneratorRexHeroesUnited crossover special]] between the two series.

* ''Machina Rex'' (1999): A short-lived Image Comics series created by Joe Kelly and Duncan Rouleau, detailing the events leading up to a RobotWar that's doomed to take place in five year's time; specifically the roles that a secret agent, a Hollywood model, and an apprentice thief that can control machines played in those years. The concept was later reworked and adapted into ''Generator Rex''.
* ''ComicBook/{{Superman}}'' (1999-2004): The whole team worked on the ''Superman'' books with Creator/JephLoeb in some capacity, with Kelly taking over ''ComicBook/ActionComics'' alongside Loeb on ''Superman'', Casey shortly afterward taking over ''Adventures of Superman'', Seagle replacing Loeb on ''Superman'' when Loeb left to work on ''ComicBook/SupermanBatman'', and Rouleau doing some one-shots and fill-in work. Their biggest contributions to the lore were the [[PresidentEvil arc with Lex Luthor as President of the United States]], which would inspire elements of Superman lore going forward, including the Cadmus arc of ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague Unlimited''; ''ComicBook/OurWorldsAtWar'', which created Imperiex, who'd go on to be the BigBad of season 2 of ''WesternAnimation/LegionOfSuperHeroes2006''; and Kelly's ''ComicBook/ActionComics'' #775, "ComicBook/WhatsSoFunnyAboutTruthJusticeAndTheAmericanWay", which features the debut of the Elite, a deconstruction of teams like ''ComicBook/TheAuthority''. The last one led to Kelly doing both ''ComicBook/JusticeLeagueElite'' and a SelfAdaptation for the WesternAnimation/DCUniverseAnimatedOriginalMovies line, ''WesternAnimation/SupermanVsTheElite''.

In recent years, Man of Action's work was become rather... [[BrokenBase controversial]] due to more "childish" nature of their later projects. After ''Rex'', the crew jumped to Creator/MarvelAnimation, where they served as the supervising producers for the first two seasons of ''WesternAnimation/UltimateSpiderMan'' and executive produced the first two seasons of ''WesternAnimation/AvengersAssemble''. After which they returned to Cartoon Network, they developed [[WesternAnimation/Ben102016 a reboot of]] ''Ben 10'' that was met with as much of a mixed response as their Marvel projects.
