You can actually save the day with a rock.
Who's your hero?
Gwen makes her jealousy of the Omnitrix known after helping defeat an evil wizard and receiving no recognition for it. Ben gives her a souvenir of the fight as a sign of respect. Unbeknown to him, it gives Gwen good luck and she decides to turn into a superheroine called "Lucky Girl".
Tropes:
- Accidental Aiming Skills: To test her new luck, Gwen tries making a three point shot without looking at the basket. She misses at first but the ball still ends up bouncing back to net.
- Bad Luck Charm: The side effect of the Charm of Luck is that it "redirects" all the bad luck to everyone that is not its possessor. This mostly means bad luck for Ben.
- Cool Mask: Gwen uses a purple and black cat mask when she is "Lucky Girl".
- Deflector Shields: Hex creates a personal one several times during the episode. It's strong enough to withstand a tunnel collapsing over it.
- Dude, Where's My Respect?: Gwen doesn't get the recognition of helping in defeating Hex even though she, along with Grandpa Max, distracted him long enough to let Ben attack him. Max tries to calm her down by saying that she has his respect but by being related to her "it doesn't count".
- Good Luck Charm: Gwen gets one that manipulates probability so everything that happens goes her way. It's even called Charm of Luck in the episode.
- Green Thumb: Hex controls a few vines to immobilize Gwen and get back his charm.
- I Just Want to Be Special: Gwen is visibly jealous of Ben's Omnitrix and jumps at the first opportunity of becoming a superheroine when she realizes the Charm of Luck manipulates probability.
- Ironic Echo: After defeating Hex as XLR8, he practically crows to the group of tourists thanking him "Who's your hero?". After saving a group of workers in a building under construction, and accidentally stopping Ben from helping by giving him bad luck, Gwen says the same thing to a reporter, knowingly waving at Ben.
- Living Statue: A spell of Hex animates the statues of the cemetery which include a few gargoyles and a minotaur.
- Living Structure Monster: Thanks to Hex, the haunted history mansion actively attacks anyone inside it. He uses it as a distraction to attract Lucky Girl and take back his charm.
- Magic Staff: Hex sports one that ends in the skull of a bird.
- Neck Snap: Four Arms defeats the minotaur this way but, because it's made of rock, his head is apparently shattered.
- No Man Should Have This Power: After claiming all of the Charms for herself, Gwen claims that with them she would be as unstoppable as Hex. She immediately sets the charms on a coffin before slamming a shovel down to crush them and release the contained Magic.
- Secret Underground Passage: Gwen discovers one in the haunted mansion. It's filled with skeletons and it connects to a cemetery.
- Superpowers for a Day: Gwen can essentially manipulate probability with one of the Charms of Bezel and, true to the trope's name, it doesn't last.
- You're Nothing Without Your Phlebotinum: Gwen says that Ben is only a hero because he uses the Omnitrix and argues that there is no reason for her not to use the Charm of Luck to become one as well.
