This isn’t an AU or OC thing, just a timeskip years after 23 met Prime. (Yes, he goes through puberty earlier than his counterpart.)
In this timeskip, Ben 23 finally learns the consequences of fame, but only after dealing with...newer experiences. His merchandise keep selling and his movies go on, as he still remains a celebrity hero, although he stops selling others’ products through his identity. He also becomes quite upset when people simply know him as “Ben 23″ or simply “23″, rather than his true self as Benjamin Alfred Tennyson. (The middle name’s been changed to differ his identity more from his older counterpart).
New Info on Ben 23 post-timeskip:
- 16 years old

- Kai ends up being the petty one, and only hangs around Ben for his popularity

- Ben 23 does not let people get to close too him, as he suspects that they might dislike him as his regular self
