Ben is a one time appearing character from the Venture Bros. television show. He reclusive old man that lives in what Hank Venture and Dean Venture mistakenly know Potter's House, a seemingly abandoned old house on the edge of the Venture Compound they equally mistakenly believe to be owned by a scary recluse called Old Man Potter.
In actuality, Ben is a former associate of Jonas Venture Sr.. Together they mastered the genetic engineering processes that would later allow Dr. Thaddeus "Rusty" Venture to develop clones of Hank and Dean. To his horror, Dean learned about his cloning when he visited Potter's House on a dare from Hank and Dermott Fictel.
Ben formerly lived on the property with Reco, a genetically engineered creation. However, in Venture Libre, Reco was seen with a number of other abominations arriving by boat at Puerto Bahia.
