Kevin Levin

In the Original Series, Kevin was a thin and scrawny boy with shoulder-length black hair, pale skin, and dark brown eyes with black-discolored marks around them. He wore a torn black T-shirt, black studded armbands, brown cargo shorts, black boots, and a padlock necklace which is a spoil from his first crime: stealing a bike and using it to run away to New York.[pop-up 3][29] In Alien Force, Kevin had grown into a tall and muscular young man. His eyes lacked the black marks. His normal attire in Season 1, as well as Ultimate Alien, was a tight black T-shirt over a grey long sleeve shirt, blue pants, and black combat shoes. His hair, although still long, was styled into a choppy mullet. In Season 2 of Alien Force, he wore a short-sleeved light blue oil-stained mechanic's jacket with a white name tag that had "Kev" on it, over a white muscular shirt, blue pants, and his black combat shoes. After being mutated, he occasionally used this appearance as a disguise via an ID Mask. In Omniverse, Kevin wore the same black shirt, but the sleeves and collar were roughly cut, his grey shirt has stripes, the sleeves on his long-sleeved grey shirt were slightly torn and he wore blue holsters. His hair was longer and straighter, and his pants had a small tear below the left knee. He also wore a padlock necklace similar to the one he wore when he was 11 but marked with an "11". He also sported black marks around his eyes again. Due to a complicated childhood and having supernatural abilities at a young age, Kevin exhibited psychopathic tendencies and was willing to hurt or kill anyone for his personal gain.[29] This stemmed from being treated like a freak by his peers and family and was only exacerbated by the negative mental side effects he experienced whenever he absorbed too much energy. This caused Kevin to live with many insecurities about himself; he would embrace his "freak" title while also being paranoid of other people using it against him.

His paranoia would progress to the point of considering everyone to be his enemy because, as he put it, "Nobody's innocent! They just haven't had the chance to make fun of me yet!"[1] Kevin thus lived on the streets, committing various crimes and cruel acts of violence; one telling instance of which was attempting to ram a money train into another train carrying passengers, and simply parroting the phrase "no pain, no gain" at the thought of all the innocent lives that would be lost.[29] Kevin's outlook began to change when he met Kwarrel, a fellow prisoner in Incarcecon. Becoming a mentor to him, Kwarrel helped improve Kevin's anger issues and ultimately sacrificed his life to protect him. Kwarrel would forever remain in Kevin's memory, and helped to positively influence his personality.[32] Kevin would later want to become a hero of sorts (which was later manipulated by the Rooters' leader Servantis to further his own goal).[33] By Alien Force (and onward), Kevin had changed significantly. Despite having become a con artist and an arms broker, he was much more stable, having developed a mature yet snarky and lax personality, "as cool as they come".[AF Mini Bible 1][AF VG 1] No longer so angry, he dropped his big rivalry with Ben (what was previously so important to him) and worked with him and Gwen to honor the dying words of Magister Labrid. Though Kevin was initially untrusting of them, he befriended Ben and fell in love with Gwen during the time they spent together, growing to become a core member of their team. He also developed a respect for Max, whose younger personality Kevin's is said to resemble

While changed for the better, Kevin still often shows a lawless delinquent side. He cannot resist a good scheme to make money (often with Argit).[5][11][3] He once insincerely agreed to marry Princess Looma purely to get his hands on a Tetramand Engine Block.[35] Despite this side of Kevin, Ben and (especially) Gwen still greatly trust him, and offer him second chances with each break in loyalty. Kevin once told Ben that he is grateful to them for having offered him compassion and changing his life.[31] Kevin healthily channels his delinquency through a love of cars and automotive engineering. He is extremely protective of his car, always working to improve it,[36] and becomes very upset whenever it gets damaged, which happens on a fairly regular basis when Ben is around.[24] Kevin is shown to be very good with animals, even without trying. At one point, a Blowfish became strongly attached to him.[37] After he saved Zed from being crushed, she chose to join Kevin, despite being well-trained and previously very loyal to Khyber.[38] Kevin's morals have also improved since he joined Ben's team. Though he may do unethical things, his conscience is clear. He now shows disgust at those who take advantage of others and the innocent, such as when he yelled at Argit for abusing Andreas' trust, sucker-punched Argit moments later for not showing any remorse for Andreas having sacrificed their life,[39] brawled Zed's previous owner Khyber while calling him a jerk for his harmful and cold treatment of her,[23] and reprimanded Ra'ad for being selfish and abandoning others to save himself, just like he would do when he was younger.[8] He even stopped himself from a great prospect of money after noticing the containment suit he was tasked with breaking open was highly sealed for a reason

Despite having adopted a more positive outlook on life, Kevin still suffers from his old insecurities, which resurface the most when he is mutated. The third time he mutated, he was visibly disgusted with himself and fluctuated between bouts of uncontrollable aggression and depression that jeopardized his relationships, especially with Gwen.[12] As Ultimate Kevin, his actions nearly completely shattered his relationships with Ben and Gwen. He also returned to calling himself the familiar "freak" and "monster", voicing jealous frustration against Ben for being a famous superhero while he remained mutated.[27] While he cares for the innocent, Kevin is still willing to kill, either from necessity or his loyalties, and has expressed he would kill any villains that went after his family or the Tennysons.[16] For example, he was willing to let Ragnarok die to avenge his father[7] and advised Ben to kill Dr. Victor Valadis in order to destroy the Microchip Queen inside him.[6] Kevin is also prone to making blunders, such as foolishly revealing where Sugilite had gone to Vilgax,[40] describing Charmcaster as "hot" in front of Gwen and admitting to kissing her,[12] almost getting Baz-L killed when he revealed to the Vreedle Brothers that they would not be getting paid,[41] and accidentally inspiring Prisoner 775 to try to kill Colonel Rozum
