'''Kevin Ethan Levin'''<ref name="WotW1">''[[War of the Worlds: Part 1]]''</ref>{{Refn|group = Bandai|name = Bandai}} is an [[Osmosian]]{{Refn|In his earliest appearances, Kevin was presented as having absorption powers, without being specified as a mutant.{{Refn|[[:File:Kevin OS Origin.png]]|group = DR|name = absorb}} However, according to [[Derrick J.

When Kevin first appeared in the '''[[Ben 10|Original Series]]''', he quickly became one of [[Ben Tennyson (Classic)|Ben's]] most notable enemies. However, he reformed in '''[[Ben 10: Alien Force|Alien Force]]''' and became one of the main heroes of the [[Ben 10 (Franchise)|franchise]], until his departure with [[Gwen Tennyson (Classic)|Gwen]] in ''[[The More Things Change: Part 1]]''.

==Appearance==
===Regular Appearances===
In the '''[[Ben 10|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.{{Refn|[[:File:Kevin Padlock.png]]|group = pop-up|name = bike}}<ref name="Kevin 11" />

In '''[[Ben 10: Alien Force|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 '''[[Ben 10: Ultimate Alien|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 over a white muscular shirt, blue pants, and his black combat shoes. After being [[Kevin's Elemental Form|mutated]], he occasionally used this appearance as a disguise via an [[ID Mask]].

In '''[[Ben 10: Omniverse|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.

In ''[[Weapon XI: Part 2]]'', Kevin gets the same cross-shaped scar to his chin that his [[Kevin Levin (Omniverse Future)|future self]] has.

12-year-old Kevin in '''Omniverse''' looks exactly the same as how he does in the '''Original Series''', except for his cargo pants being grey instead of brown and his padlock necklace being marked with an "11".

===Occasional Appearances===
As shown in a fake photo in ''[[Vendetta]]'', as a 3-year-old,{{Refn|[[:File:Vendetta Script Third Draft 7.png]]|group = script}} he wore a white T-shirt.

In ''[[Everybody Talks About the Weather]]'' and ''[[The Perfect Girlfriend]]'', he wore a green jacket.

In ''[[What Are Little Girls Made Of?]]'', he wore grey trunks as a swimsuit.

In ''[[Save the Last Dance]]'', he wore a black tuxedo with a black bow tie.

In ''[[Birds of a Feather]]'', when on the [[Moon]], he wore an orange spacesuit with four arms.

In the beginning of '''''[[Ben 10: Alien Swarm|Alien Swarm]]''''', he wore a dark grey jacket over his regular attire. While investigating Ship-It, he wore a beanie with this outfit. Later in the movie, when revealing the Mark 10 to Ben, Gwen and Elena, he wore a short-sleeved bluish black mechanic's jacket with a white name tag that had "Kev" on it.

In ''[[Trade-Off!]]'' and ''[[The Final Battle: Part 2]]'', he wore black speedo-like swim trunks{{Refn|[[:File:Kevin's AF Mutation Had A Pocket.png]]|group = DM}} when he turned back to human. 

In the flashback in ''[[...Nor Iron Bars a Cage]]'', 11-year-old Kevin looked the same as he did in the '''Original Series''', but with blue jorts instead of brown pants.

In '''[[Ben 10: Ultimate Alien|Ultimate Alien]]''', he wore a standard Plumber suit during a few of his off-world excursions.

In ''[[Escape From Aggregor]]'', he wore a pale blue winter coat and blue pants.

In ''[[Absolute Power: Part 2]]'', he wore blue pants after he turned back to human. 

In ''[[Basic Training]]'', while at the barracks in the [[Plumbers' Academy]], he wore an olive tank top and black shorts.

In ''The Perfect Girlfriend'', while stalking [[Elena Valadis|Elena]] disguised as [[Julie Yamamoto|Julie]], he wore the green jacket he wore in ''Everybody Talks About the Weather'' and blue-tinted glasses.

In ''[[Inspector 13 (Episode)|Inspector #13]]'', Kevin wore an [[Ultimatrix (Original)|Ultimatrix]] symbol on his chest.

In ''[[The More Things Change: Part 1]]'', Kevin lacked the stripes on his shirt and the chin whiskers he has in the rest of the series.

While working with the [[Amalgam Kids]], he wore black armor.

In ''[[Charm School]]'', Kevin wore blue-tinted goggles while conducting tests on [[Kevin's Car (Omniverse)|his car]].

==Personality==
{{Quote|Okay, I like the Kevin that Gwen sees when she looks at me. And I like that you gave me another chance, even after I messed up all those other ones. I guess I'm sayin' I owe you guys for changing my life.|Kevin, thanking Ben and Gwen for turning him a better person.<ref name="Perplexahedron">''[[Perplexahedron (Episode)|Perplexahedron]]''</ref>}}
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.<ref name="Kevin 11" /> 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!"<ref name="Framed">''[[Framed]]''</ref> 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.<ref name="Kevin 11" />

Kevin's outlook began to change when he met [[Kwarrel]], a fellow prisoner in [[Incarcecon (Null Void)|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.<ref name="NIBaC">''[[...Nor Iron Bars a Cage]]''</ref> Kevin would later want to become a hero of sorts (which was later manipulated by the [[Rooters]]' leader [[Servantis]] to further his own goal).<ref name="WXI2">''[[Weapon XI: Part 2]]''</ref>

By '''[[Ben 10: Alien Force|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".{{Refn|group = AF Mini Bible|name = bible}}{{Refn||group = AF VG|name = AF VG}} No longer so angry, he dropped his big rivalry with [[Ben Tennyson (Classic)|Ben]] (what was previously so important to him) and worked with him and [[Gwen Tennyson (Classic)|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 [[Alien Force|their team]]. He also developed a respect for [[Max Tennyson (Classic)|Max]], whose younger personality Kevin's is said to resemble.<ref>[[Verdona]]</ref><ref name="WALGMO" />

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]]).<ref name="KBS"/><ref name="Simple" /><ref name="THTH"/> He once insincerely agreed to marry [[Looma Red Wind|Princess Looma]] purely to get his hands on a [[Tetramand Engine Block]].<ref name="MHR">''[[Many Happy Returns]]''</ref> 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.<ref name="Perplexahedron" />

Kevin healthily channels his delinquency through a love of cars and automotive engineering. He is extremely protective of his [[Kevin's Car|car]], always working to improve it,<ref name="CS">''[[Charm School]]''</ref> and becomes very upset whenever it gets damaged, which happens on a fairly regular basis when Ben is around.<ref name="OM" />

Kevin is shown to be very good with animals, even without trying. At one point, a [[Blowfish]] became strongly attached to him.<ref name="Deep">''[[Deep]]''</ref> After he saved [[Zed]] from being crushed, she chose to join Kevin, despite being well-trained and previously very loyal to [[Khyber]].<ref name="SP2">''[[Showdown: Part 2]]''</ref>

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,<ref name="AF">''[[Andreas' Fault]]''</ref> brawled Zed's previous owner [[Khyber]] while calling him a jerk for his harmful and cold treatment of her,<ref name="FaFBM" /> and reprimanded [[Ra'ad]] for being selfish and abandoning others to save himself, just like he would do when he was younger.<ref name="Fused" /> He even stopped himself from a great prospect of money after noticing the [[Prypiatosian-B Containment Suit|containment suit]] he was tasked with breaking open was highly sealed for a reason.<ref name="THTH" />

Despite having adopted a more positive outlook on life, Kevin still suffers from his old insecurities, which resurface the most when he is mutated. [[Kevin's Elemental Form|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.<ref name="In Charm's Way"/> 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.<ref name="TFoC" />

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.<ref name="HEWTL"/> For example, he was willing to let [[Ragnarok]] die to avenge his [[Devin Levin|father]]<ref name="Vendetta" /> and advised Ben to kill [[Victor Valadis]] in order to destroy the [[Microchip]] [[Decoy Queen|Queen]] inside him.<ref name="Ben 10: Alien Swarm" />

Kevin is also prone to making blunders, such as foolishly revealing where [[Sugilite]] had gone to [[Vilgax (Classic)|Vilgax]],<ref>''[[The Secret of Chromastone]]''</ref> describing [[Charmcaster (Classic)|Charmcaster]] as "hot" in front of Gwen and admitting to kissing her,<ref name="In Charm's Way" /> almost getting [[Baz-L]] killed when he revealed to the [[Vreedle Brothers]] that they would not be getting paid,<ref name="DFtR">''[[Don't Fear the Repo]]''</ref> and accidentally inspiring [[Prisoner 775]] to try to kill [[Colonel Rozum]].<ref>''[[Prisoner Number 775 is Missing]]''</ref>

Originally, Kevin's powers were believed to be of alien heritage,<ref name="Vendetta" /> but later explained to be of a unique genetic component.<ref name="TRoAE" />

===Energy Absorption===
{{Quote|I'm like an energy sponge. Motors, air conditioners, lights, batteries, whatever! Soak it up, then dish it out when I have to... or ''want to''.|Kevin, explaining his powers to Ben.<ref name="Kevin 11"/>}}
Kevin can absorb the energy of anything.{{Refn|[[:File:Gwen Mana Shapes.png]]|group = DM|name = anything}} This includes [[manna]], as he demonstrated in his [[Ultimate Kevin]] form on [[Gwen Tennyson (Classic)|Gwen]].<ref>''[[Absolute Power: Part 1]]''</ref>

Kevin can absorb the energy stored in other individuals. This was shown when he, in his Ultimate Kevin form, absorbed [[Ra'ad]], [[Bivalvan]], [[Galapagus]], [[P'Andor]] and [[Andreas]], all of whom had been turned into energy,<ref name="UA">''[[Ultimate Aggregor (Episode)|Ultimate Aggregor]]''</ref>{{Refn|[[:File:Andromeda Five Were Converted Into Energy.PNG]]|group = DM}} from [[Ultimate Aggregor]].<ref name="TFoC" />{{Refn|[[:File:Ultimate Kevin Absorbed Ultimate Aggregor's Energy.PNG]]|group = DM}}

Kevin can also absorb energy by accident, as was the case when he collided heads with [[Servantis]] and absorbed the memories stored within the [[Loyalty Neuro-Matrix]] as energy.<ref name="TRoAE" /> Kevin was able to carry the energy around on his hand and use it on [[Argit]]<ref name="TRoAE" /> and [[Alan Albright|Alan]]<ref name="WXI1" /> to restore their memories of their involvement with the [[Rooters]].

Kevin can discharge his stored energy by projecting it out of his hands.<ref name="Kevin 11" />

Kevin can infuse machines with his stored energy to activate them, as he demonstrated on an arcade machine, a forklift and a train conductor switch,<ref name="Kevin 11" /> or overload them, as he demonstrated on a keypad.<ref name="Kevin 11" />

Using his energy absorption powers, Kevin can absorb DNA, either directly,<ref name="Kevin 11" /> remotely,<ref>''[[Absolute Power: Part 2]]''</ref> or through devices such as the [[Omnitrix]].<ref name="WXI2" /> By absorbing DNA, he also gains the individuals' powers and undergoes mutation to accommodate the absorbed abilities.{{Refn|In the '''Original Series''', absorbing energy from the [[Omnitrix (Original)|Omnitrix]] granted Kevin the ability to transform into the aliens who were unlocked in the active playlist at the time. Furthermore, he only mutated into [[Kevin 11]] after losing control of his rage.<ref name="Framed"/> However, as of '''Ultimate Alien''', absorbing energy from the Omnitrix or [[Ultimatrix (Original)|Ultimatrix]] causes Kevin to immediately mutate into an amalgamated form.<ref name="TFoC"/>{{Refn|group = BTP|name = retcons}}|group = note}} His powers read DNA and clone it.{{Refn|[[:File:Kevin's Powers Read DNA and Clones.png]]|group = DR}}

Kevin can also absorb DNA by accident, as shown when exposure to feedback from the [[Omnitrix (Original)|original Omnitrix]] granted him the ability to transform into the aliens unlocked in the active playlist at the time, at the cost of only being able to stay [[Human (Classic)|human]] for a short time.<ref name="Framed" />

Kevin can use his body as a conduit for DNA, transferring it from a source to a target, as shown when [[Servantis]] used him to infuse the [[Rooters]] and [[Amalgam Kids]] with alien DNA, with the help of his technology.<ref name="TRoAE" />

By absorbing their energy, Kevin can also drain an individual of their life force, as demonstrated by [[Aggregor]].<ref name="EfA">''[[Escape From Aggregor]]''</ref>

Kevin can absorb the matter of anything,{{Refn|group = DM|name = anything}} with some exceptions (such as the [[Techadon Factory]])<ref name="GfT">''[[Greetings From Techadon]]''</ref> from any part of his body.<ref name="Deep" />{{Refn|[[:File:Male Anodites.PNG]]|group = DM}} He can even absorb multiple materials at once.<ref name="PH">''[[Plumbers' Helpers (Episode)|Plumbers' Helpers]]''</ref> Depending on the amount of the absorbed material he has available, and how he distributes it, he can either coat his body, or part of it, in the material as armor,<ref name="CR" /> or completely convert his body, or part of it, into a living version of the material.<ref name="MHR" /> Initially, he was supposed to create an outer shell with a small amount of material{{Refn|[[:File:AF Kevin Brief.png]]|group = AF Brief}}{{Refn|[[:File:AF Mini Bible-19.png]]|group = AF Mini Bible|name = bible}} - he could use a quarter to coat a forearm arm with metal, but not his whole body. Then, once he began to form weapons and tools with the material, it became more of a transformation into the substance.{{Refn|[[:File:Kevin Substance Transformation.png]]|group = MW}} His strength and durability in proportion to the material absorbed,{{Refn|[[:File:KBS Kevin.PNG]]|group = DM}}{{Refn|[[:File:Kevin Natural Super Strength.png]]|group = DM|name = strength}} though he can still feel pain.<ref name="OM" />

Kevin can absorb the materialistic properties of living beings such as [[To'kustar (Classic)|To'kustars]],<ref name="SP2" /> [[Petrosapien (Classic)|Petrosapiens]], [[Crystalsapien (Classic)|Crystalsapiens]], [[Rock Monster|Rock Monsters]],{{Refn|[[:File:Kevin Absorb Diamondhead Chromastone Crystals.png]]|group = DJW}} and [[Evolved Vaxasaurian|Evolved Vaxasaurians]].{{Refn|[[:File:Kevin absorb ultimate armor.png]]|group = DJW}}

Kevin can also absorb liquids,{{Refn|[[:File:Kevin Can Absorb Liquid Materials.PNG]]|group = DJW}}{{Refn|[[:File:Max Out Premiered Earlier Than Intended.PNG]]|group = DM}} and when he does, he gains the properties of that liquid. If Kevin absorbs mud, objects will pass through him without causing physical damage. He can even absorb bubblegum and fire.{{Refn|''link unavailable''|group = DJW|name = link unavailable}}{{Refn|[[:File:Kevin Can Absorb Bubblegum.PNG]]|group = DJW}}{{Refn|[[:File:Kevin Can Absorb Water and Fire.PNG]]|group = DM|name = link}} 

If Kevin absorbs an elastic material, he can "sort of" stretch.{{Refn|group = DM|name = link}}

Kevin can alter his body, such as by generating spikes,<ref name="WtMH">''[[Where the Magic Happens]]''</ref> spiked finials,<ref name="MI">''[[Mystery, Incorporeal]]''</ref> and crystals.<ref name="WXI1" /> He learned this ability while in his [[Kevin's Elemental Form|third mutation]].<ref name="CoR">''[[Con of Rath]]''</ref>

Kevin can shapeshift his hands and feet into different weapons and tools, such as battle axes,<ref name="HEWTL" /> sickles,<ref name="THTH" /> cleats,<ref name="EotB">''[[Eye of the Beholder]]''</ref> scythes, mallets,<ref>''[[The Big Story]]''</ref> shovels,<ref name="RotS" /> keys,<ref>''[[Ben 10,000 Returns]]''</ref> maces (spiked<ref name="CS" /> or non-spiked),<ref name="SS">''[[Simian Says]]''</ref> golf clubs,<ref name="GfT" /> lances,<ref name="TP">''[[The Purge]]''</ref> oars,<ref>''[[The Mother of All Vreedles]]''</ref> machetes (serrated<ref name="WXI2" /> or non-serrated),<ref>''[[Solitary Alignment]]''</ref> hammers,<ref>''[[Inspector 13 (Episode)|Inspector #13]]''</ref> hooks<ref name="OM" /> and blades.<ref name="TTaC">''[[Third Time's a Charm]]''</ref> He learned this ability while in his third mutation.<ref name="VoV2">''[[Vengeance of Vilgax: Part 2]]''</ref>

Kevin can merge his hands into one.<ref name="TP" />

Kevin is capable of regenerating and regrowing any damaged or destroyed body parts, allowing him to grow back lost limbs.<ref name="TP" />

Kevin has the power to increase his own body size and mass.<ref>''[[The Ultimate Enemy: Part 2]]''</ref>

Kevin can extend<ref name="WXI1" /> and enlarge<ref>''[[The Beginning of the End]]''</ref> his arms.

Kevin can manipulate matter to fill in cracks or holes by releasing a liquid version of whatever material he has absorbed, as shown when he repaired the rock ceiling of a mine.<ref name="THTH" /> He can also partially merge with the actual matter and manipulate the substance's form, as shown when he fused the seal of [[P'Andor|P'Andor's]] suit, morphed it around P'Andor, and fused the arms together as makeshift handcuffs.<ref name="THTH" />

Kevin has the ability to spontaneously create more of a given material by absorbing it. This allows him to create an endless supply, as shown when he was forced to mine [[Hedorium]].<ref>''[[From Hedorium to Eternity]]''</ref> By generating matter, Kevin can also create objects, as shown when he created a helmet to protect [[Sir George]] from [[Dagon]]'s mind control.<ref name="TUE1">''[[The Ultimate Enemy: Part 1]]''</ref>

Kevin can transfer the matter he has absorbed to another individual, as shown when he transferred his metal coating to [[Gwen Tennyson (Classic)|Gwen]] to release her from Dagon's mind control.<ref name="TUE1" /> 

Kevin can also encase others in matter without shedding his own coating, as he demonstrated when he coated a truck driver in asphalt.<ref name="PH" /> He can also cover others partially instead of completely. He once used the metal he absorbed to fashion a helmet for Gwen to prevent the [[Lucubra]] from controlling her.<ref name="TCfB">''[[The Creature From Beyond]]''</ref>

====Rubber Form====
Kevin's body becomes highly elastic when absorbing rubber. He is able to bounce wall from wall, making his movements highly unpredictable, especially in a close quarter fight.<ref name="XB2">''[[X = Ben + 2]]''</ref>

When his rubber coating is burned, a strong stench capable of incapacitating [[Incursean (Classic)|Incurseans]] is produced.<ref name="XB2" />

====Varsidium Form====
When struck, Kevin can amplify sonic vibrations. This was shown when [[Gwen Tennyson (Classic)|Gwen]] hit him with [[manna]] to amplify [[Echo Echo]]'s sonic screams, incapacitating the [[DNAlien]]s in the process.<ref>''[[Undercover]]''</ref>

====Carbon Rod Form====
As the carbon rods are made of a silver-indium-cadmium alloy,{{Refn|[[:File:THtH Script Final Draft-32.png]]|group = script}} Kevin is provided with immunity to radiation. Furthermore, he is able to regulate the radiation produced by beings such as [[P'Andor]], by absorbing excess neutrons.<ref name="THTH" />

====Metal Form====
Kevin is resistant to high pressures in oceans, such as those on [[Piscciss]].<ref name="Deep" />

====Stone Form====
Kevin is resistant to cold temperatures, such as those on [[Mikd'lty]].<ref name="MoI">''[[Map of Infinity (Episode)|Map of Infinity]]''</ref>

====Iron Form====
Kevin is immune to the [[Lucubra]]'s mind control.<ref name="TCfB" />

====Concrete Form====
Kevin is resistant to strong winds.<ref name="CR" />

===Mutations===
Kevin has undergone several mutations as a result of absorbing or being exposed to feedback from the [[Omnitrix (Original)|original Omnitrix]], [[Ultimatrix (Original)|Ultimatrix]] or [[Omnitrix (Omniverse)|new Omnitrix]], or absorbing alien DNA, namely:
*[[Pyronite Kevin]]
*[[Tetramand Kevin]]
*[[Kevin's Framed Mutation|Kevin's ''Framed'' Mutation]]
*[[Kevin 11]]
*[[Kevin's Omniverse Flashback Mutation]]
*[[Kevin's Elemental Form]]
*[[Ultimate Kevin]]
*[[Kevin's Omniverse Mutation]] 

===Other Skills and Abilities===
Even without using his matter absorption powers, Kevin is stronger than an average [[Human (Classic)|human]].{{Refn|group = DM|name = strength}} For example, he was able to slow down [[Pallorfang]] by holding its mouth open by its teeth.<ref name="WtMH" />

Kevin is durable enough to resist impacts and blunt force trauma that would severely injure an ordinary person with moderate discomfort. For example, he can survive being thrown through a metal wall from afar.<ref name="GT" />

Kevin can jump high in the air.<ref name="FaFBM" />

Kevin is highly acrobatic, as shown when he executed a forward handspring to grab a piece of debris.<ref name="EotB" />

Kevin has enhanced reflexes, allowing him to evade attacks quickly.<ref name="FaFBM" />

Kevin is a fairly proficient fighter. He doesn't employ a specific martial art in combat, but rather a loose street fighting style, focusing heavily on offense. He occasionally uses objects from his surroundings to aid him in battle, either in close or ranged combat.<ref name="GfT" /><ref>''[[The Flame Keepers' Circle]]''</ref><ref name="TRoAE" />

Kevin has shown himself to be quite a proficient gunman, as he demonstrated with a [[Chilling Gun]]<ref name="TEC">''[[The Eggman Cometh]]''</ref> and a [[Plumbers (Classic)|Plumber]] blaster.<ref name="TUE1" />

Kevin is proficient at driving, being able to drift and pivot in a vehicle as unorthodox as a three-wheeled buggy, even on sloped and unstable terrain.<ref name="TFoW2">''[[The Frogs of War: Part 2]]''</ref> He is also skilled at drag racing.<ref>''[[Paradox]]''</ref>

Kevin has impressive piloting skills, as shown when he pulled off a maneuver to escape a black hole in a [[Tachyon 930]].<ref name="CoR" /> He is considered to be a better pilot than [[Ben Tennyson (Classic)|Ben]].{{Refn|[[:File:P'Andor Imprisoned.PNG]]|group = DM}}

Kevin is excellent at mechanics and engineering. He makes frequent repairs and enhancements to his car and the [[Rustbucket 3]], outfitting them with various pieces of alien technology. For example, with [[Rook Blonko|Rook]]'s help, he was able to make his [[Kevin's Car (Omniverse)|new car]] impervious to everything except [[Magic (Classic)|magic]].<ref name="CS" /> On top of that, he built the [[Mark 10]], a car that he reluctantly gave to Ben as his 16th birthday present.<ref name="Ben 10: Alien Swarm" /> He also made alterations to Ben, [[Gwen Tennyson (Classic)|Gwen]] and his own [[Plumber Suit|Plumber suits]] to give them a combative edge while underwater by installing a propulsion unit and neuroshock pulsers,<ref name="Deep" /> and was able to modify and completely rework a Plumber blaster in a very short amount of time.<ref name="TUE1" />

Kevin possesses a vast scientific and technological knowledge of alien paraphernalia, being able to identify different pieces of technology at first glance, as he demonstrated on the components of the [[Proto-TRUK]].<ref name="MHR" />

Kevin has great analytical and deductive skills, having been able to determine and find out specifically what happened in a battle between [[Aggregor]] and the [[Plumbers (Classic)|Plumbers]] several hours after the battle, greatly impressing Ben and Gwen, and even gaining a compliment from [[Max Tennyson (Classic)|Max]] that he could either be an expert police officer or a wanted criminal.<ref name="UA" />

Kevin is very smart, but his formal education has been erratic, if not entirely lacking.<ref name="INEBG">''[[It's Not Easy Being Gwen]]''</ref> He knows a lot about some subjects, and absolutely nothing about others.{{Refn|[[:File:Kevin's Formal Education.PNG]]|group = DM}} Kevin's strongest intelligence is his street smarts: he is very wise and knowledgeable in the ways of the world, both on [[Earth (Classic)|Earth]] and in other parts of the [[Milky Way (Classic)|galaxy]].{{Refn|group = AF Mini Bible|name = bible}}{{Refn|group = AF VG|name = AF VG}} He is also familiar with galactic court procedure on [[Coda Coda]]; and can at least read one alien language.<ref name="DFtR" />

Kevin owns a [[Plumber Snake]], which [[Ben Tennyson (Classic)|Ben]] used to travel to the [[Null Void (Classic)|Null Void]] while tethering himself to [[Earth (Classic)|Earth]]. However, it was damaged when Ben traveled too far away from the portal.<ref>''[[Voided]]''</ref>

Kevin owned a [[Kevin's Car (Original)|green and black muscle car]], which was damaged in [[Upgrade (Classic)|Upgrade]]'s battle with [[Otto]].<ref name="OM" /> He has since used parts from it to build a [[Kevin's Car (Omniverse)|new car]].<ref name="TRoAE" />{{Refn|[[:File:Kevin Is Keeping the Taydenite Car 1.PNG]]|group = DJW}}

[[Lu]] lent [[Alien Force|the team]] [[Lu's Shuttle|his shuttle]] to allow them to return from the [[Moon]] to Earth,<ref name="BoaF">''[[Birds of a Feather]]''</ref> which Kevin stored in his garage.<ref name="DFtR" /> It is unknown if the shuttle was ever returned to Lu.

Kevin owns a [[Retrieval Beacon Generator]].<ref>''[[Singlehanded]]''</ref>

During the team's mission to deliver the [[Prince of Lewoda]] to [[King Jarret]], they were given a [[Tachyon 930]] by [[Zaw-Veenull]].<ref name="CoR" /> It is unknown if the ship was returned.

Kevin has a [[Plumber Suit|Plumber suit]], allowing him to survive in unsuitable environments. He modified it by installing a propulsion unit and neuroshock pulsers.<ref name="Deep" />

Kevin owns a [[Chilling Gun]].<ref name="TEC" />

Kevin was given a [[Taydenite Car|Taydenite car]] by [[Gar Red Wind]]. He chips little pieces of it for when he needs some money.<ref name="CS" />{{Refn|[[:File:Kevin Is Keeping the Taydenite Car 2.PNG]]|group = DJW}}

Kevin has a [[Null Void Projector]].<ref name="WXI1" />

While working for the [[Rooters]], Kevin wielded a blaster.<ref name="WXI2" />

Kevin owned a [[Plumber Badge]], which formerly belonged to [[Magister Labrid]].<ref name="B10R2">''[[Ben 10 Returns: Part 2]]''</ref> His badge has since been reassigned to [[Molly Gunther]].<ref name="TRoAE" />

Kevin formerly kept a [[Universal Translator]] in the trunk of his original car, which the team gave to the [[Dragon]] to help them understand him and vice versa.<ref>''[[Be-Knighted]]''</ref>

Kevin formerly wielded a [[DNA Repair Gun]], which he used to revert the [[DNAlien]]s back to [[Human (Classic)|human]].<ref name="WotW1" /> [[Simian]] later sold it to the [[Incursean (Classic)|Incursean]]s.<ref name="SS" />

Kevin built a [[Hacking Machine|machine]] capable of hacking the [[Omnitrix (Original)|original Omnitrix]]<ref name="VoV1">''[[Vengeance of Vilgax: Part 1]]''</ref> and [[Ultimatrix (Original)|Ultimatrix]]. It was destroyed after an explosion in his garage.<ref name="Fused" />

While stuck in his [[Kevin's Elemental Form|third mutation]], Kevin used an [[ID Mask]] to look like his [[Human (Classic)|human]] form.<ref name="TFB2"/> He lost the ID Mask when [[Ben Tennyson (Classic)|Ben]] disguised it as the [[Ultimatrix (Original)|Ultimatrix]] symbol and placed it onto [[Vulkanus]]' back so that the [[Techadon Robot]]s would attack him instead of Ben.<ref name="GfT" />

[[Gwen Tennyson (Classic)|Gwen]] once lent Kevin a protection charm. It can protect the user only if they correctly recite the incantation on it, as Gwen stated that she would never see Kevin again if he mispronounced the incantation. It was last seen when Kevin dropped it on the ground, so it is unknown if Gwen ever got it back.<ref name="INEBG" /> 

Kevin temporarily wielded a [[Plumbers (Classic)|Plumber]] blaster during the war between the [[Esoterica]] and [[Forever Knights]], which he later modified.<ref name="TUE1" />

Any energy, DNA or powers Kevin absorbs will dissipate over time or through excessive use, so he is required to recharge.<ref name="Kevin 11" /> However, for unknown reasons, when Kevin absorbed energy from [[Servantis]]' [[Loyalty Neuro-Matrix]], he was able to store it for a long time.<ref name="TRoAE" />

Whenever Kevin absorbs the DNA of other lifeforms, he only gains 1/10th of their abilities.{{Refn|Initially, an [[Osmosian]]'s absorption ratio was more proportional, as shown with [[Pyronite Kevin]] and [[Tetramand Kevin]], which possessed a greater balance between aspects of their regular form and the alien forms that made up the mutations.<ref name="Kevin 11" /> However, [[Kevin's Framed Mutation|Kevin's ''Framed'' Mutation]] showed the ability to fully transform into the alien forms.<ref name="Framed" /> Meanwhile, the [[Kevin 11]] mutation possessed 1/10th the power of the Omnitrix transformations.<ref>''[[Grudge Match]]''</ref>. Subsequently, it is established in '''Ultimate Alien''' that Osmosians gain the fixed amount of 1/10th of a lifeform's abilities, regardless of the circumstances.<ref name="EfA"/>{{Refn|group = BTP|name = retcons}}|group = note}}

Absorbing energy, DNA or powers causes Kevin to become insane.<ref name="UA" />{{Refn|[[:File:Kevin Bought His Mom A House.png]]|group = DM|name = house}} An exception to this is when he absorbed DNA from the [[Omnitrix (Omniverse)|new Omnitrix]],<ref name="WXI2" /> as he was able to retain his sanity in his [[Kevin's Omniverse Mutation|mutated form]] (albeit faking insanity to [[Ben Tennyson (Classic)|Ben]]) due to having absorbed energy from Servantis' Loyalty Neuro-Matrix.<ref name="TRoAE" /> Being drained of the energy, DNA or powers he has absorbed will restore his sanity, at the cost of making him exhausted.<ref name="WXI2" /> 

Depending on his self-control, emotional and mental state and how much energy/DNA/power was absorbed, Kevin may not be able to permanently revert from his amalgamated mutations. Initially, he could not permanently revert from his [[Kevin 11]] mutation,{{Refn|[[:File:Kevin 11 Reverted More Than Once.PNG]]|group = DM}} but eventually did so with [[Kwarrel]]'s help,<ref name="NIBaC" /> and was later able to use what he had learned to revert from his [[Kevin's Omniverse Flashback Mutation|'''Omniverse''' flashback]] and present-day mutations.<ref name="WXI2" /> However, he could not revert from his [[Ultimate Kevin]] mutation as, compared to the other three mutations, he had absorbed more DNA samples{{Refn|[[:File:Why Ultimate Kevin Did Not Try To Revert.png]]|group = DM}} and, as a result, had become more insane.<ref name="TFoC" />

Initially, Kevin could not absorb enough matter from small objects to completely coat himself, and needed a sample approximate to him in size.<ref>''[[Darkstar Rising]]''</ref>{{Refn|[[:File:Kevin's Matter Absorption Powers.PNG]]|group = DM}} However, he no longer has this problem as of '''[[Ben 10: Omniverse|Omniverse]]''', and can coat his entire body with just small shard of material.<ref name="MI" /><ref name="WXI1" />

Kevin is unable to use his matter absorption powers while wearing a spacesuit<ref name="BoaF" /> or [[Plumber Suit|Plumber suit]],<ref name="MoI" /><ref name="Deep" /> giving him a major disadvantage in combat.

In his metal form, Kevin is vulnerable to electricity.<ref name="Deep" />

In his metal form, Kevin can be magnetized. However, he can use this to his advantage, as shown when [[Lodestar]] launched him at the [[Mech Dragon]]<ref name="TP" /> on one occasion and [[Zombozo (Classic)|Zombozo]] on another.<ref name="TMTC1">''[[The More Things Change: Part 1]]''</ref>

In his wood form, Kevin is vulnerable to fire.<ref name="WXI1" />

Kevin can be forced to absorb matter by coming into contact with an [[Absorption Band]].<ref name="KBS" />

Most of Kevin's powers can be neutralized by [[Energy Cuffs]]<ref>''[[Ben 10 Returns: Part 1]]''</ref> or a power dampening headband.<ref>''[[Viktor: The Spoils]]''</ref>

Kevin can be immobilized by ice, as shown when he was frozen by the [[DNAlien Freeze Gun]]s.<ref name="ETAtW" />

Kevin can be rendered unconscious by sedative quills, such as those generated from [[Argit|Argit's]] [[Argit's Species|species]].<ref name="KBS" /><ref name="AF" />

[[File:CS (385).png|thumb|Rook and Kevin]]
Rook and Kevin share an interest in automobiles. They have visited auto shows together<ref name="OM" /> and worked on [[Kevin's Car (Omniverse)|Kevin's new car]].<ref name="CS" />

After Kevin witnessed the [[Proto-TRUK]] in action and examined it, he told Ben that Rook is the coolest guy [[Ben Tennyson (Classic)|Ben]] has met who isn't Kevin himself.<ref name="MHR" />

Kevin and Rook also tend to engage in playful banter.<ref name="OM" />

Although they get along for the most part, Kevin has expressed annoyance at Rook's politeness<ref name="TFoW2" /> and adherence to [[Plumbers (Classic)|Plumber]] protocol.<ref name="OM" />

===Love Interests===
====[[Gwen Tennyson (Classic)|Gwen Tennyson]]====
''See Article:'' [[Gwen Tennyson and Kevin Levin|''Relationship with Gwen Tennyson'']]

====[[Charmcaster (Classic)|Charmcaster]]====
[[File:ICW (176).png|thumb|Charmcaster kissing Kevin]]
In ''[[In Charm's Way]]'', Charmcaster used a [[Spells (Classic)|spell]] that transformed her into a blonde teenage girl named Caroline as part of her plan to charm and hypnotize Kevin. She and Kevin journeyed to the beach where she revealed a partially false life story while removing the [[ID Mask]] that concealed [[Kevin's Elemental Form|Kevin's mutant form]], clearly growing jealous of Gwen when Kevin mentioned "You think you can do [[Magic (Classic)|magic]]? She's made of magic". She then kissed him, putting him under her hypnotic influence through a spell, and then ordered him to bring Gwen to the planetarium before midnight where she could drain Gwen's magical and [[Anodite]] powers. To fortify or deepen her hypnotic control over Kevin, she also granted him a magic amulet. Kevin was broken free from Charmcaster's influence spell after the amulet was broken by Ben.

Kevin thinks Charmcaster is hot and was attracted to her while in disguise. However, she never liked him and was just taunting him.{{Refn|[[:File:Michael Only Likes Himself.PNG]]|group = DM}}

After this incident, Kevin and Charmcaster were mostly enemies, with Kevin disliking Charmcaster until he learned just how similar they are. He initially attempted to brush this empathy off, but when Gwen trapped Charmcaster in her own [[Bag of Tricks|bag]] and kept her under the goal of becoming friends with her, Kevin seemed relieved, knowing firsthand how Gwen can help change a person.<ref name="TTaC" />

===Neutral===
====[[Jennifer Nocturne]]====
[[File:HT (549).png|thumb|Jennifer flirting with Kevin]]
Jennifer Nocturne is a teenage actress Kevin admired, not just liking her skills but also herself. He introduced himself just before she took Ben to the party, but she paid little attention saying, "Oh of course you are". Later, when Jennifer was kidnapped and saved by Kevin and Gwen, Nocturne asked Kevin out. When Gwen heard this, she became jealous of her and said angrily "I will peel you like a grape!".<ref name="HT"/>

==Online Games==
=== [[The Alien Device]] ===
Kevin is the first and penultimate villain in ''[[The Alien Device]]'' that Ben sends back to the [[Null Void (Classic)|Null Void]] with the [[Null Void Projector]].

==Etymology==
Kevin's last name is derived from "Eleven" while also having the spelling altered so that his first and last name are eye rhymes as well as phonetic rhymes. This lines up with his age in the '''[[Ben 10|Original Series]]''' and is similar to [[Ben Tennyson (Classic)|Ben's]] first and last names which, when shortened, also contains a number that rhymes with his first name.

==Trivia==
*Kevin is the first villain from the '''[[Ben 10|Original Series]]''' to return in '''[[Ben 10: Alien Force|Alien Force]]'''.
*Kevin had a few girlfriends prior to '''Alien Force'''.<ref name="RotS" />{{Refn|[[:File:Kevin's Previous Girlfriends.PNG]]|group = DM}}
*Kevin watched '''[[Wikipedia:Captain Planet|Captain Planet]]''' and '''[[Wikipedia:The X-Files|The X-Files]]''' when he was younger.<ref>''[[The Widening Gyre]]''</ref>
*A running gag in the series is Kevin becoming distraught every time [[Kevin's Car|his car]] or the [[Rustbucket 3]] get damaged or destroyed.
*Kevin's mother used to read ''[[wikipedia:The Princess Bride|The Princess Bride]]'' to Kevin when he was younger.{{Refn|[[:File:Ben Has Other Friends.PNG]]|group = DM}}
*When Kevin was in the [[Null Void (Classic)|Null Void]], he had an alien pet that he called a dog.{{Refn|group = DM|name = link2}} The pet once got sick and Kevin had to take him to a vet named P'strph, who made Kevin put a cone around his neck.<ref>''[[All That Glitters]]''</ref>{{Refn|[[:File:Vet Name.PNG]]|group = DM}}
*In '''Alien Force''' and '''[[Ben 10: Ultimate Alien|Ultimate Alien]]''', Kevin lived in an apartment in [[Bellwood (Classic)|Bellwood]].{{Refn|[[:File:Kevin Apartment.PNG]]|group = DM|name = link2}} He sometimes slept at [[Kevin's Mother|his mother's]] house, which he bought for her, and his main garage was there.<ref name="Vendetta" />{{Refn|group = DM|name = house}} In '''[[Ben 10: Omniverse|Omniverse]]''', Kevin initially lived in a garage in the same area as [[Friedkin University]],<ref name="TMTC1" />{{Refn|[[:File:2020-06-14 Q A With Matt Wayne - Page 18.png]]|group = MW}} later revealed to be [[Paik's Body Shop]].<ref name="TRoAE" /> Sometime prior to ''[[Charm School]]'', he moved into the Friedkin University basement and currently lives there.
*Kevin and Gwen are famous on [[Earth (Classic)|Earth]], just not nearly as famous as [[Ben Tennyson (Classic)|Ben]].{{Refn|[[:File:Gwen and Kevin Famous.PNG]]|group = DM}} [[Dwayne McDuffie]] compared their level of fame to that of American television personality [[Wikipedia:Gayle King|Gayle King]].{{Refn|[[:File:Gwen and Kevin Gayle King.PNG]]|group = DM}} 
**However, Kevin is still very famous in space.{{Refn|[[:File:Kevin Famous in Space.PNG]]|group = DM}}
* The '''Alien Force''' crew knew how Kevin escaped the Null Void, but the story was never revealed in an episode.{{Refn|[[:File:How Kevin Escaped the Null Void.PNG]]|group = DM}}
**However, a hint was given in ''[[Plumbers' Helpers (Episode)|Plumbers' Helpers]]'' after Ben as [[Swampfire]] escaped the Null Void.{{Refn|[[:File:Kevin Null Void Hint.PNG]]|group = DM}}
*When asked if Kevin would get a haircut in '''Ultimate Alien''', Dwayne stated that he was hiding something by keeping his hair long.{{Refn|[[:File:Why Kevin Kept His Hair Long in UAF.png]]|group = DM}} Correlating with this, he also stated that [[Osmosian|Osmosians]] do not generally groom or cut their hair.{{Refn|[[:File:Osmosians Don't Cut Their Hair.PNG]]|group = DM}} However, as Osmosians have been retconned in '''Omniverse''' to be a subspecies of [[Human (Classic)|humans]],{{Refn|group = BTP|name = retcons}} it may now be a moot point.
*Kevin got the small, grey padlock that he wears for a necklace from his first crime, which was stealing a bike to run away from Bellwood.{{Refn|group = pop-up|name = bike}}<ref name="Kevin 11" />
*Kevin was the first non-family member that Ben shared his secret with.{{Refn|[[:File:Kevin Secret.png]]|group = pop-up}}<ref name="Kevin 11" />
*Kevin's real father was abusive to him.{{Refn|group = DJW|name = dad}}
**[[Derrick J. Wyatt]] speculated that Kevin remembered his actual father after defeating the [[Rooters]].{{Refn|[[:File:Kevin Remembers His Real Father.png]]|group = DJW}}
*Kevin was created by [[Joe Casey]], inspired by the ''The Seven Million Dollar Man'' episode of '''[[Wikipedia:The Six Million Dollar Man|The Six Million Dollar Man]]'''. Originally, he was to have an [[Omnitrix]] of his own. While this concept ultimately did not come to pass, it was eventually brought back in the [[Ben 10 (Reboot)|reboot]].{{Refn|https://open.spotify.com/episode/447fjWAZQEPshSHdGyONMO|group = JC|name = spotify}}{{Refn|[[:File:Kevin 11 Omnitrix Concept.png]]|group = DR}}{{Refn|group = DR|name = absorb}}
**Joe Casey prefers his original idea to the change to Kevin's powers made in '''Alien Force'''.{{Refn|group = JC|name = spotify}}
*Kevin's '''Original Series''' design was made by [[Dave Johnson]].{{Refn|[[:File:Tom & Dave Designed Kevin Levin.PNG]]|group = TP}}
*Kevin's '''Alien Force''' and '''Ultimate Alien''' design was initially created by [[Glen Murakami]]. His face was tweaked and his body was slimmed down by [[Glenn Wong]], with colors added by Chris Hooten.{{Refn|https://archive.ph/DIctu|group = GW}} 
**Kevin's grey trunks in ''[[What Are Little Girls Made Of?]]'' and his winter coat in ''[[Escape From Aggregor]]'' were designed by [[T.J. Collins]].{{Refn|https://archive.is/bt2IW|group = TJC}}{{Refn|https://archive.is/cFbxg|group = TJC}} The former was the first character design he ever got approved.{{Refn|[[:File:AF Kevin Swimsuit Was TJ Collins' First Approved Design.png]]|group = TJC}}
*Kevin's '''Omniverse''' design was created by Derrick.{{Refn|[[:File:Derrick Designed OV Gwen and Kevin.png]]|group = DJW}}
*Kevin wears wholesters in '''Omniverse''' because his voice actor, [[Greg Cipes]], wears them too.{{Refn|[[:File:OV Kevin Wholesters.png]]|group = DJW}}
*The idea of Kevin adopting [[Zed]] was requested by Greg Cipes due to his love of animals. Early on, there were some thoughts of an [[Earth (Classic)|Earth]] dog for Kevin, which Derrick started designing, before the crew decided to give him Zed.{{Refn|[[:File:Kevin's Earth Dog.PNG]]|group = DJW}}{{Refn|[[:File:Kevin's Earth Dog 2.png]]|group = DJW}}{{Refn|[[:File:Kevin's Earth Dog Concepts.png]]|group = DJW}}
*It was Derrick's idea to give Kevin his scar in '''Omniverse'''.{{Refn|[[:File:Kevin's Scar.png]]|group = DJW}}
*An alternate counterpart of Kevin does not exist in [[Rex Salazar (Generator Rex)|Rex's]] [[Generator Rex Dimension|home dimension]].{{Refn|[[:File:Ben 10 and Gen Rex Separate Histories.png]]|group = DR}} This was proven true during Ben's visit there, as he hypothesized that Kevin may not exist on Rex's Earth.<ref>''[[Ben 10-Generator Rex: Heroes United|Ben 10/Generator Rex: Heroes United]]''</ref>
**Little to nothing is known of [[Dimension 23|Dimension 23's]] Kevin, other than the fact that he works as a busboy in [[Mr. Gyro]].{{Refn|name = B23|group = DJW}}
** Kevin's counterpart in [[Nega Ben|Nega Ben's]] timeline is pretty jockish, has bleach blonde hair, and is well-tanned. He is also dating Gwen.{{Refn|name = Nega|group = DJW}} 
**Kevin's counterpart in [[Benzarro|Benzarro's]] reality is missing.{{Refn|name = zarro|group = DJW}}
**It is unknown if a counterpart of Kevin exists in [[Ben Tennyson (Mad Dimension)|Mad Ben's]] [[Mad Ben's Dimension|dimension]].{{Refn|[[:File:Mad Dimension Gwen and Kevin.PNG]]|group = DJW}}
**Kevin's counterpart in the [[Gweniverse]] has not met [[Gwen Tennyson (Gweniverse)|Gwen 10]] yet.{{Refn|name = Gwen 10|group = DJW}}
*In Derrick's opinion, there is no universe where Kevin wields the Omnitrix.{{Refn|[[:File:No Kevin With An Omnitrix.png]]|group = DJW}}
