He was voiced by Michael Reisz in the episode Kevin 11, Charlie Schlatter for rest of the Original Series and by Greg Cipes in Alien Force, Ultimate Alien and Omniverse.
His Good Ranking[]
What Makes Him Admirable?[]
In General[]
- While Ben might have done more admirable deeds than Kevin, he has far more appearances in both the original show and Omniverse and not to mention wields the Omnitrix, the most powerful weapon in the universe, which means he has far more resources.
Alien Force[]
- After years of being one of Ben's enemies, he joins forces with him and Gwen and ever since then has been redeemed. He always fights by their side now and takes down criminals with them pretty much every day.
- He cares about many people such as his girlfriend Gwen and his former enemy now best friend Ben, as he always hangs out with them regularly and even opens up his feelings to them. He loves Gwen and wants to protect her, and he’s like a big brother to Ben now.
- He was the only one who realized that Michael Morningstar could not be trusted and ends up saving Gwen from him.
- He, Ben and Gwen together save the universe from the Highbreed Invasion, while also being the only heroes on Earth that were uncovering the Highbreed conspiracy.
- When Gwen was about to give her humanity away and become a full alien in order to defeat the Highbreeds, he begs her to not in worry of her losing her humanity.
- He assists Ben in defeating Vilgax when he stole the Omnitrix from him.
Ultimate Alien[]
- He chews out Argit when he doesn’t care about Andreas getting sacrificed.
- When Aggregor was about to eat a baby Alien X, become omnipotent and rule the entire universe, he sacrifices his sanity to stop him and ends up losing control and being turned into a monster again just like when he was a kid because of it.
- When Ben got trapped in the Ultimatrix, he went all the way over to Azmuth’s planet to get help from him. When Azmuth was refusing to help, Kevin pleaded him and spoke up for Ben, giving a speech about how Ben is a hero and even fought one of Azmuth’s guards for it.
- During their final fight with Vilgax and Dagon, when Vilgax nearly manipulates Ben to give in to Ascalon's power, Kevin, along with Gwen and Julie talk him out of it.
Omniverse[]
- He helps Ben stop Malware from conquering Azmuth’s planet.
- He freed the Amalgam Kids from Servantis's control.
- Saved Zed when she was trapped under a boulder and adopted her.
What Makes Him Incosistent?[]
- Even nowadays, Kevin has shown to be rude to people sometimes like constantly picking on and annoying Ben and insulting his enemies.
- He can be very greedy, especially with his obsession with money and even still takes weapons from enemies and sells them to a bidder every time a bad guy is taken down.
- He has shown to be pretty violent and lethal as he loves giving villains brutal beatdowns and even smashed Ben over a bunch of buildings with a car when he lost control as Ultimate Humungousaur, and admits he enjoyed it a little.
- In order to get an engine block for his car, he agreed to marry Princess Looma Red Wind but left her at the altar. He never shows no remorse for neither this nor pawning her off on Ben, the latter action leading to Looma ransacking the Hot Spot later on. He even has a brief moment of hypocrisy by taking offense at her remark that he wasn’t a suitable husband.
