Kevin Ethan Levin, also known as Kevin Levin, Kevin 11 and Kev, is one of the main characters from the Ben 10 series.
== Charactah Account ==
Kevin is an Osmosian and a member of Ben's Team and Gwen's boyfriend.
Due to his complicated childhood and abilities, as a child, Kevin exhibited sociopathic tendencies, such as attempting to derail a money train, even though it'd kill countless passengers on another train. Kevin had an extremely negative outlook on life because of his countless hardships and struggles, feeling insecure about himself as well as having an incredibly low self-esteem. He had a deep-rooted hatred for other people and society in general. He was paranoid 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!".
While changing for the better, Kevin still sometimes shows a delinquent side, seen when he attempts to sell the Rust Bucket to Vulkanus for alien technology, albeit technology he intended to give to Ben, conspires with Argit to sell weapons to both sides of a warring alien race, and even pawns Princess Looma on Ben to get out of his engagement. Despite this side of Kevin, Ben and especially Gwen still greatly trust him.

== Trivia ==
* Kevin watched Captain Planet and The X-Files when he was younger.
* In Alien Force and Ultimate Alien, Kevin lived in an apartment in Bellwood. He sometimes slept at his mother's house, which he bought for her, and his main garage was there. However, in Omniverse, Kevin lives in a garage in the same area as Friedkin University.
* Kevin is keeping the Taydenite Car. He rebuilt his old car and uses the Taydenite only when he needs some money.
* Kevin and Gwen are famous on Earth, just not nearly as famous as Ben. Dwayne McDuffie compared their level of fame to that of American television personality Gayle King.
** However, Kevin is still very famous in space.
* Mrs. Levin used to read The Princess Bride to Kevin when he was younger.
* The Alien Force crew knew how Kevin escaped the Null Void, but the story was never revealed in an episode.
** However, a hint was given in Plumbers' Helpers after Ben as Swampfire escaped the Null Void.
* When Kevin was in the Null Void, he had an alien pet that he called a dog. 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.
* Kevin had a few girlfriends prior to Alien Force.
* 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.
* Kevin was about five when Devin died. This has since been retconned in Omniverse, as it is revealed that Devin was a fake memory created by Servantis.
* Kevin's real father was abusive to him.
** After defeating the Rooters, Kevin regained his memories of his real father.
* In Alien Force and Ultimate Alien, Kevin needed a lot of whatever he copied to use his matter absorption powers. This is retconned in Omniverse, as he is shown coating his entire body with small amounts of material.
* Kevin was the first non-family member that Ben shared his secret with.
* Kevin was portrayed differently in two different stages of production during the Original Series. In one stage, the creators intended for Kevin to be a mutant. Kevin's backstory was changed in Omniverse to make things more in line with this concept.
** In the second stage, 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 reboot.
* Kevin's Original Series design was made by Dave Johnson.
* 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.
** 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. The former was the first character design he ever got approved.
* Kevin's Omniverse design was created by Derrick J. Wyatt.
* Kevin wears wholesters in Omniverse because his voice actor, Greg Cipes, wears them too.
* The out-of-universe reason for Kevin adopting Zed is due to Greg Cipes' love of animals. Early on, there were some thoughts of an Earthling dog for Kevin.
* A running gag in the series is Kevin becoming distraught every time his car gets damaged or destroyed during combat or miscellaneous events. The Rust Bucket 3 has also become a part of this running gag.
* Kevin is the first villain from the Original Series to return in Alien Force.
* It was Derrick's idea to give Kevin his scar in Omniverse.
* An alternate counterpart of Kevin does not exist in Rex's home universe. This was proven true during Ben's visit there, as he hypothesized that Kevin may not exist on Rex's Earth.
** Little to nothing is known of Dimension 23's Kevin, other than the fact that he works as a busboy in Mr. Gyro.
** Kevin's counterpart in Nega Ben's timeline is pretty jockish, has bleach blonde hair, and is well-tanned. He is also dating Nega Ben's version of Gwen.
** Kevin's counterpart in Benzarro's reality is missing.
** It is unknown if a counterpart of Kevin exists in Mad Ben's dimension.
** Kevin's counterpart in the Gweniverse has not met Gwen 10 yet.
* There is no universe where Kevin wields the Omnitrix.
