==Summary==
Kevin Flynn was a gifted computer programmer who, in 1982, developed best-selling video games for ENCOM such as Space Paranoids, Matrix Blaster, Vice Squad, and Light Cycles. As he worked on these games, the code he wrote was stolen by fellow ENCOM programmer Ed Dillinger. Flynn was fired shortly after Dillinger became Executive VP. Later, as the VP of Creative Development, Flynn created TRON - an arcade game based on his experience inside the Computer World alongside the Tron program - and paved the way for ENCOM to become the largest video game company in the world. Meanwhile, Flynn married Jordan Canas and had a son named Sam. Following his wife's death in 1985, Flynn began to focus all of his efforts on creating "a digital frontier to reshape the human condition".
In 1989, Flynn was on the verge of new discovery when he disappeared mysteriously and left behind Sam and his fortune. It wasn't until 2010 that Sam got a tip that led him to his father.

|-|Real World=Genius Intelligence, Hacking (Hacked into ENCOM servers undetected), and Limited Creation (Created the Grid in the Real World through a computer)
|-|Game Grid (TRON)= Same abilities as before. Peak Human Physical Characteristics, Stealth Mastery, Technology Manipulation (Rebuilt a destroyed recognizer), Telekinesis (Stoppped the recognizer he was controlling from being torn apart), Light Manipulation and Absorption (Absorbed and reintegrated a program's circuitry color into himself which then caused the program to derez), Energy Manipulation (Redirected a Power Surge from the MCP and created a new junction), Life Manipulation and Healing (Brought Yori back from the point of deresolution), Vehicular Mastery with Lightcycle
|-|The Grid (Post-TRON)= Should possess the same abilities he has in TRON (1982). Longevity (Despite being in the Grid for 1,050 cycles/years, Flynn aged slower and was physically only older than middle aged come the arrival of his son in 2010), Enhanced Creation and Life Manipulation (Created the Grid within the system and created CLU), Enhanced Technology Manipulation (Can affect the area surrounding him simply by touching the ground. Forced an elevator to emergency stop), Limited Information Analysis, Data Manipulation, and Healing (Inspected Quorra's Disc to heal her amputated arm, altered a program's Disc so that he could pass through safely), Enhanced Absorption and Explosion Manipulation (Absorbed and reintegrated CLU into himself and sacrificed himself to save Sam and Quorra), Shockwave Generation, Enhanced Telekinesis and Air Manipulation (Dragged CLU towards himself), and Limited Dimensional Travel with his Identity Disc (Kevin's Disc, also referred to as the "Master Key", is the only means of traveling back from the Grid to the Real World through the Portal bridging the two)

Attack Potency: Human level, Unknown with Creation (Created the Grid but finished his work inside the system) | Street level (Knocked out a program in one blow) | At least Human level, Unknown, possibly Country level overtime with Creation (Despite us never seeing the process of Flynn creating the Grid, he did create everything within the Grid whilst in the system, which would go on to contain multiple cities, landscapes, islands and seas)
Speed: Average Human | Superhuman (Can expertly drive a Lightcycle) | At least Average Human
Lifting Strength: Average Human | Unknown | At least Average Human, Superhuman with Telekinesis (Overpowered CLU and dragged him towards himself)
Striking Strength: Human level | Street level | At least Human level
Durability: Human level | Street level | At least Human level
Stamina: Average
Range: Standard Melee Range, Several Meters with powers
Standard Equipment: None Notable | Identity Disc
*Optional Equipment: 1st Generation Lightcycle
Intelligence: Extraordinary Genius (Created the Grid, which was so advanced that it began to create it's own life in the form of the ISO's, hacked into ENCOM servers undetected, and claims to have came up with the idea of the internet and Wi-Fi in 1985)
Weaknesses: Normal Human weaknesses. In the Game Grid after redirecting a Power Surge from the MCP it caused Flynn to faint.
Note 1: Despite possessing an Identity Disc in TRON (1982) and TRON: Legacy, he never uses it offensively, which is why the Disc and it's abilities are excluded from his TRON and Post-TRON keys.
Note 2: Derez (short for Deresolution) is a term used to describe someone or something disappearing or dissolving, essentially resulting in deletion. It is a program's equivalent of death or the destruction of a building or vehicle. The opposite of "derez" is Rez, a program's equivalent of birth, or loading/starting a program in the system.
Note 3: Time moves differently in the Grid, as a result a year in the Real World translates to 50 years or cycles in the Grid, making Flynn 1,090 years old by 2010 as he was trapped in the Grid for 21 years.
