Kevin Levin (Earth 1)

**Kevin Levin** is the son of Devin Levin and Pamela Levin.

## Powers and Abilities

### Powers

**Mutant physiology:** Kevin has the ability to absorb the energy and matter of anything (excluding certain materials) through his body at will and utilize it in various ways. If he's not absorbing excessive amounts of matter or biology directly into his body, he becomes wrapped in a coating that leaves his clothes intact. However, if he's wearing a S.W.O.R.D. Suit (Earth 1), the suit will not remain intact.

* **Absorption:** Kevin has the ability to absorb Energy, Matter and DNA and through absorbing DNA the powers of others Individuals.
	+ **Energy Absorption:** After absorbing energy, Kevin can channel energy through his hands to manipulate technology, discharge it as energy blasts, or physically enhance his body to speed up cellular regeneration, increase his strength, or recover from injuries at an accelerated rate. However, the energy will dissipate over time or through excessive use, so he is required to recharge.
		- **Energy Manipulation:**
			* **Energy Blast:** However, if Kevin absorbs energy, the energy will cause Kevin to become mentally unstable. Storing energy for long periods of time will worsen his instability. This mainly occurs in Absorption-based Mutants who absorb energy very often but cannot control it due to inexperience and lack of skill. Energy absorption can sometimes easily turn into an addiction. When Kevin has recently absorbed energy, he develops black marks around his eyes. This is a side effect of absorbing energy.
	+ **Life Force Absorption:**
	+ **Matter Absorption:** Kevin can absorb solid materials, coating himself in the substance which allows him to take on its properties. He will proportionally increase in physical strength and durability to whatever he absorbed.
		- **Matter Manipulation:** Following his second mutation which causes him to lose the ability to revert to his human form, he gradually begins learning how to use his absorbed matter in various new manners. He is able to use high levels of strength and durability as well as regenerative and shape-shifting abilities. After returning to normal, he retained his newfound powers due to him now having knowledge of being able to do so. Kevin can repair objects of the current material he has absorbed either by turning it into a liquid form or releasing a liquid version of whatever material he has absorbed. He can partially merge with the actual matter and manipulate the substance's form. Both abilities were used when he repaired the rock ceiling of a mine, fused the seal of P'andor's suit, morphed it around P'andor, and fused the arms together as makeshift handcuffs. He once used the metal he absorbed to create a helmet for Gwen to prevent the Lucubra from controlling her.
			* **Matter Transformation** Kevin is able to absorb multiple materials at once. He also has the ability to apply to other people a coating of whatever material he has absorbed at the time, temporarily. Depending on the amount of the absorbed material Kevin has available, and how he distributes it, Kevin can either coat his body, or part of it, in the material as a second skin like armor, or completely convert his body, or part of it, into a living version of the material. The amount that Kevin requires depends on the density of the material. This ability has once been used productively when Kevin was forced to synthesize a coating of Taydenite, thus incapacitating him. Kevin can also absorb liquids, 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. If Kevin absorbs an elastic material, he can "sort of" stretch. Initially, he was supposed to create an outer shell with a small amount of material - 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. Kevin is able to absorb the materialistic properties of living beings such as To'kustars, Petrosapiens, Crystalsapiens, and Stone Creatures.
	+ **DNA Absorption:** Similar to his ability to absorb energy, by absorbing the DNA, metabolism, and life force of other life forms, Kevin can use it as nourishment to sustain his health and strength. Absorbing all of someone's energy will kill them.
		- **Power Absorption:** Kevin can use the energy to acquire the creature's powers and undergoes mutation to accommodate the absorbed abilities. Despite complete access to any of these absorbed abilities at any time, they aren't as strong as their pure forms, as noticed by Diamondhead who estimated that they are only about 1/10 their full power, as seen when he was able to catch and crush Kevin's crystals with his bare hands while the others shattered upon hitting him. This is the reason why Aggregor first turned P'andor, Andreas, Bivalvan, Ra'ad and Galapagus into pure energy before he absorbed their powers and abilities, so he could could use their power to their fullest extent. He also stated that when Meta-humans absorb the life force of other beings, the new powers can only be used temporarily unless they were to drain all of that life form's energy.
			* **Limited Mnemokinesis:**
			* **Hybrid Conversion:** This ability can also be used to combine the DNA of two beings, which is what Servantis used Kevin for. Kevin was able to absorb some of Servantis' energy that brought out some past memories. Kevin was able to carry the energy around on his hand and used it on Argit and Alan Albright to bring up their past involvement with the Rooters. Kevin then used this energy to his advantage as he was able to permanently lock out Servantis from the Amalgam Kids' minds.
* **Enhanced Strength:**
* **Enhanced Durability:**

### Skills and Abilities

* **Skilled Hand-to-Hand Combatant:** Even without his absorption powers, Kevin is shown to be stronger than an average human. Even the powerless Kevin was still a fairly proficient fighter and a useful asset to the team. While not to the same extent as aliens like Tetramands, Kevin is capable of lifting/throwing the combined weight of several people with little strain. He is also capable of resisting impacts and blunt force trauma that would severely injure an ordinary person with moderate discomfort.
Kevin has some noticeable skill in brawling which he gained during his years as a runaway, a prisoner in Incarcecon, an alien tech dealer, and a member of A.R.G.U.S.. With his combat skills, he has proven on several occasions to be a highly formidable fighter, having held his own against and defeated opponents such as the Megacruiser robots, and even Vilgax in a one-on-one fight.

* **Expert Mechanic and Engineer:** Kevin is very smart, but his formal education has been erratic. He knows a lot about some things, and absolutely nothing about others. Despite lacking proper normal education, Kevin possesses a vast scientific and technological knowledge of alien paraphernalia. When arguing with Ben that they both cannot use their powers while in their A.R.G.U.S. suits, Kevin stated that he made some alterations to the suits including propelling units and shock pulses.
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 A.R.G.U.S. several hours after the battle, greatly impressing his friends and even gaining a compliment from Max that he could either be an expert police officer or a wanted criminal.
Kevin has good motor skills, being able to race and chase in his car and the Rust Bucket 3. He is considered to be a better pilot than Ben.
Kevin is great at mechanics and engineering. He is shown to repair his car for the numerous damage it took during the course of the years. He also modified his car, setting alien tech for beneficial gears. On top of that, he built the DX Mark 10, a car that he reluctantly gave to Ben as his sixteenth birthday present.
* **Keen Investigative Skills:**
* **Advanced Alien Tech Knowledge:**
* **Animal Companionship:** Kevin is shown to be very good with animals, even without trying. At one point, a Blowfish became strongly attached to Kevin. Despite being well-trained and loyal to Khyber, Zed ultimately chose to join Kevin even after saving him from being crushed.

### Weakness

* Kevin is unable to use his absorption powers in a spacesuit, giving him a major disadvantage in combat.
* The material Kevin absorbs can put him at a disadvantage. For example, absorbing metal makes him vulnerable to electricity whereas absorbing wood makes him vulnerable to fire.
* Kevin is afraid of alligators.

#### Former Weakness

* While Kevin can absorb all sorts of compatible matter, he cannot take too much of it. Such as with Ben's Omnitrix, where he became mentally unstable and lost all accounts of control from all the DNA given to him. However, Kevin later overcame this weakness when he absorbed numerous DNA samples from Ben's new Omnitrix, but completely retained his sanity, albeit faking it to Ben.
