Devlin Levin (Ult. Timeline)

Devlin Levin is the son of Kevin Levin and Gwendolyn Levin, as well as the best friend of Ken Tennyson. His most famous appearance was that of canon, 'Ken 10. 'Unknown to most, there is a hidden history concerning him. He is an Osmosian, a human mutant from the planet Earth.

Appearance
Devlin bears a striking resemblance to Kevin when he was his age. He is tall for his age, and has long black hair pulled back in a straight ponytail with the sides of his head shaved. He also has dark blue eyes and pale skin. He wears a dark gray short sleeved hoodie, a black long sleeved shirt, black pants, black and white shoes and a bandage around his right thigh. Underneath his eyes are black markings, a feature due to his Osmosian heritage.

It's revealed that underneath his baggy clothes is a frail and malnourished figure, likely due to the "rough childhood" with Kevin Levin. Underneath the bandage on his thigh, is a rather large scar that has improperly healed over time.

While in his mutated form, not much is different from Kevin's appearance during his first mutation except that his hair is slightly longer, wears black pants and his maxillary fangs can be seen when his mouth is closed.

Personality
Growing up under the risqué tutelage of Kevin Levin alone has left Devlin socially awkward and psychologically scarred. He is untrusting of anyone who isn't the Tennyson clan or his mother, Gwendolyn. He is currently unsure of how to interact with Gwendolyn, due to 11 years of being separated from her. But he is warming up to her, as he is with few others. He is especially trusting around Ken Tennyson and his father, Ben 10,000.

Due to his childhood, Devlin was forced to be independent, therefore refuses help from others. This frequently puts him at odds with Gwendolyn's "mothering". Devlin is not one to play tactful, and gets right to the point, even if crudely. Due to Kevin's teachings, Devlin is aware of things no child should be aware. Such as the "popping sound" when breaking one hand. He also believes to only help others when a reward is in play.

Like his father, Devlin is pretty inept with any mechanical and technological, being almost a genius savant when mechanics are concerned. As seen when he is modifying his hover board. It is later revealed that Kevin taught him how to tinker with tech, as well as to "not blow himself up".

Due to Kevin's raising, Devlin views himself a monster, especially when concerning his mutant form. Believes himself to be the beast that nearly killed his mother when he was an infant. As result, Devlin has poor self-esteem issues. He is aware that Osmosian become insane through absorption, and ponders his own sanity due to being born with his other abilities.

Ultimately, Devlin hates being compared to his father, as well as distances himself from the now reformed Kevin Levin, not trusting him one bit.

Powers and Abilities
As an Osmosian, Devlin has his mutant abilities, inherited from his father. His primary ability being able to shapeshift from human form to Devlin 11 (a copy of Kevin's original mutation) at will and he gains all of the powers Kevin had in this form. Thanks to his father's training, Devlin is able to use multiple abilities in tandem in combat.

As stated before, Devlin is a technical savant akin to his father. He is capable of using and modifying various forms of technology and machines. He has casually shown that he can modify his hover board, and recently has shown that he can adapt a weapons system aboard such.

It is later revealed that he is, or rather was, capable of absorbing energy. Especially back in his infancy, when it was used as form of consumption. Although Kevin has gone to lengths to ensure that Devlin ''forgot how to use it! ''This pretty rendered said ability dormant for now.

Due to being raised among criminals such as father, Devlin claims to have a "sixth sense" that allows him to known when he's being watched. Whether or not if this is an actual ability, or his own paranoia, is up for debate.

Weaknesses
Primarily shown to be a weakness for Devlin is the psychological scarring left on his psyche by Kevin. Devlin's problems have caused him further hardships as he attempts to adapt to normal society for his mother's sake. He currently goes to therapy for these issues.

Physically speaking, any weaknesses concerning the multiple alien portions of his mutant form afflict him as well. I.e., sound-based attacks can damage his Petrosapien limb, water can harm his Pyronite limb, etc. A primary one being that he can't fly with his Lepidoterran wings if they are wet and/or damaged.

Another noted weakness is his forgotten ability of absorption, due to his father's handiwork. One could say that forgetting such is a hindrance in combat. Providing an inability to absorb energy, and/or even matter. If he were to rediscover this and begin using such, it would risk him obtaining mental instability.

Biography
Devlin was a problem for his parents even before he was even born. Being a offspring of two contrasting heritages, an Osmosian and an Anodite. One absorbs energy, the other is made of it. Kevin immediately didn't like the risk provided, but Gwendolyn was going to have this baby anyway. Even if it'd kill her. And certainly, it almost did.

Even in the womb, Devlin was already energy Gwendolyn from within for sustenance. Kevin immediately wanted Devlin out of her, but she refused such. Kevin was worried that his own offspring would kill the woman he loved. And the image provided by the ultrasound only worsen said fears. The image showing that Gwendolyn was gonna give birth to a carbon copy of his worse self.

Even after Devlin was born, the issues still occurred. Devlin was draining energy from everything he touched, especially Gwendolyn. But Gwendolyn wasn't caring. She would die for her child. But Kevin wasn't having it. He would do whatever he had to do to save his wife. Even separating her from their child.

One day, Kevin abducted Devlin, planning on taking him away to protect Gwendolyn. A fight occurred between Kevin and Ben 10,000, trying to prevent it. The fight resulting in Kevin absorbing from Ben's Omnitrix once more. Becoming his former self, and the worse thing to father Devlin all his life.

Devlin was raised by Kevin in drastic environments, and being taught in his ways. Criminal activities, survival of the fittest, and that being constantly told that he was a monster. A monster that nearly killed his mother, and had to be kept from her. This would be the path of Devlin's abusive childhood.

On one occasion, being of Devlin accompanying Kevin's arms dealing on an unknown planet, supplying arms to armies. One deal went south, leaving Kevin without a profit. In a fit of rage, Kevin attacked Devlin, his right leg injuries by Kevin's claws. The wound would heal improperly over time.

Eventually Kevin would end up in the Null Void, resulting in Devlin to perform a plan to get him back. This plan included befriending Ken, son of Ben 10,000, to find the means to release Kevin. Only for Kevin to reject him, going on a rampage against Ben 10,000. This resulted in Devlin to help the Tennyson clan imprison him and turn to them. This would result in him being reunited with his mother, Gwendolyn.

Reunited with his mother, now living with her, Devlin is striving to adapt to society, for her sake. His friendship with his cousin, Ken, certainly helps progress forward. He was disapproving of his mother's project of reforming his father, but knew he couldn't stop her. He currently distances himself from his reformed father, and continues to stay with his mother.

Family
Kevin Levin (Father) - Devlin's relationship with Kevin in the past was pretty much borderline abusive. Before his reformation by Gwendolyn, Devlin was one to suggest to Ben 10,000 that killing his father would be the best option. The only reason Devlin stayed by his father's side at first was due to familiarity and continuous survival. Devlin also hates to be compared to Kevin's youth, resenting the man.

Gwendolyn Levin (Mother) - After finally getting to meet her, Devlin does love his mother, even if he is unsure on how to interact with her. Due to the decade of separation, Devlin can't help but look at her like a stranger, even forgetting to call her "mom" on occasion. Ultimately, he does love his mother, but simply wishes that she wasn't hung up on his father.

Tennyson Family (Ben & Kai) - Devlin partially views the Tennyson's as a second home. For they were the ones to care for him until he was reunited with Gwendolyn days after their battle. Devlin tends to view Ben as a surrogate father, for he is the exact opposite of the father that had raised him. He has a mixed viewing of Kai, due to her frequent absence.

Friends
Ken Tennyson (Friend/Cousin) - At first a ploy to infiltrate the Tennyson HQ, Devlin and Ken's friendship pretty much became real. The two are constantly interacting with each other, even when "playing hero". One would forget that they were simply cousins, and believe them to brothers. Though friendship through and through, Devlin does envy the happy family that Ken has.

Other
Zed (family pet) - Long over the years, Zed has remained the pet of the Levin household. Zed is actually quite frighten of Devlin. This irritates him for she is frighten of him, yet she adores Kevin. This would go on unexplained until it was revealed that Devlin tried to absorb her when he was a baby.
