Random: Anyway Yeah The Fact That Kevin Can Absorb, Produce, And To Some Degree Manipulate Solids And

Random: Anyway yeah the fact that Kevin can absorb, produce, and to some degree manipulate solids and apparently plasmids (electricity, presumably generic energy falls into the same category, etc), that his absorbing mud in the comic indicates liquids aren't off the table (seeing as mud is a good bit liquid and that to not take in the liquid as well would leave him working with dirt), that shit is wild. The fact it likely means he can do gases as well, since he can be reasonably assumed to be able to do all the other states of matter, absolutely mindblowing, terrifying shit.

The fact that this comes alongside being able to absorb, store, and utilize the DNA of other species. That he apparently has a fucking DNA repair function built in to facilitate doing this.

Because here's the thing, being able to do states of matter? That's it's own thing. Makes sense, once you've got two, may as well have the set. It works together, nothing more or less than you'd expect. But the DNA thing, the powers thing. That's a whole other category to be working with. Man has parts from critters there's no reason to believe are in the Omnitrix (Null Guardians) so we know that chunk of his powers isn't limited to fucking with the watch. Fucking with the watch may have thrown him into the deep end of it, but it's a perfectly logical assumption that that's just him.

Solids, plasmids, liquids, presumably gases, definitely DNA to gain access to associated shapes and powers.

Kevin can be reasonably assumed capable of absorbing, becoming, producing, possibly manipulating, and passing on to his children anything he can get skin contact with. There's what, one exception that we're shown? With no explanation, it honestly raises more questions than anything else! All with a built-in ability to eventually reset himself with at least the DNA and combinations thereof stored away and able to not only be utilized later as shown with his repeated transformations in Framed but also be passed on.

And all that's before you see him utilize an armor to regrow fucking limbs!

This boy is something. Mutant, alien, eldritch being, flip a coin, boy is something.

ben 10 2006 kevin arc: addicts arent good or bad. they can be kind and good and pure and everything a person 'should' be and circumstances can still align and draw them to addiction. kevin is a sweet kid who wants to make friends and is continually shown to be kind when sober, but even in his very first moments it's seen that his trip can drive him to hurt others and himself. he doesnt have any other choice though, because he couldn't survive without his addiction and the power that it gives him. this is understood, and yet ben's arc is about understanding that no matter how much you may care about an addict or a mentally ill loved one, no matter how many chances you try to give them, there comes a point where it is lethal for you to keep trying to help someone who cannot be helped. Ben gives kevin mercy, tools to help himself, and while their might be animosity about it, he really only wants kevin to be ok but even if you believe in someone with all of your soul, you cannot stay with them if they can't value you in the way you value them. Addiction is not a fault, but it is also not an illness that breeds nice people, and continuing to try and help someone who will hurt you for trying is less helping and more self-flaggelation.

ben 10 ultimate alien kevin arc: hey look at this horrible irredeemable criminal junkie lol. everyone can treat him like shit and ignore his feelings because he was on drugs once, and hes even been to jail!! isnt that horrible? doesnt he deserve to be the narrative punching bag? hes an ADDICT he can take it!! look at him getting off the wagon lol, isnt he awful for that? let's have his girlfriend and best friend call him ugly and have him get molested and enslaved!!! also when dealing with a partner going through a violent relapse its totally cool and romantic to 'believe' in him even when he is actively seeking you out to kill you. you should not distance yourself and get yourself to safety because thats LOVE and you can FIX him and ONLY YOU CAN DO THAT. we are a progressive show that has progressive politics

(these are my own interpretations btw i cant argue for intent only what i took away from it. but uaf's botched 'progressiveism' grates on me heavily when even ogs's villians are treated with more sympathy about factors out of their control than one og the teen main characters. ill make a seperate post about botched themes and whitewashing of actual issues later but focusing on this rn bc this is what made kevin resonate with me in the first place and i hate how they botched it)
