History

Kevin was a young mutant who was kept locked away from the outside world by his mother Moira out of fear of what Kevin would do with his powers.

Kevin took off in search for his father; not knowing the truth and craving for his father's love, he blamed his mother Moira for not giving his father a chance. He then attacked Professor X, Rogue, Moira, Wolverine, and Beast when they tried subduing him, defeating them and making Wolverine experience death, which caused Logan a great deal of psychological damage.

Moira told Professor X that Kevin's father, Joseph did not want him because he was a mutant. Professor X and the X-Men confronted Joseph himself, but he had refused to listen and was only bothered about people finding out that he was Kevin's father because he was a mutant. Rogue was set to protect Joseph and she had heard his speech about loving children, therefore; triggering her to remember her past; when her father had rejected her; due to her being a mutant. Kevin had arrived at the hall, and had attacked both Rogue and Beast as Joseph left.

Professor X had tried to reason with Kevin and he had blamed the Professor for keeping Joseph away from him. Wolverine had arrived in time to save Professor X and Beast. Professor X had tried to contact Kevin mentally and told him that he can help him, but Kevin had insisted on seeing his father. Moira said they had tried to reason with him enough and told them she needs to do something about it now. Kevin had arrived at another speech of Joseph's, saying that he had wanted Joseph to love him, but Joseph said that he was a trick and trying to ruin him.

Kevin MacTaggert

Joseph told him to leave and Kevin got so mad that he lost control. Professor X had managed to stop him by using his psychic powers, calming Kevin down, he had returned to his human form and got a hug from Moira. Joseph had arrived, apologized to Kevin and the two had reconciled.

Notes

• Voiced by Stuart Stone.
• Kevin MacTaggert had his reality warping and possession powers, but he also had the ability to change himself back into his human form as well, a power he did not have in the comics. Also, when he took over people's bodies, it did not kill them like it did in the comics, it only weakened them. Proteus himself was somewhat humanized and much less evil; he was a violent, unstable, 17-year-old adolescent with a child-like mentality and little grasp on reality (Moira kept him practically locked in her center for years), and at a certain moment he even saved a young man from being beaten up by a gang of bullies.
