No, they REMOVED the source of kevin's powers, so hes just has them. That is NOT an explanation. Hes like a Marvel Xman, with no explanation of powers, while the Xmen at least have an "xgene" that is the source of their powers.

The Plumber/Amalgam Kid's had the source of their powers changed. That was odd as 2 of them had permanent full-forms, 1 had a half form, and the 4th could switch between human and alien form.

There are two kinds of retcons in fiction. Contrictory and non-contrictory.

the Non-contrictory kind is often done in the form of flashbacks and fill in the gaps. Alien Force/Ultimate aliens does this a few times, such as the explanation for Kevin and Gwen powers being that theyre alien-hybrids.

The Contradictory kind overwrite previous facts to create a retroactive continuity. The Rooters Arc does this and its the point where I stop suspending my disbelief of the errors and overwriting. I was Ok with the Malware Arc, which put in flashbacks of an 11year old Ben, but that didnt contradict Alien Force.

Will Harrangue got off incredibly mild for his crimes. Its not mentioned how many people DIED in the Incursean invasion of Earth. After World War 2 n the Nuremberg Trials, many people where sentenced to life in prison or death. That wasnt enough for many people around the world as they would punish or murder any collaborators. Getting your head shaved or tattooed was a light punishment for french collaborators.
