Devin Levin was an Osmosian, a Plumber and the father of Kevin Levin.
Devin was a Plumber stationed on Earth and the partner of Max Tennyson. According to Max, Devin was an energetic young fellow. He was killed by Ragnarok.
Devin's background has not been touched-upon much, no details have been revealed about his life before his career as a Plumber, and no mention of his family other than his son and his wife has been brought-up yet.
Devin was first mentioned in If All Else Fails, and, so-far, has only appeared in a photograph and in a flashback in Vendetta. Max describes Devin as "energetic" and "likable."
In appearance, Devin was outwardly indistinguishable from a human. The same is true for Kevin and other Osmosians that are not fully mature (Dwayne McDuffie confirmed that Osmosians live for hundreds of years and it is at least a century before an Osmosian is fully mature, they also grow small horns on their head) and Devin lacks horns on his head (it's possible he has them, but they are hidden in his hair, or Osmosians can breed before being mature). He also spoke with a notable English accent.
Devin deeply loved his family was very self-sacrificing, and considered the planet Earth to be his home.

When none of his or Max's weapons were effective against Ragnarok, Devin was forced to absorb electricity to buy them some time. While Devin was able to retain his sanity (due to his experience), Ragnarok managed to prevent Max from using a
