Ken's the coolest guy in the world.

Gwen praising Ken.[4]

Ken "Kenny" Tennyson is Gwen's older brother, and Frank and Natalie's son.

Appearance[]

Ken is a tall young adult male with green eyes and red hair. He wears a blue jacket with a white shirt underneath. He also has brown pants and white shoes with black accents.

Personality[]

Ken is a kind and good-natured young man. He is rather brave, as he showed almost no fear when he fought the DNAliens with Ben's team and when he yelled at a Highbreed to release his grandfather Max, although he was still very confused about everything as he knew nothing about the aliens.

During his short time as a DNAlien, Ken was harsh and violent, having no sympathy for his own family as he electrocuted Max unconscious and tried to attack his sister Gwen and cousin Ben in a fight. After he was restored to his human form, Ken was apologetic for his actions.

History[]

Alien Force[]

In his only appearance, he was abducted by DNAliens in Santa Mira after they sabotaged his ride, the Awesome-mobile in order to flush Max out of hiding, as he was slowing down their operations on Earth.

Ken's failure to regularly contact his parents led to his disappearance coming to the attention of his younger sister, Gwen, and cousin, Ben. After being traced to his last known location, Ken's trail was first followed by Max, who tracked him down to a Xeno Hatcheries. Ken, having previously known nothing about his grandfather's former life as a Plumber, was questioned by a DNAlien for information, but having already known that Ken knew nothing, the DNAlien placed a Xenocite onto Ken's face, which began to convert him into a DNAlien.

When Max infiltrated Xeno Hatcheries to free Ken, Ken was already partially converted into a DNAlien and attacked his own grandfather for the Highbreed. When Ben, Gwen, and Kevin infiltrated Xeno Hatcheries having followed Max's trail, they were ambushed by a swarm of DNAliens, Ken among them. When Gwen saw her brother almost completely changed into a DNAlien, she restrained him and prevented him from being attacked by Ben and Kevin, who had not recognized him yet.

At Ben's confirmation, Ben and the Omnitrix together restored Ken to his human form. Alongside the others, Ken aided them in rescuing Max, who revealed that he'd been keeping up to date with all of their experiences since his disappearance. While Max went to shut down Xeno Hatcheries, Ken helped the others destroy the DNAliens shipment of Xenocite eggs.

When Max seemingly sacrificed himself to bring down the Highbreed in charge of the operation with a makeshift Null Void grenade, Ken was present at his grandfather's apparent death.
