Undertow is the Antitrix's hybridization of a mutated Cascan and an unknown species' DNA[note 1] and Kevin's equivalent to Overflow.
Appearance[]
Undertow is much bulkier than Overflow, with his canisters and tubes filled with swamp green liquid in contrast of regular water. His skin is teal with his lower part and legs being darker. His orange arms are thermos-shaped structures with his grey hands having four lower parts around them and black scissor-like claws. He has black markings around his red eyes and his head has a grey growth with a black opening and red buttons on each side while his back and chest have grey protrusions connected by tubes.
Undertow wears the Antitrix symbol on his chest.
In The Greatest Lake, Undertow wore a hood similar to Hex's.

Powers and Abilities[]
Being part-Cascan, Undertow shares many of the same abilities as Overflow, mainly his hydrokinesis. However, due to the Antitrix's modifications made by Kevin, Undertow instead shoots green swamp water.
Undertow can generate large amounts of water to generate large tidal waves.
Undertow's armored exoskeleton gives him enhanced durability against most types of damage. Additionally, he also displays enhanced strength too.
Undertow can breathe underwater with ease.[1]
Undertow use his water to liquify a surface made of certain elements, like liquifying a surface made of dirt into mud to sink his enemies.[2]
Undertow can produce weapons such as whips using his water.[1]
By propelling himself with his water, Undertow can simulate flight.
Undertow can spew out murky water from his respirator, as demonstrated by AntiVilgax.[3]
Weaknesses[]
Being part-Cascan, Undertow shares many of the same weaknesses as Overflow.
Due to Kevin's alterations to the Antitrix, Undertow is too powerful for the inexperienced Kevin to currently utilize at the fullest.

Notes[]
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 When asked about Dark Matter, Duncan Rouleau replied that he was a "mutation of a Galvan and another species",[DR 1] clarifying that all transformations in the Antitrix were "cross-contaminated"[DR 2] with the exception of Bashmouth.[DR 3] Due to this the wiki considers Kevin's other aliens mutated hybrids.
