Kevin Keene
Kevin Keene is the titular main-character of the animated series Captain N: The Game Master.
In the beginning of the cartoon, Kevin and his dog (Duke) are sucked through their television set into Videoland, where NES-games form their own worlds. In this world Kevin is endowed with his Zapper and Power Pad and becomes the leader of the N-Team, formed out of the video-game characters Simon Belmont (of Castlevania), Mega Man, Kid Icarus (known in the game as Pit), Princess Lana, the heir to the throne of Videoland and in the show's second season, the mischeavous Game Boy. His primary nemesis is Metroid's Mother Brain, assisted by Dr. Wily, King Hippo and the Eggplant Wizard and occasionally other videogame villains.
Kevin is often said to be a teenager, and though his age is never specified, he is suspected to be around 15 years of age (as per a "Nintendo Power" article that previewed the series), and that in one episode, he says he doesn't have his driver's license yet. He has brown hair and dresses in a white and red jacket with an N symbol on the left side of it (for Northridge High School, in Northridge, California) over a yellow T-shirt. He usually wears blue jeans and sneakers. He is a good leader, but occasionally clashes with the extremely vain and selfish Simon. He is often said to be the romantic interest of Lana, but due to the nature of the show they are never shown to have a very conclusive relationship. This is why Simon often tries to make Lana fall in love with him, but usually ends up embarrassing himself.
Powers and Abilities
Kevin's primary weapon is the Zapper which he uses to dematerialize villainous characters. He also has a Power-Pad, shaped like a NES controller which gives him an array of special abilities when he presses the buttons on it. Pressing the D-pad he is able to move quickly side-ways or jump extremely high. Pressing Select or Start he is able to freeze everyone around him. The over-all function of the Power Pad however appears to depend on the whim of the writers.
Kevin also has an extensive knowledge of NES games which often helps him and his friends on their adventures. One game he was never able to beat is "The Adventures of Bayou Billy" and thus needs Billy's help when he becomes stranded in Bayou Land in one episode.
