Physical Appearance
In the web series, Kevin is described by Fred to be overweight and sweaty. This is likely an exaggeration or slander drawn from Fred and Kevin's rivalry. This is also reflected in a drawing of him Fred had created, which additionally implies that he has dark brown hair.

In the movies and the show, he is more fleshed out as a character and with additional details on his family and background. His parents are divorced and he lives with his mom who has appeared in the first two movies and in the show. He also has a younger sister named Thalia who appeared in the second movie. It has also been revealed in the TV show that Kevin and Fred used to be childhood best friends, a stark contrast from their history on the original web series.
Personality
In the web series, Kevin seems to be an obnoxious kid who always makes an effort to bully Fred for whatever he's doing, whether it be swimming (Fred Goes Swimming) or camping inside his own house (Fred Goes Camping).
