Harvey Hackett is the second husband of Mrs. Levin and the step-father of Kevin Levin. He first appears in Absolute Power: Part 2.

BackstoryEdit

After the death of Devin Levin, Kevin's mother was widowed. Some time later, Mrs. Levin met Harvey and the two married, according to him, Kevin was four years old when they married, meaning it happened 13 years prior to Ultimate Alien. In a sense, this was just her part in giving Kevin a needed father figure, a decision that would later backfire. During that time, Harvey was made aware of the Levin family's secret; Kevin and his father are Osmosians. Though he loved Mrs. Levin, he accepted that she would never love him as much as she loved Devin and Kevin and had a great level of respect for Devin.

Kevin's relationship with Harvey was turbulent at best. Kevin not only saw Harvey as a replacement for his real father, but as an obstacle for his mother's love. Harvey, despite accepting and raising Kevin as his own son, was afraid of him because of his powers - something that Kevin always suspected, which worsened their relationship.

The boiling point made its mark when Kevin somehow absorbed energy and demolished their old home (possibly an accident, although Kevin doesn't seem to recall the incident clearly). After that, Kevin became mentally unstable because of the energy and, coupled with the destruction of their house, as well as his initial dislike of Harvey, made himself believe that Harvey convinced Mrs. Levin to reject him. Taking this as a form of abandonment, Kevin ran away.

Harvey's activities after that incident remained unknown, although along the way Harvey might have regretted his earlier prejudice against Kevin. It is also unknown exactly when and how Kevin came back into their lives after he was restored to human form and escaped the Null Void. Even after reconciling with his mother, Kevin still wasn't fond of Harvey.

Kevin's dislike of Harvey was made even more clear when he was Ultimate Kevin. When Harvey tried to intervene with Ultimate Kevin's madness, Kevin vents his rage at him for taking his real father's place and convincing his mother to kick him out into the street after the accident years earlier. Although Harvey made it frankly clear that Kevin misunderstood everything that happened; further owing to Kevin's instability at the time.

TriviaEdit

• Harvey's facial features resemble Oliver Thompson's.
• According to Dwayne, Mrs. Levin and Harvey are separated.
• Kevin seems to hold a grudge on Harvey as seen in Absolute Power: Part 2.
  • This is because Kevin thought Harvey was trying to replace his real father and saw him as an obstacle for his mother's love.
    • It is currently unknown if Kevin still holds a grudge or reconciled after Absolute Power: Part 2.
• Harvey's head and a bit of his face resembles Mayor Coleman's.
• It is interesting to note that Ultimate Kevin threatened to kill Harvey with electricity out of all the powers he could of used.
  • Considering that Kevin preferred absorbing electricity when he was eleven and that, appearance-wise, electrical attacks are most similar to Kevin's during the original series, it is strongly hinted that Harvey was afraid of Kevin because of his powers and that it was likely it was electricity that Kevin had used to destroy his home.
