Kevin (Despicable Me 2)

Kevin (temporarily known as Sir Kevin) is one of the more notable Minions of the Despicable Me franchise. He appears in Despicable Me 2, Despicable Me 3, Training Wheels, the prequel films Minions and Minions: The Rise of Gru (and the protagonist of these two), Minions Paradise, and Minions Oscars Segment 2016. A minion by the same name, having a different appearance, appears in the first film.

Appearance
Kevin is a tall, two-eyed minion with sprout cut hair and is usually seen wearing his golf apparel.

Personality
Kevin loves to make fun of and tease people or Minions, shown when he made fun of Jerry and teased him for being a coward. He likes playing golf polo and cricket. Kevin has a sense of humor, shown when he thought it was hilarious to see Tom turn into a mutant purple minion, but then immediately showed a cautious side when he realized that he was next to be a victim. In the film Minions, he is the protagonist and leader of the trio in search of a new master. He truly cares about the well-being of the Minion tribe (which is dependent on them having a proper master).

Despicable Me 2
Kevin and Jerry are asked to watch the girls. After Jerry sang them a lullaby, they play golf. The ball is planted on Jerry's mouth and Kevin planned to hit Jerry on the head, but is interrupted by a noise. Terrified, Kevin and Jerry tried to check what is causing the noise but it was just a cat looking through the garbage. Kevin laughed at Jerry for being a coward which caused Jerry to start a fight with him. A light shone from above interrupted their fight, and Kevin left Jerry abducted and waved goodbye to Jerry. After Jerry is abducted, Kevin struggled to save himself from having the same fate as Jerry. However, he failed his attempt to do so and they both floated to the air and disappeared.

He is then shown at the Beach with the other kidnapped minions. Later, he is brought to El Macho's Secret Lab and is transformed into an evil minion using the PX-41 serum after Tom.

After Gru left Eduardo's mansion with the girls, Eduardo unlocked Kevin to find Gru. The next day, he broke into Gru's house which scared away Kyle and frightened Margo and Agnes. When he is about to eat Agnes' unicorn toy, Agnes screamed loudly which stunned Kevin and caused all the glass in the house to shatter. While Margo and Agnes reached Gru's laboratory safely and met with Edith, Kevin fell into the laboratory from the top. However before he proceeded to attack, he was reverted back into a normal minion by Dr. Nefario, using the PX-49. Delighted to have Kevin back, Minions piled on top of him with joy for his return. Kevin later went with the girls, Dr. Nefario, and other Minions to El Macho's Lair in order to revert the Evil minions back to their regular forms.

In the end, Kevin, along with his friends Stuart, Dave, and Jerry, are all dressed in white, singing "I Swear" at Gru and Lucy's wedding.

He appears during the credits promoting the spin-off movie, Minions, along with his friends Bob and Stuart.

Minions
Kevin steps up for the entire Minion tribe for the search of a new master, after the tribe is in peril. He recruits Stuart and (grudgingly) Bob for this mission. Kevin sometimes wore Bob along the way. Halfway on the boat, Kevin notices Bob's stomach rumbling loudly from hunger and whimpering. And he realizes that Bob was hungry. Stuart begins to hallucinate, thinking Kevin and Bob are bananas, and tries to eat them. Bob then sucks on Kevin's head and he pushes them both, trying to stop them. However they realize they made it to New York City.

The Minions' coats were too heavy and hot, so they were looking for something to separate for three minions, but they finally found their legendary denim suits - overalls.

When he, Stuart, and Bob need a ride, they try hitchhiking after they watch a hippie do it successfully. At first, they fail twice at it, but then they hitch a ride with the Nelson family, who also happens to be heading to Villain-Con at Orlando. During the ride, he and Tina Nelson are looking at the latter's magazine, and she introduces him to Scarlet Overkill.

During Villain-Con, when he first sees Scarlet Overkill, he starts to fantasize about Scarlet declaring him and the trio as the best henchmen that could ever exist; after Bob wins Scarlet's challenge (by accidentally swallowing her Ruby), he introduces himself, Stuart and Bob to her as the Minions. In London, he is given a Lava Lamp Gun by Herb Overkill to steal the Queen Elizabeth's ll crown. Kevin manages to sneak the Minions into the Tower of London, but are stopped by Beefeaters. Luckily, Stuart successfully changes their behavior, but they are soon stopped by the old Blind Tower Guard. Soon, the crown is taken away and used by Queen Elizabeth II, so they follow the queen's carriage and eventually crash in a nearby park. Succeeding Bob's coronation, he is seen playing Polo and Cricket at the Buckingham Palace with the Corgi and Athletes (Only they played polo)

He hits the cricket ball against the door for Corgi.

The ball hits Scarlet's eye, and Corgi herself attacks, licks her. But she tosses the Corgi dog back to the floor.

When Scarlet finds out what has happened, he offers the crown to her in an attempt to appease her, but he and the others are still sent to be tortured. He, Stuart, and Bob escape from the torture chamber, and arrive at Scarlet's coronation, but the later two accidentally drop a chandelier over her. Scarlet, mad, sends other villains to persecute them. Kevin is the only Minion who manages to escape and later finds Queen Elizabeth II in a bar. Subsequently being threatened by Scarlet on the news to kill his friends, Kevin runs to her castle to find a way to save them. He activates Herb's ultimate weapon, and enlarges himself, which later helps to save Stuart and Bob. The villainess faces the giant Kevin, shooting numerous bursts from the Lava Lamp Guns on her dress but misses Kevin, Stuart and Bob. She sights the Minion tribe and shoots at them, cutting off their escape. As she prepares to finish them off, however, Kevin is able to punch her through two buildings and into a third, temporarily knocking her out. She recovers and manages to send a missile at the Minion tribe, but Kevin catches and swallows the missile and tries to stop the Overkills from escaping, seemingly sacrificing himself to blow them up. He survives the explosion and reverts to his original size but his clothes don't, so he's merely in his underwear and his denim overalls act as a parachute. He eventually bumps into Lord Nelson's statue, which stops him.

At the end, Kevin is knighted by Queen Elizabeth; seeing how a young Gru stops Scarlet from stealing the crown once again, he and other Minions start to call him their "new boss" and follow Gru towards the movie's end.
