Kevin Striker
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kevin Striker is a video game character in the game Street Fighter 2010.
Kevin is a cyborg cop in the year 2010 AD in service of the Galaxy Police (Grave Crimes division), codenamed Type Valentine MX-5 (MX-5 for short). Armed with an energy bullet, his mission is to erradicate out of control parasites and their mutated hosts, gather their power, and proceed through to the next world.
Feeling pain everytime he gets hurt (something he shouldn't feel as a cyborg) and that "something is crawling around inside of him", he finds out ultimately that he is one of the parasites himself. Dr. Joseph, who was one of the researches behind the parasites, had created Kevin in order to use him as a weapon to control the universe, led along this path to gain more and more power. Refusing to be used in such a manner, he fights against the doctor, and then is left to ponder his fate.
At the end of the game, he receives a message from headquarters, telling him Earth is being overrun by terrorist cyborgs. Debating the matter in his mind for a moment, he chooses to continue fighting, and returns to Earth.
[edit] Kevin vs. Ken Masters
To cash in on the Street Fighter name some more, Capcom USA went out of their way to change the story, and change Kevin's name to Ken. According to the US game's intro, Ken turned himself into a cyborg to make up for the gap between his time as "king of the street fighter circuit" to now (a gap of exactly 25 years given by the game, which would have meant Ken had won the first Street Fighter tournament, when it was actually Ryu that had done so). The character's story was further altered to have him as the creator of the "cyboplasm" responsible for the mutants in the game, and a dead partner named Troy. This rewrite by Capcom USA has resulted in a lot of confusion over the years, with many people believing that this was indeed Ken, and not realizing this is a separate character entirely.
