Rush is the Antitrix's cross-contaminated DNA sample of a Kineceleran[note 1] and Kevin's equivalent to XLR8.
Appearance
Rush bears similarities to XLR8, except his appearance is akin to an armored roller skater. His skin is light green. His forearms, torso, head, shoulders and tail are covered in green armor while his back sports dorsal fins. He has a conoid helmet which exposes his red eyes and a separate line where his mouth should be. His hands have three claws and his elbows and legs are spiky.
In Wheels of Fortune, Rush wore a yellow Sumo Slammers 2 T-shirt with a blue collar and sleeves.
Rush wears the Antitrix symbol on his chest.
Powers and Abilities
Being part-Kineceleran, Rush shares the same abilities as XLR8, such as enhanced speed, agility and reflexes.
Rush is able to achieve speeds up to 888 miles per hour, though the feat caused him visible strain.[2]
Rush has enhanced strength, being able to carry heavy loads of items at once and other heavy objects.[3]
Rush's strength allows for him to deliver a multitude of speed-enhanced attacks, such as punches, in brief and rapid succession.[4]
Rush is able to achieve speeds that are sufficient to create after-images of himself, making it appear like he is in multiple locations at once.[4]
Weaknesses

Stamina/Speed Limit
Being part-Kineceleran, Rush shares many of the same weaknesses as XLR8, such as his speed being drastically affected by strong adhesives or his tail holding him down in place.
Despite his enhanced speed, Rush can only run to a limited extent for so long or for so fast before showing strain or fatigue.[2]
Rush's reflexes do not appear to be on the same level as Arburian Pelarotas, as Cannonbolt was able to catch his fists before he could punch him.[4]
Due to Kevin's alterations to the Antitrix, Rush is too powerful for the inexperienced Kevin to currently utilize to the fullest.

Notes
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 Duncan Rouleau initially stated all transformations in the Antitrix were "cross-contaminated" with other species.[DR 1][DR 2] However, the crew was just told that they are just "special messed up Kevin versions (or "Kevin-ified" versions) of [Ben's] aliens."[KT 1][KT 2] The merchandise also used similar language, such as "Kev-ified" to describe Antitrix transformations.[Playmates 1] Kelly Turnbull interpreted Duncan's statements as meaning "they're all getting little bits of DNA sloshed together, not necessarily two aliens spliced directly together."[KT 2]
