Biography
Kevin Green
His activities led to the media taking notice of him as one of the newest Ultrahumans and among the most mysterious of them. (Prime v1 #1)
He then responded to an incident in Somalia where he fought the terrorists who directed all firepower at him. At first, he managed to be unharmed but the constant weapon fire caused damage to his skin causing his body to dissolve. This caused Prime to rush back to the United States to his home where he had to break free from his body-like cocoon. (Prime v1 #1) Emerging from his body, Kevin arrived at his home and collapsed at his door with his parents worried about what happened to him though he lied by stating he did not know what happened to him. (Prime v1 #2)
At John F. Kennedy Junior High School in Canoga Park, California, Prime made his first public appearance, confronting coach Meyer, telling him he knew what he had been doing to the girls he coached, assaulting and threatening him to force him to stop. When Meyer tried to fight back, Prime inadvertently broke his left arm. Before he left, Prime told Kelly that he was her protector. Prime smashed through the roof of a drug dealer's house, telling them not to deal in his neighborhood or anywhere else. The dealers attacked him with various firearm, but Prime defeated them all. The head dealer obtained a small sample of the liquid that leaked from Prime after he had been shot. Doc Gross and Duey interviewed Coach Meyer and the drug dealer, getting the details on their encounters with Prime. Upon learning the dealer had a sample of Prime, Gross had the dealer slain so he could take the sample for himself. While Gross watched a TV report, Prime flew to the rebel-held relief station near Baigane, Solmalia and assisted the United Nation troops against terrorists. Prime was standing up to everything the terrorists threw at him, but then his body began to dissolve. Panicking, he flew back home, barely making it to crash through a window into an empty room, at which point the body died and Kevin began to drown. He tore his way out of the Prime skin and then threw up. (Prime v1 #1) Naked, exhausted, and covered in slime, Kevin returned home and collapsed in front of his mother. His parents took him to the hospital, where he was diagnosed with fatigue and dehydration, and he pretended to not remember what had happened to him. Upon returning to school, Kevin tried to talk to Kelly, but she tried to avoid him until he asked her about Prime. Meanwhile, a cleaning crew looked at their shattered window and the decaying slime on their floor. They were waiting for the police to get their samples when Organism 8 appeared, sniffed the slime, and then tracked it to Kevin at his school. At the same time, Kevin began to transform into Prime and had to run out class. Prime later met with Kelly, taking her for a ride as he flew through the sky, but they were assaulted in mid-air by Organism 8, and Prime barely caught Kelly before she hit the ground. Prime fought Organism 8 savagely, ultimately decapitating it, but after he left it simply grew a new head in its chest and came after him again. Organism 8 engulfed and captured Prime. (Prime v1 #2)

Powers and abilities
It was shown that Prime's skin was strong enough to endure bullets some of which bounced off it or simply briefly embedded into skin without much harm to him. However, intensive firepower was able to damage his skin and cause his body to degrade and dissolve. (Prime v1 #1) In this sate, he had to break free from his body as it dissolved into goo. (Prime v1 #2)
His strength was great enough that he could slap his hands together with such force that it generated a shockwave that could knock people around him over. (Prime v1 #1)
He had the power of flight allowing him to travel across great distances where he was able to fly ten thousand miles from America to Somalia in a matter of moments. (Prime v1 #1)
