Monster Communication: Kei can talk to any of the monsters he draws, even if the drawing is only partially completed, as seen when he was able to understand Groot.

Interdimensional Vision: Kei is able to see through dimensional barriers, allowing him to see the monsters whose living in other dimensions and also summoned them through the sketch that he drawn.

Subject Weaknesses:
Inexperience: While Kei has been drawing for a while he is still brand new to the world of heroics. Being only 11 years old he doesn't quite grasp the complexities of hero work in the real world; such as being mindful of collateral damage and judgment in the heat of a fight.
Powers Infancy: Being new to his powers Kid Kaiju is still uncertain of what he can or cannot do. Most of his abilities are unknown territory for him and while he can summon monsters and have them help him, he's unsure what level of control he really has over them.
Mental Link: For monsters that Kei creates from his own imagination he has a connection to them. When Fireclaw was killed in battle Kei physically felt it and even suffered a bloody nose.
Subject History
When Inhuman king Black Bolt inadvertently detonated the Terrigen bomb in Earth's atmosphere and the ensuing Terrigen mist swept across the globe, some of it ended up in Atlanta, catching young Kei Kawade in its cloud. A day later Kei was entered into a cocoon where his latent Inhuman genes were activated, and when he emerged he possessed the ability to summon the creatures he drew.
Immediately Kei's parents were not aware of his change, given that he underwent no physical alterations. When the monster Xenmu attacked Kei's father Minouru's place of work the family was forced to evacuate and move to St. Louis. After a secondary monster attack in the family's new city, Kei's parents began to suspect the attacks were linked to their son. The family began moving all around the country to avoid suspicion and detection.
After the three of them moved to Hawaii, Kei drew a picture of Fin Fang Foom in battle with the new Hulk (Amadeus Cho), the two then materialized in battle outside of his home. The Kawades then moved to Missoula, Montana and Chicago, Illinois; however, the monster incidents continued to follow them. Eventually settling in Springfield, Missouri, Kei continued to draw numerous other monsters. Around this time, the Earth became victim to an invasion from the Leviathon Tide, which began attacking cities all over the world. This forced Kei to summon Fin Fang Foom, Zzutak, Green Thing, and Gorgilla who met with him near his family's latest home.
Almost immediately after this, Elsa Bloodstone appeared in Kei's home to take him some place where he could be safe and also be questioned by the heroes. After being kidnapped to Parker Industries Kei met Groot and Rocket, as well as Spider-Man who had collected the boy's parents so that they weren't worried about their son. Kei demonstrated his abilities by drawing Devil Dinosaur, who instantaneously appeared in the room in the company of Moon Girl, who had unintentionally been summoned as well, and rapidly took a liking to Kei as she began to inquire as to the nature of his abilities.
The line of questioning from the heroes prompted Kei's parents to confess his Inhuman origins, with Kei claiming that he too was a monster. While Moon Girl assured him he was not, Queen Medusa used the time to regal everyone with a tale of Inhuman history and prophecy. She brought in Magister Karnak to further elucidate privately to the adults the connection between Kei, the monsters, the Universal Inhumans, and the Leviathon Tide. Karnak stated that Kei was destined to become a great warrior, like another Inhuman before him, The Summoner, and perhaps the planet's best hope against the impending invasion; meanwhile Lunella told Kei she had deciphered the Leviathons' language and learned of "something really bad" that was coming: the Leviathon Mother.
The following hours, when the amount of invading Leviathons increased exponentially, Kei remained at Parker Industries, using his powers to summon monsters to help the superheroes fight the Leviathon Tide and redistribute them throughout the globe as the situation demanded it, a position which put Kei under pressure, due to his feeling of inadequacy and the discomfort he felt with manipulating creatures into fighting on his behalf. Parker Industries was soon targeted by the servitors of the Leviathon Mother, whose sole mission was to murder the young child. The combined efforts of the heroes defended Kei from the servitors, but the Leviathon Mother herself made earthfall soon afterwards.
Having recognized it was his responsibility to stop the Leviathon Mother, Kei personally confronted her. With all the monsters he had summoned defeated, he decided to try his hand at finishing the drawings of six monsters he had come up with on his own at the behest of Moon Girl. The gamble worked, and Kid Kaiju managed to summon Slizzik, Hi-Vo, Aegis, Fireclaw, Scragg and Mekara to his aid. The monsters were capable of holding their own against the Leviathon Mother, until she killed their leader Fireclaw. As a last-ditch effort, Kei used his powers on himself and his monsters, temporarily merging them into Smasher, who managed to put an end to the Leviathon Mother and kill her.
Once the dust settled, Captain America told Kei that he now had a choice and proposed the boy join one of the many superhero teams that had gathered (Inhumans, Avengers, Champions, etc) but Kei simply requested to go home. As their home had been destroyed by the Leviathon Mother's assassins Queen Medusa suggested a resolution. The Kawades were given an entire island the Inhumans created for them, named Mu, which served as their home, as well as a refuge for Kei's monsters. Elsa Bloodstone was also asked to guide him and protect him.
Some time later it was learned that after the Leviathon Mother's death not all of her children had fled or been destroyed but that some had remained on Earth and were in hiding. When Animax appeared attacking Utah with monsters of her own, Kid Kaiju and his monsters showed up to thwart her. Kei's actions however got him scolded by Damage Control agent Gloria Clark, she reprimanded the pre-teen for the billions in damage he and his monsters had caused to two city blocks. The next day Kei reconvened with Elsa Bloodstone and the two of them traveled to Corpus Cristi to deal with a Leviathon attack.
The attack turned out to be an ambush and Kei's monsters were suddenly facing four Leviathon instead of one, all lead by Mole Man. A new incarnation of the Intelligencia were pulling the strings behind the scenes in a bid to learn the full capabilities of Kei's enigmatic power set. Combating and keeping out of the Intelligencia's reach, Kei worked to continue saving the world from giant monstrous threats. He and Scragg saved a hive of giant bio-engineered honeybees. Working with Aegis Kid Kaiju was able to prevent a cult from raising an ancient creature called the Dread Uluath. Kei and Mekara went to the moon and stopped a world destroying alien from taking its tantrum out on Earth. Kei returned to Earth and after stopping the confused young robot-controlling heroine Miss Mech, Kid Kaiju fully devoted himself and his monsters to being heroes.
Subject Interview
Kei sat alone in the living room of their home on Mu, his parents had left in an attempt to explore the nearby areas and in their infinite wisdom they thought it best for their tween son to stay home. However, Kei of course wasn't truly alone, he had his monsters to keep him company. The monsters though were like children themselves and all they wanted to do was play all day, it got tiring being an eleven year old and having to play the role of the responsible one.
"I think Kei is displeased with us. Upset. Disappointed." Mekara chimed as her large green face stared into the living room window, watching Kei as he sat there on the couch doodling. He pretended he couldn't hear her, tossing his drawing pad aside and switching out for the tv remote. Kei promptly turned the volume as high as it would go.
"Displeased?" The large mech monster, Aegis, questioned with arms folded. "No, he's just bored and stuck doing boring stuff. We should be out fighting criminals, that's not boring!"
"THE FEARSOME SCRAGG WILL OBLITERATE KEI KAWADE'S BOREDOM..." The insectoid screeched loudly, "FOR HEALTHY ACTIVITY MAKES FOR GOOD BRAIN DEVELOPMENT AND PREVENTS DEPRESSION."
Kei groaned at hearing the monsters outside, but maybe they were right, maybe being cooped up inside the house was making his mood sour and he just really needed something to do. Where was Elsa Bloodstone when he needed her? It wasn't his monsters' fault that they wanted to enjoy the island they had been given to live on, they were practically still new to the world and wanted to experience it. For Kei though, his island home seemed too much like a prison. He felt like he was being monitored instead of being kept safe like everyone claimed.
"You guys worry too much. Look! There's sharks in these waters." Aegis waded around in the waves, no doubt scaring away any of the sharks he had noticed.
The bad news was Kei couldn't just do what he wanted. He was a kid, plus his monsters tagged along anywhere he went, and Damage Control had clearly expressed that he wasn't allowed to do any heroics unless pre-approved by them. He clicked the volume to go higher only to find it was at its highest already. So instead he switched channels, maybe he could find one of those all day music video channels to drown out hearing the debates going on outside.
"I think we may be being too loud. Noisy. Deafening."
Kei's impromptu channel surfing ceased suddenly when he went past a channel that had blasted the words BREAKING NEWS across the screen. Quickly he clicked back to the channel. He sat up and watched the news unfold. There was some sort of invasion happening in California, Scragg could probably fly them there in just a few minutes. But, Damage Control had been more than clear.
"Grr agh!" Kei shouted, he wanted to rip his hair out. Was anyone telling Captain America or Spider-Man what they couldn't do? Kei knew Elsa didn't answer to anyone and since she was the one chosen to be his mentor...didn't that mean she was the one he should emulate? It didn't take Kei much more than that to convince himself of what he should do.
"Guys!" He was outside in an instant, dressed in a red hoodie and blue jeans. His grouped monsters looked down at him confusion(Mekara), excitement(Aegis), and blankness(Scragg). "We've got work to do!"
Kei ran toward the cliff his family's house sat on and threw himself from the rocky edge. Scragg's scaly form quickly flew beneath the plummeting boy and caught his creator on his back, the insectoid rolled over the surface of the ocean and shot into the air.
"THE MIGHTY SCRAGG HAS CAUGHT KID KAIJU! SAVING HIM FROM A WATERY DEATH!"
"Good going, Scragg. Where to, Bossman?" Aegis asked upon dumping a handful of sharks back into the ocean.
"California! There's another invasion for us to stop. This is a job for Kid Kaiju and his awesome Monsters!"
