The accountant of Mary Jane Watson and Liz Allan, he may be a bully of what Peter thinks of the outisde but deep down in the inside, Kenny is known to have a kind heart. Despite being friends with Flash, he also a supporting friend of Peter.

Only then, when Peter tells Kenny about the fact that he shouldn't take orders from Flash, who somewhat treats Kenny "like crap", his life changed as when Flash accused Kitty Pryde of being a mutant, he violently attacks Flash and berates him for treating him badly. After telling that he has enough of Flash's "racist crap", Flash apologizes after Kenny threatened to him. As of now, Kenny began to become close friends with Kitty, who is with Peter and Mary Jane.
