| ~ T.K.O. turning against Shadowy Venomous. |
Turbo Kaio O. Kincaid., also known as T.K.O., is a major antagonist of the 2017 Cartoon Network series OK K.O.! Let's be Heroes.
He is the Turbonic alter-ego of Kaio O. Kincaid, and the physical embodiment of the former's anger and negative emotions, brought to life by Shadowy Figure. He seeks to take full control of his counterpart's body in order to cause destruction, and would temporarily come to an understanding with K.O., before fully descending into villainy and allying with his father, Shadowy Venomous. Ultimately, he would abandon Shadowy Venomous and unify himself with K.O., becoming M.K.O. (Merged K.O.) with him.
Like his original self, he was voiced by Courtenay Taylor, who also voiced Jack in Mas Effect and Starla Gutsmandottir in Regular Show.
Appearance[]
T.K.O. takes on a relatively similar appearance to K.O., however, there were a few key differences. He lacks K.O.'s notable red headband causing his hair to flow over his back and purple spiked wristbands take the place of his regular red wristbands. He also has two sharp fangs and other sharp teeth which are almost always visible and a single snaggle-tooth when his mouth is closed.
Additionally, he later had dark purple eyeshadow on his eyelids and started wearing his mom's eyeliner.
In his powered-up form, his hairline shifts upward, resembling a Super Saiyan hairstyle, and emits a purplish glow. This transformation is only triggered during his debut when he becomes sufficiently angry.
In "T.K.O.'s House", inside K.O.'s mindspace, he had a black nail polish on his hands and also he was wearing a black short-sleeve Pentagram shirt (recently in "Dark Plaza", his shirt was no longer having a Pentagram symbol, due to religion sensitivity of that symbol), making him more of a goth kid.
But in "Carl", he returned with the same outfit which K.O. regularly wears in his debut and Season 1 finale.
In OK K.O.! Let's Play Heroes game, T.K.O. is K.O.’s 'Powie Zowie' and is shown for the first time coexisting alongside K.O. in the physical world. His outfit is nearly similar to K.O.'s regular outfit (still without his signature red headband) with black and gray color schemes, but he is no longer wearing a tank top and he is shirtless, albeit his wristbands are blackish-grey and have no spikes, they have only seen on his leg warmers are greyish-black during the peak of his anger, unlike his appearance in the series.
Personality[]
T.K.O. is the exact opposite of K.O. he is a bitter, selfish, and violent person, and when K.O. turned into T.K.O., he became angsty and mean. He was contemptuous at best of others around him when in a better mood to the point where even Enid disliked his attitude and Rad referred to him as "lame". T.K.O. showed a desire not for friendship or family, but pure destruction, chaos, and power. He tends to ignore others when they're trying to talk to him and showed no care when damaging physical property. T.K.O. was shown to hate compliments and affection, seeing it as people pitying him and looking at him as a weakling.
Unlike K.O., T.K.O. showed no mercy to anyone when fighting, especially his own friends and family; he even acted this way towards his friends and boss as he sassed them sarcastically, especially while casually destroying the plaza. T.K.O. has shown himself to have no qualms about attacking those his regular form considers close to him, in which it was K.O. as his other side taking back control that stopped him from hurting and possibly nearly killing his own mother.
As revealed in the episode "You're in Control", T.K.O. wants to fight. He hates being in the mental prison that K.O. has him in when he is inactive, but with the recent deal he has made with K.O., they have reached a sort of compromise, which T.K.O. seems to be accepting of, to which he sternly replies "NO TAKE BACKS".
T.K.O. could have simply wanted an outlet for his aggression which makes sense as he is K.O.'s anger, fear, and inferiority rolled into a massively powerful entity.
From the events of "T.K.O.'s House", T.K.O. has shown to be just nicer to K.O. and even combined with him in perfect togetherness. Also in the same episode, it appears that his intellect may be greater than K.O.'s as he was able to deduce that Shadowy Figure was lying to them about just wanting glorbs.
However, after "TKO Rules!", they have no longer have a sibling-like relationship when K.O. abandoned him back to his subconscious as a punishment in his wrong-doings while K.O. was cleaning T.K.O.'s house.
In "Carl", T.K.O. escapes and pushes K.O. into his own subconscious in his mind as revenge from before and takes over K.O.'s body, saying "Goodbye Forever, K.O.!", and becomes a villain yet again after teaming up with Shadowy Figure/Shadowy Venomous.
When K.O. found T.K.O.'s hidden box in his subconscious in their mind, he revealed a old tape recorder from his childhood. On it, there was a song, sung by Carol, that allowed K.O. to rein T.K.O.'s fury. As K.O. realized the truth of their existence, and accepted T.K.O. as his other half, they merged back into one entity.
Powers and Abilities[]

Turbo K.O. exhibiting his powers.
- Superhuman Strength: T.K.O. is immensely strong, quite possibly the strongest character in the series seen so far. At a base level, he is powerful enough to destroy both Mr. Gar's fear of Laserblast and Mega Darrel in a single blow, both of which being far more powerful that K.O. himself. Additionally, the angrier T.K.O. gets, the stronger he will become. While how strong he can get is unknown, at best, he was able to single-handedly beat Enid, Rad, A Real Magic Skeleton, Brandon, Carol, and Mr. Gar all at once.
- High Combat Proficiency: T.K.O. is an incredibly skilled fighter, being able to keep up with and surpass foes who had arguably more combat experience and were better at forming combat strategies. He is also shown to be a match for K.O. when the two fight, blocking and countering almost all of his attacks blow for blow.
- Electrokinesis: T.K.O. can generate electricity from the palms of his hands and use it to both attack and lift himself into the air.
- Ergokinesis: T.K.O. can fire extremely powerful blasts of energy from his hands. Once he becomes mad enough, he can unleash incredibly powerful energy waves that can knock even Mr. Gar and Carol, two of the most powerful fighters in the series, to their knees.
- Teleportation: Inside K.O.'s mind, T.K.O. had the ability to teleport short distances.

Trivia[]
- T.K.O.'s rage based strength is likely a parody of/homage to various rage based transformations seen in multiple anime and video games.
- T.K.O. is also considered to be a combination of the Incredible Hulk and the Super Saiyan transformation from Dragon Ball Z.
- In "Mystery Science Fair 201X", T.K.O. hints about slightly caring for K.O. when he angrily berates Dendy for treating K.O. like a lab rat.
- Like his father, T.K.O. was born from K.O.'s feeling of Powerlessness.
- The relationship between K.O. and T.K.O. is a reference to the relationship between Dr. Henry Jekyll and Mr. Edward Hyde, two separate individuals who share the same body but have different personalities with one being good and the other evil, the transformations between the two even resulting in physical as well as mental changes.
- T.K.O. appears to share similarities with Dark Mousy from D.N.Angel; their theme color is purple in contrast to Daisuke and K.O.'s red, they both can interact with their other selves mentally, they are capable of taking control of their counterparts bodies and both have been causing trouble for the main protagonists in personal matters.
- The K.O. and T.K.O. storyline is inspired by Ian Jones-Quartey's childhood as a hyperactive kid, who had temper tantrums, and kids' "complicated inner life that adults don't always get."
- According to Ian Jones-Quartey, T.K.O. does not seem like the singing type.
