He returned in Ninjago. Yes that was the point of why I brought that up. He was at first referenced in season 1 before becoming an actual character in season 11. In season 11 they localized his name here in Germany to Kevin Kiesel (=pebble), like why, he was never before called Kevin, why now and why Kevin?
But Clutch Powers in Ninjago is supposedly very different from his original movie iteration (I have never seen the movie so I really can’t tell).
