== Family ==
===Chase Davenport===
Adoptive Brother/Step-Cousin/Best Friend/Former Teammate 
Leo and Chase are a lot alike, given that they are the youngest members of the Lab Rats, are very intelligent and good with technology, close in age (with Chase being the oldest of the two) and both got bullied by Trent and picked on by Adam and Bree out of all their siblings. 
Leo and Chase meet in” Crush, Chop and Burn”, when Leo accidentally stumbled across a secret elevator and found a lab within his step-father's basement. Chase was the first bionic teenager Leo had seen and was scared of his unknown step-siblings. However, Leo grew more relaxed when Donald explained who the three siblings were and admittedly, both Leo and Tasha were disturbed by how Donald treated the kids, such as making them eat fiber pellets that fell from the top of their capsules into their arms. When Chase first met Leo, he could barely stand him but quickly warmed up to Leo when he took them to school and showed Chase (and Adam and Bree) the outside world for the first time. Leo establishes that Chase, Adam and Bree as his best friends and was sadden to see them gone when Davenport was going to send them to Facility X in the Frozen tundra. Chase called Leo the first friend they ever had (with Adam correcting them that Leo was their only friend. Leo admitted that in their short time together, he came to love them, which Leo unknowingly admitted to the Lab Rats when Leo thought they just robots at the time. Later, when Davenport and Tasha told Leo that they sent the "robots" to a recycling department and went to rescue them. Chase was immediately concerned when he first saw Leo fall into the recycling bin and sprung into action to save his stepbrother, along with their other siblings. After seeing the kids use their bionics, Donald decided that the kids could stay and Leo was overjoyed. In "Leo's Jam," Later, Chase and Leo fell in love with the same girl, along with Adam. Despite winning Danielle, Leo chooses his relationship with Chase and Adam over Danielle's because he felt guilty for embarrassing Chase in front of Danielle. By the end of the first half of season 1, Leo and Chase considered each other brothers. The former called Chase his brother when he apologized to him and Adam over their fight for Danielle's affections. Chase later acknowledges Leo as his brother in "Exoskeleton vs. Grandma," where Chase and Leo apologize to each other and Chase stated that he had to get used to the face he had to deal with another brother around. They truly bonded when they competed and won the Robot Throwdown", which made them grow closer. 
Chase can be protective of Leo, such as not letting the Bionic Soldiers near him when he thought they were going to hurt him. He also worried about Leo twice in season 3, where he inquired where Leo was when he thought they were being rescued by Donald and "Sink or Swim" and wanted to find Leo in "You Posted What" when he learned Krane was the one who exposed their Bionics to the world. They also shared a love of the franchise Alien Gladiator. 
In "On the Edge," when Leo discovers a new ability called EMP generation with Taylor, Chase forbade Leo from ever using the ability because it proved to be too dangerous to use. However, the two disobeyed Chase, and used the ability again; however, the EMP generation resulted in Leo permanently blinding Taylor. The older Davenport brother scolded Leo for causing her danger and deems him unworthy of being a leader. Leo takes his brother's words at heart, especially after learning Taylor will never see again, and decides to quit the team and the academy and move back to Mission Creek. Chase never meant for Leo to quit, possibly thinking he had been a little harsh on his brother, and he felt that Leo should stand with them during the award ceremony because he was a hero just like them. Later, Chase and their family are trapped on the Hurst Bridge and Leo goes to rescue them. On the mission, Leo refuses to give up on saving Chase, who tells his younger brother to let go or the car will take him too; Leo refuses and saves his brother from falling and the two brothers hug each other, glad the other is safe from harm and finally reconciling. Afterwards, Leo is able to stand next to his siblings and later, Chase congratulates his brother to finally making it, claiming he couldn't be any more prouder than him.
===Adam Davenport===
Adoptive Brother/Close Friend/Teammate 
Out of all their siblings, Leo and Adam appear to be the least close, but they care about each other as brothers. They first met in "Crush, Chop and Burn" when Leo accidentally discovered Donald's lab. In the show, Leo will sometimes get annoyed with Adam's stupidity and out of the two of them, Leo appears to be more responsible. Despite this, Adam loves Leo as much as he does his biological siblings and will be protective over him, as one of Adam's hidden abilities showed up when he saw Marcus about to kill Leo again in Bionic Showdown." They hang out together, such as "Adam Up." Adam also worried for Leo when his arm got crushed by Taylor and Adam drove the protesters (including Principal Perry) away from Leo with his breath ability. He was proud of his younger brother when he went on his first official mission with them.
Currently, Leo and Adam are running what is left of the Bionic Academy, allowing room for them to grow closer. 
===Bree Davenport===
Adoptive Sister/Step-Cousin/Former TeammateBree is Leo's older step-sister/step-cousin and one of his best friends, and they first met in "Crush, Chop, and Burn," where Leo accidentally stumbled upon her and her brothers. He was the first one to show Bree the real world and how to be a teenage girl. Bree makes it her responsibility as Leo's older sister to see her younger brother following the right path, as she told him to take the blame and tell Perry he cheated off of Bree on her test. Leo tried everything to restore Bree's chip, even going to Douglas, the man who originally created it, to help them.
Like Adam, Bree can be protective of Leo, as she was concerned for her brother when he was trapped in the training room with the rest of the bionic soldiers and was scared when Sebastian ordered them to take him out.
=== Donald Davenport ===
Stepfather 
Donald is Leo's stepfather and has been since 2012. Since Leo's biological father is never mentioned, Leo appears to be close to Donald as his father-figure. Donald tries too hard to bond with Leo, and once blew it with him when Donald revealed to Tasha Leo's secret crush when Leo wanted the secret kept between them.
Leo mainly calls him "Big D" because of his position as head of the Davenport Household. However, Leo doesn't have the best relationship with him, even admitting he's not all that good. At the time of season 2 Leo and Donald appeared to get along better, as Donald begin trusting him with missions and being a part of the team. He is fairly protective of Leo as much as the lab rats, as he shouted for Douglas to leave his son alone and was relieved to see his son alive when Leo came in the middle of the battle between the Team and Douglas and Marcus Davenport.
Since Leo matured, Donald finally trusts his stepson, like allowing him to invent things in the lab without Donald in the room and allowing him to find sponsers for his J-Wing stunt. Donald was also concerned for Leo when he learned that his son had been gravely injured, especially when the family feared Krane had kidnapped Leo again; Donald was relieved to see his son and Douglas when they were cornered by Krane and Donald immediately asked Leo if he was alright. However, Donald was angry to learn that his brother gave his son bionics, fearing Tasha's wrath. The Bionic Academy is founded, Donald passes Leo over as a mentor and tells him he has to be a student instead. At the end of Season 3, Donald promotes Leo to a higher level, from beginner to intermediate. In "Unauthorized Mission", Donald is nearly killed trying out Chase and Sebastian's latest virtual reality stimulation, causing Leo to rush to Donald's side and look at him in concern. Unknown to them, Sebastian rigged the stimulation, hoping to get revenge on Leo, the rest of the Lab Rats by taking away their father.
Donald does consider Leo his son, according to the episode "Bionic Houseparty." In "On the Edge," Donald proudly announces Leo is the next mentor after he proves to be courageous in battle by rescuing their family from the Hurst Memorial Bridge. Leo was also happy for Donald and Tasha when they announced that they were going to have a baby girl together. 
=== Tasha Davenport ===
Mother 
Tasha is Leo's mother who he is rather close to. The premiere episode implied they had already been living in Mission Creek prior to her marrying Donald. Leo supports her marriage to Donald; however, Leo told his mother to stay away from online dating when they meet Adam, Bree and Chase for the first time and he sometimes wonders how they ended up together.
When Leo received bionic implants, Tasha was initially furious, but mainly with Douglas, and she often berates Douglas or Donald if Leo's bionics go haywire. She has chosen to support Leo for her son's sake. When Tasha revealed she was pregnant with her and Donald's first child, Leo was happy for his mother and gave her a hug, promising to protect his sister after she was born. 
=== Douglas Davenport ===
Step-Uncle/Close Friend 
Douglas is the brother of Leo's step-father, Donald, thus making Douglas his step-uncle. They were bitter enemies, but at the time, Leo did not know of his relation to Douglas until "Bionic Showdown."However, Douglas went to Leo for help about Krane and despite his past feelings, Leo decided to listen.Leo's the first to believe Douglas, who tells Leo that he must talk to Donald because his step-father will believe him.  Despite believing Douglas, Leo does not defend him and just watches as Donald orders for his brother to leave.
By the second half of season 3, Leo and Douglas were friends, especially after going to his step-uncle for help in fixing Bree's chip. After Leo's arm is crushed, Douglas shows concern for him and tries pulling off the ceiling beam that fell off of him and when he can't do that, Douglas goes to the firemen to save Leo. After learning from the doctor that Leo will never be able to use his regular arm again, Douglas refuses to let that happen and takes Leo to Krane's Warehouse and uses bionic components to save his arm.Despite them being on the government's good sode, Douglas urges Leo to keep his bionic arm a secret because they would take Leo away and Douglas would end up in Federal prison. He also reveals that he made a remote that turns Leo's bionics on and off for the safety of himself and others. Leo steals the remote and activates his bionics. Douglas realizes this and confronts Leo at school, where he sees that his nephew was trying to impress a girl. Douglas promises to teach Leo how to use his arm properly.
When Leo glitched for the first time, he attacked Douglas in his sleep. Chase began to blame Douglas for never giving Leo a capsule because he was responsible for giving the kid a bionic arm int he first place. He didn't want anyone to wake Leo up in fear for his nephew's safety because it could potentially make Leo explode. After the ordeal, Douglas gives Leo an arm capsule for him to wear in his sleep. Douglas made Leo Daniel's mentor because he thought he was responsible and later scolded Leo for giving his son a chip upgrade when he specifically told him not to and later, Douglas saved his nephew's life when he liquefied Marcus as he tried to fight Leo. 
===Naomi Davenport ===
Maternal Half-sister 
Naomi is Leo's half-sister through Tasha and Donald. When he heard his mother was pregnant, Leo was overjoyed and embraced Tasha. 
===Janice===
Maternal Aunt 
Janice is the sister of Leo's mother Tasha, therefore his maternal aunt. It is implied the two have a healthy relationship because she helped him perform a dance in front of the girl he liked with her book club.
=== Daniel Davenport ===
 
Step-Cousin 
Daniel is Leo's younger step-cousin. Ever since Douglas introduced Daniel to the Academy, Leo could relate to Daniel a lot, as he shared much of Leo's same experiences of feeling wanted in his family, and was reckless with his bionics much like Leo was when he first received his bionics. Daniel was glad to make Leo and his siblings' acquaintances, mainly because Daniel was glad to have more family members willing to lie for him. Leo and Daniel grew closer because of their many similarities, as Leo told his cousin to give Douglas a chance. Daniel eventually became one of Leo's students, and he continued to teach him how to properly control his bionics.
=== Rose ===
Maternal Grandmother 
Leo is very close with his grandmother, but there are times when she gets in the way of his relationship with Janelle because she is a tad overprotective of her grandson.
===Other Relatives===
On the show, Leo's father is never mentioned in the series at all,so it is unknown what their relationship was like and what happened to him. According to Bionic Showdown, Leo's step-grandmother, Grandma Davenport, tends to never stop calling her family. Douglas later mentions his and Donald's father, Leo's step-grandfather, who Douglas at least 20 bucks from.
Additionally Leo has another aunt who is Tasha's other sister and a grandfather is mentioned in Three Minus Bree, where Leo mentions that Eddy may have inadvertently caused his grandparents to break up with each other. However it is unknown if he is referring to Rose and Tasha's father or if he is referring to his stepfather's parents.
==Friends==
===Taylor===
Best Friend/Teammate/Former Arch-Nemesis
Taylor and Leo used to be mortal enemies, and she tried to kill him at least twice and she was the main reason that Leo's arm was permanently damaged and why Douglas had to fix it with bionics. He later battled her in "Rise of the Secret Soldiers," where Leo managed to finally overpower her. However, because she was under the Triton App, Taylor did not recall Leo because she was a blank slate like all the other soldiers, meaning her actions of crushing Leo's arm was not of her own accord. Taylor met him again in "One Of Us," where Leo knocked her out because he thought she was a threat to his friends. However, the two decided to forget move on in the past and finally, they became friends.
The two became extremely close, afterwards, and discovered a new ability. By joining their hands, they could make a laser sphere so powerful it could knock out all the lights in the Academy. However, this new power caused Leo to accidentally disable Taylor and make her go permanently blind. Despite it being an accident, Leo quit the Bionic Academy and was haunted by what he had done to Taylor. However, Taylor did not blame Leo because it was just an accident. She later called Leo when his family was in danger, as they were trapped in a self-driving car and together, the two managed to save Leo's family by disabling the safety lock device on Daveport's limo, where Taylor told Leo that blinding her was only an accident
===Logan===
Best Friend/Teammate 
Logan is one of Leo's best friends and a teammate in his own team after Leo grew tired of living in his older siblings' shadow. It is revealed that Logan hero-worshipped Leo, inspired by how he was once a normal kid before becoming bionic.
Logan followed Leo's lead when they were rescuing Leo's family.
===Bob===
Friend 
Despite appearing in smaller scenes with Bob, they appear to be good friends due to their close relationship with Adam. Since Bob was controlled by Victor Krane, it's implied the two were enemies when the Bionic Soldiers under the influence of the Triton App. When Spin goes to call Leo for help, Bob happily tells his brother to tell Leo that he (Bob) said "hi." However, Leo appears to enjoy teasing Bob at times, because in that same scene, Leo joked with Spin and Bob, taking a selfie with the two to prove how ridiculous they looked. He scolded Bob and Spin for deleting the mission and going on it on their own and despite teasing them about getting stuck in quicksand, Leo was able to pull them out while lifting a log with his bionic arm, thus saving the duo. 
At times, Leo can get annoyed by Bob's stupidity as much as he does with Adam, as he groaned in annoyance when they both touched a skull that was poisoned with a virus Douglas created after Leo and his siblings had already dealt with it when it was taken in by Chase and Bree. Nevertheless, the two help each other, as Leo was able to convince Bob and Spin to help him escape the bionic soldiers when he was imprisoned with them by Sebastian, Lexi, and Tank. 
==Enemies==
===Marcus Davenport===
Step-Cousin and Arch-enemy 
Marcus was an Android created by Donald's brother Douglas, therefore Leo's step-cousin. While Adam Bree and Chase were convinced that Marcus was a nice and troubled boy, his act does not fool Leo Dooley, who was the only one to dislike Marcus even before he knew they were family. Marcus framed Leo for breaking his guitar and later, even he was exposed, Marcus revealed his true colors to Leo afterwards threatening him if he ever tried busting him again. Overtime, Marcus came to hate Leo, who mutually hated him back. In Speed Trapped, Marcus tried having Leo killed by imprisoning him in Donald's self-driving car and when he was saved by the Lab rats, Leo learned that Marcus was bionic just like his siblings. Marcus threatened to reveal his siblings' secret to the authorities and therefore Leo's father would be sent to prison and Adam, Bree, and Chase would be taken away by the government.
Leo tried keeping Adam, Bree and Chase away from Marcus, and even risks his life to expose Marcus to protect his family and later, Leo manages to outsmart Marcus by having the robot Marcus apprehended Leo with by pretending to shake his hand, only to lick his hand, remembering how Chase managed to defeat Adam in an arm wrestling match. With Marcus distracted, Leo was able to escape but the evidence he had against Marcus was ruined when Leo's phone fell through Davenport's latest teleportation device. After Marcus and Douglas kidnapped Donald and trapped the Lab Rats in a bionic blocking cage, Leo was forced to save his family but was confronted by Marcus, who had every intention of killing him after being told by Douglas to do so. However Leo managed to outsmart him yet again, this time by hiring a protective vest that his father created. Marcus was upset to learn that Leo had survived when he came crashing down in Donald's exoskeleton creation. Marcus tried to kill Leo yet again until Marcus intervened to protect his younger brother by locking his new ability and blasting Marcus away from Leo. Marcus was later killed by a pile of rubble, ending Marcus' threat to Leo for the time being. 
In season 4, Leo and his siblings were shocked to learn that Marcus was resurrected by Giselle Vickers at least two years later and in return, Marcus was (slightly) shocked to learn that Leo was bionic that time. Leo never got the chance to defeat Marcus due to Daniel replicating Marcus's abilities and destroying him. When Marcus regenerated after Leo has thrown his dismantled parts on the floor, the two cousins prepared to fight to the death until Douglas melted Marcus second time, while ironically rescuing Leo from him.
===Victor Krane===
Enemy 
An enemy Leo first encountered when Krane abducted him and his mother to get Donald to release Bree, Adam and Chase, Leo and Tasha were nearly killed by this madman. He later confronted Leo and Douglas at the high school. Krane is also indirectly responsible for damaging Leo's arm because he had S-1 attempt to crush Leo with a ceiling beam to keep him and his family out of the way. However, when that failed, Krane tries to get rid of Leo and Douglas again, and was surprised when he learned Douglas gave his friend bionics to heal his arm, failing to kill Leo at least three times. During "Rise of the Secret Soldiers," Krane brutally injured Leo's father, Donald, however, this enemy was later defeated by Leo's siblings when they combined their bionics. 
Leo, like everyone else, thought Krane to be dead until "Space Colony," where Krane was revealed to be alive, and wished to fight against Krane when he put his parents under the Triton App. This time , Krane died for real in Davenportia by Chase's hand.
===Giselle Vickers===
Since Leo is Adam, Bree, and Chase's brother and Douglas' nephew, therefore a member of the Davenport family, Giselle hates Leo as much as Adam, Bree and Chas. Prior to her betrayal, Leo was a major fan of her films. He tries impressing her when Leo first meets her to get a character inspired by him to appear in her movie Bionic Action Hero, even interrupting his uncle's date with her. When it's revealed she is evil, Leo loses his respect for her especially since she tried to kill the Davenport family and kidnapped Chase to get his intelligence. In the finale, Giselle mocks Leo for being bionic in the arm and the lege, even resurrecting their old enemy, Marcus Davenport to get vengeance on his father. However, she underestimated the kids because Leo was the only one who could break from Giselle's cage (which blocked the Bionic Teenagers' bionic abilities but Leo because he did not have a chip.) She had no qualms to harming Leo, his siblings or his newfound cousin, Daniel, despite them being children, as Giselle wanted to watch Douglas and Donald suffer as she harmed their children.
