Daniel Mandel, also known as Dan Mandel, Danny, Biff Wellington, Office Monkey, The Batboy, Dr. Jerk, Dan Man and Monkey, is the titular main protagonist of the Dan Vs. series.
== Charactah Account ==
Maltempered, Dan usually swears revenge against anything that bothers him one too many times. He lives in a small and dirty apartment and takes mediocre care of himself. Having few likes and even fewer people he likes, Dan is getting revenge one annoyance at a time.
Even with his rash behavior, Dan does have a sense of morality and will occasionally do the right thing. Examples include saving all the animals in the shelter before blowing it up, denying to back-stab his friend Chris, and let's not forget his undying adoration to his ragamuffin kitten Mr. Mumbles. Dan secretly has a strongly compassionate side in which he is willing to rescue Elise, Chris, and Elise's hated parents.

== Trivia ==
* One of Dan's former friends is an unseen character called Ted, he has never appeared on the show, but he's on Dan's List.
* Dan seems to have "Jerk" as his main iconography, as shown by his apron, His Dr. Jerk persona, and him using it as a logo for when his car was modified into a battle bot.
* His best friend is Chris.
* His left thumb is double-jointed, which is shown in "The Magician".
* Dan is lactose intolerant. Eating cheese, butter, or milk based products makes him roll around on the floor, clenching his stomach in pain. (Despite this, in a brief part of "Baseball" Dan is seen with a cheese sandwich.)
* In "Baseball" and "The Bank", Dan mentions he's been hit with tear gas so many times it doesn't affect him anymore. He's also immune to pepper spray.
* Mr. Mumbles is a female cat and Dan acknowledges her as a girl. He named her before he knew her gender, and didn't find out she was a girl until several episodes after he adopted her, but still calls her Mr. Mumbles anyway.
* Dan is attracted to men, as shown in "The Family Camping Trip", and has torn down the idea of involving women in his love life in "Parents". Both of which have prompted debate on his sexuality. It is likely he could be Bisexual, as he has shown some hetero attraction to Honey and Amber.
* In "Elise's Parents", Don reveals that Dan was Chris's best man in Chris and Elise's wedding by saying, "I recall his best man toast where he told us that marriage is a scam and that you and Elise Jr. would be divorced within the year."
* In "Elise's Parents" Dan tells Elise that he has no dental records. A possible nod to "The Dentist" in which he stole his own records to prove that his dentist Dr. Pullem was a super villain.
* In the episode "Dan", it is shown on his driver's license that Dan is 5'6" (1.68 m) in height, weighs 105 lbs (47 kg), and was born on October 31st, 1975.

*** His license says that his name is Dan, but some part of the series states that his real name is Daniel.
*** It says his weight is 105 pounds, which is considered slim on the BMI. It's likely Dan weighs more as he's portrayed as plus-sized in episodes such as "The Gym" and "The Lemonade Stand Gang".
*** It says his eye color is brown, in actuality it's green.
*** Dan Mandel confirmed Dan's birthdate is inaccurate, meaning he was most likely born on the year 1985, the same year Chris was born; because of them being the same age during Camp Atrocious and high school. Dan Mandel also confirmed Dan's birthday is February 3rd.
* Dan has stated that the police no longer take his calls.

In the episode "Gigundo Mart", he learns Ninja Dave's Cookies, his preferred cookie eatery, is on the verge of shutting down due to being unable to compete with the titular mega-store and begins to scream, "GIGUNDO M-, oh wait I already did that...", realizing he has already sworn vengeance.
