==Biography==
===Early life===
Dylan comes from the Bible Belt. His power manifested in a very destructive and public way, causing him to be labelled a problem poster.quipquipquip: "Is Dylan an Alpha or a Beta?"
===At the Academy===
Dylan has excellent grades, although he struggles in gymnastics.Grinder Although his power is strong enough to be ranked at an Alpha level, as a problem poster he didn't fit the leadership criteria testers look for in Alphas, and as a result he was on the cusp of being reclassified as a Beta. Had Ernest Wright not asked to be paired with June, this is exactly what would have happened, and Dylan would have been become Ernest's Beta partner.
Instead, Dylan remained Alpha-ranked and was paired with fellow problem poster Bice Cortadino. As Bice was his best friend — and, Maks observes, his crush — Dylan was more than happy with the arrangement. The two eventually start dating.
Dylan and Bice are ranked close to Ernest and June, but have not enjoyed the same top-of-the-class perks, mostly because they are labelled problem posters. "They’ve dealt with a lot of the same grief, but without the benefit of having parents on staff to shelter them."quipquipquip: "Will we meet Bice in the next book?"
