He is a Variant of Almighty Tallest Daniel Ledda, though the two do not get along well.
Tier: Likely 8-A
== Appearance ==
Dan looks identical to his Terrachaoversian Variant, although his hair is untidy & he wears a pair of blue-rimmed Star Wars sunglasses to conceal his identity. His namesake is a part of his wardrobe, as he never changes his off-green shirt. He is also known to not wear pants for some reason.
== History ==
=== Early Life & Rise to Fame ===
Daniel Francis Ledda was born on July 22nd, 1999. However, a malfunction occurred with some hospital equipment, & this horrific accident resulted in Dan being exposed to lethal amounts of radiation. Luckily for him, Dan was miraculosly able to survive the radiation, & over the course of his childhood, he harnessed the radiation stored within his body & developed superpowers from it. But there was nothing super about this, as he used his deadly powers against anyone who wronged him, which would get him in trouble a lot. 
In Dan's high school years, he started a show on YouTube where he rants about a variety of topics, often being controversial in nature. He donned the persona of Dirty Dan, concealing his eyes with a pair of sunglasses that weren't really made for someone of his size. While his show was not well-received at first, he gained a cult following from those who actually liked his morbid sense of humor. Dan would eventually add more people to his show's cast after he found out that he wasn't the only being on Earth who had supernatural abilities. He discovered entities such as the super-strong Shield Man, the brutish Columnbyne, the kleptomaniacal Bag Troll, the savage Yonkey Kong, & the lazy Walmart Donut Guy. Later on, he even met the infamous gangster known as $ean, who could also join his cast as they became good friends. 
=== There is Another ===
Thanks to directions from Shield Man, Dirty Dan found out that other universes exist, & that they were all connected together through something called Super Battle Bros, a competitive tournament-based sport where beings from across the Multiverse combat each other. Dan wanted to put his powers to ultimate test & joined the 29th Tournament on July 1st, 2018. He remained in stealth most of the time, & revealed himself after Big Fat Ugly Bug Faced Baby Eating O'Brien vaporized Noodle-Tubian. Dan properly introduced himself as he casually threw Hydrion Barfallonyou aside & ragdolled Frogman's Pets. O'Brien was confused at first, believing Dan to be his leader, but this was a Variant of the Almighty Tallest, which he was not aware of such a person existing. Dirty Dan was also surprised at this & was rather jealous, as well, now knowing that an alternate version of him became a galactic emperor. He wished he had that kind of lifestyle, the kind where he's on top of the world. But a coup would be too soon, & Dan would wait to enact such a thing at a later date.
On July 27th, 2020, Dirty Dan partook in the 57th Super Battle Bros. Tournament, where he fought Cheeto Gambino & a few others. During the battle, he used his Oversized Stopwatch to freeze time itself. However, Emperor Dan noticed this due to him wielding the Time Stone at the moment, & undid Dirty Dan's time stop, banning him from future tournaments due to his watch having time hax & him not being a fair player because of it.
On August 24th, 2021, Dirty Dan was summoned by Emperor Dan for a photography project he was working on, compiling a series of custom-made cursed images. Dirty Dan only accepted if he could bring $ean along with him, to which he was allowed to. Dirty Dan & $ean ended up meeting Legit Raoul Duke, & Emperor Dan showed the three a bunch of action figures that he temporarily brought to life with the Infinity Stones, to which the three then wagered money over who would win in a fight. Their gambling made for a good photo for Emperor Dan to use. It is unknown who won in the end. Later on, after the three were taken one more photo of, this time outside with Unwoak, they all returned to their homeworlds.
=== Wrong Universe ===
Dirty Dan would not return to the Terrachaoverse until January 21st, 2022, where he did a food review of a vegan white chocolate bar to prove that he's open-minded. He didn't really like the taste of it, having no strong feelings one way or the other. However, as he was about to wrap up his review, Dinosaur Man appeared from a Warp Zone, telling Dan that he's in the wrong dimension. Sdrawkcab also appeared, demanding Dan to leave. It was in this moment that Dan realized this was not his basement, & that he was in the Ledda Residence of the Terrachaoverse, despite both houses appearing nearly identical. Emperor Dan came down the stairs, as his Kaiser Sense alerted him of an intruder. As the two Dans looked at each other, Dirty Dan's jealousy & arrogance culminated as he struck Emperor Dan with his Corrupted Lightning, hoping he could usurp the throne & become the new Almighty Tallest Daniel. However, Emperor Dan didn't even flinch, unfazed as he absorbed the electricity & struck Dirty Dan down with a casual bolt of lightning from the point of his finger. Emperor Dan roared at Dirty Dan as a warning, & the former took his camera & left through the Warp Zone, defeated & displeased.
Dirty Dan currently resides in his home universe, which is known to people outside of it as the Filthiverse.
== Personality ==
Dirty Dan is vulgar, rude, & uncaring of other people's feelings. He has no filter & says what he wants when he wants. Tormenting his bullies has ironically turned himself into a bully. With a lack of respect & decorum, he is not welcomed by the residents of the Terrachaoverse, but is presumably liked in his home realm, as evident by his internet fame. However, he is not that close-minded, & is willing to try new things. He also dislikes Variants of himself, but is secretly hiding the fact that he feels inferior to them, especially Emperor Dan.
== Powers & Abilities ==
=== Physical Abilities ===
Superhuman Strength: Dan was exposed to radiation at a young age, but it gave him abilities beyond the average Human as a result, which included enhancing his physical capabilities. He can ragdoll Frogman's Pets, casually throw around the Barfing Water Can, & has fought against other Super Battle Bros. Participants, including ones from his own universe. Based on who he's fought, it's likely that he is powerful enough to destroy multiple city blocks.
* Kancho: Dirty Dan has perfected the art of the Kancho, an ancient Japanese technique of making finger-guns with both your hands & ramming them into someone's ass at deadly speeds. This is a taboo & challenging move to perform.
Superhuman Speed: Dan's travel speed is unknown, but his attack speed is in the massively hypersonic range due to his usage of lightning as an attack. He can also eat faster than the average Human.
Durability: Dan is likely capable of withstanding the destruction of multiple city blocks given who he's fought against. The one on-screen showcase of his durability was when Emperor Dan gave him a warning shot with a casual bolt of lightning from his static electricity. While he toned it down so that it wouldn't kill him, this is still an impressive display given that Dan was able to quickly escape to the Warp Zone after getting hurt. 
Stealth: During the one on-screen Super Battle Bros. Tournament that he was shown to participate in, Dan showed an exceptionable degree in stealth, as he was not visible at all, whether in or out of the water, until Noodle-Tubian got vaporized.
=== Special Powers ===
Radiokinesis: Dan has manipulate radiation, as it's what gave him his powers to begin with.
* Radiation Poisoning: He can infect an area with radiation to the point where it causes living organisms to get sick from it. He used this ability when engaging in Super Battle Bros. Tournaments, as evident by the subtle green hue seen on his skin & in the water.
Electrokinesis: Dan can manipulate electricity to some extent.
* Corrupted Lightning: Dan can project bolts of lightning from his fingertips, much like his interdimensional counterpart. However, his lightning is dimmer, as it emits more shadow than light as shown by its black glow. While these bolts are quite destructive on their own, they were able to do nothing to Emperor Dan, who simply absorbed the energy.
Meme Manipulation: Dirty Dan breathes the memes & exhales the memes, injects the memes into his bloodstream & effectively lives for the memes. It's what he's all about, & they make him stronger.
* Acoustokinesis: Dirty Dan can manipulate sounds in a few ways, including the ability to increase the decibel levels of his voice & to emit the sounds he has heard in memes before.
* Deep Fried Glow: He can brighten his surroundings with extremely high contrast, resembling what are known as deep fried memes.
== Equipment ==
Oversized Stopwatch: Dan owns a clock that can stop the flow of time & is voice-automated to adhere to his commands. However, it is large in size & therefore not very portable, requiring two hands to carry. He used this in a Super Battle Bros. Tournament once but was banned from future tournaments afterwards because he wasn't playing fair, as time manipulation is a rare power among the beings of the Multiverse. So, despite that he still owns the clock, it is tournament illegal.
== Weaknesses ==
Dirty Dan is full of himself, & although he is willing to listen to other people's opinions, he will always believe his are right in the end. His overconfidence is a clear weakness, as he thought his Corrupted Lightning could harm, or at the very least briefly stun Emperor Dan, only for it to backfire immensely. 
Also, if he uses the Kancho & misses, it may break his fingers, & if his ability to speak is rendered inert, then he cannot use his Stopwatch. 
== Trivia ==
* His entire character & mannerisms are directly based off of Filthy Frank. He even acknowledged Frank himself when entering the Terrachaoverse. His middle name is also derived from him.
* His name is also based off of a joke from Spongebob.
* He is the second Variant of Daniel Ledda to appear in the series after Manuel Ledda II. 
* He has a notable dislike for weeaboos, furries, social justice warriors, effeminate males (whom he calls "traps"), Tik Tok users, people on DeviantART, & vegans.
