**Douglas Orville Davenport** is the tritagonist of *Lab Rats*. He is the estranged younger brother of Donald Davenport, biological father of Adam, Bree, Chase and Daniel Davenport, and step-uncel of Leo Dooley. Douglas also created an android son, Marcus and created bionics for both Victor Krane and Leo's arm.

In the beginning of the series, Douglas attempts to undermine his brother to take back his children, Adam, Bree, and Chase and pull off crimes. However, Douglas begins the path of redemption when he learns his partner, Victor Krane, wants to destroy his children and saves the kids from him. He fully redeems when Leo comes to him for help fixing Bree's chip. Afterwards, he becomes the Lab Ratts' and their ally as Douglas and Donald finally reconciled.

## Personality

At the beginning of the series, Douglas' evilness was built on the fact that he used to be bullied by his brother, Donald and felt overshadowed by all of Donald's successes. Because of their poor relationship, Douglas became anti-social and distant, driven by his hatred and jealousy of his older brother. The poor treatment Douglas got is what led him to go behind Donald's back and create four bionic human children, Adam, Bree, Chase, and Daniel. Douglas came to hate his brother after Donald learned what his younger brother intended to do with the children and kicking his out of Davenport Industries and taking Adam, Bree, and Chase away from Douglas caused him to find ways to get revenge on Donald. Despite their differences Donald and Douglas were more alike than they realized: intelligent, but proud, egotistical, and arrogant, making their arguing ironic. Despite this, the two brothers could never learn to get along and Douglas would stop at nothing until he ruined his brother for taking his kids away from him. Douglas was once selfish and uncaring, such as using children as weapons, starting wars, and robbing old women and taking over a country no matter what the cost. Though he had a father/son relationship with Marcus, he didn't seem to care that Marcus would burn out before he was sixteen. He also had no qualms turning Adam, Bree, and Chase into bionic superhumans of mass destruction, selling them to the highest bidder, whether they be dictators or mad Men. He had no qualms with harming Leo when they were enemies, despite him only being fifteen years old, considering him a "nosy kid" who constantly gets in his way. Douglas later left Marcus for dead so he could ensure his own survival. Despite his negative traits when he was evil, there was still a lighter side to him, as there were times when his sense of humor would overshadow the seriousness in a room. He still cared for his bionic children. He did what was best for his youngest creation, Daniel, by giving him up for a chance at a normal life and he did take on a stray dog, Otis, giving him bionics to save his life and he saved Chase from an avalanche (in this case, however, Douglas was attempting to manipulate Chase) and later protected the Lab Rats from Victor Krane saving their lives once. He obsessively loved his children, up to the point where he tracked their GPS chips. When he did capture Aram, Bree, and Chase in "Sink or Swim," he wanted to use them for scams but also develop a family connection with them, like making Mondays family game nights.

In most of his earlier appearances when encountering Donald, Douglas could be quite childish and acts like an immature younger brother trying to get back at his older brother. When they were reunited after fifteen years, Douglas and Donald first insulted each other by calling themselves by their embarrassing nicknames and they continued mocking each other.  He stole money from Donald and only blew up his brother's lab to get back at him for taking Adam, Bree, and Chase from him. Later, when Douglas was with both Leo and Chase, they called Douglas out on his rivalry with their father. In the latter's case, Douglas pointed out he just wanted to get back at Donald, Chase wondered when both were just going to grow up, Douglas shouted in anger that he would "grow up when [Donald] grows up."  Meanwhile in Leo's presence, after Douglas gloated Donald could not fix something he made (Bree's chip) and that [he won] again, Leo told him it was about Bree, and not about Douglas beating his brother. Apart from getting back at his brother through all these years, Douglas had to bury the hatchet for them to work together to fix Bree's chip. Eventually, the two moved past their petty grudge after Donald decided to give his brother a second chance.

During his one last attempt to control Adam, Bree, and Chase, Douglas enjoyed using the kids to torment his family, reacting mostly like a five-year-old tormenting his older brother. He was driven to do this is stemmed out of his rivalry for his brother, and, it comes from the fact that both Douglas and Donald were arrogant and childish. However, Leo spoke through to Chase, much to Douglas's frustration, and he later told Adam to attack Chase, but not enough to damage him. After Chase override the Triton App from Adam and Bree and Krane made it clear that he wanted them destroyed once Douglas fixed the App, it was made clear that Douglas didn't want to hurt them and allowed Douglas to reminiscent on his past actions. Between his appearances, Douglas tried reconciling with his brother, kids and nephew, first by sending then friend requests, but they refused every time. Only Adam accepted it, as it appeared Douglas’s eldest son had begun to forgive him. When Douglas contacted them again, he was genuinely there to warn the family that Krane was a danger to them all. However, because Douglas tried killing Donald and his youngest son (Leo) and kidnapping Adam, Bree and Chase constantly, the family refused to trust him and didn't heed Douglas' warning. By this point, Douglas was afraid of Krane and turned to Leo because he was the first to figure out what Douglas and Marcus were up to. Unlike their previous encounter, Douglas spoke to Leo in a good-natured and friendly matter, convincing his step-nephew that Krane was a serious threat. Subsequently, he saved Adam, Bree, and Chase when Krane was about to kill them and in return, Chase saved his biological father by throwing up his Force field to deflect Krane's attack on Douglas. The man would have succeeded in killing Krane had his brother returned shortly after rescuing his wife and son. Donald tossed Douglas out of the house and the younger Davenport left in defeat.

Afterward, Douglas went into hiding and kept his distance from the Davenports until Leo approached him for help to fix Bree's bionic chip after she destroyed it. He also came to Leo's defense when Donald yelled at his son for disobeying him, telling his brother to “lay off the kid” because Leo was just trying to help. The brothers began to pointlessly argue until they realized Bree's haywire abilities could potentially kill her and the two brothers solved the problem together. Afterwards, Donald chose to forgive Douglas from the past after Douglas apologizes for hurting the family, Douglas was invited to live with them for the time being. Since then, Douglas has been kinder and caring to his family, such as not bickering with his brother as much, giving the kids new bionic Abilities, such as Bree's invisibility, Chase's laser-Bo and giving Adam lung capacity and becoming close friends with Leo, such as enhancing his arm with bionics after it was crushed by a ceiling beam caused to land on him by Taylor, and finally had a chance at being a father towards his youngest son, Daniel, showing Douglas is a changed man.

## Biography

Douglas is the younger brother of Donald Davenport, the uncle of Leo and Naomi, the brother-in-law of Tasha Davenport, and the father of Adam, Bree, Chase and Daniel and creator of the Android Marcus.

In college, Douglas dated fellow scientist and robotics major, Giselle Vickers. However, the relationship ended badly, as Giselle broke up with Douglas, which he recounted as the worst day of his life. Additionally, he attended med school but was quickly dismissed for screaming upon seeing the needles and a cooking class in the 90s.

In 1992, Douglas and Donald co-founded Davenport Industries, where they began developing bionic technology that would be installed into Androids who would perform impossible missions and tasks that humans could not handle. However, Douglas knew that Androids would burn out quickly, and turned his and his brothers technology compatible for human use. Douglas genetically engineered four humans, Adam, Bree, Chase and Daniel and placed the bionics in the children through a bionic chip that could be inserted in their neck. Though it worked, the kids Douglas created would glitch because the technology was only meant to be used in Androids. He hoped to use them as beings of mass destruction and cyber soldiers until his brother Donald figured out what his younger brother was up to. He disowned his brother and booted him out of Davenport Industries, taking Adam, Bree and Chase. Douglas, however, managed to take his youngest son, Daniel, who was a baby at the time. Faking his death and wanting his son to grow up normal, Douglas gave up Daniel for adoption because Douglas knew that he couldn't be a father to his son while on the run.

He later used the same technology to give the bionics to Victor Krane in relation to their (dissolved) partnership), Marcus Davenport to fight against Adam, Bree and Chase and Leo Dooley to repair his broken arm.

## Powers and Abilities

* **Genius-Level Intellect:** Much like Donald, Douglas is a genius of multiple fields; he is even smarter than Donald, creating technology such as short range teleportation, which Donald hadn't mastered yet. He also claimed and proved to be the better programmer. It was he who made Adam, Bree and Chase and gave them their bionics in the first place. He was also able to hack Eddy, Davenport Industries, and Donald's bank account all without being caught. Douglas has lots of intelligence on bionic abilities and he has shown capable of giving Chase his Laser Bo ability, Adam's Pressurized Lung Capacity, Bree ability to turn Invisible, and Leo's Energy Transference ability. Douglas even created a virus while thinking on his feet to fry all of Giselle's systems. However, he has trouble decrypting Victor Krane's software.
* **Martial Arts:** Just like Donald, Douglas is an accomplished fighter, able to take Donald on at an equal level. He claimed he was the better fighter of the two; however this was not proven, as their fight never reached a climax.
* **Medical Knowledge:**Douglas is savvy about medical treatments. For example is aware of common practices of how doctors deal with amnesic patients. However, the credibility of his knowledge is questionable as he never completed his doctorate, because he flunked out due to screaming at the sight of needles. He did show skill in repairing severely damaged limbs such as when he repaired Leo's arm after it was damaged.
* **Excellent Strategist:** Douglas is an accomplished strategist, able to come up with incredibly complex and brilliant plans quickly.
* **Triton App:** He can hack the bionic systems and takes control of the target, causes the victim's irises (colored part of the eye) to glow green. Can only affect the bionics circuits, not their human attributes, this weakness is exploited by Chase when breaking control of the Triton App, but faints almost immediately after.
* **Detective Skills:**In "You Posted What?!?" it is shown Douglas does have detective skills, and made careful observations while trying to investigate the natural gas pipeline.
* **Cooking**: Douglas went to cooking school as a result he can cook very well. He can even cook street food, when he became a vendor while hiding from Krane.
* **Impressions:**Douglas claims he does a killer Krane impression, but when he pretended to be Krane while trying to get Taylor to remember how to deactivate a doomsday app, she hoped that if she was going to explode, she would take out Chase and Douglas.

## Relationships

### Donald Davenport

Donald is Douglas' older brother and though they grew up together, but the latter was often the one to overshadow Douglas and sometimes, used to bully him when he was younger, being not that different from their sons, Chase and Adam. Since their falling out, Douglas tries desperately to get back at his brother for taking his children and plotted to get them back. However, the brothers reconciled when they worked together to recreate Bree's chip. Donald acknowledges he was being a little hard on Douglas and allows him to stay at their home for a while. Despite reconciling, Donald and Douglas continue to fight and have a relationship and was deeply concerned for his brother when he was sustained in critical condition. When it comes to the kids, Douglas claims they like him more than Donald because he gave them hidden abilities. Apart from this, Donald learned to trust his brother by letting him oversee the bionic Academy in his absence. During a conversation on the phone, Douglas promised not to tweak Leo,Adam, Bree and Chase's bionics like he normally did.

### Chase Davenport

Chase is Douglas' second-youngest son and adoptive nephew. Out of all his children, he appeared to connect with Chase the most, due to both feeling overshadowed by an older sibling and underappreciated, as he saved Chase from an avalanche. He offered to give his son Bree's speed and Adam's strength. However, he was manipulating his son the whole time. After Douglas escaped, Chase continued to hate his biological father but seemed to slowly forgive him, as he tried stopping Donald from throwing Douglas out of the house at least twice. Douglas later saved his sons and daughter from Victor Krane when he tried to kill them. Since re-creating Bree's chip and Douglas reconciling with his brother, Douglas and Chase began growing close and hung out more than Adam and Bree do with Douglas, even bringing a dead spider back to life. Douglas also did everything he could to help rescue Chase from Giselle when she abducted him.

### Leo Dooley

Leo is Douglas' step-nephew and former enemy. Initially, Douglas was highly annoyed with Leo's constant interference and ordered Marcus to kill him, despite him being just a kid. Despite their status as enemies, in season 3, Douglas came to Leo when Krane became unstable and he came to him when Leo needed Douglas to help Bree get her bionics back by recreating her bionic chip after she destroyed it. Since then, they have learned to get along better and became close friends, especially since Donald let Douglas moved into the Dooley-Davenport household and later came to care for Leo as a friend, such as making him a bionic arm after learning he would never be able to use it without bionic components. Douglas gave him a bionic arm after learning he would never be able to use his normal arm again and he trained Leo how to use it properly. Since their friendship evolved, the two are more comfortable around each other, and now, Leo tells Daniel that Douglas is not that bad of a guy and told Daniel that his father was only trying to help. Douglas later gave Leo the responsibility to train Daniel, believing he could handle it; but was infuriated that Leo gave Daniel to the new, upgraded bionic chip, after specifically telling him not to. Douglas later saved Leo from Marcus, knowing that it would be a fight his nephew could not win.

### Bree Davenport

Bree is Douglas' biological and only daughter and adoptive niece. She initially hated her biological father but learned to get used to him when they began living together after Donald let him move in. He helped fix Bree's chip and even gave her the new ability of invisibility. However, Bree does not trust Douglas, mostly because he steals Tasha's bracelets out of respect for her close relationship with her adoptive mother.

### Daniel Davenport

Daniel is Douglas' youngest son and child and someone he is rather protective of. He gave him up for adoption because he knew he could not raise a child while on the run. He reunited with his son when Daniel was thirteen and contacted Douglas, who was not ready to be a father. Despite this, experiences with Adam, Bree, and Chase taught Douglas to be a better father for Daniel, such as be honest with him, help him get used to his bionic abilities and give him advice on family.

### Tasha Davenport

Douglas does not get along with his sister-in-law, mostly because he kidnapped Adam, Bree and Chase, tried to kill her husband and son and even gave Leo bionics. It is revealed Douglas also steals her bracelets, which is why Bree does not trust her biological father.
