Dan the Inconspicuous

*"BAHAHA It is I, Dan! The inconspicuous one-!"*
―Dan[src]
**Dan**, more commonly referred to as **Dan the Inconspicuous**, is a criminal enhanced individual, professionally known for presenting a cloaking device with the capability to turn himself invisible. Dan origianlly served as a member of the Newbie Alliance, with the intentions of competing in *IBLFB* as contestants together. However, due to the project's cancellation, Dan eventually resorted to a life of crime, before ultimately reunited with his old friends to participate in the *Battle for BFLBI* initiative. Joined by his best friend Alex, Dan reluctantly became a member of The Wildhead Nutcats, brilliantly determined to win A BFLBI. Encountering Daniel Coleman and Alex Rainsford, Dan temporarily sought to kill them, then unite with them, only to be attacked by Shrek. In Daniel and his Alex's attempts to save Dan, all three of them were electrocuted to their deaths after Dan's cloaking device technology mixed with the resources provided by Daniel and Alex's Proton Guns.

## History

### Eligible *IBLFB* Contestant

*"We were supposed to debut in a BFLBI Reboot that never came to be. We never got our chance to compete..."*
―James[src]
Dan, along with the other members of the Newbie Alliance, were originally set to be featured in *IBLFB*, guided by Simon. However, Silverhawk cancelled the show and moved on to make *Out Walking the Dog 2* instead, laying Dan and the other contestants off. Later on, Dan became a regular at the Disco Jam.

### *Battle for BFLBI: The Power of Tanner*

#### Joining *Battle for BFLBI*

*"Vile! How can I keep my role as The Undetectable One if my cloaking device keeps failing me... thisisvile..."*
―Dan[src]

In 2022, Dan, whilst invisible, walked upon the rest of the Newbie Alliance, who walked up to Sam so they could go to the Disco Jam together. Dan decided to prank the others and speak while invisible, making the rest of the Newbie Alliance scared, believing there to be a ghost. Suddenly, Dan's cloaking device backfired, revealing himself to everyone. Dan then rambled about his cloaking device not working. Dan and everyone else were later transported to Silverhawk and Four's location after Harold formed a Black Atom as an attempt to destroy the universe.

#### Joining The Wildhead Nutcats

*"I can't believe I ended up on a team with so many, USELESS, PITIFUL, ORGANISMS! Thisisvile."*
―Dan[src]

Instructed by Four to form eight teams of eight, Dan joined the Newbie Alliance, with the hopes of forming their own team, consisting of only those who never got to compete due to *IBFLB's* cancellation. However, the Newbie Alliance split up as Barry and Shane left to join The Death P.A.C.T., and James, Robert Robertson and Jacques went off to become members of The All.

With Dan and Alex being the only Newbies left, the two made their way to the location of the leftover contestants, consisting of Harold, Steve. Brian, John, Carlos and Rick. Upon arrival, Dan was annoyed that he was placed on a team consisting of multiple useless people. The team was later given the name of The Wildhead Nutcats.

#### Interactions With *The Shrekbusters*

*"Woah! Who are you?!"
"Oh, we're on different teams, we shouldn't talk to each other."
"Yeah, leave! Before you kill us!"
"Bahaha... relax. I won't kill you... yet..."*
―Daniel Coleman, Alex and Dan[src]

During the first challenge, Dan and Alex stumbled across Daniel Coleman and Alex Rainsford. Daniel and Alex looked over to Dan and his Alex, with Daniel questioning who they were. Due to the two groups being on different teams, Alex suggested that they shouldn't talk to each other. Daniel agreed, and told them to leave, assumed they would kill him and Alex, but Dan told them they he wasn't gonna kill them just yet.

Dan decided to change his mind and instead propose the idea of forming a secret alliance with Coleman and Rainsford, but was then attacked by Shrek. Dan fell flat on the grass as his Alex was taken away by Shrek to be brutally murdered. Daniel told Dan to watch out as Shrek came back for him. Shrek grabbed ahold of Dan as he screamed to tell him to let go. Daniel and his Alex activated their Proton Guns and fired streams at Shrek to try and stabilize him and rescue Dan, but the two accidentally created a Protonic Reversal. With the addition of the protonic electricity mixing with Dan's cloaking device, a shockwave was formed, electrocuting Dan, Daniel and Alex to their deaths.

## Trivia

* Dan is a fond user of the word "Vile".
* Dan calling Shrek a "vile being" references a scene in *Shrekbusters* where Daniel Coleman calls an Ogre a "vile creature". Coincidentally, Dan is voiced by *Shrekbusters'* director.
* ZeonZaeX explained that Dan's death in *Battle for BFLBI: The Power of Tanner* was originally going to involve him being brutally ripped in half by Shrek, similar to a scene in James Gunn's *The Suicide Squad*, where King Shark violently tears someone in half, with blood being included for good measure. However, the scene was cut by Silverhawk555 in order to avoid having too much gore that could ultimately lead to the level's moderation on *LittleBigPlanet*. Alex was also going to have a similar death.
