Leo Dooley

**Leo Dooley** is one of the main characters of Lab Rats and the series' main protagonist.

## Biography

Leo Francis Dooley was born May 7th, 1998 to Tasha Davenport. His father's identity remains a mystery; however, it is implied that they weren't close because Leo doesn't seem to mention him at all in the series.  Instead, he had a close relationship with his mother, maternal grandmother Rose and his aunt Janice.  Living with a single mother, Tasha and Leo always spent time together on his birthday . She became a news reporter to support herself but Leo but he never thought highly of her broadcasts. He tried warning her to stay away from online dating, but respected Tasha's decision to marry Donald. After his parents' marriage, Leo and Tasha decided to move into Donald's mansion: however, Donald did not tell his wife or step-son that three bionic teenagers were living in his basement.

### *The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance*

Leo met Rian and when Leo did not attack him, Rian trusted him and kept him hidden in the catacombs. Leo revealed his story and helped him escape SkekSil and SkekTek with him and Gurjin. After SkekMal kidnapped Rian, Leo used his laser spheres to intimidate SkekSil when he was saving Rian and the Skeksis during the battle of Stone in the Wood. Leo accompanied his family to the Circle of the Suns, and had to fight off SkekMal with little skills he had left when trying to free Brea of him. He later went to Grot with Rian and Deet via Bree's super speed. Before the battle of the Stone in the Wood, Leo met Seladon and bonded over feeling overshadowed by a sibling until realizing how petty it was. During the battle, he incapacitated SkekLach before he was killed by Deet. However, Douglas gives Leo a bit of friendly advice when Donald cannot and tells him he can fight. Returning home with the Skeksis in tow with his step-dad Donald and Douglas finding the kids, Leo said farewell to Seladon.

## Personality

Being a teenager in high school, Leo is still trying to find his place in it the world; however, he is sarcastic but is also caring when it comes to it. At the beginning of the series, he was in still in what his future self called his "clumsy" phase but he formed a quick bond with Adam, Bree, and Chase. Despite being scared of them at first, he claimed them to be his best friends and considered them his own siblings, calling Adam and Chase his brothers and Bree his sister In "Leo's Jam" and "Smart and Smarter." In turn, the trio have come to see Leo as their younger brother and closest friend, even trying to throw him a birthday party in return for all his hard work being their sibling. However, Leo can be arrogant at times, though not as much as Donald, however this is sometimes built upon never being able to go on missions with Adam, Bree and Chase because he's not Bionic. Additionally, did this by sometimes using Bree and Adam's bionics to his advantage and trying to one-up Chase. He is very close with his family and will do anything to protect them. This is proven when he tried desperately to prove to his family that Marcus was evil and that he and Douglas were trying to capture Adam, Bree and Chase[20]. Despite teasing each other, Leo always helps his siblings and step-father whenever they are in need, as he went to face Marcus and Douglas to save them when the villainous duo captured them. In Season 2, Leo began maturing but wanted to become part of the team; however, Donald pushed him aside because he was not bionic. After he stepped up on a mission that the other Lab Rats missed, Donald realized how responsible Leo was getting and made him the team's mission specialist[21]. By this season, Leo and Chase began having a stronger, brother relationship up to the point where Leo was able to break his brother out of Douglas and Krane's Triton App[22]. He could also be a rebellious teenager like he's mother Tasha was when she was younger and often disobeying his father Donald or his uncle Douglas.

In Season 3, Leo's maturity began to improve; instead of breaking his stepdad's inventions, Leo began to make his own and therefore began breaking his own, but only to learn from the mistakes. For example he constructed security orbs to protect his siblings from Douglas and Krane, only for them to backfire, which included the inability to tell the difference between a real threat and a harmless threat. When Tasha wanted to call Donald to help their son turn off the Orbs when Leo could not shut them down, he refused to have Donald help because he wanted to prove to his stepfather  he could do this on his own. However, Leo was able to find a way to deactivate them by tricking them to turn on each other and ended up telling his step-father what happened. He was told by Donald that despite it being a failure, he could still learn from the mistake. He later did it again in "Three Minus Bree" when Leo created a capsule that could analyze a subject's illness. However, the pill also backfired because Leo put Eddy's mainframe into the capsule that his mother consumed and Tasha was possessed by Eddy until Leo was forced to tell the truth to Donald. It is shown at this point, Leo was also willing to put the past behind himself and his enemies if they show change, as he did with Douglas in "Taken" and Taylor (S-1) in "One of Us." He willingly listened to what Douglas had to say about Victor Krane and agreed to a fresh start with Taylor, eventually becoming friends with both them. Despite still being slightly immature as he was in the past two seasons, he showed a great sense of maturity when talking to Douglas as the latter made fun of the fact that Donald could not fix Bree's chip when she smashed it. Leo told him that this was not about him beating Donald but rather helping Bree. On occasions with Donald and Douglas arguing, Leo mostly rolls his eyes in annoyance. He also has a childish side to his maturity. For example, he did look through Donald's suitcase and began to fight Douglas over an apparent high position as Donald's new Vice president only to learn his stepfather was messing with them in Face Off; however, Leo did admit that it was wrong of them to snoop around Donald's things, but Douglas, showing he tried to get Leo to take most of the blame for everything. He also had a small rivalry with Spin, who is jealous of Leo because he can go on missions unlike him and liked to make him look bad. However Leo, despite taking a selfie with Spin and Bob while stuck in quicksand, berated them from going on a mission alone; when he learned Spin only wanted to prove he could go on missions when he was Leo's age, the teenager empathized with him and assured Spin he would get there eventually, which also improved their relationship.

Despite not having super intelligence like Chase, Leo was quite intelligent teenager and was mentioned being the smart kid in school in the episode's premiere, mentioning it's not easy for him to Chase and the other Lab Rats. He is also quite intelligent, shown that he never liked Marcus even before it was revealed that Marcus was evil. Leo could also come up with plans for the missions, eventually becoming the team's strategic mission specialist. Like his brother Chase, Leo will sometimes remind people of the bigger picture, showing his sense of maturity yet again. The first time he reminded his siblings that they had to save Donald during the jet wing incident because he did the stupid stunt to give them the Lab back, causing Bree to realize their brother was right. Another time happened in "Which Father Knows Best?" where Leo told Douglas to get past his rivalry with his brother after Leo told him Donald couldn't fix Bree's chip when she broke it because Bree was more important. Additionally, Leo scolded his siblings for causing a blackout and fighting in "Rise of the Secret Soldiers." He also easily deduced that Douglas was behind cyberhacking Donald back when he was evil. Characters such as Douglas has said that Leo is a smart kid ever since the Marcus incident.

Ever since his mother married Donald, Leo remained supportive of her decision. After meeting his siblings, he wanted to become bionic like them, dropping hints to Donald. However, Douglas later gave Leo bionics to save his arm. The boy was excited but reckless with his bionics, something that caused Leo to connect Daniel with. Despite his closeness with Adam, Bree and Chase, Leo felt overshadowed by his older siblings, similar to how Chase felt when Adam and Bree are praised more than him in "Avalanche" and how Douglas felt with Donald all of his life. This is shown in "Lab Rats: On the Edge," where he expresses hope that his siblings don't see him as just their little brother. However, Leo became slightly arrogant, but only because Chase kept degrading him, wanting to show Adam, Bree and Chase his team was better and inadvertantly causing Taylor to go blind after maxing out their EMP Generation ability and what caused Leo to quit the Bionic Academy out of guilt. It wasn't until two weeks later when Leo came out of a sight retirement after his family was in trouble; however he was reluctant to save them because of what he had done to Taylor. However, she did not blame Leo for what happened because it was an accident and encouraged him that she shouldn't let her blindness stop her from being a Bionic hero and neither should his own guilt. Leo gained the confidence and was able to free his siblings, dad and uncle from the self-driving car.

After saving Chase and taking charge, Donald realizes Leo is ready and levels him up to mentor, where Chase tells Leo he is proud of his little brother. He also expressed hope to Bree and Chase that he would see his brother and sister again.

## Powers and Abilities

### Bionic Abilities

**Bionic Arm:** After Leo Dooley's arm was crushed by a ceiling beam that landed on him by a brainwashed Taylor (S-1), Douglas Davenport enhanced Leo's right arm with bionic technology, as it was the only way it could be completely healed, as without bionics, Leo could never use his regular arm again. Additionally, Douglas gave Leo the following abilities for his arm, which includes:

* **Laser Sphere Generation:** Douglas gave Leo the ability to generate laser spheres in his hand. It is Leo's primary ability, and he uses it to knock out dangerous opponents, such as Victor Krane and Taylor (S-1).
	+ **EMP Generation:** with another bionic soldier, Leo and his partner will generate an electromagnetic pulse when combining their laser spheres. the EMP is strong enough to knock out any circuitry or technology. Both Leo and Taylor used the EMP generation for the first time and made all the lights go out at the academy. When they tried it a second time, Leo and Taylor overloaded their abilities and led to Leo accidentally blinding her. However, they were able to successfully create another EMP and take out a silver fin keeping Donald, Douglas, and the other Lab Rats locked in their self-driving limousine. It is hinted Leo and Taylor only use this ability as a last resort and try to not use it as often because it is too dangerous, much like the Mind Link Chase, Adam and Bree use.
* **Energy Transference:** Leo has an ability to absorb the energy out of any power source. It is one of his hidden abilities given to him by Douglas to fight in"Rise of the Secret Soldiers." He also used it to bring Donald back to life and used it to absorb the kinetic energy of a Space Elevator while using his super strength.
* **Super Strength:** His bionic arm has Super Strength which allows Leo to at least lift a couch , but his arm is strong enough to break Perry's hand when he shook it.
* **Two Simultaneous Abilities:** when stopping an accelerated space elevator while supposedly saving his father, Leo used his super strength to stop the elevator and absorbed the kinetic energy to slow it down.
* **Bionic Leg:** Leo was given a bionic one by Donald after his original was crushed by a space elevator. It is more powerful than his bionic arm, being able to cut through the metal cage he, his siblings and the students were trapped in.
	+ **Super Kick:** Leo's leg can kick pretty far, as he was able to kick Adam's baseball and kick Eddy up into the air. His kick was able to break through a wall.

### Non-Bionic Abilities

* **Leadership/Expert Tactician:** Despite being irresponsible at first, throughout the years, Leo became a capable leader. Chase tells Tasha that Leo knows how to remain calm in dangerous situations and take control whenever they are on missions. This is shown in the episode Forbidden Hero, where Leo directed Adam on rescuing his mother. In Lab Rats: On the Edge, Leo mananged to lead Logan and Taylor in rescuing his family. He directed Taylor with creating their EMP Generation ability and then use Logan's Energy Manipulation ability to direct the EMP to a device that was keeping Leo's family locked in the self-driving limo. Because of his leadership, Donald promoted Leo to mentor and Chase acknowledged that Leo was meant to be a hero.
* **Martial Arts:** It is shown that Leo can use martial arts like the Lab Rats, though it seems he can only use martial arts when he was bionic. Most of the time he uses his quick wit to get out of dangerous situations and enemies. He attempted to fight Douglas in Taken but couldn't due to Douglas being the better fighter.
* **Skilled Fire-Staff Fighter:** In Alien Gladiators, he is seen beating many competitors in the competition even the most skilled ones. He is a formidable fire-staff warrior and even defeated Donald Davenport, who is very skilled in martial arts, weaponry, and fire-staff, itself. To be fair, Leo only won against his father because his back gave out. However, he managed to defeat principal Perry
* **Bravery:** Leo is very brave, even facing Marcus by himself and an attemt to fight Douglas. He also stood up against Krane and Taylor despite them being more dangerous than any enemy Leo and his family faced, as he quickly backed down when Krane threatened to hurt him. He fought in the Bionic War and goes on mission to save people. He even underwent a rescue to save his mother with Adam when a category five storm nearly blowing her out to sea.
* **Peak Level Marksman**: Leo is said to be a terrible shot, especially in the Episode You Posted What!?! where Leo stated he had poor coordination. He was able to accidentally hit a metal barrel off its stand and hit Krane spot on the head though he was not intending to hit them with his arm. However, when Leo was training with Douglas, he managed to hit at target board three times in a row. His aim was off when he had to harpoon a spider but couldn't do it until Bree took over. However, Leo's aim seemed to have improved through training, and because he was able to fire at the liquid Bionic serum without much trouble.
* **Peak-Level Intellect:** Leo has Intelligence that is above average but not as much as Chase's and it said he excels in technology and science in several aspects after spending time in the lab. Characters such as Douglas and Chase have even acknowledged Leo has been smart but doesn't have input on biology when they were reanimated a dead spider. He also helped Donald lay out the team's mission and come up with quick solutions. He also knew who Marcus truly was before his true colors were revealed to him. However, he could not trace any of the IP addresses Donald supplied him with because Douglas layered them and ended up dead-end after dead end. However, he realized digital was the one who hacked into Davenport Industries and stole all the money and in Season 3, Leo could also realize Krane was behind the bionic secret getting exposed with Douglas.

## Weaknesses

### Glitches

* **Super Strength Unawareness:** Though his super strength cannot glitch, Leo sometimes remains unaware that he is using his bionic strength, lifting one of the couches in his living room when he was looking for his smart phone.
* **Bionic Sleepwalking:** Because Leo's arm was not calibrated properly into his nervous system without a capsule, it caused Leo to sleep walk while using his laser sphere ability. However, Douglas gave Leo an arm capsule to stop this from happening.
* **Uncontrollable Laser Spheres:** Sometimes, Leo cannot have control of his laser spheres, as they set off uncontrollably when he is sleepwalking. They usually activate uncontrollably when Leo is excited (as he nearly set Douglas' hair on fire), panicking nearly burned Janelle alive, or irritated (by a fly, Leo's laser sphere blasted).

### Character Flaws

* **Arrogance:** Leo's second greatest flaw will sometimes show arrogance but at the end of the day, he usually learns that it takes more than recognition to be a hero.
* **Recklessness/Heroics:** Leo's will to help others can be a strength as well as a weakness, especially out of reckless actions. At one point, Leo wanted to save his whole family from government agents when they were captured in "You Posted What!?!"however, Douglas knew that they couldn't help their family while outnumbered and the only way they could have helped them is by escaping to prove Adam, Bree and Chase's innocence. He was also the only one who initially went on the mission to rescue a helicopter trapped on the side of the roof on the building when Adam, Bree and Chase blew it off as a false alarm. However, he didn't think it through, as he was trapped holding the helicopter until Adam, Bree and Chase came to rescue him.

## Relationships

### Canon

#### Ezra Bridger

In a way, Ezra and Leo are fairly similar. They are both protective of their family and both mature as their stories go on. They have a habit of inadvertently creating their own plans and get embarrassed by their father figures, Donald Davenport and Kanan Jarrus. However, they sometimes clash with each other once in a while.
