Douglas Davenport

**Douglas Davenport** is a main character in the series. He was the creator of the original three Lab Rats and Daniel Davenport. Both he and Donald split the responsibility of helping Adam and Leo run the Bionic Academy and Chase and Bree in Centium City with the Elite Force. It later turns out, Daniel and his great-niece, Nat from twenty-five years into the future prevented Douglas from getting attacked by Reese.

## Overview

Douglas was born in the 1974 and the younger brother of Donald, the father of Adam, Bree, Chase, and Daniel, the brother-in-law of Tasha, and the uncle of Leo, and Naomi. As children, Douglas was often bullied by his older brother and underappreciated (as revealed when he tried connecting with Chase in "Avalanche"). Because he was often mocked by his brother, it turned Douglas into a bitter, anti-social scheming genius. Their parents' names were never given in the series. According to Douglas, he does not want his mother to know he was alive because she never stops calling him.

He attended college, and during this time, he was dating a robotics major Giselle Vickers. However, she broke up with him, causing Douglas to be heartbroken and one of the most worst days of his life. He later went to med school tostudy to be a doctor. However Douglas was dismissed for screaming too loudly when he saw the needles. Instead he went to cooking school some time in the 1990s.

Donald and Douglas founded Davenport Industries in 1992, creating technology and sent androids on missions that were meant to perform things impossible for humans to do. However, Douglas found a way to infuse Bionics with the human nervous system, but it could cause whoever used them to glitch. He went behind his brother's back, genetically engineered four humans, Adam, Bree, Chase and Daniel, and gave them bionics. Douglas wanted to use them as cyber-soldiers of mass destruction, selling

them to terrorists and dictat until Donald figured out what his brother was up to and promptbooted him out of Davenport Industries and ly disowned him, taking Bree, Chase, and Adaawand hiding them in a lab he createy with hopes of raising thes heronan nd use their powers for od.go Douglas only managed to get away with Daniel, who was a baby at the time, and faked his own death, leading everyone to belie he died,vincluding his parents and brotherd.

Losing his three eldest children, Douglas gave up his youngest son to a family looking to adopt to ensure he had a normal life (And Then There Were Four). Faking his own death, he led his brother and parents to believe he had died while on the run.

At some point, Douglas became partners with millionaire Victor Krane, who provided Douglas with money in exchange for Douglas to give him his research and bionically enhancing him. Back when he was evil, Douglas found a stray dog, Otis, and put bionics in him to heal the dog. Meanwhile, Krane did the same thing to Douglas as he had done to Donald years prior by going behind Douglas' back and created at least one-hundred bionic soldiers and infuse them with Douglas' bionic research. However, he never thought anything by it. To have Adam, Bree and Chase back, he created Marcus and have him all the kids abilities and finally, Douglas could get revenge on his brother once and for all but he never took into account that the Lab Rats' brother, and Donald's stepson, Leo would get in the way.

## 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. However, Douglas does some questionable things once in a while. This included suggesting to Leo he could blow up the lab again so they could escape the U.S. Government and the fact that he sometimes continues to drop felonies once in a while.

However at times, he does have some of his destructive tendencies remaining on at least two occasions. In "You Posted What?!?" Douglas suggested to Leo that he could blow up the Lab again so they could escape from government agents until Leo came up with a better solution. This is also notable in "Mission Mania", where Douglas made inventions that caused the students harm, such as a bazooka loaded with pencils that could potentially harm someone or a lie detector chair that would spin violently if the subject was lying. Despite this, Douglas remained an anti-hero the rest of the series. He was reluctant to connect with Daniel due to past incidents with his own kids but the two formed a strong father & son relationship. He also cares about the well-being of the students that lived at the bionic Academy as he demanded that Giselle reveal where she was holding the kids hostage and threatened to kill her. When he learned Marcus was alive again, Douglas begged him to stop torturing Daniel and tried offering them to be a family again. However, Marcus refused and when he tried to kill Leo again, Douglas saw his android son was beyond reason and ended him by melting him.

## 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 encrypting Victor Krane's software.
	+ **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. However, 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.
	+ **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 with Leo.
	+ **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 and even Chase and Leo have commented on how well he made soup and chip dip.
	+ **Piloting**: Like his brother Donald, Douglas is a skilled at flying a helicopter. This was shown in Sink or Swim when he rescued Adam, Bree, and Chase while being disguised as his brother.
* **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.
* **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 Leo and Chase when the former broke the latter out of the Triton App's control (with guidance from Donald); however, Chase still fainted almost immediately after.
* **Impressions:** Douglas claims he does a killer Krane impression, and Douglas said he used to kill it at their dinner parties (before Krane threatened to kill him). 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, the two did not get along. Douglas often felt overshadowed by his brother and was often bullied by Donald when they were younger, being not that different from their sons, Chase and Adam. When Douglas resurfaced in 2013, he revealed himself to Donald but strangely enough, he only had Marcus stun him and didn't harm Donald when he was their prisoner. Since his appearance, Douglas tries desperately in getting back at his brother for taking his children and plotted to get them back. In "Sink or Swim Douglas said he loves tormenting his brother and that was why he sent Adam, Bree, and Chase under the Triton app after Donald, Leo and Tasha.

However, Douglas grew terrified of his partner Victor Krane and genuinely warned Donald and the kids that Victor Krane was dangerous. When Douglas rescues the kids, Donald had his brother at gunpoint and ordered him to leave his house but unlike dogs, Donald was willing to show Douglas mercy. By now the two would have an overgrown sibling rivalry that has gone too far. Because of their big egos, it took Leo to convince Douglas to let go of his petty against his brother, as this was about fixing Bree's chip and not about their big egos. The brothers worked together to recreate Bree's chip. However, Donald kicks Douglas out of the house yet again until the older brother 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, especially when it comes with dealing Adam, Bree, Chase and Leo's bionics.

### Leo Dooley

They were initially bitter enemies because of the teenager's constant interference in his and Marcus' own plan to abduct Adam, Bree and Chase. Since then, Douglas had Marcus target Leo and sent his android son to end Leo, despite him being a kid. Douglas tried killing Leo and his family at least 522 times (as mentioned in one of the episodes). One of these occasions included trying to blow up the lab with Leo and Donald in it and sending Adam, Bree, and Chase after the family under the Triton App. In the latter, Douglas underestimated Leo's and Chase's relationship, as the younger Davenport brother broke Chase out of it.

However, despite his past with his family, Douglas visited Leo at school and came to warn him about Krane, knowing full well that his step-nephew would believe him because he knew about Marcus and Douglas before the rest of the team did. Despite the past, Leo listened and believed Douglas about Krane after watching a video of Krane implanting himself with bionics. Since then, Douglas calls Leo "the kid" in a good-natured manner. After Bree destroyed her chip to become normal, Leo went to Douglas (behind Donald's back) for help fixing her chip.

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, 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.

The two appeared to have moved behind their enmity, but Leo mentioned he has to refrain himself from taking out Douglas at least five times a day, as Leo tells Daniel that his father is not "that bad of a guy" and reasoned with him why Douglas lied to him.

### Chase Davenport

Chase is Douglas' second-youngest child, 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 and was manipulating his son the whole time. Chase seemingly agreed and apparently joined Douglas' side. He smuggled him into Donald's Lab because of Douglas' lack of resources. Douglas offered for Chase to call him "Dad" but the boy declined, as it was an awkward situation for them both. When Adam, Bree and Donald confronted Chase and Douglas, Chase revealed he was playing Douglas the whole time, because he would never betray his own family because they were a team. Just as Douglas was about to hurt Donald, Bree, Adam and Leo Chase acted quickly and froze Douglas in a block of ice.

However, Douglas escaped, and when the family was reunited, Chase continued to resent his biological father as he imprisoned the Lab Rats yet again and controlled Chase and his siblings with the Triton App. However, Douglas underestimated Chase's and Leo's bond because the latter had broken the former out of the Triton App and Douglas and Krane's control. Even when Chase was freed from the Triton App, Douglas had Bree and Adam attack him to incapacitate him rather than kill. When Krane later intended to destroy Adam, Bree and Chase, Douglas turned against him and tried warning the family that Krane was coming after them. However, Chase did not believe him, but had belief that Douglas may be telling the truth. After Douglas came to save them, Chase immediately used his Force Field and used it to block Krane's killing blow, effectively saving his biological father. Afterwards Chase 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 Douglas hung out more than Adam and Bree do with Douglas, even giving him more abilities after empathizing with Chase on what it was like to be picked on by an older brother. During the discovery of the Bionic Team's secret, Chase had apparently forgot to scan S-1's presence at the mission sight and Donald began to chastise Chase but Douglas came into his son's defense because he made a small mistake.
