## Status

### Status

David Bell is William Wisp's older step brother and the CEO and owner of Bell Tech. As an NPC, He is played by BizlyChannel, aka Bizly.

## Description

### Appearance

He first revealed himself in S2E18 yet his casual appearance was never described. In S2E31 he appeared in a lab coat and surgical gloves.

### Personality

He speaks seriously and sincerely and never jokes. He's brave enough to deal with the unknown since he took the responsibility of dissecting a living powerful alien, who killed tens of his guards in a short period of time. When he was held at a gunpoint, he kept his cool and used leverage and diplomacy to get himself out of this dangerous situation. He believes that the police are useless and that they don't always know what's right. He thinks that the superheroes don't deserve the recognition they get because of the destruction they leave behind on Prime while "not really protecting anyone". If he could "fix" this, he would get rid of the superheroes in general. Despite spending a lot of time with the superheroes in the past, he stands by society never needing them in the first place thinking that that Prime was better off before The Resurgence.

## Background/History

(WIP) David Bell, just like his younger brother, was born and raised in Deadwood.

## Relationships

### Janet & Mr. Wisp

According to William's comment in S2E31, his parents trust him. When they were evacuated out of Deadwood, they stayed at David's place. Janet sees David's desire to know more about what his younger brother and the Prime Defenders are up to as simple sibling curiosity. Janet wishes him and his brother would get along and believes that David would never do anything malicious. She appreciates the employment that David provides and says that the people should thank him for that.

### William Wisp

Him and William never got along in the past. They talk very rarely: as William mentions, the last time they spoke was on David's last birthday over the phone. So when William called him in S2E14 David did not want to talk to him and wanted to end the call as soon as possible while William himself did not expect David to even pick up. It's safe to say their dislike for one another is mutual. Despite that, he expressed willingness to listen to William if he wanted to «come by … and ease [his] mind». A few days after the heist William did the same by texting him «... Let me know if you need to talk to anyone. I’m here.» David thinks negatively of William's decision to become a superhero supposing that William thinks he's better then him while actually making things worse.

Despite that, after seeing William in action in S2E31, he called William his favorite superhero because "[he's] willing to do what it takes: save as many people as [he] can" which draws a similarity between him and his brother. William still disagrees with the most of David's opinion on superheroes because of Dakota. In the same episode, despite his methods, David's desire to cure interplanetary diseases and his opinion on the uselessness of the police made William agree with him for the first time in his life. William expressed distrust in David because of his questionable decisions but a few minutes after that, when he realized that with David’s special drug he could erase Tide’s memory of getting disappointed in William, he decided to finally trust his brother which drastically changed William's character and status as a superhero/supervillain.

### Alan

He sees Alan only as an object of research and an unforgivable murderer, viewing the fact that he murdered half of Bell's guards during the heist as enough consent for being dissected alive in S2E31. In order to not let his employees die in vain, he tracked down Alan to use him for science. He sees Alan, Cantrip and Xavier all as villains. He took samples of Alan's body to help develop a cure for otherworldly deceases like the parasite planet from S1E15 and "advance medicine by a thousand years".

## Trivia

* According to William's comment, he’s *Tony’s Pizza* first customer which is why he has a golden figurine of Tony in his office as mentioned in S2E18.
* During the heist in the same episode, Cantrip uploaded a virus on David’s computer; she said that because of it «they're not gonna be doing much» and other then that it is unknown what the virus does and what is the repercussion for it.
* As established in the same episode, David regularly goes to poop in the bathroom at 4:30 PM
* Respolin, a drug developed by Bell Tech, is based on an actual drug known as Salbutamol or Albuterol which is used for asthma.
* As mentioned in a phone call between William and his mother in S2E30, David likes to call him a lazy boy which probably used to happen in the past.
* David possibly knows Wavelength has been kidnaped and kept in Prime Defenders HQ because in S2E31 he mentions «putting people in your secret prisons and your hero bases and kidnapping» which sounds a lot like the circumstances of Wavelength in S1E5.
