James Dooley

**James Dooley,** currently known as "Lenny Krane" after the erasure of his memories is a former bionic human and the uncle of Leo Dooley. James worked as a lumberjack, a fact that annoyed his brother, Jordan, Tasha, and Leo when he lived with them. Donald would later set up a secret lab in his old house, though he was unaware of this.

His first appearance is in "Life Sentence," where he collects Axel’s remains and asks him if he'd like an Uncle. He is not truly named until the episode "Birthday Time" (In "A Wild Hunt" he is simply called Uncle J.) It is shown that he is possibly a skilled scientist in  A Wild Hunt," as he created a hideous monster.

He is also a major antagonist in the series finale, "We Saved The World Today." After experiences with Leo in the Dream Realm, he makes amends with him before being memory-wiped and having his bionics removed by Tasha.

## **History**

In his debut in "Life Sentence," James makes his first appearance in the present, as well as his first speaking role. He wears a cape with a large "J" logo on it. After Oliver accidentally cremates Axel alive with his prosthetic arm while trying to get Mr. Terror to leave Skylar alone after she injured Sander, James is seen putting Axel’s ashes in a bucket, and he asks the ash if he needed an Uncle. He is not named in this episode, but his first line hints at his true identity.

In "A Wild Hunt," he is not seen until the end of the episode, where it is revealed that he created the Grumbo (a monster who was the main antagonist of the episode).

His brother Jordan was a genius much like Donald and gave him bionics, resulting in him moving Tasha and Leo in with James to keep an eye on him. They lived peacefully, but James’ experiments became strange, especially when he wanted to cut down all the trees in the apple orchard to make a separate lab for himself and make every single person bionic. Leo, however, did not like that idea so he used many tactics such as making sure James never saw any of his friends. After erasing Leo’s memories of James being bionic, Tasha and Jordan got a divorce. In truth, they were working on a device to make Leo docile and  simple-minded forever, but didn’t want a marriage to interfere. James used special desserts to erase Jordan and Tasha’s memories of him, like he had never existed at all. It would be the discovery he had a brother that would drive Jordan to host the spirit of the Wishmaster. Eventually, young Leo came and accidentally erased James’ memories of himself, wondering if he was evil. Not remembering anything, Leo questioned Tasha about her favorite mug. Tasha, who had had her memories restored, revealed the truth and that she had contacted James multiple times since after he went to an asylum.

It is revealed the insane James got all his memories back when Sebastian’s anti-elements reverted everything into its "true shape." James, with a brainwashed Tasha and Wishmaster Jordan, disguised as a horse for warriors revealed to be Axel and Guyzi. James stops the dorenboshes from killing Fletcher and Oliver and reveals himself to Leo who was shocked to see him. He revealed how their memories were restored with a brainwashing twist, but Donald interfered. Intimidated, he decided to retreat along with the others though promised to be back.

In  “Dooleyville," he is shown to have achieved his goal of building a city of bionic soldiers called Dooleyville and is preparing for war against the Elite Force, joking about Leo’s impending demise. However, he was surprised Fletcher and Oliver saved him even though it would save them the trouble of war. James then acted cordially to them and called off the attack, he even protected Jordan from being spilled on. However, his actions were proven to be a part of the plot as it was revealed he and Jordan conspired to make Leo a mindless slave. When this failed, he resurrected several old Elite Force enemies to help in his attack.

In the series finale, he and Leo are preparing for war against each other. Oliver, not liking the idea, got the two of them to talk before the war began. Fletcher then unleashed nightmare juice, placing him, James, Leo, Tasha, Jordan, Gus, Guyzi, Kakai, Axel, Crossbow, Bree, Fletcher, Oliver, and Kaz into a nightmare together.

Inside the dream realm, Leo and James have a long and climatic battle, as James realizes how hard it was for a little boy like Leo and that being evil maybe isn’t such a good thing.

After they all wake up from their dream, Leo apologizes to James for him not yet knowing how great bionic people are. James fake-accepts his apology and agrees to end the conflict, intending to betray him, but is tripped by Tasha and returns amnesiac to a new insane asylum, under his brother’s watchful eye.

## Personality

Before losing his memory, he was a very smart man, though he was quite rebellious and hated his brother Jordan’s bossy ways. He liked Leo a lot, but bionics started corrupting him to see Leo as a spoiled brat. If his memory had not been wiped, Tasha knew he was going to be unstoppable with his bionic army plans.

After turning back, he has made plans to exact revenge on Leo as well as those he has befriended as he created a new body for Axel and had him attack Fletcher and Oliver. Despite his clear romantic feelings for Tasha, he finds Donald intimidating.

James is very self-centered and narcissistic, but can be protective of Tasha.
