Douglas Davenport

“*Krane and I use to be on the same page. Get my kids back, use them to rob banks, pull scams, you know garden variety bad guy stuff. But I was never gonna hurt them!*”
―Douglas Davenport to Leo Dooley

“*Congratulations, Leo. You're bionic.*”
―Douglas informing his nephew he is bionic

**Douglas Davenport** is the younger brother of Donald Davenport, Leo's step-uncle, and tritagonist/anti-hero of Disney XD's *Lab Rats*. In the midseason 2 finale, Douglas is revealed as the Lab Rats', Adam, Bree and Chase, biological father. Season 4 reveals he had another bionic son, Daniel, whom he gave up for adoption. He is the hidden main antagonist of Season 1, the main antagonist of Season 2 and half of Season 3, alongside Victor Krane. Additionally, Douglas is the brother-in-law of Tasha Davenport and the uncle of Naomi Davenport. He sends his android son, Marcus to spy on his family and capture Adam, Bree and Chase and tries everything to get Leo and Donald out of his way.

Halfway through Season 3, Douglas begins to reform when Krane makes it clear he wants to destroy his children. First, he warns Leo of Krane's plans and later saves his children when Krane attacks him. Douglas finally reformed when he fixes Bree's bionic chip, leading him to being accepted by and joining the Davenport Family by moving into the Davenport Household), realizing family is more important than vengeance. Douglas also gave Leo a bionic arm after his original was crushed by Taylor under the Triton App.

## Canon

### Lab Rats

#### Season 1

Douglas is alluded when Donald tells his mother-in-law Rose that Adam, Bree, and Chase are his brother's children that he adopted after Douglas supposedly died. luckily for them she buys it and accept them as as her new grandchildren.

Though his face is not physical seen, Marcus shows Douglas he planted cameras in the lab, as they now have eyes on the kids and the rest of the Davenport family.

#### Season 2

After Marcus fails to keep Leo away, Douglas decided enough and saw he would have to take matters into his own hands.

He and Marcus later kidnap Donald and hold him hostage to lure the Lab Rats to Douglas' lair, where he reveals to Adam, Bree and Chase he is their real father before trapping them in a cage that prohibits them from accessing their bionic abilities. However, Leo (in Donald's Exoskeleton.) comes to save them. Marcus attempts to kill Leo but Adam unlocks a new ability to protect his younger brother and in the chaos, Douglas escapes.

Douglas returns in "Avalanche!", where he rescues Chase from an avalanche and it's revealed he has been tracking his children through their GPS tracking on their chips. Douglas apparently sways Chase to his side and promises to give his son all three abilities. Chase takes Douglas to his father's lab to make a new chip when Donald, Adam and Bree discover Douglas is there and reveals Chase joined him. At that moment, Leo comes in the room when Chase double-crossed Douglas because he would never betray his family. Douglas attempts to kill them but Chase is faster and traps Douglas in an ice cubeand Donald has Douglas transferred into one of his safe houses and the Arctic.

However Douglas manages to escape with the help of his associate Victor Krane. He hacked into his brother's banking account and takes his money and his profits. Chase Bree and Adam leave the family for Leo, Donald and Tasha's safety. Douglas becomes aware of it and blows up his brother's lab, but Leo and Donald escape through the elevator.

#### Season 3

In"Sink or Swim," Douglas disguises himself as Donald and pretends to rescue the kids from getting arrested off the barge until Douglas reveals himself and catches the three kids by surprise by deactivating his cyberbask and traps them in hoops that deactivate their abilities. Once again, Douglas captured Adam, Bree and Chase and reinstalled the Triton App on them and activates it after they escape. He gets the kids to attack their parents and their brother, however, Leo talks Chase out of it. After Chase defeats Adam and Bree, Douglas promises to fix the Triton App, and Krane tells him after he does that to destroy Adam, Bree, and Chase, though this does not sit well for him and lets Douglas rethink his position.

Over the next weeks, Douglas realized that Krane has lost his mind. He attempts to reconcile with his family by sending Adam, Bree, Chase, Donald, and Leo friend requests, however everyone but Adam declines it. Once again, Douglas hacks into his brother's lab again to warn the team that Krane has become unstable and sees all the three kids as a threat. However, Donald refuses to listen and cuts his brother's video chat off before Douglas can think of a reason why they should trust him after he has previously threatened their family. Knowing Leo will believe him, Douglas goes to his school and pleads with the boy to believe him about Krane because Leo was smart enough to know about Douglas and Marcus before anyone else. The man reveals that he and Krane are no longer on the same page because his former partner is looking to destroy Adam, Bree, and Chase. To prove that Krane is a threat, Douglas shows Leo footage of the villain implanting himself with more bionics and using his new powers. Leo agrees that Krane is no laughing matter and asks Douglas what he should do, and the man encourages his nephew to tell Donald because his brother will believe Leo. Krane knows what Douglas was up to by warning Leo and cuts off his partnership with Douglas before knocking him out. However, Douglas survives and saves his children from Krane as he is about to kill them. He tries to kill the villain, but Donald, Tasha and Leo appear and Donald scares his brother off with his own blaster, threatening to end Douglas if he comes near their family again. (Taken)

Later, Bree destroys her chip and Donald is unable to fix it because the only person who can is Douglas. Leo suggests going to Douglas, and Chase agrees with his brother, but Donald refuses and forbids anyone from contacting Douglas.  However, Leo disobeys his step-father and finds Douglas disguised as a female vender in the park and tells Douglas that Bree destroyed her chip and that they need his help to fix it. However, Douglas' rivalry with his brother and his ego nearly prevents him from doing so until Leo tells Douglas that he has to do it for Bree and because she is his daughter, Douglas decides to help them. He apparently fixes Bree's chip but she goes out of control. Both Douglas and Donald work together to free her from glitching and succeed in fixing Bree's chip. Douglas is happy to reconcile with Donald but his brother still kicks him out. However, Donald is convinced by his children to give Douglas a second chance, if he apologizes. Douglas does and is invited to live in their house for a while. (Three Minus Bree, Which Father Knows Best)

A few weeks later, the kids' bionics are exposed, which Douglas, Donald and Tasha learned on their own. Leo tries offering a way they can spin it but Douglas reveals it is too late and shows the family that the viral video was confirmed legitimate (and recorded by S-1) and that everyone all over the world is freaking out.  The family is forced to go into hiding, and Douglas apologizes for causing the problem to Donald by putting bionics in humans, but his brother responds he is holding a press conference to blame everything on Douglas, much to the younger Davenport's frustration. Douglas later goes to the lab to help Leo and Chase pack up the basement, where Chase reveals he did do a full scan of the mission area. However, at that moment, FBI agents capture the Davenports as Douglas escapes with Leo in one of the lab's trap doors and they seek refuge at Mission Creek High School.  Principal Perry helps them by running the picture of the girl through the school's database while flirting with Douglas. Leo begins suspecting that the mission was a setup when there was no seismic activity or no trace of the girl. They go to the mission sight and investigate, where Leo and Douglas conclude that Krane set this whole thing up. The group is confronted by Krane and S-1, who knock Douglas and Perry to the ground while S-1 apparently kills Leo, but only manages to crush his arm with a ceiling beam.

Douglas and Perry recovered and attempts to get the beam off Leo, who had his arm damaged but Douglas is unable to lift it off of Leo because of Douglas' broken ribs. He goes to the firemen who come and help Leo up and take them to the hospital. However, Douglas learns from the doctor that Leo will never be able to use his arm again and refusing to let his nephew live without use of it the rest of his life, takes Leo from the hospital when he is unattended and to his and Krane's old warehouse and uses bionic components to save Leo's arm, while installing defenses and Energy Laser Blasts. Leo wakes up to see his arm is healed and wonders why before Douglas has Leo test it out. He unexpectedly generates a laser blast and asks Douglas what he did. Douglas tells Leo he is now bionic in the arm, much to the boy's shock.

## 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, he did a rather impressive Krane impersonation. However, Taylor was horrified by the performance, expressing hope to Leo that she wanted to take out Chase and Douglas if she was going to explode.
