He is portrayed by Hal Sparks. He also founded the Bionic Team, Davenport Bionic Academy and Davenport Industries.

## History

Donald Davenport was approximately born in 1970/1971 with a younger brother, named Douglas.The two brothers often bullied each other on a daily basis, enough for Donald to create a robot to beat his brother up when Douglas outgrew him. He used to be an avid fan of superheroes, having multiple action figures.However, he never had the time to have a social life.

Donald was one of the brightest minds of the human race and eventually founded Davenport Industries with Douglas in 1992. The brothers led a successful business. At one point, Donald would create the security home system, Eddy.

They went on to develop bionics that would be put in androids, which would perform acts deemed to dangerous for humans. However, Douglas found a way for the bionics to work in the human nervous system and created four bionic children behind Donald's back: Adam, Bree, Chase and Daniel. After learning his brother's evil plans, Donald turned his brother over to the FBI. However, Douglas got away with Daniel, who was just a baby at the time while Donald rescued Adam, Bree, and Chase. He took them to his house, where he built a lab for them to adapt and control their bionics.

Donald entered an online dating service, where he met Tasha Dooley and grew acquainted with her son, Leo. After a while, Tasha and Donald married each other and gained Leo as a stepson.

## Personality

Donald Davenport is egotistical, childish, fatherly, and eccentric. He often described as being incredibly smart, perfect and better than everyone else. Though Donald is intelligent, his brother is implied to be smarter than him, as does others such as Victor Krane. Like his brother and his second-youngest son, Chase, they appear to have a lot of things in common, because they are all fairly arrogant, believing their better than everyone. However, he has a very fatherly, caring and loving relationship with his children, and does anything to protect them. He considers Leo as if he were his biological son and the original Lab Rats as his own children. This was exemplified in "Taken" when Donald personally went to rescue his wife, Tasha, and son, Leo from Krane. Despite being a family man, he is sometimes unfair towards them and grounds them for a large amount of time. He also threatened to kill Douglas when he first came into the lab while saving Adam, Bree and Chase from Krane and also angrily yelled at his brother for giving bionics to Leo.

Apart from his arrogance, Donald is a caring man who loves his family and does whatever he can to save the world.
