When growing too nervous or angry, he glitches to produce Spike, a second personality who is rude and destructive. Spike has super strength, is almost as strong as Adam, and is skilled in hand-to-hand combat. A second glitch causes him to produce a sonic sneeze when his nose is irritated too much.

In Rise of the Secret Soldiers, the bionic soldiers freed Krane and S-1 from their prison, and they planned to control the world using the Triton application. While most of them were defeated by the Lab Rats, the remaining 30 bionic soldiers were deactivated when the Triton application was disabled and were claimed by Donald.
