- “Krane and I used 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 to Leo Dooley
Douglas Davenport is the central antagonist turned supporting protagonist of Disney XD's Lab Rats and the spin-off, Lab Rats: Elite Force. He is the android Marcus' creator and secondary arch-enemy, Donald's younger brother, Tasha's brother-in-law, Adam, Bree, Chase, and Daniel's biological father/creator, Leo's step-uncle, and Naomi's uncle. Douglas initially plots to get revenge on his brother for taking Adam, Bree, and Chase away. However, he becomes an ally in Season 3B.
Role
Douglas is the overarching antagonist of Season 1, the main antagonist of Season 2, an anti-villain in the first half of Season 3, and a major protagonist for the rest of the series. He later appears as a recurring character in the spin-off Lab Rats: Elite Force.
Douglas initially had a hatred for Donald and tried to get revenge on him for taking Adam, Bree, and Chase from him. However, halfway through Season 3, Douglas redeems himself when his ex-business partner, Victor Krane intends to destroy the original Lab Rats. Davenport warns his family about Krane; though none of them believe him, Douglas gets to Leo and warns him about Krane's intentions towards his children, whom Douglas saves. However, Donald still throws his brother out. Douglas is finally reformed when he fixes Bree's bionic chip, leading him to be accepted by and join the Davenport Family. He reconciles with Donald and gives Leo a bionic arm to replace his original one. He joined his family in stopping Krane during the Bionic War and later, tries everything he can to get back in Donald's good graces while going up against Giselle Vickers and reuniting with his long-lost son, Daniel.
Background
Douglas was born circa 1974 or 1975. As children, Donald and Douglas used to bully each other and push each other around; however, Douglas faced more abuse under Donald, feeling overshadowed and underappreciated by his brother, who even created a robot to beat Douglas up when the younger Davenport brother outgrew the older one. Because of the poor treatment and possibly lack of support from Donald and most likely his parents, Douglas was mocked by his brother, which turned him into a bitter, anti-social scheming genius. The identity of their parents remains a mystery.
In his twenties, during the late 1980s or early 1990s, Douglas attended college, and during this time, he was dating a robotics major Giselle Vickers. They built androids together and though he was in love with her, Giselle eventually broke up with him and supposedly switched careers. However, the break-up broke Douglas' heart, recalling it as the worst day of his life to Bree. At one point, Douglas later went to med school to study to be a doctor. However, he was dismissed for screaming too loudly when he saw the needle. It was something his brother would probably make fun of. Instead, Douglas went to cooking school in the 1990s.
In 1992, Douglas and his brother founded Davenport Industries, creating bionic abilities and technology designed for robots that attended missions that were too dangerous for humankind. However, Douglas found a way for bionics to be used by humans, despite the glitch. He went behind his brother's back, genetically engineered four humans, Adam, Bree, Chase, and Daniel, and gave them bionics. When Donald discovered his brother's plans to turn them into cyber soldiers, he revealed his brother to the authorities. Donald adopted the elder three children and hid them in a lab within his basement. Douglas managed to escape with Daniel, only an infant, and later put up for adoption. Faking his death, he led his brother and parents to believe he had died while on the run.
At some point, Douglas became partners with millionaire Victor Krane, who provided Douglas with money in exchange for Douglas to give him his research and bionically enhance him. Back when he was evil, Douglas found a stray dog, Otis, and put bionics in him to heal the dog. Meanwhile, Krane did the same thing to Douglas as he had done to Donald years prior by going behind his partner's back and creating at least one hundred bionic soldiers and infusing them with Douglas' bionic research. However, he never thought anything about it. To retrieve the Lab Rats, Douglas created the Android Marcus and gave him their abilities. Finally, Douglas could get revenge on his brother once and for all but discovered that he and Marcus had come into conflict with Donald's step-son, Leo Dooley, and later, the entire Davenport family.
Personality
At the beginning of the series, Douglas' evilness was built on the fact that he used to be bullied by his brother, Donald, and felt overshadowed by all of Donald's successes. Because of their poor relationship, Douglas became anti-social and distant, driven by his hatred and jealousy of his older brother. The poor treatment Douglas got is what led him to go behind Donald's back and create four bionic human children, Adam, Bree, Chase, and Daniel. Douglas came to hate his brother after Donald learned what his younger brother intended to do with the children and kicking him out of Davenport Industries and taking Adam, Bree, and Chase away from Douglas caused him to find ways to get revenge on Donald. Despite their differences, Donald and Douglas were more alike than they realized: intelligent, but proud, egotistical, and arrogant, making their arguments ironic. Despite this, the two brothers could never learn to get along and Douglas would stop at nothing until he ruined his brother for taking his kids away from him. Douglas was once selfish and uncaring, such as using children as weapons, starting wars, robbing old women, and taking over a country no matter what the cost. Though he had a father/son relationship with Marcus, he didn't seem to care that Marcus would burn out before he was sixteen. He also had no qualms about turning Adam, Bree, and Chase into bionic superhumans of mass destruction, selling them to the highest bidder, whether they be dictators or madmen. He had no qualms with harming Leo when they were enemies, despite him only being fifteen years old, considering him a "nosy kid" who constantly gets in his way. Douglas later left Marcus for dead so he could ensure his survival. Despite his negative traits when he was evil, there was still a lighter side to him, as there were times when his sense of humor would overshadow the seriousness in a room. Apart from being evil, Douglas showed concern for his bionic children. He gave Daniel up for adoption and saved Chase from an avalanche. Douglas later protected the Lab Rats from Victor Krane, saving their lives once. However, he obsessively loved his children, up to the point where he tracked their GPS chips.
Douglas could become immature, especially when it came to arguing with Donald. When they were reunited after fifteen years, Douglas and Donald first insulted each other by calling themselves by their embarrassing nicknames and they continued mocking each other. He stole money from Donald and only blew up his brother's lab to get back at him for taking Adam, Bree, and Chase from him. Later, when Douglas was with both Leo and Chase, they called Douglas out on his rivalry with their father. In the latter's case, Douglas pointed out he just wanted to get back at Donald, Chase wondered when both were just going to grow up, and Douglas shouted in anger that he would "grow up when [Donald] grows up." Meanwhile in Leo's presence, after Douglas gloated Donald could not fix something he made (Bree's chip) and that [he won] again, Leo told him it was about Bree, and not about Douglas beating his brother. Apart from getting back at his brother through all these years, Douglas had to bury the hatchet for them to work together to fix Bree's chip. Eventually, the two moved past their petty grudge after Donald decided to give his brother a second chance. He was driven to do this is stemmed out of his rivalry with his brother, and, it comes from the fact that both Douglas and Donald were arrogant and childish. However, Leo spoke through to Chase, much to Douglas's frustration, and he later told Adam to attack Chase, but not enough to damage him. After Chase overrode the Triton App from Adam and Bree and Krane made it clear that he wanted them destroyed once Douglas fixed the App, it was made clear that Douglas didn't want to hurt them and allowed Douglas to reminisce on his past actions.
Between his appearances, Douglas tried reconciling with his brother, kids, and nephew, first by sending them friend requests, but they refused every time. Only Adam accepted it, as it appeared Douglas’s eldest son had begun to forgive him. When Douglas contacted them again, he was genuinely there to warn the family that Krane was a danger to them all. However, because Douglas tried killing Donald and his youngest son (Leo) and kidnapping Adam, Bree, and Chase constantly, the family refused to trust him and didn't heed Douglas' warning. By this point, Douglas was afraid of Krane and turned to Leo because he was the first to figure out what Douglas and Marcus were up to. Unlike their earlier encounter, Douglas spoke to Leo in a friendly manner, convincing his step-nephew that Krane was a serious threat. Subsequently, he saved Adam, Bree, and Chase when Krane was about to kill them and in return, Chase saved his biological father by throwing up his Force field to deflect Krane's attack on Douglas. The man would have succeeded in killing Krane had his brother returned shortly after rescuing his wife and son. Donald tossed Douglas out of the house and the younger Davenport left in defeat. Afterward, Douglas went into hiding and kept his distance from the Davenports until Leo approached him for help to fix Bree's bionic chip after she destroyed it. At first, Douglas selfishly thought that he upped his brother yet again and told Leo he could not "wait to shove his face in this one." However, Douglas relented when he saw Bree was in trouble.
After Donald found Leo with Douglas, surprisingly, it was Douglas who came to Leo's defense when Donald yelled at his son for disobeying him, telling his brother to “lay off the kid” because Leo was just trying to help Bree. The brothers began to pointlessly argue until they realized Bree's haywire abilities could potentially kill her and the two brothers solved the problem together. At first reluctant, Donald told Douglas he may have been a little harsh with his brother and offered him to stay at their house for a while if Douglas apologized for hurting their family. At first, Douglas thought Donald was more than a little harsh, but with the threat of only sleeping in a bush, Douglas agreed and felt it was clear his brother needed him. However, it appeared that Douglas thought he needed Donald and his family. He apologizes for what he did, showing that Douglas feels some form of remorse for his actions in the past. However, the brothers get right back to fighting, albeit, in a friendly way, Douglas and Donald will once in a while squabble. Douglas also shows remorse in "You Posted What!?!" where he says it is not fair that Donald is taking the heat for putting bionics in humans. In Season 4, Douglas became a father to his youngest son, Daniel. Donald noted that Douglas' newfound kinship with his son would make Douglas a proud father. In response, Douglas jokingly told Donald he would make a good one too one day. Of course, mockingly Douglas was indirectly referring to Donald's parenting skills when dealing with Adam, Bree, Chase, or Leo.
Since then, Douglas has become more light-hearted and caring to his family. He empathized with Chase when he was bullied by Adam and gave him a new bionic ability, Laser Bo to best Adam, whom he later gave a Pressurized Lung Capacity. Douglas and Chase bonded and have defended each other from Donald at least twice. He also became close friends with Leo despite their bad blood. Douglas enhanced the teenager's injured arm with bionics after being wounded by Taylor (S-1). Douglas also installed a deactivation in Leo's bionics during the day so he would not get into any trouble and later, promised to train him with his Bionics. However, they sometimes bicker like brothers do, insinuating they have a love/hate relationship like Leo does with Chase. Later, Douglas melted Marcus when he was going to fight Leo yet again and probably knew it was a fight Leo would not have. He also retains his humor but most of Douglas' goofy personality became light-hearted above others, as he and his brother playfully argue with each other. Douglas no longer has his evil tendencies and helps anyone else, showing he has indeed changed. However, his recklessness and sometimes, arrogance, render him an anti-hero. In "You Posted What?!?" Douglas suggested to Leo that he could blow up the Lab again so they could escape from government agents until Leo came up with a better solution. This is also notable in "Mission Mania", where Douglas made inventions that caused the students harm, such as a bazooka loaded with pencils that could potentially harm someone or a lie detector chair that would spin violently if the subject was lying. Despite this, Douglas remained an anti-hero for the rest of the series. He was reluctant to connect with Daniel due to past incidents with his kids but the two formed a strong father-and-son relationship. He also cares about the well-being of the students who live at the Bionic Academy as he demands that Giselle show where she was holding the kids hostage and threatened to kill her. When he learned Marcus was alive again, Douglas begged him to stop torturing Daniel and tried offering him a chance in the family. However, Marcus refuses and when he tries to kill Leo again, Douglas sees his android son is beyond reason and ends him by melting him.
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's 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 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 take control of the target, causing 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 breaks the latter out of the Triton App's control (with guidance from Donald); however, Chase still faints 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, she hoped that if she was going to explode, she would take out Chase and Douglas.

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 of his siblings' abilities. Chase takes his step-uncle 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 into the room when Chase double-crossed Douglas because he would never betray his family. The madman attempts to kill them but Chase is faster. He takes Donald's Cyroblaster and uses it on Douglas, trapping him in a cube of ice. Donald transfers his brother into one of his safe houses and the Arctic.
However, Douglas manages to escape with the help of his associate Victor Krane. He hacks 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 this and shows himself to Donald and Leo after the boy figures out it was Douglas who did this to him. However, Douglas is fed up that Leo figured it out before anyone else could and blows up the lab, with his brother and nephew inside. However, they escape through the elevator. 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 cyber mask and traps them in hoops that deactivate their abilities. Once again, Douglas captured Adam, Bree, and Chase reinstalled the Triton App on them and activated it after they escaped. 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.
Several months later, Douglas hacks into his brother's lab again to warn the team that Krane has become unstable and sees all three kids as a threat. However, Donald refuses to listen and cuts his brother's video chat off before Douglas can explain. Knowing Leo will believe him since the incident with Marcus, the man goes to the teenager's school. Douglas tries telling Leo about Krane becoming mentally unstable and his intentions to destroy Adam, Bree, and Chase. To prove that Krane is a threat to his children, Douglas shows the teen video footage. With Leo convinced, Douglas tells him to tell Donald what he told him before leaving. Krane knows where Douglas went, terminating his partnership with him before telekinetically choking him. He passes out and soon, regains consciousness, before storming into his brother's lab with a blaster from his brother's weapons and saves his children. Krane retaliates and attempts to kill him again again with his bionic fire abilities. However, Chase races to his father's side, using his Force Field to protect himself and Douglas. The fire ricochets and knocks Krane to the ground. Douglas tries to kill his former partner but is distracted by Donald and a rescued Tasha and Leo, allowing Krane to geo-leap away. Enraged at Douglas, Donald threatens his brother with his thermal blaster, forcing him to leave. Despite Chase and Douglas' attempts to reason with Donald, he remains unconvinced. Douglas decides to take his leave as his family watches him leave. (Taken)
Donald and Douglas reconcile.
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 stepfather and finds Douglas disguised as a female vendor 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 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 supposedly kills Leo under the rubble. However, Leo survived the attack, with his arm being severely crushed under a ceiling beam.
Douglas tells Leo he's now bionic.
Douglas and Perry recover and attempt to get the beam off Leo, who had his arm damaged but Douglas is unable to lift it off of Leo because of his injuries and goes to the firemen to help Leo and take them to the hospital. Douglas later takes Leo to Krane's warehouse and gives him Bionics for his arm because it wouldn't heal properly without them. After Leo regains consciousness, Douglas tells him that he has a bionic arm after having him generate a laser sphere. He enhanced it with laser sphere generation and super strength. After he fully recovers, Douglas and Leo go to leave but are confronted by Krane, who is surprised to see Leo is now bionic. Before Krane and Taylor could finish the two Davenports off, Adam, Bree, Chase, and Donald found them and the three teenagers fought the two bionic soldiers off. In the aftermath of Krane and Taylor's defeat, both Donald and Tasha find out that Douglas gave their son Bionic.
Subsequently, in "Armed and Dangerous," Douglas urges Leo to keep his arm a secret and agrees to train Leo with it.

Acts
Evil Acts
The following lists all of Douglas' goals and actions driven by selfish or evil motivations.
- Douglas created Adam, Bree, Chase, and Daniel and their chips that gave them their bionic abilities. According to Donald, Douglas was going to use kids for evil purposes. This is, in fact, true because he was going to use them to commit crimes and sell them to the highest bidder.
- Performs unethical experiments on his children and Krane.
- Creates the Triton App to control any bionic human or android.
- Sent Marcus into Davenport's lab and had him install hidden cameras within the lab to spy on his family and conspire to capture Adam, Bree, and Chase.
- He and Marcus trapped Leo in a self-driving car created by his brother which nearly sent Leo plummeting into the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. However, Leo is saved by his siblings at the last minute. It can be assumed that Douglas ordered Marcus to threaten Leo afterward.
- Constantly verbally abuses Marcus from time to time. He shouts at him when he fails to keep Leo away
- Hacks into Eddy's network to get his brother alone.
- He and Marcus kidnap Donald and successfully lure the Lab Rats into a trap.
- Sends Marcus out to take out Leo, despite Leo being his nephew and fifteen years old. This fails and Leo ends up surviving.
- Tries to reinstall the Triton App on his children, but fails when Donald and the Rats escape and begin fighting Marcus and Douglas
- Gives his brother several injuries as they violently fight each other.
- Abandons Marcus as his lair collapses without a second thought, leaving him there to die.
- After the fight between him and the Bionic Team, Douglas hacked into Adam, Bree, and Chase's GPS tracking on their chips, thus stalking them. This was how he was able to rescue Chase from the avalanche.
- According to Avalanche! Douglas was going to rob elderly women, build some bombs, or invade small countries but not in that order.
- Attempted to manipulate Chase into turning against his family. He was tempting him with new abilities and insinuating they were fairly similar.
- After breaking into Donald's lab. After the family refuses to make amends, Douglas pulls out a pistol, intending to hurt his brother, children (Adam, Bree, and Chase) and nephew (Leo. However, Chase freezes Douglas with Donald's Cryoblaster
- hacks into Donald's banking accounts, and steals all his prophets. He uses at least 2000 dollars to buy hair dye, color eye contacts, and a speed boat and into Davenport Industries after Douglas escaped.
- Mocked both Donald and Leo and attempted to blow the lab up with his family in it. However, they survive the attempt.
- Abducts Chase, Adam, and Bree and reinstalls the Triton on them. He controls them and has them try to attack their parents and brother. However, Leo breaks Chase from Douglas' control and Chase frees Adam and Bree by using the Override App on them.
- Gave Victor Krane bionics to further his revenge on his brother.
Selfish
Afterwards, Douglas reforms but the following acts are selfish rather than being outright evil.
- Leo comes to Douglas for help when Bree smashes her chip and mentions that Donald cannot fix the chip. Douglas thinks he won again and cannot wait to shove his brother's face in this one.
- When Chase tries defending Douglas to Donald, he mentions that Douglas has not gotten one felon in weeks, but Douglas reveals he has not committed a felon in days.
- Creates a pencil bazooka that could hurt someone, a plague in a bottle, and even straps Bob into a chair that violently spins him around.
- However, Douglas was trying his hardest to get back into his brother's good side, also showing he is trying these attempts to reconcile with Donald.
- Reanimated a dead spider that was poisonous. While Douglas wanted to bond with Chase over it, he did it primarily out of recognition and said his name would be plastered everywhere for making this discovery and just says Chase will appear on someone's blog, showing Douglas (like Donald) won't share the spotlight with Chase despite both of them making the discovery (like when Donald does with Chase in Lab Rats vs. Mighty Med). it poisons Adam, who nearly dies. Douglas also gave it growth hormones behind Chase's back and caused it to grow exponentially.
- Douglas mentions that they don't use safety precautions and that it was a rather dangerous experiment. He also continuously blames either Chase, Bree, or Leo despite never acknowledging that he, in part, shares the blame with them as well. This is because Douglas and Chase reanimated the spider, we'll let the spider out and it was in the pool that pushed Adam in, thus affecting it with its poison
Heroic Acts
List of Douglas acts as a good hero when he turns away from a life of crime.
- Despite being evil, Douglas gave Daniel up for adoption because he wanted him to have a normal life.
- Even during his life of crime, he never tries to find Daniel and turn him into a bionic soldier like Adam, Bree, and Chase.
- Douglas never told Daniel he was bionic when he met him again because he did not want to ruin his son's life and was afraid of how his son would react.
- Saved the life of Otis, a stray dog Douglas had saved.
- After Krane implanted himself with bionics, Douglas realized that his partner was becoming more and more insane. He tried warning Donald, Leo, Adam, Bree, and Chase, but they ignored his warnings.
- Goes to Leo for help when he sees his brother won't listen to him to save Adam, Bree, and Chase. Leo listens and Douglas tells him to talk to his brother so they can protect the Lab Rats.
- Rescued Adam, Bree, and Chase from Victor Krane by blasting him with one of Donald's blasters and protecting them. This is what caused Chase to protect Douglas from a fireball generated by Krane.
- After Leo comes to his uncle for help to fix Bree's chip, Douglas reluctantly agrees but decides to fix it for his daughter's sake.
- Reconciles with Donald after showing remorse for the wrongdoings to their family. Donald forgives Douglas but the two begin bickering afterwards.
- Douglas does several heroic acts in You Posted What
- Goes to great lengths to prove that Adam, Bree, and Chase are not as dangerous as Graham thinks they are.
- Shows concern for Leo when a ceiling beams off of him after Taylor throws it on top of him and goes to get the firemen when he can't lift it off him. Douglas saves his life because Leo could have died from blood loss.
- This one, however, is rather questionable at first because Leo goes missing when Tasha arrives at the hospital and she is worried Krane kidnapped him. However, it turns out Douglas was the one who took Leo, but only because he wanted to give his nephew bionics after learning Leo would never be able to use his arm again.
- Threatens to blast Giselle if she does not tell them where the Bionic children are.
- Melts Marcus because he is about to kill Leo.

- He also gave a going-away speech for at least one of these occasions. ("Armed and Dangerous")
- One of Douglas's previous crimes involved scaling a wall, meaning it was a heist or burglary. ("The Vanishing")
- "Sink or Swim" was the last episode that Douglas was evil. His redemption arc began when he warned Leo about Krane and was solidified in "Which Father Knows Best" after he helped fix Bree's chip and Donald and the family forgave him.
- Douglas and Donald are responsible for most (if not all) plot lines and problems in the series. However, the true cause of most of the problems was because of Donald. This is because of the mistreatment of his brother. The mistreatment Douglas went through based on Donald bullying him may have caused him to commit several crimes. These events led to problems in the story.
- Because of Donald's poor treatment which led him to commit crimes, Douglas created three children, Adam, Bree, and Chase, and found a way for humans to use bionics. He wanted to use the children for beings of mass destruction and sell them to the highest bidder.
- Donald rats Douglas out, which causes him to lose the kids (all except his youngest son Daniel.) Because of Donald's action in turning his own brother over, Daniel was put up for adoption and Douglas was eventually founded by Victor Krane.
- It led Douglas to make a deal with Krane: Give him bionics to gain revenge on his own brother. Of course, this was a major problem in Season 3. Giving Krane bionics, made him a recurring conflict for the Lab Rats. Krane revealed the existence of bionic humans, Adam, Bree, and Chase. With Douglas' new bionic research and technology, Krane found a way to perfect the Triton App and took over the world twice, but was stopped by the Lab Rats. Krane's actions led to the creation of the Bionic Soldiers, which Douglas was indirectly responsible for. With his Triton app, he controlled s1 and had her harm Leo, but only managed to wound him enough for Douglas to give Leo bionics
- The loss of Adam, Bree, and Chase caused Douglas to create Marcus to get them back. Because of this, Marcus bullied Leo but manipulated the Lab Rats the entire time. Of course, Douglas left Marcus for dead. When his son was rebuilt by Giselle, Marcus listed Douglas leaving him for dead as the reason why Marcus wanted revenge on Douglas and Leo. However, Douglas fixes this by secretly telling Daniel on how to defeat Marcus. Of course, the android regenerates but Douglas kills him one last time as he begins to fight Leo. If Douglas never bragged to Giselle about Marcus, then she would have never found him and recreated Marcus.
- Douglas may be directly responsible for Giselle turning evil because he met Krane and gave him bionics. To get revenge on the Lab Rats, Krane exposed their bionics to the world, which directed everyone away from Giselle's androids. The consequences were a result of Giselle turning evil and motivating in her plans to destroy the Lab Rats and all the Bionic Humans.
- He never gave Leo a capsule which caused it to go haywire in Under Siege. However, Douglas was able to make Leo an arm capsule to recalibrate it.
