| 7 | !Main Characters |
| 8 | !!Introduced in ''Lab Rats'' |
| 9 | [[folder:Chase Davenport]] |
| 10 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Chase_Davenport_-_Season_2_8219.jpg]] |
| 11 | ->'''Played by:''' Billy Unger (billed as William Brent in ''Elite Force'') |
| 12 | * AntiHero: He's noble and responsible, but it's hard to deny that he's also pretty whiny, childishly petty and arrogant. |
| 13 | * [[AcademicAlphaBitch Academic Alpha Bastard]]: He wants things done ''his'' way, not anyone else's. |
| 14 | -->'''Adam''': Don't be like Chase! |
| 15 | * ArbitrarySkepticism: Chase doesn't get the concept of superpowers despite being a bionic superhuman. This is understandable, because bionic abilities are derived from technology while superpowers are a phenomenon that defy reason. |
| 16 | * BadassArmfold: See the folder image. |
| 17 | * BadassBookworm: Like his siblings, Chase is trained in martial arts. |
| 18 | * BarrierWarrior: Chase can create forcefields around himself. As the show progresses, its design changes from a solid blue orb to a transparent half-circle. |
| 19 | * BeautyBrainsAndBrawn: The Brains to Adam's Brawn and Bree's Beauty. |
| 20 | * BerserkButton: |
| 21 | ** Don't say you're smarter than he is. Sebastian learned that the hard way. That goes for you too, Donald. |
| 22 | ** He also doesn't like it when [[MySisterIsOffLimits Bree flirts with another boy]], though this seems to be averted with Oliver. |
| 23 | --> '''Chase''': (to Sebastian after he flirts with Bree) Don't EVER say that again! |
| 24 | * BrainyBrunet: Has brown hair and the bionic power of SuperIntelligence. |
| 25 | * ButtMonkey: He's always picked on for his inability to get girls or for being short. By ''Elite Force'', he gets more respect, but at Oliver's expense. |
| 26 | * ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Inverted. Almost everyone who's ever wanted to be his friend has ended up having ulterior motives, which is a major factor in his inferiority complex. Marcus was working for Douglas, Sebastian was planning a rebellion and needed access to passwords and his chip schematics, [[spoiler: and Reese just needed to get to Mission Control to download the superhero list.]] These are basically all of the people he's ever been friends with who weren't on a mission team with him. |
| 27 | * CompetitionFreak: He'll jump into any contest that can prove his superiority, and isn't afraid to cheat to win. |
| 28 | * ControlFreak: Lampshaded by Bree in "Unauthorized Mission". The spinoff reveals why he's like this: being mission leader was always a part of him, and it was something that he didn't want to lose. After being rescued by Kaz, Oliver and Bree, and thinking about Skylar's performance in her first mission in a long time, [[spoiler:he abolishes the Mission Leader title]]. |
| 29 | * DeadpanSnarker: He and Leo are the master snarkers of the show. |
| 30 | * TheDogBitesBack: Chase finally makes a name for himself in "The Jet Wing" by shoving Adam to the floor [[KarmaHoudiniWarranty as long-awaited punishment]] for punching him one too many times, much to [[WhatTheHellHero everyone's shock and Adam's dismay]]. |
| 31 | * EnragedByIdiocy: Especially in Season 3 and 4, and in the spinoff. |
| 32 | * EtTuBrute: Chase was greatly hurt when Sebastian betrayed him. In ''One of Us'', he refused to trust S-1/Taylor on the grounds that she might do the same, showing just how badly Sebastian wounded him. |
| 33 | * {{Flanderization}}: He changes from a uptight ControlFreak [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold with a heart of gold]] to a short-tempered, egotistical and power-hungry perfectionist in the later episodes of Bionic Island. |
| 34 | * FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: The Responsible to Adam, Bree, and Leo's Foolish. |
| 35 | * ForScience: In "Spike vs. Spikette", he intentionally activated Kate's commando app (despite Douglas explicitly telling him not to), so he could see the app work from the outside. |
| 36 | * FourTemperamentEnsemble: Chase cycles through all of these at some point. He starts out as Sanguine, but as his confidence levels go way, way down, he becomes Melancholic. In late Bionic Island, he becomes a more stubborn, arrogant version of Choleric and stays this way for the beginning of ''Elite Force'', but after [[spoiler: he abolishes the Mission Leader title]] he gets much, much kinder and goes to Phlegmatic. |
| 37 | * TheFriendNobodyLikes: Due to his Type A personality and being an InsufferableGenius, people don't seem to like him. |
| 38 | -->'''Bree''': And you wonder why no one at school likes you. |
| 39 | * HairTriggerTemper: Do NOT piss this guy off. When his temper gets driven high, he will become Spike. |
| 40 | * TheHero: Seems to share the role with Leo. They're also the same age. |
| 41 | * HeroAntagonist: In "Zip It," he destroyed Bree's only chance of having a job as a normal teenager. |
| 42 | * InferioritySuperiorityComplex: Chase is highly arrogant and obnoxious, but he's also by far the most insecure of the Lab Rats, and it's been shown that although he brushes it off, Adam's constant teasing gets to him. |
| 43 | * InsufferableGenius: Never misses an opportunity to remind others that he's the "smartest man on Earth". |
| 44 | * [[BrattyTeenageDaughter Jerkass Teenage Son]]: Shows this often in the later episodes of Bionic Island. Bree is much worse than he is though, at least at the beginning. |
| 45 | * LargeHam: As the show progresses, he becomes the most dramatic of all the main characters due to his intensity and neurotic personality. |
| 46 | * LaserBlade: Obtains a "laser bo" in ''Brother Battle'', a laser staff generated from his hand. |
| 47 | * TheLeader: Chase has been designated mission leader since he was 12. In ''Series/LabRatsEliteForce'', Chase later sees how much his other team members were able to step up [[spoiler:and abolishes the position of Mission Leader altogether]]. |
| 48 | * LikeFatherLikeSon: He's similar to his adoptive father (really biological uncle) Donald, as both are snarky {{InsufferableGenius}}es. A straighter example is him and his actual father, Douglas. Both were picked on by their older brothers, and seek recognition in spite of feeling overshadowed. |
| 49 | * MindOverMatter: Called 'molecularkinesis', it's one of Chase's hidden bionic abilities. |
| 50 | * MrFanservice: Although he doesn't have a shirtless scene, his shirt is often unbuttoned a little lower than is necessary, especially in later seasons. |
| 51 | * MySisterIsOffLimits: Every time Sebastian hits on Bree, he always yells at him for it. If Bob does it, however, he finds it hilarious, most likely because he knows Bob stands no chance with Bree and just enjoys watching her get annoyed. |
| 52 | * NerdsAreSexy: Billy Unger has a ''lot'' of fangirls. In-universe however, girls almost never ask Chase out. One episode of ''Elite Force'' features him making a series of attempts at creating a [[RoboticSpouse robot girlfriend]] and all of them preferring Kaz. However, in "Spike Fright" Sabrina expresses interest in going out with him, and Caitlin had a crush on him. |
| 53 | * NeverMyFault: In keeping with his InsufferableGenius traits, Chase hardly ever admits to making mistakes, instead blaming others for not following his orders correctly. When he does make a mistake and actually owns up to it, it stays with him (as seen with Sebastian’s betrayal leading him to be distrusting of S-1.) |
| 54 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: When he tells Sebastian the truth about Krane being killed off in ''Unauthorized Mission'', it causes Sebastian to start a rebellion. Almost the entire season four premiere was itself a NiceJobBreakingItHero moment for Chase, to the point where Adam says "It was all Chase's fault". |
| 55 | * NotQuiteFlight: In "Bionic Showdown", Chase reveals that he has a second hidden bionic ability - the power to levitate himself. |
| 56 | * NoIndoorVoice: He has a tendency to yell a lot, especially when he states things matter-of-factly or overreacts. |
| 57 | * NoSocialSkills: More so than Adam and Bree. Chase just can't understand what other people would like. In "Smart and Smarter," his attempts to gain favor for the "Student of the Semester" award involved such things as a device that berated his classmates for their choice of lunch, or having a student put into detention for being just a little late on the grounds that the student would thank him for "putting him on the right path". |
| 58 | * OnlySaneMan: Between Adam and Leo joking around, Bree being the BrattyTeenageDaughter, and Donald being unmistakably crazy, Chase definitely shares this trope with Douglas (even though Douglas himself has destructive tendencies and doesn't always play by the rules). |
| 59 | * ParentalFavoritism: Bree states that he is Donald's favorite of the three. Given his potential to be the most powerful, it seems he is Douglas' favorite too. |
| 60 | * PersonalityBloodTypes: Type A. He is bossy, controlling and a workaholic. |
| 61 | * ProperlyParanoid: Chase has become more cautious in ''Elite Force'', so he falls victim to the IdiotBall much less. After Kaz introduces the Superhero Communications Network to him, Chase makes it a point not to visit any superheroes, because someone could be watching. [[spoiler:He's right--Skylar visits Crossbow and leads Roman right to her]]. |
| 62 | * RedOniBlueOni: The Red to Adam, Bree, and Kaz's Blue. |
| 63 | * RelationshipSabotage: |
| 64 | ** Before Sebastian turned evil, Chase tried to ruin his constant flirting with Bree. To be fair, [[MySisterIsOffLimits any brother would feel this way about his sister]]. |
| 65 | ** Oliver accuses Chase of doing this to him and Skylar. |
| 66 | * SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: The Savvy Guy to Bree's Energetic Girl. |
| 67 | * ShorterMeansSmarter: But don't emphasize the "short" part, it's a source of angst for him. |
| 68 | * SmugSnake: At times. |
| 69 | * SuperIntelligence: Doesn't mean he can account for every flaw when he solves a problem. However, he is shown to be even more intelligent than Horace Diaz. |
| 70 | * SuperpoweredEvilSide: Well, not exactly evil, but Spike is far more anti-heroic than Chase. |
| 71 | * TeenGenius: Subverted, his intelligence is literally stored in his chip. Without his chip, he only has somewhat above average intelligence, and only a rough idea of how to solve problems. |
| 72 | * TookALevelInJerkass: Not by much compared to Adam, but he became more egotistical and cocky in later seasons. This was changed in ''Elite Force'', where he TookALevelInKindness in comparison to Bionic Island. |
| 73 | * TheBGrade: Freaked out when he got an A- in "Smart and Smarter." |
| 74 | * YoungestChildWins: It turns out when Douglas created the Lab Rats, Chase's bionic chip was a later version of Adam's and Bree's, which means he theoretically has more room for upgrades. It's later subverted because we find out he is ''not'' the youngest. |
| 75 | |
| 76 | !!Spike |
| 77 | ->'''Played by:''' Billy Unger |
| 78 | * ArtificialHuman: Created as the counterpart of Chase. |
| 79 | * TheBigGuy: Spike loves to break stuff. He can break anything with his head and it doesn't even hurt. |
| 80 | * TheBrute: Indeed. |
| 81 | * DeadpanSnarker: Occasionally. |
| 82 | * EveryoneHasStandards: He called Principal Perry out for not helping her team. |
| 83 | * EvilCounterpart: OK, maybe not evil, but he is a more brutal and crude version of Chase. |
| 84 | * GoodIsNotNice: Douglas created him to help Chase in emergency situations. |
| 85 | * HairTriggerTemper: He's easily angered. |
| 86 | * HotBlooded: You simply can't calm Spike down. As Donald once said, "He's like a wild animal. All you can do is wait for the threat to pass or defeat him in battle." |
| 87 | * {{Jerkass}}: Spike has a sadistic and mean sense of humor. |
| 88 | * KnightInSourArmor: Despite the fact that Spike was meant to help the Lab Rats, he possesses a very hostile and argumentative attitude (but in a humorous way of course). |
| 89 | * MadeOfIron: As long as he's not fighting Principal Perry. |
| 90 | * NobleDemon: He is loyal to those who get on his good side. |
| 91 | * OneManArmy: Strong enough to beat up a group of JerkJock bullies like it's nothing. |
| 92 | * SuperStrength: Which he uses to break stuff. |
| 93 | * WouldntHitAGirl: When Kate's Commando App causes her to go on an endless rampage of destruction, Spike is activated with the intent of fighting her to a standstill, but he claims he doesn't fight girls. Then he ''joins'' her. |
| 94 | [[/folder]] |
| 95 | |
| 96 | [[folder:Adam Davenport]] |
| 97 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Adam_Davenport_-_Season_2_2412.jpg]] |
| 98 | ->'''Played by:''' Spencer Boldman |
| 99 | |
| 100 | * AesopAmnesia: Notably averted by Season 4. In ''Adam Steps Up'', he didn't take his position as a mentor seriously, but learned his lesson. In ''Simulation Manipulation'', he takes his job more seriously and notices Chase might have been using his students to cheat. |
| 101 | * BeautyBrainsAndBrawn: The Brawn to Bree's Beauty and Chase's Brains. |
| 102 | * BewareTheSillyOnes: His huge concern for safety after a dislocation was an even bigger liability than his usual silliness. |
| 103 | * BigBrotherBully: Has moments of this, mainly towards Chase. |
| 104 | * BigBrotherInstinct: Despite the above, Adam ultimately cares for his siblings, and the possibility of them getting hurt is a major BerserkButton for him. He stands up for Bree and Chase when they're bullied by other kids in early episodes, and in "Parallel Universe" he was quick to push them behind him after being told that Donald's new device could gravely injure them. In "Taken," he beats the crap out of Krane after the latter throws a fireball at Bree. |
| 105 | ** As Leo's step-brother, he is very kind to him and plays with him a lot. Just like his biological siblings, he cares about Leo and will stand up for him as often as possible. |
| 106 | * TheBigGuy: Adam is the muscle of the group due to his large height and super strength. |
| 107 | * BlowYouAway: Gains "pressurized lung capacity" in ''Brother Battle'', the ability to unleash a massive gust of wind from his mouth. |
| 108 | * BunnyEarsLawyer: Turns out Adam has become a much better mentor around Season 4, even with his low intelligence. What makes him a more effective mentor is that he motivates his students -- unfortunately, this happens to be at Chase's expense. |
| 109 | * CasanovaWannabe: He claims he can get girls better than Chase, but he's just as bad as he is at getting girls. Although... |
| 110 | * ChickMagnet: Being six-foot-tall and built like a brick house, he ''does'' have a few girls fawning over him, including Danielle in ''Leo's Jam'' and AbhorrentAdmirer Caitlin in ''Robot Fight Club''. |
| 111 | * CoolTeacher: For the students at the Bionic Academy. He treats the students he mentors like friends, encouraging and guiding them. |
| 112 | * CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: He usually has no idea what's going on, even if it's something simple to understand, but he is still the strongest Lab Rat. |
| 113 | ** It's only when his family is in danger that his inner Badass truly comes out. The most noteworthy example of this can be seen in ''Bionic Showdown'', when he ''destroys'' Marcus with simply one KamehameHadoken attack to save Leo. |
| 114 | * DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: In the crossover episode with ''Series/MightyMed'', he accidentally takes out The Crusher, a superhero deemed the WorldsStrongestMan. |
| 115 | * DisappointingOlderSibling: Due to his stupidity and recklessness. |
| 116 | * DumbMuscle: He does become aware about this later on. |
| 117 | * DumbassHasAPoint: This comes more and more into play as Season Two progresses. |
| 118 | * EyeBeams: Has this power whenever he gets very angry (although he learns to control it in later seasons). |
| 119 | * {{Flanderization}}: His BigBrotherBully tendencies gradually increase throughout the series, to the point where he can barely go one scene without insulting or hitting Chase. |
| 120 | * FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: The Foolish to Chase, Bree, and sometimes Leo's Responsible. When Adam does start to act more responsible in terms of safety, it develops into paranoia and creates a lot more problems for the team than those that result from his usual carelessness. |
| 121 | * TheFool: He jokes around at the most inappropriate times. |
| 122 | * GentleGiant: Adam is portrayed by Spencer Boldman, who is the tallest of the entire Lab Rats cast (and of ''the entire Disney XD line-up of teen actors'' circa 2012, as seen [[https://youtu.be/oFQwRUFkf3I?t=89 here]]) at 6'2" (6'1" at the time). Adam may dwarf everyone with his height, but doesn't deliberately harm anyone except Chase. He is very careless, though, which sometimes leads to others accidentally getting hurt. |
| 123 | * HandBlast: Has this power whenever he gets very excited, afraid or angry. |
| 124 | * HiddenDepths: While not possessing ObfuscatingStupidity by any means, Adam is occasionally far more clever than anyone gives him credit for. |
| 125 | ** Season Two has shown his character definitely moving in this direction, as his interrogation by Principal Perry [[ConfusionFu allowed him to fool her completely and get them off the hook for his slip-about 'going on missions']], give Bree and Chase a well-deserved scare [[OhCrap by mimicking each of their powers, as if he's showing exactly what they can do]], prove that he can keep the family secret... [[CoolAndUnusualPunishment and get Leo back for snarking off when they got detention]]. |
| 126 | * HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: He has a problem with this, especially with Douglas. He also flirts with S-1, an evil bionic soldier. |
| 127 | * {{Jerkass}}: Can be this to his siblings quite frequently, especially Chase, whom he thinks it's funny to punch. |
| 128 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He can be an egotistical BigBrotherBully at times, but he really does care about his siblings, and is ready to make up for his mistakes when he's realizes he's crossed a line. |
| 129 | * JerkassRealization: In ''Spike Fright'', when his envy gets the best of him and results in him ruining Chase's chance of having a girlfriend, Adam started taking action for his responsibilities for once, and saved their relationship. |
| 130 | * KamehameHadoken: Adam's hidden bionic ability. Referred to as the "blast wave," it's powerful enough to instantly drop superpowered androids with one shot and does enough collateral damage to collapse hidden underground lairs. |
| 131 | * LiteralMinded: One of the ways his stupidity manifests itself. |
| 132 | -->'''Chase:''' Bree, how fast can you subdue the crew? |
| 133 | -->'''Bree:''' Look who you’re talking to. [[MetaphorIsMyMiddleName “Fast” is my middle name.]] |
| 134 | -->'''Adam:''' [[EmbarrassingMiddleName Lucky. Mine's "Charles".]] |
| 135 | * {{Malaproper}}: Another tendency of his, which gives us such gems as "You're a total hypnotist!" and "It was very scrumptious of your part". |
| 136 | * MeaningfulName: It's no coincidence that Adam, the world's first bionic superhuman, shares his name with [[Literature/BookOfGenesis the first human being created by God]]. His middle name, Charles, could be a reference to famous 20th century bodybuilder Charles Atlas, fitting for someone endowed with SuperStrength. |
| 137 | * MrFanservice: |
| 138 | ** In general, he's occasionally seen wearing tight-fitting or sleeveless tops that bring out his musculature. |
| 139 | ** He spends most of the episode ''Dude, Where's My Lab?'' with his arms bare, and when Leo takes advantage of the siblings' bionic abilities to earn them the money they need, Adam steps up and starts flexing. |
| 140 | ** At the start of ''Leo vs. Evil'', as he's about to arm-wrestle Chase, he brags about his biceps and starts kissing them, much to Chase's annoyance. |
| 141 | ** In ''My Little Brother'', when he shrinks, [[ShapeshiftingExcludesClothing his clothes don't]], leaving him naked (and visibly annoyed over it) inside his shoe. |
| 142 | ** Perhaps the most notable fanservice moment for Adam comes in ''Rise of the Secret Soldiers'', in which he actually [[ShirtlessScene gets shirtless]] and [[https://youtu.be/dou6DlpKFTo?t=120 flexes to the camera crew]] during the taping of their reality show. |
| 143 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: He's one of the main reasons Chase has such a big inferiority complex. Plus, his klutziness and immaturity tend to break important things. |
| 144 | * NoodleIncident: In "Space Elevator," Adam thinks a government agent is coming to take him away, and implies he might have broken the law. |
| 145 | * PersonalityBloodTypes: Type B. He seems to be more relaxed and even let his team think for themselves. His important lesson is "Don't be like Chase!" |
| 146 | * TheWorfEffect: He once lost a fight against Spike. |
| 147 | * TookALevelInJerkass: He became more annoying and mean-spirited in later seasons. Justified that it is only shown later that he truly loves pushing his sibling's buttons. If ''Lab Rats: Elite Force'' is any indication, Adam throwing Chase around was his way of showing his brotherly love. |
| 148 | * RealMenWearPink: He's a self-described "huge, muscular, beastly man" with BigBrotherBully tendencies, but he also listens to Music/TaylorSwift, occasionally borrows Bree's lip gloss, loves animals, and wants to be a florist. |
| 149 | * RedOniBlueOni: The Blue to Chase and Bree's Red, at times. Other times, he is the Red to their Blue. |
| 150 | * RelationshipSabotage: He tried to interfere with Chase and Sabrina's relationship in "Spike Fright" due to his jealousy over Sabrina being interested in Chase rather than him. He does it again to Bree and Jake Chambers in the next episode (but directed more towards Chase, who ''is'' disguised as Bree). That time around, he had no reason to do so. |
| 151 | * SadistTeacher: In ''Lab Rats vs. Mighty Med'', he doesn't think it's fun to do an exercise without using bionics, because no one will get hurt. This is a problem because Kaz and Oliver don't have bionics. |
| 152 | * SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Manly Man to Leo's and sometimes Chase's Sensitive Guy. He tells Leo that his manhood is missing after he finds out that Leo has a fear of Sharks due to an incident involving a rubber shark. |
| 153 | * SpearCounterpart: To Bree, without the AlphaBitch qualities. |
| 154 | * SuperNotDrowningSkills: ''Sink or Swim'' reveals he can breathe underwater. When he nonchalantly brings this up to his siblings, he seems genuinely surprised that they don't share this ability. |
| 155 | * SuperStrength: His main power, which is explored to ridiculous extents over the course of the series (see DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu). |
| 156 | [[/folder]] |

| 158 | [[folder:Bree Davenport]] |
| 159 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Bree_Davenport_-_Season_2_5271.jpg]] |
| 160 | ->'''Played by:''' Creator/KelliBerglund |
| 161 | |
| 162 | * AlphaBitch: Moreso in Season 4 of Lab Rats, but zigzagged because her behavior borders more on childishness. Fittingly, her students are called the "Alpha Girls". |
| 163 | * BeautyBrainsAndBrawn: The Beauty to Adam's Brawn and Chase's Brains. |
| 164 | * BroughtDownToNormal: As of ''Three Minus Bree'', Bree destroys her bionic chip so she can live a normal life. When she realizes the consequences of not being part of the team, she wants her bionics back. Unfortunately, Douglas was the one who designed the Lab Rats' bionic chips, so there's no way for Donald to build a new chip. |
| 165 | ** Thankfully Leo convinces Douglas to help build her one in the next episode, restoring her to her former powers. |
| 166 | * BrattyTeenageDaughter: Becomes a plot point in ''Three Minus Bree''. Her EvilCounterpart is much worse. |
| 167 | * CuteAndPsycho: Only when she's Spikerella. |
| 168 | * DistaffCounterpart: To Adam (without the jock qualities). However, in a sheer twist of irony, Skylar filled that role more than Bree in an episode of ''Elite Force'', when Bree starts receiving the treatment that Chase usually gets from Adam. |
| 169 | * DeadpanSnarker: Although not as much as Chase or Leo, she definitely has her sassy moments. |
| 170 | * DramaQueen: She is prone to overreacting to a lot of minor things. Her EvilCounterpart in ''Parallel Universe'', however, is much worse, to the point of being a Mall Rat. |
| 171 | * {{Flanderization}}: She becomes a bit ruder in Season 4. |
| 172 | * FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: The foolish to Chase's responsible, and the responsible to Adam and Leo's foolish. |
| 173 | * FragileSpeedster: Played with. Like her brothers, she can survive punishment that would kill ordinary humans; however, she is also the least durable of the three, to the point that she easily got thrashed by a de-powered Skylar Storm in ''Elite Force''. |
| 174 | * GenkiGirl: While Bree can be a rational person, she can also be very reckless, childish and irresponsible. |
| 175 | * GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak: While she's proud of her own femininity, she's also a skilled fighter, can be a immature slob on occasion and even challenges people to do loogie contests with her. |
| 176 | * TheHeart: She can also breaks up fights and arguments between her siblings when they get out of hand. |
| 177 | * IJustWantToBeNormal: Becomes a plot point in "Three Minus Bree," where she destroys her chip and quits the team. Her desire to be normal is so strong that [[ItsAllAboutMe she initially fails to realize how the team would be affected by her actions]]. |
| 178 | * {{Irony}}: Bree makes fun of Chase a lot for getting pushed around by Adam. In an episode of ''Elite Force'', Skylar roughhouses her because Calderian sisters treat each other like brothers. After experiencing what Chase felt, being the sibling who got the short end of the physical strength stick, she lampshaded the treatment Adam gives to Chase. |
| 179 | * [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Jerkette with a Heart of Gold]]: Her vanity and brattiness do really come out in a few episodes, with "Three Minus Bree" being the most notable, but she's brutal when it does. |
| 180 | * LoveFreak: Her inability to keep a boyfriend. Oliver did return her feelings, but Skylar killed the moment. |
| 181 | * MadScientistsBeautifulDaughter: The only daughter of Douglas Davenport. |
| 182 | * ManipulativeBastard: She uses her "girl cry" to trick Donald, but he doesn't fall for it. |
| 183 | * MiddleChildSyndrome: In "Concert in a Can" and "Three Minus Bree". Technically, she's no longer the middle child with the addition of Daniel, but she was raised as it, as well as being the only girl in the family. |
| 184 | * MsFanservice: She’s a pretty girl who wears a tight spandex suit (and later a SpyCatsuit) that shows off her curves. |
| 185 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Bree feels remorseful after she had purposely broken her chip in “Three Minus Bree”, which became the premise of the next episode. |
| 186 | * PersonalityBloodTypes: Type O. She sometimes acts like an AlphaBitch. |
| 187 | * PhoneaholicTeenager: She can't go one minute without her phone. In ''Bionic Dog'', she takes Leo's smartphone and becomes romantically attracted to the phone's personal assistant. |
| 188 | * RedOniBlueOni: Both. Red to Adam, Blue to Chase. |
| 189 | * ResentfulOutnumberedSibling: She's the only girl in the family, and often wishes she had a sister. This angst is part of what contributes to her current behavior. Thankfully, she has a sister who's about to be born, and she gets Skylar as a surrogate sister. |
| 190 | * SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: The Energetic Girl to Chase's Savvy Guy. |
| 191 | * SadistTeacher: Implied in ''The Vanishing''. Either that or she takes a snoozefest. |
| 192 | * {{Slapstick}}: Due to the DoubleStandard, she has had far less AmusingInjuries than her brothers (i.e., in "Robot Fight Club", she's the only one of the Rats not on the receiving end of an Aikido throw). However she still occasionally has her fair share of injuries in episodes like "Quarantined" (slamming into a wall and falling down a flight of stairs) and "Prank You Very Much" (getting covered in spoiled milk and slipping on a wet floor). Then in ''Lab Rats: Elite Force'', she gets thrown around (and given a wedgie) by Skylar. |
| 193 | * SmarterThanYouLook: She's not the BrainyBrunette Chase is, but she's much smarter than Adam. She shows off her resourcefulness in "Bionic Showdown", and also in the ''Series/LabRatsEliteForce'' episode, "Follow The Leader", [[spoiler:especially when she suggested that Kaz and Oliver use their experience in a game they invented to free Chase and Skylar without collapsing the unstable building.]] |
| 194 | * TheSmurfettePrinciple: Until Skylar Storm joined in ''Series/LabRatsEliteForce'', Bree was the only girl on the team. |
| 195 | * SuperSpeed: He signature power. |
| 196 | * TookALevelInJerkass: She isn't really nice as she was in the first season. To be fair, she got better when she had a Skylar being a sister figure to talk to. |
| 197 | * TeamMom: Starts becoming this when the Bionic Island comes around. She's quite annoyed with herself when she starts acting like Chase and Sebastian's mom. |
| 198 | * TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Girly Girl to Skylar's Tomboy. |
| 199 | * VoiceChangeling: Vocal Manipulation is one of Bree's hidden bionic abilities. |

| 203 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/leo_s4_4.jpg]] |
| 204 | ->'''Played by:''' Tyrel Jackson Williams |
| 205 | |
| 206 | * ActionSurvivor: A given when you're living with the most biologically advanced humans on the planet. In addition, Leo has survived a lot of things that almost killed him. This is deconstructed in You Posted What?!, where S-1 made a beam collapse on Leo and destroyed his arm. Had the fire department not acted quickly, Leo would have died of blood loss. It's also lampshaded in Forbidden Hero, when the Lab Rats joke about Leo nearly dying on virtually every mission. |
| 207 | * ArtificialLimbs: Douglas had to install bionics in his right arm, because it was completely damaged beyond repair. Later in the series he gains a bionic leg after a botched rescue attempt to save Donald (Leo used his bionic arm to catch falling shuttle only to find out right after that Donald parachuted out at the last moment). The shuttle was too heavy and accelerating too fast for Leo's arm to handle, so he tried to jump clear of it only for the shuttle to crush his leg. |
| 208 | * AudienceSurrogate: In Season 1. |
| 209 | * {{Badbutt}}: He saved the Lab Rats from being crushed ([[HeroicSacrifice and nearly bought the farm himself]]), went to help Davenport in the tunnel when the other couldn't, [[AIIsACrapshoot stopped a virus-crazed Eddy]], and stood up to [[TheDragon Marcus]], even when threatened with his EyeBeams (and after Marcus had already tried to kill him once before, because he saw Leo as a threat). |
| 210 | ** TookALevelInBadass: In ''You Posted What?!'', Douglas enhances Leo's arm after it is crushed and it is now bionic. Giving him the bionic abilities include healing quickly, throwing energy balls, and increased physical strength. But only in his right arm. However, his aim is quite terrible, and he still needed more practice. |
| 211 | *** Upgraded his status again in "Rise of the Secret Soldiers" when Douglas unlocked his new bionic power of energy transference (which allows his to absorb any form of energy from a source and redirect it back at a target and he used it in his one-on-one battle against [[TheDragon S-1]] and easily defeated her. |
| 212 | * BlackAndNerdy: While not as smart as Donald and Chase, Leo is quite intelligent and resourceful for his age. |
| 213 | * ButtMonkey: He's usually the most bullied kid in school due to his scrawny nature and nerdy personality. Even his own siblings likes to poke fun at him, though they do love him, but they still find his impulsiveness and brash attitude quite obnoxious. |
| 214 | * CassandraTruth: No one believes him when he says Marcus is a "bad dude". |
| 215 | * ChildProdigy: Despite Donald's criticism, Leo's 'attack orbs' were very admirable. They were certainly flawed, but still impressive for a teenager to have built in a day or so. |
| 216 | * ClingyCostume: Solidly under the RuleOfFunny, as it's adhered to him in a way he's no longer comfortable with. |
| 217 | * CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: A bit goofy and impulsive, but he still had the guts to stand up to both Marcus and Krane. |
| 218 | * DitzyGenius: His strategies are good, but he's a real klutz. |
| 219 | * DeadpanSnarker: He and Chase are the master snarkers of the show. |
| 220 | * {{Deuteragonist}}: Leo is often this to the main trio, but a good number of episodes center on his character, to the point where he's arguably a full protagonist as well. |
| 221 | * FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: The foolish to Bree and Chase's responsible, and the responsible to Adam's foolish. |
| 222 | * GenreSavvy: In ''Curse of The Screaming Skull'', Leo describes everything he recently saw in a horror movie marathon, and cites specific scenes in relation to what is happening regarding a metal skull that Perry took from an uncharted island. |
| 223 | * {{Hypocrite}}: In ''Bionic Birthday Fail'', Leo ended up not getting invited to his own birthday celebration, yet Leo had no problem taking part in Chase's 16th birthday celebration that ''Chase himself'' wasn't invited to, even though he knows what that felt like. He also gets very upset when the Lab Rats make fun of his height, but does it fairly often to Chase. |
| 224 | * IJustWantToBeSpecial: No matter how far Leo gets, he still feels this way every time. |
| 225 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Leo can be an arrogant, self-absorbed and devious manipulator but he's also very caring, friendly and loyal to his family. He's rarely a cruel type of jerk, although he gets mean when he gets jealous. This is especially apparent in Leo's Jam, when he embarrasses Chase in front of the entire school so that he can win over the girl he likes (who at the time likes Chase). |
| 226 | * TheKlutz: Apparently, he's broken a ''lot'' of Donald's stuff. |
| 227 | * LiteralMinded: His response to Perry after she wakes up: |
| 228 | -->'''Perry:''' What is all the yelling about? I didn't have time to put my face on! |
| 229 | -->'''Leo:''' Wait, that thing's removable? |
| 230 | * MissionControl: As of "Missin' The Mission". |
| 231 | * TheLeader: In "On the Edge", he becomes one of a team composed of himself, a former enemy and a student with high appreciation for him. |
| 232 | * {{Muggle}}: He's slowly moving out of this, as he's becoming more and more involved with missions and the overall operations side of the Lab Rats' work. |
| 233 | * PluckyComicRelief: He wants to be seen as more than that, but even the President thinks that all he brings to the team is comic relief. He grows out of this role after he learns to effectively use his bionic arm and becomes an important part of the team. |
| 234 | * SecretKeeper: Though some of Davenport's projects are public knowledge. |
| 235 | * ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: Stated explicitly in Cyborg Shark Attack: "Even girls said you screamed like a girl". |
| 236 | * ShorterMeansSmarter: As short as Chase, but he is nowhere near as smart as him or a doctor. |
| 237 | * TheStrategist: He often comes up with the plan, and as of "Missin' The Mission", he's been promoted to strategic mission specialist. |
| 238 | * StylishProtectionGear: Leo's new team uniform. It looks good, with [[InTheHood a hood]] and [[BringMyRedJacket a red right sleeve (the hood's also red)]]. |
| 239 | * TagAlongKid: He was this during the Lab Rats' first mission. Other times, he's had to come along because the situation was desperate, and in one mission, it was just him and Donald. |
| 240 | * TheTeamWannabe: He becomes a part of the team as their mission specialist later on, but he's always desperately wanted to be bionic. He gets his wish, of course, in You Posted What?!, and becomes a full member of the team as of the second part of "Rise of the Secret Soldiers." |
| 241 | * WhatTheHellHero: In ''Rise of The Secret Soldiers'', he gives this to the Lab Rats when they argue and let fame go to their heads, leading to their downfall. |

| 244 | [[folder:Donald Davenport]] |
| 245 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Donald_Davenport_-_Season_2_9676.jpg]] |
| 246 | ->'''Played by:''' Creator/HalSparks |
| 247 | |
| 248 | * AntiHero: It's a bit hard to think of him as a hero after seeing how he treats his own family, like seeming to take pleasure from some of the Lab Rats' more physically exhausting or even painful training sessions. Even moreso after finding out that the reason Douglas was such a megalomaniac is because Donald used to make fun of him and beat him up. |
| 249 | * AbusiveParent: Became a plot point in "The Lab Rats Strike Back". He's generally a good man, he just seems have trouble balancing his responsibilities, and figuring out how to balance the Lab Rats' normal lives and their bionics. |
| 250 | * AlliterativeName |
| 251 | * AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: Both he and Tasha can be this, but he's the worst case of it because he clearly doesn't understand youth subculture. Whenever he tries to integrate himself in it, it's met with complete embarrassment. |
| 252 | * BadassBookworm: In ''Quarantined'', Davenport showed that he has some serious fighting skills - which were actually foreshadowed in ''Bionic Birthday Fail''. |
| 253 | %%* BadassNormal |
| 254 | * BigBrotherBully: He was this towards Douglas in the whole of their childhood, and even invented a robot just to beat him up. In fact, that's the reason why Douglas hated him so much before his HeelFaceTurn. |
| 255 | * BumblingDad: ''Adoptive'' dad, technically. |
| 256 | * CainAndAbel: He's the Abel to Douglas' Cain. However, if Douglas's grievances regarding Donald are of any indication, such as building a cruel robot to beat up Douglas, Donald wasn't much of a nice guy in the past either, even though he was the more responsible one. As the series progresses, it's pretty clear he's just as in the wrong as much as Douglas, especially when one takes into account his jerkass behavior, and he fact that he's been lying to the kids for years. |
| 257 | * CatchPhrase: '''"BOOM!"''' |
| 258 | * CoolUncle: In ''Concert In a Can'', he describes himself more as a "fun Uncle". Turns out, this statement is ''very'' accurate. ''Bionic Showdown'' reveals he's the uncle to Adam, Bree, and Chase. Then we find out he has ''another'' nephew--Daniel, and he tries to be the cool uncle to him. |
| 259 | * DeadpanSnarker: To Tasha or Leo, usually. |
| 260 | * DemotedToExtra: In season 4, he has been appearing in fewer episodes and Douglas seems to be replacing him. His disappearance is justifiable, as he has Davenport Industries to run, and he needs Douglas to take care of the academy when he's really busy. This is ''really'' played straight in Elite Force, because not only does he have a company to run, he probably has to check up on Adam and Leo at the Bionic Academy, and he's got a baby daughter who's about to be born. |
| 261 | * EmbarrassingNickname: Douglas and Perry call him "Donnie". |
| 262 | * {{Expy}}: He has some similarities to [[ComicBook/IronMan Tony Stark]]. |
| 263 | * GoodIsNotNice |
| 264 | * FatherlyScientist: Although he can be mean to them at times, he really cares about the Lab Rats. |
| 265 | * HairTriggerTemper: He gets angry rather easily. |
| 266 | * HappilyMarried: To Tasha. |
| 267 | * HatedByAll: It seems no one really likes him, and in ''Bionic Rebellion'', it's shown everyone's usually glad when he's not around. |
| 268 | * {{Hypocrite}}: All the time. |
| 269 | ** This is perhaps most prominent when he's telling Adam to lay off of Chase, considering he did the exact same thing to Douglas when they were kids. |
| 270 | ** In addition, Donald calls out Douglas for doing bad things and lying about them when he's no different himself, especially when it's revealed that Donald killed most of Leo's pets and lied to Leo about it for years. |
| 271 | * InsufferableGenius: He always feels the need to remind everyone that he's a billionaire scientist. |
| 272 | * InSeriesNickname: Leo usually refers to Davenport as "Big D". However, Leo feels only he has the right to use that nickname. |
| 273 | * ItsAllAboutMe: He doesn't like sharing the spotlight, as he mentioned in ''Robot Fight Club''. |
| 274 | * {{Jerkass}}: Usually when he dabbles in his ego. He's not very respectful towards others, especially his employees and brother, and he has a self-righteous attitude. |
| 275 | ** JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He genuinely and wholly loves his family, and when he's able to keep his ego in check, he's a nice guy. |
| 276 | * KarmaHoudini: Out of all the cast, he seems to learn his lesson the least, though he gets his comeuppance in episodes where his selfishness has serious consequences. |
| 277 | * LaserGuidedKarma: In ''Lab Rats vs. Mighty Med'', Donald was such a colossal {{Jerkass}} to Chase by not letting him talk, nor caring a damn for his opinion, and it was about an invention Chase ''helped him build''. Donald even went with a company that would pay the most, and without consulting Chase at all. Afterwards, The Incapacitator maims Donald, forcibly copies his retinal signature, and steals the invention. The Incapacitator may have been a ruthless villain, but the punishment Donald received from him was well deserved. |
| 278 | * MadScientist: Under RuleOfFunny |
| 279 | * ManChild: The man's got a bedroom full of video games and action figures, and loves superheroes. |
| 280 | ** PsychopathicManchild: Especially in "The Lab Rats Strike Back". Also, in ''Face Off'', where he puts Leo and Douglas through sadistic tests for revenge and laughs. |
| 281 | * MissionControl |
| 282 | * MoralMyopia: Donald is very self-righteous to the point where he feels when he does something people can see as bad, it's justified, and he will dismiss it, but when Douglas does something bad, it's despicable. |
| 283 | * MrViceGuy: He's on the good side, and loves his family, but some things do set him off. He can be very selfish at times, he loves himself a bit too much for his own good, is way too inflexible when it comes to being the leader, gets very impatient when he wants something, and enjoys torturing people. |
| 284 | * {{Narcissist}}: To point that he has an art vault, complete with multiple copies of famous paintings with his own face painted on it, which he calls Daven-Portraits. |
| 285 | * {{Nephewism}}: He never told the Lab Rats that their real father is his brother, Douglas, technically making Donald their uncle and Leo their cousin by marriage. But he's also their adoptive father, so... |
| 286 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: Despite claiming that Douglas being a former villain ruined the family, The way Donald acted as a child is partially responsible for Douglas's past actions, and he absolutely refuses to admit that. |
| 287 | * NeverMyFault: Happens in several episodes, but special mention goes to ''Brother Battle''. He blames Douglas for upsetting the balance within the team, however, the whole mess could've been avoided if Donald had just done something sooner to help Chase. It could be argued that Donald was somewhat sympathetic towards Adam, having been that brother in the past, and that that's why he didn't say anything, and that Douglas was sympathetic towards Chase, hence why he helped him out by giving him the Laser Bo. |
| 288 | * OmnidisciplinaryScientist: Donald's a brilliant inventor, engineer, mechanic, theoretical physicist and pretty much every field of science. |
| 289 | * ParentalFavoritism: |
| 290 | ** It's subtle, but he seems to hold this toward Adam, barely ever reprimanding him for his treatment of Chase. In "Brother Battle", when Douglas unlocks an ability for Chase that allows him to actually fight back against Adam's brute force, Donald is outraged. |
| 291 | ** He has shades this regarding Eddy, often disregarding how the computer treats everyone else, and openly calling him his best friend. |
| 292 | * {{Pride}}: Donald thinks too highly of himself, enough that he can't learn to be pragmatic even in the toughest of situations. His pride ends up becoming problematic in ''Which Father Knows Best?'', when he refuses to accept any help from Douglas, even though ''he's'' the one who created Bree's chip in the first place. Donald stubbornly believed he could fix Bree's chip, but Leo knew he wasn't fooling anyone. |
| 293 | * SecretKeeper: Donald is aware of the superhero world, but he kept it secret without any prompting from anyone. This was why he was the only person Kaz, Oliver and Skylar could come to when Mighty Med got destroyed. |
| 294 | * SkewedPriorities: In ''Which Father Knows Best?'', Bree's chip fix caused her to run without stopping, but Donald was too busy trying to slam Douglas as he always does: |
| 295 | -->'''Bree:''' Help me! |
| 296 | -->'''Donald:''' Bree, do you mind? The adults are trying to have a conversation here. |
| 297 | * SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: In ''Elite Force'' he he takes Horace Diaz's place as Kaz and Oliver's eccentric, wacky boss, though more annoying in Skylar's eyes. |
| 298 | * TookALevelInJerkass: Lab Rats Strike Back makes him look like a complete douche, and gives him an even bigger ego than before. |
| 299 | * WhatTheHellHero: While he has been the one giving this to the Lab Rats whenever they start acting selfish, he himself has been on the receiving end of it in several occasions. For example, Chase and his siblings gave him this for being ungrateful when Douglas saved them from Krane, or when Donald kicked Douglas even though he showed promise after fixing Bree's chip. Ironically, even ''Douglas himself'', of all people has given his brother this at least once, such as when Donald yelled at Leo for doing the right thing when things were desperate for Bree. |
| 300 | * TheWorfEffect: Like Douglas, he's good at keeping up with the villains, but often gets defeated due to not being bionic, |
| 301 | * YoureInsane: He's on the receiving end of this in ''Face Off'' with Douglas and Leo. They both got tired of all the painful tests Donald put them through, which leads Douglas to deliver this line to his brother: |
| 302 | -->'''Douglas:''' At least when [[TheSociopath Krane]] gave me electric shocks, he explained ''why''! |

| 328 | * DeadpanSnarker: It's how she usually reacts to the insanity that plays around her. |
| 329 | * FakeGuestStar: She is a recurring character who appears quite frequently. Though her appearances do decrease within each passing season. |
| 330 | * HappilyMarried: To Donald. |
| 331 | * KentBrockmanNews: Her job mostly consists of stories of babies that look like ex-presidents and stuff. The runaway train was her first real assignment according to her. |
| 332 | * ObnoxiousInLaws: Inverted between her and Donald's brother Douglas. Tasha is mistrustful of Douglas due to him giving Leo bionics. |
| 333 | * OnlySaneWoman: Towards Bree and Donald. |
| 334 | * OutOfFocus: She is absent for almost all of Season 4 of the show due to living off the bionic island and being pregnant with a baby, making only four out of twenty-six appearances. |
| 335 | * ParentalFavoritism: Tasha is still not set on the Lab Rats living in the house, which is why she tends to show favoritism towards her own son and Bree. |
| 336 | * ParentalSubstitute: To the lab rats, but especially to Bree who often comes to Tasha for advice. |
| 337 | * SassyBlackWoman: Definitely, even though she's the more sane one. |
| 338 | * SecretKeeper: For the Lab Rats until their secret was exposed to the world. Tasha became this for Leo's bionics until he accidentally revealed them in ''Rise of The Secret Soldiers''. |
| 339 | * SitcomArchNemesis: Tasha and Eddy despise each other. |
| 340 | * UnfazedEveryman: She eventually grows into this. |

| 344 | [[folder:Douglas Davenport]] |
| 345 | ->'''Played by:''' Jeremy Kent Jackson |
| 346 | |
| 347 | * AntiHero: He certainly isn't the most moral fellow even now, but is on the good side regardless. |
| 348 | * AntiVillain: In early season 3, due to Krane being EvilerThanThou. |
| 349 | * AffablyEvil: Even at his most villainous, he was geniunely a carefree and jovial guy. He even suggested that the Lab Rats could work for him while still spending family nights together to show that he loves them in his own way. |
| 350 | * AbusiveParents: It's implied that his parents always ignored him over Donald. Played with in regards to the Lab Rats and Marcus; he does not remember their birthdays and wanted to use them to commit crimes, but he also has moments that show he does care for them, especially after his HeelFaceTurn. |
| 351 | * AfraidOfNeedles: in a throwaway gag, he reveals that he kicked out of med school because he kept screaming every time he saw needles. Oddly enough, this did not seem to be a problem when he cobbled together a harpoon that has a needle. |
| 352 | * AxCrazy: Before his HeelFaceTurn. |
| 353 | * AlliterativeName: '''D'''ouglas '''D'''avenport. |
| 354 | * AmbiguouslyBi: He dated Giselle in college, and there are tons of references to Douglas' and Krane's relationship being like that of a married couple, many of which come from Douglas himself. |
| 355 | -->'''Douglas''': Kids, this is my partner, Victor Krane. |
| 356 | -->'''Adam''': Wait, so now we have three dads? |
| 357 | * AmbiguouslyEvil: He gets ''more'' ambiguous with each appearance after "Bionic Showdown". When he was officially introduced, his agenda was hinted to involve renting out bionic humans to dictators and terrorists, and enslaving Adam, Bree, and Chase for his own evil purposes. Then when discussed in "Avalanche", Chase wondered if Douglas was going to build some bombs, take over a tiny country, and steal money from old ladies. Douglas responds that he ''could'' do those things (albeit not in that order), but then says he just wants to get back at his brother and beat him at something. In his next few appearances, everything he does is done just to spite Donald, including blowing up the lab and stealing all of his money. Finally, in "Which Father Knows Best?", Douglas learns Bree smashed her chip, and that Donald can't fix it. At first he sees it as another thing he could rub in his brother's face, but Leo reminds him that there are more important things than winning against his brother, which leads into his HeelFaceTurn. |
| 358 | * AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Turned evil. He eventually lets go of this trait. |
| 359 | * ArchnemesisDad: To Adam, Bree, and Chase, although they didn't know it prior to "Bionic Showdown". |
| 360 | * BadassBookworm: He's just as good a fighter (and a much more brutal one) as his brother and is more intelligent. |
| 361 | * BadassBoast: |
| 362 | ** "Do you want me to blow up the lab again? I'm good at it." |
| 363 | ** "Guess I just have to be the bigger man!" |
| 364 | * BadassNormal: Even without any powers, he went up against Krane, who was the most powerful character at the time, and came close to defeating him. |
| 365 | * ByronicHero: He still doesn't have any morals, but he is on the good side. |
| 366 | * BewareTheSillyOnes: He has a comedic side, but he used to be a cold blooded super villain and the most dangerous force the Rats faced until Krane came along. Even now, if you hurt his family he ''will'' make it bite you in the arse. |
| 367 | * BigBadDuumvirate: Has formed one with Victor Krane ever since he got kicked out of Davenport Industries, but it wasn't apparent until the beginning of Season 3. However Krane goes completely insane, betrays him and tries to kill him. It's later revealed they weren't as thick as thieves either, and that Krane kept many secrets from him. |
| 368 | * BigBadWannabe: He's reduced to this as Krane goes increasingly homicidal and mad with power, resulting in Douglas pulling a HeelFaceTurn. |
| 369 | * BigDamnHeroes: When he saved the Lab Rats from Krane. |
| 370 | * BelligerentSexualTension: Perry's dragging him into this. |
| 371 | * ButtMonkey: He never really gets the respect he deserves. The President sees him as nothing more than "the help", nearly all jokes are aimed at him (especially in "You Posted What?!"), and he's also getting harassed by [[AbhorrentAdmirer Perry]]. |
| 372 | * CainAndAbel: The Cain to Donald's Abel. This is explored a little further in "Brother Battle", and it's revealed that they always tried to beat each other up. |
| 373 | * CharacterDevelopment: Douglas started out as a vengeance-driven megalomaniac obsessed with getting back at Donald. However, "Avalanche" shows that Donald had partially driven him into this, and he softens a little after teaming up with the Lab Rats to fight Krane. Leo convinces him that it isn't that important to get the upper hand over Donald, and Douglas slowly gains the family's trust. |
| 374 | * ChekhovsGunman: Douglas is alluded to in "Exoskeleton vs. Grandma", but supposedly as part of a lie cooked up by Donald to come up with an explanation for Adam, Bree and Chase. Eventually, Douglas makes his appearance, and everything Donald said to Leo's grandma regarding him turned out to be accurate (except for him falling into a volcano). |
| 375 | * ChekhovsSkill: Remember how Douglas hacked into Davenport Industries and liquidated all their assets? He uses his hacking skills to create a virus to fry all of Giselle's servers. |
| 376 | * ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Inverted. Two of Douglas's partners betray him: Victor Krane attempts to kill him when he was done with him, and Giselle uses a movie as a front to eliminate the Lab Rats. |
| 377 | * ChuckCunninghamSyndrome[=/=]WhatHappenedToTheMouse: His absence during the Bionic Island arc is mostly justified, as his knowledge of Krane and bionics would be a StoryBreakerPower and would've resulted in most of the problems occurring in that arc being solved too easily. He is mentioned in "Bionic Rebellion" and returns in "Under Siege". |
| 378 | * DatingCatwoman: Perry tries this with him. He doesn't love her back, mostly because she's about in her late 50's. However, he doesn't want to hurt her feelings, so he plays along, but clearly doesn't enjoy it. One has to wonder why he doesn't just use a cybermask to hide himself from her. |
| 379 | * DeliberatelyBadExample: Douglas' main purpose was to offset Donald's unpopular traits, showing that while Donald can be a jerk to everyone, he means a lot to the kids, whereas Douglas was ruthless to the point that he would use bionic humans as weapons. After his HeelFaceTurn, he's supposed to serve as this trope in a different manner by almost always breaking the rules and by making decisions that even Donald knows are legitimately reckless and probably illegal. This doesn't work because Donald's stubbornness and ego-driven jerkassery ends up looking ''more'' disreputable, causing Douglas's actions to be glossed over, which is ironic considering Douglas has a similar mentality to his brother. |
| 380 | * DiabolicalMastermind: Able to create bionic humans and high tech gear. Unfortunately, it fell in the wrong hands. |
| 381 | * DidntThinkThisThrough: Douglas didn't think Leo needed a capsule because only his arm is bionic. Leo's arm acts up in "Under Siege" because it hadn't been calibrated to his nervous system yet. |
| 382 | * EnemyMine: He becomes fed up with Krane after being betrayed by him and teams up with the Lab Rats in "Taken". |
| 383 | ** This happens again in "Which Father Knows Best?", where Leo had to find Douglas because he was the only one who could restore Bree's bionics. |
| 384 | |
| 385 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: |
| 386 | ** When Krane tells him to use his Triton App update to destroy Adam, Bree, and Chase, Douglas refuses and explains that destroying the Lab Rats was never part of his plan, only to be told off by Krane. Despite later dialogue stating he tried to kill the Lab Rats 522 times, Douglas repeatedly emphasizes that he had no intentions of hurting Adam, Bree, and Chase even at his most evil. |
| 387 | ** It's later revealed in "Rise of The Secret Soldiers" that when he designed their chips, he installed a protocol that will allow them to fuse their bionics, but he didn't tell them because the results would be catastrophic and it was only to be used as a last resort. It's clear now that he never wanted to kill them in the first place. |
| 388 | ** Krane also wanted to put a doomsday virus in the Triton App that would activate in the event of his death. Douglas refused, but Krane added it anyways behind his back. |
| 389 | ** He made another kid, Daniel, who was a baby when Donald took the original three Lab Rats. As much as he wanted to use Adam, Bree and Chase as weapons, he couldn't raise Daniel while on the run, and chose to put him up for adoption to keep him away from all his chaos. |
| 390 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He geniunely loved the Lab Rats, even in his villain days. He also loves his dog, Otis. Even after he discovers Krane turned Otis into his personal henchman, Douglas still couldn't hurt him. |
| 391 | * [[EvilUncle Evil Step-Uncle]]: To Leo, which the latter jokingly lampshades in "Face Off". After his HeelFaceTurn, it's an honorary title. |
| 392 | * ExactWords: Donald gets angry at him for upsetting the balance of power on the team, because he gave Chase a new ability. Douglas "restores balance" by giving ''Adam'' a new ability. |
| 393 | * FriendlyEnemy: To Donald and the Lab Rats back in his villain days. He acted friendly towards them, even while fighting them. Leo, however, was the bane of his existence because he found out about his plan before everyone did. He only first approached Leo as a friend in "Taken". |
| 394 | * FakingTheDead: Apparently, he's really good at doing this. He was presumed dead prior to the start of the series. |
| 395 | * FauxAffablyEvil: A straight example in his villain days: Always cheerful and friendly, but underneath it all was cold-blooded ruthlessness. Case in point, him suggesting he, Adam, Bree, and Chase plan family game nights while he's working to enslave them. He switches to AffablyEvil in Season 3, and the "evil" part is gone (mostly) after "Sink or Swim". |
| 396 | * ForgivenButNotForgotten: While his family has accepted him, the things he did while he was evil are almost always brought up. Douglas still has a long way to go in earning everyone's trust, and he does so by making himself useful. |
| 397 | * GiveHimANormalLife: He put Daniel up for adoption for this reason. |
| 398 | * GoodIsNotSoft: He is a nice guy, but [[DoNotGoGentle don't expect him to go easy on a villain]]. ''Especially'' if they hurt his kids. |
| 399 | |
| 400 | * GreenEyedMonster: He is envious of his older brother, Donald, and it's implied to be at least partially responsible for him turning evil. He overcomes it after his HeelFaceTurn, though he still slips into this every now and then. |
| 401 | |
| 402 | * HeelFaceTurn: After Krane decides he wants to kill Adam, Bree and Chase, Douglas begins to have second thoughts. As Krane gets more and more insane he turns on him to save his kids' lives, and truly redeems himself when he builds Bree a new chip and agrees to work with Donald to save her when it malfunctions. After some prompting Donald agrees to give him a second chance. |
| 403 | * HeroicComedicSociopath: He still admits that he has gone against the law, like it's no big deal. Usually, his response is to resort to the violent option if he's in a tight spot. In "You Posted What?", he suggests that he could blow up the lab just to get rid of all the agents looking for them; however, the intention was more to get away than to kill them, seeing as he had panicked. |
| 404 | * HumanPopsicle: Gets frozen solid by his brother's new freeze ray after Chase tricked him. |
| 405 | * InsufferableGenius: Like his brother and son. |
| 406 | * ItsAllAboutMe: After his CharacterDevelopment, he gets rid of this mentality and becomes more selfless and caring. |
| 407 | * JustAMachine: He's pretty indifferent, almost amused by the fact that his son is going to die before turning 16 because Marcus is 'just an android'. This did NOT bode well for him when Marcus came back. However, dialogue during ''Bionic Action Hero'' implies he does miss Marcus. |
| 408 | * KnightOfCerebus: He's much darker than most of the show's other villains, as well as most Disney villains at the time. Although still portrayed as somewhat light hearted, he is a realistic mad scientist who's engaged in experimenting on children, has no problems committing outright murder, and before redeeming himself his long term goal appeared to be a mixture of brainwashing, slavery and ChildSoldiers. |
| 409 | ** Even after his HeelFaceTurn, he still casually and (mostly) shamelessly admits to having committed countless crimes. However, that's closer to ComedicSociopathy. |
| 410 | * LackOfEmpathy: Douglas has trouble grasping the concept of empathy. Back when he was a villain this made him incredibly dangerous, and even after his HeelFaceTurn he still seems to have trouble with it outside his own family, describing potential horrific events or even deaths in a way that always relates to himself. However, he does have a sense of empathy and compassion despite that: it's clear he feels guilt for his past actions, and he turned on Krane when the other man went too far. |
| 411 | * LaughablyEvil: Sure, he's threatening...but he's also just as crazy as Donald is. He even posted hilarious updates that Adam has been reading. His jokes however, are [[SoUnfunnyItsFunny really terrible]]. |
| 412 | * TheLancer: He's now Donald's right hand man, and takes over the Bionic Academy when he's not there. Of course, if something goes wrong, he's the one who gets held responsible. |
| 413 | * LargeHam: Probably the biggest ham on the show. Especially when name rivaling with his brother, Donald, or in this case, "Donny!" In fact, the first thing he did when he came on screen was yell "I'M BAAAAACK!". |
| 414 | * LukeIAmYourFather: He's the one who created Adam, Bree, and Chase. This means (almost) everything Donald said in ''Exoskeleton vs. Grandma'' was accurate all along. |
| 415 | * ManlyManAndSensitiveGuy: The Manly Man to Leo or Donald's Sensitive Guy. |
| 416 | * MadScientist: An interesting example. Rather than being a stereotypical mad scientist. Douglas is instead presented as someone who is both close to realistically dangerously insane and a super-genius scientist. Of course, there's also the fact that he has trouble making an invention that won't end with someone getting hurt. |
| 417 | ** In "Spider Island" he reveals that before he went into technology he tried to bring extinct species of animals back from the dead. He never cracked it, so him claiming to have reanimated his brother's dead gerbil might not have been a stretch. |
| 418 | * TheManBehindTheMan: Douglas had a strong influence on every bionic-related incident that takes place in the series, as it was his idea to implant bionics into human beings. He gave Krane bionic abilities as well as technology and research, which led Krane to become a power-hungry, psychopathic mastermind and genetically engineer his own bionic soldiers. Douglas also gave his ex-girlfriend Giselle his research on androids. |
| 419 | * MrFixit: In the academy, he's the guy responsible for all their tech needs, supplies, etc. |
| 420 | * MrViceGuy: Despite his InsufferableGenius traits and somewhat psychopathic behaviour, he's otherwise a pretty nice guy. |
| 421 | * MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: He never got one, because he failed. |
| 422 | * OmnidisciplinaryScientist: Just like his brother, Douglas is a specialist in bionics, engineering, genetics and a whole lot more. |
| 423 | * OnlySaneMan: He shares this trope with Chase. Unlike Donald, Douglas has matured after his HeelFaceTurn, though he doesn't always play by the rules. |
| 424 | * PapaWolf: Say what you will about him, but the man loves his kids. He turns on Krane after the latter expresses wanting to destroy Adam, Bree and Chase, and offers his life to protect Daniel from Marcus (albeit as part of a trick, but the fact he didn't offer Donald up instead shows how serious he was being). |
| 425 | * PetTheDog: Quite literally. The one being he actually cared for after being kicked out from Davenport Industries was his pet dog, Otis. Chase and co. are surprised that a bad guy like Douglas actually had someone he cared for. |
| 426 | * PunchClockVillain: Even when he was a villain, Douglas was still an all-around fun guy. He even shared a few jokes with Donald and the Lab Rats. This goes to the point where he suggested that he would plan family game night to show them that he can still be their dad, while enslaving them. |
| 427 | * {{Revenge}}: Formerly motivated by getting revenge on Donald for doing nothing but overshadow and drag Douglas down his whole life, which screwed him up emotionally. He lets go of this after his HeelFaceTurn, not that Donald sees himself as responsible for any of it in the first place. |
| 428 | * ShadowArchetype: Formerly to his brother Donald. Donald is an arrogant jerk who doesn't always treat Leo or the Lab Rats with proper respect, but he at least tries to keep it in check. Douglas on the other hand is far worse in regards to his arrogance. However, it was Donald who screwed Douglas' life up in the past and is partially responsible for his behavior, but he doesn't take responsibility for it. After Douglas' HeelFaceTurn, Donald instead starts to become this to him. Douglas is portrayed as less responsible, but is more tolerant of his children's mistakes and can relate to them better than Donald, who just has way too much pride to notice how they feel. Douglas also isn't afraid to call Donald out when he treats them poorly. |
| 429 | * TakeMeInstead: When he sees Marcus torturing Daniel, Douglas offers his life up instead, as he is the one Marcus hates the most. Subverted in that it's a trick to get Daniel to copy Marcus's abilities. Even so, the fact that Douglas offered himself as the bait and not Donald shows Douglas was willing to take responsibility and pay for what he did to Marcus. |
| 430 | * TragicVillain: The reason he turned evil was that Donald (and, implicitly, their parents) mistreated him for so long that he became obsessed with getting the upper hand until Leo convinces him that family is more important than {{Revenge}}. |
| 431 | * TheWorfEffect: Though he's very good at keeping up against Krane and other bionic villains, he sometimes falls into this, mostly to have the Lab Rats save the day. |
| 432 | * ThrowTheDogABone: Donald doesn't trust Douglas to be a part of Davenport Industries again, but he does let Douglas take care of the Academy when he can't be around. |
| 433 | * TrulySingleParent: Douglas never married, and he created Adam, Bree, Chase and Daniel via genetic engineering. |
| 434 | * VillainRespect: To Donald and the Lab Rats when he was a villain. |
| 435 | * WeCanRuleTogether: Tries this with Chase. It backfires horribly. |
| 436 | * WouldHurtAChild: Not his own, but Leo was fair game because he kept interfering with his plans. |
| 437 | * UncertainDoom: In the season finale of ''Elite Force'' (which became its series finale after its cancellation) he is [[spoiler:attacked and left for dead by Reese.]] His actor later confirmed that Douglas was alive, but it remains unknown whether he retained any lasting damage or not. |

| 439 | |
| 440 | [[folder:Principal Terry Perry]] |
| 441 | ->'''Played by:''' Creator/MaileFlanagan |
| 442 | |
| 443 | * AbhorrentAdmirer: First to Joey Logano, then to Douglas Davenport, as of "You Posted What?!". Apparently, she stuck to the latter. |
| 444 | * ArsonMurderAndAdmiration: When Perry returns in the ''Elite Force'' episode ''Follow The Leader'', she calls out Chase for [[spoiler:locking Skylar in Mission Command so that she wouldn't upstage him]], gives Chase a WhatTheHellHero moment by telling him they're not so different after all, then gets impressed by telling him "You really could be my son!" |
| 445 | * AscendedExtra: Was more of a minor character in the first season, but began to appear more and more afterwards to the point of becoming a FakeGuestStar. She even has more appearances than Tasha. |
| 446 | * BadassNormal: Took down Spike all by herself and (maybe) single-handedly defeated a military robot version of herself, and doesn't even have bionics. Then she has a tendency to survive a lot of punishment. In ''You Posted What?'', it's revealed she has metal implants in her left hip, left shoulder, and skull. |
| 447 | * BigBad: In Season 1, as she was the closest to a main antagonist at that time. She becomes a TokenEvilTeammate in Season 3. |
| 448 | * {{Blackmail}}: Perry blackmails Donald to pay her when she needs it, or for him to help her with some antics, because It's the only way she will keep their secret. Since the world now knows about their secret, her blackmail is now useless. |
| 449 | * BullyingADragon: She makes the Lab Rats her bionic servants now that she knows their secret. It ends when Lab Rats are outed to the rest of the world however to her dismay. On the other hand, she has more respect for Superheroes, because their powers are real compared to bionic people, the latter of whom she regards as robots. |
| 450 | * BunnyEarsLawyer: Apparenly, the one job she's better at is her job as the Bionic Academy's head of security, even though she's still being Perry along the way. After all, that was the kind of job she's had before becoming principal. |
| 451 | * CantLiveWithThemCantLiveWithoutThem: This is her sentiment towards the Davenports. Perry doesn't like them, but she enjoys ''having them around'' to hate. If anything bad ''actually'' happens to them, she would be devastated. |
| 452 | * CardCarryingVillain: According to herself, Perry exists to crush people's dreams and ruin their fun. Perry even openly admits to being deceitful and manipulative in ''Alien Gladiators'', and also stealing in ''Under Siege''. Her song, which is a blatant rip off of Canada's national anthem, very much highlights her as this. |
| 453 | * CassandraTruth: Just like Leo with Marcus, no one believes her when she knows Sebastian is evil. Given everyone's history with her, and that she's a chronic liar, it's not hard to understand why they wouldn't believe her. |
| 454 | * ChildHater: By ''Unauthorized Mission'' however, she decides that tormenting other kids isn't as enjoyable anymore, because Adam, Bree and Chase's absence made her life feel empty. |
| 455 | * CryingWolf: Perry is a chronic liar, and says a lot of things that are unbelievable. It's later revealed she got fired from many jobs because she kept lying. You'd have to wonder how she kept her job as principal. |
| 456 | * DatingCatwoman: She tries this with Douglas - It doesn't work very well, because ''he's'' not in love with ''her''. They ''almost'' got married in one episode. However, the only reason why he plays along is because he doesn't want to hurt her feelings. |
| 457 | * TheDreaded: Leo wants to stay away from her as much as possible, except when real villains threaten him. However fate just loves to throw the two together. In ''Series/LabRatsEliteForce'', ''vermin'' are stated to be terrified of her. |
| 458 | * DrillSergeantNasty: Perry gets to be one to Bob to toughen him up, but all she did was tell Bob a few Perry war stories. |
| 459 | * DrunkWithPower: In ''Bob Zombie'', Perry realized that she could register the Bionic Island as a country, and eventually takes ownership. When she does, she goes full-blown egomaniac, acting like a dictator than an administrator. It came to the point where she names the island after herself, puts her face on everything, and stuns (with 15,000 volts) anyone who questions her. |
| 460 | * EmbarrassingFirstName[=/=]EmbarrassingMiddleName: Her full name is Terry Cherry Perry. |
| 461 | * EnemyMine: Joins Leo and Douglas against Victor Krane. Basically, she'll help the Lab Rats only if the situation is dangerous enough. |
| 462 | * FantasticRacism: She refers to bionic people as "robots" or "robotic people". Superheroes on the other hand, she adores. |
| 463 | %%* FatBastard |
| 464 | * ForTheEvulz: Her primary motivation for tormenting the students on a daily basis. |
| 465 | * FriendlyEnemy: Perry used to hate the Davenport kids for no reason and considered them the bane of her existence. By Season 3 however, tormenting them specifically was what added meaning to her life. In fact, she admitted to missing the Lab Rats, because life just feels empty without them to make miserable. So basically, she doesn't torment them because she hates them, she just likes to hate them. |
| 466 | * FreudianExcuse: She's had several of these from her lifetime that are part of the reason she is cruel--kids would make fun of her first and middle name, and she was rejected from several things. In ''Little Brother'', it's implied that most of her problems are because of her mother. |
| 467 | %%* TheHeavy |
| 468 | * HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Depending on the plot, Perry is either an ally, antagonist, neutral or a combination of two of those. |
| 469 | * IfIWantedYouDead: Says this word per word to Donald in ''Spike Fright'', telling him "If I wanted you gone, I'd have done that a ''long'' time ago". She may be a jerk, but she's not entirely horrible. |
| 470 | * {{Jerkass}}: She bullies her students, yells at her employees, and basically does everything she can to make people miserable. By later seasons, she's at least upfront and honest about being a jerk, and she is more or less understanding when people point this out to her. |
| 471 | * JerkassHasAPoint: As much of a jerk and chronic liar Perry is, she figured out [[spoiler:Chase purposefully locked Skylar in Mission Command]], and even revealed it all to Skylar while they were trapped behind a pile of rubble. Sure, she may favor Skylar over Chase, but Perry did seem legitimately angry with Chase when revealing the truth. It's one of the only things she does right in the franchise. |
| 472 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: A side she mostly shows to Leo. Later on, she shares it with the rest of the Davenports. Sure, she's mean to them, but she genuinely enjoys being around them, and she's still on their side, even if she claims that she only cares about herself. In ''Space Elevator'', Perry claims that she was hard on the Lab Rats because she wanted to toughen them up, and claims she succeeded. |
| 473 | * JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Zig-zagged. Though she does care about the Davenports in one way or another, most of the things she does to help them is for her own selfish causes. |
| 474 | * KickTheDog: |
| 475 | ** Now that she knows the Lab Rats' secret, she stepped up her game even further by making them her bionic servants. |
| 476 | ** A minor instance where after Leo gets promoted, she gives him his orange shirt, only to find she wore it to keep herself warm. When Leo asks why she didn't use a blanket, her response is "Because I wanted to stretch your shirt". |
| 477 | * LackOfEmpathy: Admits she only cares about herself, and not about others' feelings. |
| 478 | * LaserGuidedKarma: She finally gets her comeuppance in ''Little Brother''. Happens ''again'' in ''Ultimate Tailgate Challenge'', where she attempts to steal the Davenports' tickets [[DisproportionateRetribution just because they wouldn't invite her]], and she burns them. Her punishment for this one? Game gets cancelled. |
| 479 | * LockedInARoom: Twice. First with Leo in ''Chip Switch'', then with Donald in ''Bionic Rebellion''. Keep in mind the people she is locked with DON'T like her. |
| 480 | * {{Narcissist}}: She thinks she's superior to everyone else, and straight out admits that she doesn't care about anyone but herself (though it is revealed later that's not entirely true). |
| 481 | * NominalHero: In Season 3 onward she seems to be shaping up to this. Perry is on the heroes' side because she only cares about self-interest, and just wants to have them around to torment. |
| 482 | * ObviouslyEvil: Moreso in Season 3 onward. While it's played straight in that she has a foreboding voice and comes off as selfish, callous no-good, Perry is the ''least'' malevolent antagonist involved. |
| 483 | * PercussiveMaintenance: The only method Perry employs to fix broken technology, brute force. |
| 484 | * PetTheDog: |
| 485 | ** She actually cared enough to send Leo and Douglas to the hospital after Krane and S-1's attack. At the end of ''You Posted What?!'', she admits she does care about Leo a little bit. Sure, if a real villain like Krane threatens Leo, of course she wouldn't let her favorite student to torment die. |
| 486 | ** In ''Space Colony'', she constantly entertains the idea of the Lab Rats dying, but wished Adam good luck and claims he was always her favorite. When it seemed Adam died, Perry was for once, ''genuinely'' saddened at this, showing that she ''really'' meant what she said about Adam being her favorite. She also comforted Brew when they thought Adam was dead and hugged Chase upon learning Adam had survived. |
| 487 | * RankScalesWithAsskicking: Perry is a principal, but is the toughest authority figure in school, so it's not a good idea to mess with her. She was the only person in the school capable of taking down Chase when he was in Spike mode, and she was once a female Mexican wrestler. |
| 488 | * RunningGag: No matter where the Davenports end up, Perry ends up there too. At an Alien Gladiators convention, in the middle of the ocean, and in space. Even in ''Series/LabRatsEliteForce'' she ends up making a presence. |
| 489 | * SadistTeacher: Justified since she was a tough prison guard. |
| 490 | * SecretKeeper: As of "No Going Back", but only if Donald pays her and does what she wants when asked. Doesn't work anymore. She also keeps the secret that Kaz, Oliver and Skylar are superheroes. |
| 491 | * ShellShockedVeteran: Perry fought many battles in her lifetime, even though she never fought with the military, yet it seemed to contribute to her current behavior. If ''Space Elevator'' is of any indication, her war stories scarred Bob, implying that she herself is still traumatized by her own experiences. |
| 492 | * SixthRanger: She's more or less on the Lab Rats' side now, being more involved in what they do (albeit for her own reasons). |
| 493 | * TeethClenchedTeamwork: With everyone she's allied with. |
| 494 | * TokenEvilTeammate: She's mostly this in Season 3 onward. Perry may (mostly) be on the Davenports' side, but she's the most morally bankrupt, openly adhering to classical villain traits. In the end, the only side that matters to her is "the winning side". |
| 495 | * TookALevelInBadass: In ''Spike's Got Talent'' - ''[[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu she beat down Spike.]]'' '''Case closed.''' |
| 496 | * TookALevelInKindness: Played with. Perry is still a jerk, but she has gained enough respect for the Lab Rats, because to her, they're not as weak as she believed. In the darkest of situations, she can show real kindness. |
| 497 | * TykeBomb: Her mother advised her to rule with an iron fist. |
| 498 | * WhatTheHellHero: Perry, of all people, gives this to Chase for [[spoiler:purposely locking Skylar in Mission Command]], coldly telling him he's not so different from herself by doing so. |

| 500 | |
| 501 | [[folder:Daniel Davenport]] |
| 502 | ->'''Played by:''' Pearce Joza |
| 503 | |
| 504 | * CainAndAbel: Abel to his android brother Marcus' Cain, which became evident in ''The Vanishing''. |
| 505 | * EasilyForgiven: Daniel thought that Douglas didn't want him to come to the island, but forgives him after a talk with Leo. |
| 506 | * EleventhHourRanger: Introduced in ''And Then There Were Four'' as the fourth Davenport sibling, and joins the main cast in the finale against Marcus and Giselle. |
| 507 | * LongLostRelative: Daniel is the fourth Davenport sibling. He was a baby when Donald rescued the first three kids from Douglas, but Douglas had to put him up for adoption because he couldn't raise him while on the run; Daniel only learned who his father was after he turned thirteen. |
| 508 | * PowerCopying: Daniel can replicate bionic abilities from humans ''and'' androids. However, the next set he duplicates will delete the previous set he copied. |
| 509 | * ReplacementGoldfish: Marcus sees him as such, which cements his decision to betray Douglas. |
| 510 | * StoryBreakerPower: Daniel's PowerCopying ability proved to be a story breaker because it means he will be as powerful as the next bionic person he comes in contact with. Since Marcus was the most powerful, Daniel could copy ''all'' his abilities, and [[HoistByHisOwnPetard turn them against him]] in minutes. |
| 511 | * YoungestChildWins: Daniel was the only Davenport sibling with a bionic operating system compatible with an upgrade Donald created, even though Daniel was created before Krane's bionic soldiers (their bionic operating system is the latest compared to the Lab Rats). This gets solved when the original three Lab Rats' chips get destroyed, but end up replaced with a compatible operating system. |

| 514 | [[folder:Eddy]] |
| 515 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/WillForte |
| 516 | [[quoteright:291:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/eddy.png]] |
| 517 | |
| 518 | * AIIsACrapshoot: Surprisingly averted. Eddy is a pain in the butt but for the most part glitch-free ([[TheMole or is he, really?]]), while the AI in Davenport's car in ''Speed Trapped'' only went awry because of Marcus. On the other hand, he's not always as helpful as people expect. |
| 519 | * DeadpanSnarker: Contantly, especially towards Tasha. |
| 520 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He does genuinely care for Donald and view him as a father. However, this seems to have ended in "Human Eddy", because he called Donald a has-been, and that was where Donald drew the line. |
| 521 | * EvilVersusEvil: More like {{Jerkass}} vs. {{Jerkass}} with Perry, but in the main characters' eyes, they're both despicable. In "Human Eddy", the two duke it out because there's only room for one of them. |
| 522 | * FakeGuestStar: The only reason Will Forte isn't in the opening credits is because he only provides his voice. He does get a chance to play him on screen when Donald makes a android body for him. |
| 523 | * FeelNoPain: After Perry restore his original personalty when he's in his new android body. He states he can't feel any pain so any damage they inflict on him won't work...least until Perry blasts him to pieces with a energy rifle. |
| 524 | * HateSink: Possibly the biggest in the series. He's a massive {{Jerkass}} who's hated by practically everyone that meets him and is almost always antagonistic towards the main cast. Unlike characters like [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Donald, Principal Perry, or even Douglas]], Eddy constantly subverts any chance at improving himself and only gets worse as time goes on. |
| 525 | * {{Jerkass}}: Exaggerated. Eddy is constantly rude to everyone except Donald (and even then, that might just be because Donald created him and can effectively kill him with a push of a button]]. He's even worse when he's got an android body, because that allows him to be capable of ''physically'' harming someone. Apparently, he's so much a jerk that he makes Perry more tolerable. |
| 526 | * JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: He only claimed to help Leo save the Lab Rats just to annoy him afterwards. |
| 527 | * GrandTheftMe: Thanks to a flawed pill Leo created, Eddy ends up in Tasha's body, and does everything he can to ruin her life, not to mention numerous attempts to HURT her. |
| 528 | * MissionControlIsOffItsMeds |
| 529 | * SitcomArchNemesis: Eddy and Tasha despise each other. |
| 530 | * TheSnarkKnight |
| 531 | * TokenEvilTeammate: Although all the family members have moments where they act like jerks, Eddy acts like a jerk almost every time he’s on screen. |
| 532 | * TookALevelInKindness: Temporarily. when Donald makes a body for him in the 4th season. He re-writes Eddy's personality to be kinder and more helpful. Perry, however, found this annoying and re-wired him back to his old personality, not realizing that doing this to him when he's in a human body causes a whole heap of trouble. |
| 533 | * {{Troll}}: He loves making fun of people, especially Tasha. |
| 534 | * UsedToBeASweetKid: In "Scramble the Orbs", Chase used an early version of Eddy's programming to sell as a personal assistant. This version was polite and helpful, a far cry from the unhelpful {{Jerkass}} he eventually became. |

| 562 | * BookDumb: He isn't the brightest guy in school. |
| 563 | * ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: He effectively vanished after "Scramble The Orbs". |
| 564 | * TheDragon: To Principal Perry. |
| 565 | ** DragonAscendant: Briefly in ''Not So Smart Phone'' |
| 566 | * ForTheEvulz: The main reason he torments Leo, much like Principal Perry. |
| 567 | * PsychopathicManchild: As of "Trent Gets Schooled", he is 18, legally an adult. Yet even after graduating and getting a job as the school's new gym teacher, he still acts like an immature bully. |
| 568 | * KickTheDog: Steals Leo's clothes and reducing him to a towel. |

| 571 | [[folder:Marcus Davenport]] |
| 572 | ->'''Played by:''' Creator/MateusWard |
| 573 | |
| 574 | * AllYourPowersCombined: He has super strength, super speed and super intelligence - the powers of Adam, Bree and Chase respectively. |
| 575 | * AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Douglas designed Marcus with all of the Rats' powers - ''at greater levels of effect.'' |
| 576 | * AntagonisticOffspring: Giselle brought him back to life, and Marcus wants revenge against Douglas for abandoning him and leaving him to die. |
| 577 | * ArchEnemy: To Leo. |
| 578 | * ArtificialHuman: Marcus is a super-powered android. |
| 579 | * BackFromTheDead: Giselle repaired him and got him working again. That doesn't last because Douglas blasts him with a weapon that melted him good. |
| 580 | * ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: If you've seen what he did to the Lab Rats, you'll most likely find out. |
| 581 | * ClashingCousins: Since he's Douglas's robotic son, his rivalry with Leo could be seen as this, as he's Donald's stepson. |
| 582 | * CrocodileTears: At the end of “Concert in a Can”. |
| 583 | * CuteAndPsycho: Doe-eyed and adorable, but very dangerous. |
| 584 | * TheDogBitesBack: After being rebuilt, Marcus realized that Douglas never treated him like a son, so he proceeds to go after Douglas and make him and the rest of his family suffer. |
| 585 | * TheDragon: Originally this to Douglas. Later on, Giselle plans to make him into ''her'' Dragon in place of Troy. |
| 586 | * EvilerThanThou: He was far more evil than his father was as a villain. At least Douglas had redeeming qualities, but Marcus did not. But even with him, there is a sympathetic angle to him— deep down there's a part of him that wanted to be loved, because he never had any love in his life. |
| 587 | * EvilCounterpart: Marcus seems to be this for Adam, Bree and Chase. He doesn't however, have any of Daniel's powers. |
| 588 | * EvilNephew: To Donald Davenport, and ambushed him with this fact. |
| 589 | * EtTuBrute: Feels this way after Douglas abandoned him to his death in ''Bionic Showdown''. |
| 590 | * FascinatingEyebrow: Lampshaded by Leo on a few occasions. After his destruction, Douglas says he's turning the eyebrow into a bracelet. |
| 591 | * ForTheEvulz: Came off as Marcus' motivation, until it was revealed that he was probably just programmed that way. That may be the case, but in the finale, it came across strongly that Marcus never had any love from his father which is why he became so full of hate for his father and the rest of his family. |
| 592 | * KilledOffForReal: Marcus was killed by the falling rubble of Douglas's lair, but it seems Giselle wants to bring him back. She succeeds, but he's reduced down to his exoskeleton after the final confrontation and finally melted into metallic puddle by Douglas. |
| 593 | * KnightOfCerebus: Even more so than his ''father'' (Though only after Douglas mellows). |
| 594 | * TheHeavy: In season 2, for Douglas Davenport. |
| 595 | * InferioritySuperiorityComplex: Marcus knows that Douglas only views him as a weapon instead of a son, and uses his massive ego and condescension towards Leo to try and compensate for that. |
| 596 | * IHaveNoSon: Inverted. In the series finale, Marcus renounces Douglas as his father, pointing out that Douglas doesn't see him as a son the same way he viewed Daniel. |
| 597 | * {{Jerkass}}: He betrayed the Lab Rats and threatens Leo whenever no one else is around. |
| 598 | * ManipulativeBastard: He was viewed as this to Leo, he happily used his seeming innocence to manipulate others. |
| 599 | * NeverMyFault: Marcus blames Douglas for leaving him for dead. Sure, Douglas did run away, but it was Marcus' own stubbornness and arrogance that did him in, because he made the choice to stay behind and attempt to take out the Lab Rats. |
| 600 | * RedemptionRejection: In "The Vanishing", Douglas apologizes for the way he treated Marcus, and asks for him to let him try to be a real parent to him. Marcus [[RejectedApology refuses]], preferring {{Revenge}} against everyone who wronged him instead. He does, however, seem to briefly consider it. |
| 601 | * {{Revenge}}: In the series finale, Marcus's main motivation was to get revenge on Douglas for leaving him for dead in ''Bionic Showdown''. |
| 602 | * RidiculouslyHumanRobots: Marcus looks, moves, and speaks exactly like a human. Also, he can eat and drink for no real reason. |
| 603 | * RoboticPsychopath: Is really an android built by Douglas, likewise he [[AxCrazy fits]] [[LackOfEmpathy every]] [[ManipulativeBastard trait]] [[{{Sadist}} a]] [[TheSociopath psychopath]] [[ForTheEvulz needs]]. |
| 604 | * WeAreAsMayflies: Bionic abilities in androids leads to them burning out very quickly. According to Douglas, Marcus had very little time left. Giselle fixed him so he could last longer. |
| 605 | * WellDoneSonGuy: To Douglas, who sees him as nothing more than a weapon, and Marcus has a cranky relationship with him because of this. Also seems to latch onto Giselle very quickly, calling her "Mom" until she says that they're not there yet. |
| 606 | * WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: Douglas casually states that he’ll essentially die by the time he’s sixteen, clearly not caring at all despite presumably creating and raising him. |
| 607 | * AWolfInSheepsClothing: Does this to get what he wants. |

| 610 | [[folder:Victor Krane]] |
| 611 | ->'''Played by:''' Creator/GrahamShiels |
| 612 | |
| 613 | * AbusiveParents: He mind-controls his own bionic children and forces them to be living weapons, before eventually programming all of them to self-destruct upon his death. |
| 614 | * ArchEnemy: |
| 615 | ** To the Lab Rats as a whole, being their most powerful and dangerous adversary. |
| 616 | ** To Donald and Douglas, following the latter's HeelFaceTurn. Krane turns out to be such a massive threat that the two brothers finally team up in order to take him down. [[spoiler:It's worth noting that when Krane reappears in season 4, Donald's reaction is not one of fear or panic; it's pure '''hate'''.]] |
| 617 | --> '''Donald:''' (''bitterly'') '''[[SayMyName KRANE]].''' |
| 618 | * AxCrazy: His stoicism makes it less obvious, but the guy clearly loves destruction. |
| 619 | * BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: He experimented on Douglas' dog, Otis, programming the pooch to attack its owner. |
| 620 | * BaldOfEvil: He's the BigBad of the series, and his head is as shiny as a chrome plate. |
| 621 | * BeardOfEvil: In his first appearance, he's shaved it off by his second, but its back by "You Posted What". |
| 622 | * BigBad: Krane is the main antagonist of the series. He's Douglas' benefactor and by far the most physically and financially powerful villain in the series. Even after his death, his creation of a bionic army leads directly to the events of season 4. [[spoiler:And ''even then'', he returns in the middle of season 4, where it's revealed that he survived and has been biding his time to enact even more destructive plan, solidifying him as the series' one true Big Bad.]] |
| 623 | * CardCarryingVillain: He does nothing to hide any of his evil actions. |
| 624 | * TheComicallySerious: Sometimes his deadly serious, "no nonsense mastermind" attitude can be viewed as somewhat humorous, especially in some of his interactions with Douglas. |
| 625 | * CutLexLuthorACheck: Despite his intelligence, this guy has ''never'' won anything. |
| 626 | * CorruptCorporateExecutive: Paid Douglas a huge sum of money so he could become bionic and has no problem injuring the Lab Rats or having them brainwashed and hurting other people. |
| 627 | * CrazyPrepared: |
| 628 | ** Krane knew Douglas would go into hiding, so after Douglas turned on him, Krane tampered with the bionics of Douglas's pet dog Otis, so that Otis could track down Douglas and eliminate him. Even if Krane is gone, Otis still had Krane's directive. |
| 629 | ** Krane also installed a doomsday virus when he upgraded the Triton App, so that if something happens to him the virus would trigger after a certain period of time and cause the soldiers to self-destruct. Doing so would prevent anyone else from controlling them. |
| 630 | * DeadMansSwitch: Of a sort. He programs his bionic army to self-destruct in the event of his own death. |
| 631 | * DiabolicalMastermind: He absorbs the characteristics of a realistic evil mastermind. From his obsession of destruction, and taking over, down to his constantly serious personality. |
| 632 | * DrunkOnPower: The more bionics Douglas installs in him, the more Krane's true, megalomaniacal self begins to show, with his plans growing in scope. |
| 633 | * EnergyAbsorption: He can absorb energy from anything. |
| 634 | * EvilCounterpart: To Donald Davenport. They're both wealthy egomaniacs who experiment with bionic technology, and neither are very good parents. However, Donald genuinely cares about his kids deep down and much of his treatment of them is out of a misguided desire to protect them. Likewise, Donald is (usually) ethical with his experiments, many of which are conducted to benefit humanity, and still treats the Lab Rats like actual people. Krane, on the other hand, doesn't give a damn about his kids (to the point of being willing to kill them if he dies), has no limits as to how far his experiments go as long as he gains more power, and all of his experiments are done solely for his own benefit. |
| 635 | * EvilGenius: An ingenious billionaire and scientist bent on world domination. He even creates software that would take even Douglas months to decrypt. |
| 636 | * EvilIsBigger: He's much taller than Douglas, likewise he's more evil as well. |
| 637 | * EvilIsPetty: Krane is an egomaniac with a bid for world domination, but he went out of his way to be a jerk to Douglas, such as not going on vacation to the Florida Keys, even though he said he would. He would also threaten to kill Douglas if Douglas kept doing impressions of him at dinner parties. |
| 638 | * EvilerThanThou: He's this to Douglas, and decides that Douglas's plan is too weak. Even back when Douglas was still an antagonist, Krane made him look like a saint compared to himself. |
| 639 | * EvilWearsBlack: Almost always sports a black trenchcoat. |
| 640 | * FacialHorror: The right side of his face has some scars due to implanting some bionics into his body. |
| 641 | * FauxAffablyEvil: Downplayed. He occasionally speaks in a polite and cordial manner, but will drop it pretty much immediately when in battle. |
| 642 | * GreaterScopeVillain: Victor Krane is said to be the ultimate, "all around bad guy" Douglas has ever known. Krane is Douglas's secret benefactor ever since the latter got kicked out of Davenport Industries. Krane gave Douglas a lot of money to continue his evil plans, provided Douglas can give Krane his bionic research. When he revealed the Lab Rats' secret, he's indirectly responsible for Giselle becoming obsessed with destroying the Lab Rats and bionic soldiers. |
| 643 | * ItsAllAboutMe: To frightening levels, Krane's egomania is to the point he rigged all his soldiers so they would die, if something happened to him. Him taking on the heroes is partially down to being unable to except anyone else having powers similar to his, outside of his own control. |
| 644 | * KickTheDog: Too many examples to count, but here's some notable ones: |
| 645 | ** Attempting to burn Leo and Tasha alive in order to lure the Lab Rats out of hiding. |
| 646 | ** Having S-1 crush Leo's arm with a concrete beam, to the point it had to be completely rebuilt with bionics. |
| 647 | ** Programming his bionic army to self-destruct after his death. |
| 648 | ** An almost literal example when he programs Douglas' dog, Otis, to kill him. |
| 649 | * KnightOfCerebus: Frighteningly serious with deadly powers and is considered EvilerThanThou when compared to Douglas. |
| 650 | * LackOfEmpathy: Complete and utter lack that is, the rights and even lives of anyone but Krane, is not even a blip on his radar. Douglas, of all people, is shocked at how far Krane goes. |
| 651 | * MadScientist: Obviously. He studies Douglas' bionic tech in order to further en chance himself and create his own army. |
| 652 | * MindOverMatter: One of his powers, he tries to use it to strangle Douglas. |
| 653 | * MisanthropeSupreme: His plan is to replace all humans in the world with bionic humans. |
| 654 | * MysteriousPast: Nothing is known about Krane's past before working with Douglas, other than that he was incredibly rich. |
| 655 | * {{Narcissist}}: |
| 656 | ** Krane is absolutely ''in love'' with himself and the powers his bionics give him. He doesn't care about anyone but himself, to the point of betraying his closest ally and trying to kill the man's family. |
| 657 | ** PlayedForHorror at the end of season 3. Like many narcissists in real life, he views his "children" as mere extensions of himself. When he [[spoiler:seemingly]] dies, it's revealed that he programmed all of his bionic soldiers to self-destruct after his death. |
| 658 | * NoNonsenseNemesis: Comparing him to Douglas, he's always take his job seriously. |
| 659 | * NoodleIncident: |
| 660 | ** Douglas claims that he and Krane once went as [[Creator/BradPitt Brad]] and [[Creator/AngelinaJolie Angelina]] for Halloween. Considering how [[KnightOfCerebus dark]] and [[TheSociopath evil]] Krane is and that Douglas [[UnreliableNarrator isn't exactly trustworthy]], it's unclear if this actually happened. |
| 661 | ** Douglas also says that Krane used to electrocute him when they worked together, but never explains why. |
| 662 | * NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler:Turns out Krane wasn't killed off--he survived being shot into the atmosphere, but just barely. A MadScientist named Dr. Gao found him and made him a DarkLordOnLifeSupport. However, that didn't last because the Lab Rats fired a missile at his ship in space, which killed him off for good.]] |
| 663 | * OffingTheOffspring: Programs all of his kids to die if he does. |
| 664 | * OmnicidalManiac: He and Dr. Gao built a large rocket that would wipe out all life on Earth so that they can populate it with their new bionic soldiers. |
| 665 | * PsychicStrangle: Apparently, this is his commonly-used tactic. |
| 666 | * {{Sadist}}: Practically every episode he appears in involves him trying to torture someone, usually to death. |
| 667 | * ShockAndAwe: Douglas gave him the power to shoot electricity from his hands. |
| 668 | * TheStoic: He's not really the joking type which makes him contrast drastically with Douglas whenever they interact. When he interacts with Douglas during ''You Posted What?!?'', he's more FauxAffablyEvil. |
| 669 | * TheSocialDarwinist: By "Rise of The Super Soldiers" Krane now believes being Bionic makes you superior to normal people, and plans to create a bionic empire with himself as the dictator. |
| 670 | * TheSociopath: His lack of empathy and disregard for human life disgusts Douglas. He possesses no sympathy, guilt or remorse and will gladly murder anyone who gets in his way. |
| 671 | * SuperStrength: Douglas empowered him with Super strength. |
| 672 | * TakeOverTheWorld: His ultimate goal is to rule a world filled with bionic soldiers. |
| 673 | * TakingYouWithMe: He reprogrammed the Triton App, so that if something happened to him, after a while all his Bionic soldiers would die also. However, since the Lab Rats also had the Triton App, that means he takes his enemies with him too. |
| 674 | * VillainousLegacy: Krane may have been gone after ''Rise Of The Secret Soldiers'', but his legacy took root and was still a threat to the heroes: |
| 675 | ** In one instance, Chase told Sebastian, who was one of Krane's lead soldiers, about him and it led Sebastian to continue the legacy his "father" started--by wanting to eliminate Donald Davenport, bend the bionic soldiers to his will with lies about Davenport, and rule over humanity. |
| 676 | ** It is discovered that sometime after Douglas betrayed him, Krane turned Otis, Douglas's long-lost dog, into his personal assassin by encoding a directive to eliminate his owner. Unlike the Triton App, this directive would not be affected by Krane's supposed death. |
| 677 | ** If Krane got killed, he upgraded the Triton App so that it would give off a doomsday virus that would take effect after months in the event he got killed. |
| 678 | * WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: Implanting himself with more bionics has driven him completely insane. |
| 679 | [[/folder]] |
| 680 | |
| 681 | [[folder:Giselle Vickers]] |
| 682 | |
| 683 | * BigBad: For Season 4. She wants to create an army of androids to eliminate all bionic superhumans. Her androids now lie in pieces, but now she wants to repair and rebuild Marcus and add his super intelligence to all her androids. |
| 684 | * BigNo: Screams this after she accidentally protrudes her own whip around herself, leading to her falling apart. |
| 685 | * CorruptCorporateExecutive: Was in the film industry and the robotics industry. She likewise is unrealistically ruthless in both areas. |
| 686 | * DarkActionGirl: Is pretty good in a fight. |
| 687 | * DirtyCoward: Sure she's high and mighty when she's in control, but just watch her crumble when she looses the upper hand. |
| 688 | * DistaffCounterpart: She's this to Douglas (back when he was evil). |
| 689 | * EvilFormerFriend: Also an evil former ''Girlfriend'' to Douglas. Apparently she became evil long after Douglas did. |
| 690 | * EvilGenius: Even Douglas admits that her androids are sophisticated beyond what he is capable of, which greatly angers him. |
| 691 | * FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: Although offscreen, it's heavily implied she was sliced from the spine up. |
| 692 | * FauxAffablyEvil: Happy to turn on the charm, until she gets what she wants. |
| 693 | * ForTheEvulz: After she succeeds in locking up the Lab Rats and declares that the magnetic waves are powerful enough to melt their bionic chips claiming that once their bionics are gone that they will finally be rid of bionic humans. Chase rebuffs by asking that if her Androids are so much better than bionics than why does she need to destroy their chips. Giselle claims she doesn't, she just wants to watch them suffer a slow and painful death. |
| 694 | * GenreBlind: Really shouldn't have told Troy he was outdated, and going to be replaced by her new brand of androids. |
| 695 | * {{Greed}}: Her main motivation for wanting to wipe out the bionic heroes? So that her androids don't have any competition. |
| 696 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: She ends up meeting her end when she accidentally retracts her whip around herself presumably slicing her in half. |
| 697 | * KilledOffscreen: We never actually see her death. |
| 698 | * LackOfEmpathy: Concepts such as empathy, don't even seem to register with her. The only time she shows any care for another person, its purely manipulative. |
| 699 | * LightningLash In her second appearance she's seen using an electric whip as her primary weapon. It's sharp and powerful enough to smash cameras and cut through steel. |
| 700 | * OlderThanTheyLook: Is about Douglas's age, but could pass for being younger. |
| 701 | * PetTheDog: Though PragmaticVillainy may be in effect, after the bionic students, along with the Lab Rats escape the room they were locked in due to Leo. They confront Giselle when Adam, Bree and Chase tell them to leave she doesn't even attempt to stop them claiming that Adam, Bree and Chase are the ones who keep getting in her way. |
| 702 | * PragmaticVillainy: Giselle doesn't bother trying to stop the bionic soldiers from escaping after the Lab Rats tell them to escape, deciding they're not of any interest to her. |
| 703 | * {{Pride}}: Is pretty arrogant, she for instance considers her android technology superior to bionics, despite admitting to failing to figure out Chase's abilities. |
| 704 | * SmugSnake: Really as dangerous as she is, she's a bit to full of herself for her own good. |
| 705 | * TheSociopath: Like Victor Krane, she has no regard for human life and will gladly murder anyone who gets in her way. |

| 709 | ->'''Played by:''' Leo Howard |
| 710 | |
| 711 | * AIIsACrapshoot: Because Giselle mistreated him he decides to turn on her and eliminate ALL humans. |
| 712 | * TheDragon: To Giselle. Out of all the Androids he appears to be the only one that's completely sentient and is her right hand. |
| 713 | * DragonAscendant: Becomes this in the climax of Bionic Action Hero. |
| 714 | * EvilerThanThou: Invokes this after betraying Giselle by stating that he won't just wipe out bionic humans, but all humans. |
| 715 | * FauxAffablyEvil: Just like his creator, he happily turns on the charm when he wants something. |
| 716 | * LogicalWeakness: Due to being made of metal, he is venerable to Chase's Magnetism App. |
| 717 | * KillAllHumans: What he graduates to in the end, sick of Giselle's mistreatment he plans to take over the android army and exterminate all the humans. |
| 718 | * KillItWithWater: Unlike Giselle's later generation robots, Troy is not waterproof. This is how Bree destroys him. |
| 719 | * MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: Was completely loyal to Giselle, until she revealed her plans to scrap him. |
| 720 | * RoboticPsychopath |
| 721 | * SuperStrength |
| 722 | * TheStarscream: Near the end of the episode he turns on Giselle in retaliation for her mistreatment towards him and plan to replace him once she obtained her updated Android army. He blasts her, and declares that he will become the new leader of the Android army. |

| 725 | [[folder:Doctor Gao]] |
| 726 | ->'''Played by:''' Creator/PingWu |
| 727 | * BigBad: Of Space Colony. He's the one who rescued Krane, saved his life by giving a face plate to breath through and came up with the plan to use the injected colonists to rule the world, after first wiping out all life on it. |
| 728 | * BigBadDuumvirate: He's Krane's new partner, and he assisted him in another attempt to create a bionic army, and they agreed to start anew by wiping out all life on Earth. However, he's the only one of the two to survive. |
| 729 | * EvilerThanThou: When asked by Bree why he's helping a madman like Krane, he responds by claiming that who's to say he's not madder than Krane. This might not be the case though, because when dealing with annoying people like Perry, he's a sniveling coward compared to Krane. |
| 730 | * KillAllHumans: Him and Krane planned to detonate a missile onto the Earth which would cause a nuclear winter that would take out all life. Then planned to repopulate it with their new bionic army made from the captured colonists. |
| 731 | * MadScientist: Creating missiles to take out humanity and injecting serums into innocent people to turn them into bionic slaves. It's pretty obvious why he qualifies. |

| 735 | [[folder:Roman and Riker]] |
| 736 | ->'''Played by:''' Creator/BoobooStewart (Roman), Creator/RyanPotter (Riker) |
| 737 | * {{Revenge}}: They want to get revenge on Kaz and Oliver, then eliminate every superhero in the world, because their father lost his powers (in order to save his life). They believe that a life without superpowers is a FateWorseThanDeath. |
| 738 | * SiblingTeam: The two are brothers. |
| 739 | * SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: To Wallace and Clyde, the main villains of Season 1 in ''Mighty Med''. Like Wallace and Clyde, they are supervillains who are brothers seeking to destroy superheroes in revenge. Unlike them though, they're played completely serious. |
| 740 | * UngratefulBastard: ''Mighty Med'' saved their father's life but at the necessary removal of his powers which they feel is an insult to him. So they turn to villainy in order to "avenge" him, and they have a bone to pick with Kaz and Oliver (since the two used to work there). |
| 741 | * VoluntaryShapeshifting: They are shapeshifters who can manipulate their molecular structure to take any form, a person, a thing, or even a deathly dust cloud. |

| 743 | |
| 744 | [[folder:Rodissiius]] |
| 745 | ->'''Played by:''' Creator/EricSteinberg |
| 746 | * AbusiveParent: Rodissiius is shown to be quite horrible to his sons, and when they fail, he won't give them anymore chances. |
| 747 | * BigBad: Of Season 1 in ''Elite Force''. Rodissiius wants revenge on Kaz and Oliver for letting him live [[FateWorseThanDeath a life without superpowers]] instead of letting him die a superhero. He wants to destroy not only them, but every superhero in existence. |
| 748 | * CreateYourOwnVillain: Because Kaz and Oliver had to save his life by sacrificing his powers, that deed is the reason he became evil. |
| 749 | * EvilCounterpart: Incidentally, of Skylar Storm when she lost her powers. Like Skylar, he couldn't bear an existence without his superpowers, and he did want to seek revenge against those who took away his powers. However, his solution is to kill ''every'' superhero in existence. |
| 750 | * FallenHero: Was once a fighter for truth and justice, but became a vengeful supervillain after Kaz and Oliver sacrificed his powers to save his life. |
| 751 | * ShadowArchetype: Of Skylar, as both were superheroes went through the experience of losing their powers. This loss made them feel like they thought made them special, and living a shameful life amongst the superhero community caused even more grief. Like Skylar, he wanted revenge against those who took away his powers. However, a key difference is that Skylar remained a hero because she at least learned to adapt and had hope in her friends (which paid off in the end). Rodissiius on the on the other hand, let his grief consume him with revenge and envy against those who have what he lost. He is what Skylar would have become if she didn't cope with her loss and gave in to her despair when she lost her powers. |
| 752 | * UngratefulBastard: Probably the epitome. He wants to commit superhero genocide because Kaz and Oliver took away his superpowers, despite that if they didn't he would have surely died. If his sons' words were of any indication, he would've been more grateful if they let him die a superhero's death than live in a shameful position as a Normo. |

| 757 | * LastEpisodeNewCharacter: They are introduced in the last episode of the Lab Rats/Mighty Med franchise. |
| 758 | * NothingIsScarier: We never see what they look like in human form. All we know is that they are not on the side of good. |

| 762 | !Bionic Soldiers |
| 763 | [[folder:In General]] |
| 764 | |
| 765 | * AmnesiacsAreInnocent: All the soldiers were blank slates after being free from the Triton App, but not only do they not remember anything they did while controlled by the Triton App, they didn't even have lives before the Triton App woke them. Unfortunately, assuming this proved to be a mistake for Chase when it came to Sebastian, who turned evil after the former told him about Krane and what happened. When it turned out S-1 survived and came to the island, Chase did not want to take any chances with this trope, remembering what happened with Sebastian. However, Chase ends up being proven wrong ''again'' when it turns out she is scared and really did need help. |
| 766 | * BrainwashedAndCrazy: They were all mind-controlled by the Triton App, and did Victor Krane's bidding without even a thought. Once they are free from the Triton App, they have no memory of ANYTHING, period. |
| 767 | * DecapitatedArmy: Once Krane is shot in the sky, the soldiers all cease to function without the Triton App controller and drop like flies. |
| 768 | * ForcedIntoEvil: They never experienced real life before the Triton App. Under the Triton App, they were forced to do evil things like steal government property and threaten to eliminate humankind. |
| 769 | * LaserGuidedAmnesia: When they were all liberated from the Triton App, they lost their memories of Krane. However, when Sebastian found out about what happened to their creator, most of them rebelled, not understanding why their creator had to be taken out. After much explanation, they accepted the truth about Krane. |
| 770 | * MassiveNumberedSiblings: There are at least a hundred of them, and they're brothers and sisters to each other. |
| 771 | * MauveShirt: After joining the Davenport Bionic Academy, all of them are recurring background characters, but only a handful of them have characterization limited to the episode they appear in, namely Lexi, Tank and Kate. |
| 772 | * RedshirtArmy: They get knocked out with zero effort when Giselle's one android comes. This is quite justified as most of them are still in training. |
| 773 | * SecretKeeper: While the public believes that Donald is the Lab Rats' father, the bionic soldiers are only beings aware that Douglas is the Lab Rats' real father, because Donald told them in the process of explaining who Krane is to them. |
| 774 | * SlaveMooks: While serving Victor Krane, they were all mindless slaves who only did what they did because of Douglas's Triton App. |
| 775 | * SuperSoldier: They are genetically engineered with various bionic abilities. Douglas later discovered they have hidden abilities. |
| 776 | * WhyAmITicking: Douglas ran a scan on S-1's chip and discovered that Krane installed a doomsday virus in their Triton Apps. If the soldiers are without their controller for six months, they will self-destruct. |
| 777 | * YouAreNumberSix: All the solders had numbers instead of names (S-1, S-3, S-12, etc). Upon entering the Davenport Bionic Academy, they had to discard their soldier numbers and adopt names to symbolize that they are no longer soldiers. About 40 percent of them have a Donald-based name, but the rest of them have different names. |

| 780 | [[folder:Taylor/S-1]] |
| 781 | ->'''Played by:''' Ashley Argota |
| 782 | |
| 783 | * AmnesiacDissonance: Once Taylor regained her free will, she started having flashbacks from her time with Victor Krane, and learned who she was back then. Unlike Sebastian, she doesn't revert back to evil, because her memories of Krane were traumatizing. |
| 784 | * ArchEnemy: To Leo. In ''One of Us'', they do become friends. |
| 785 | * BrokenBird: In truth, S-1 is nothing more than an innocent, naive teenage girl whom Krane tortured and experimented on and forced her to do evil via the Triton App. After Leo defeated her and the Triton App was deactivated, S-1 experienced painful flashbacks about Krane due to a glitch, which left her scared and vulnerable with no one to turn to, until she ran into her former enemies. |
| 786 | * CartesianKarma: Although not intentional on Leo's part, Taylor permanently loses her eyesight due to Leo using his bionic arm to push her to her limit. Even though she was controlled by the Triton App, she ''did'' still cause Leo to permanently lose his arm and get bionics, and it did have some sort of mental scar on Leo. In a way, Taylor kind of deserved it, but not in the present. |
| 787 | * CoDragons: Implied to have been this with Sebastian. However, she turns good while Sebastian turns evil. |
| 788 | * DarkActionGirl: Is pretty tough in a fight, and was Krane's lieutenant. |
| 789 | * TheDragon: To Krane, and she was chosen as his lead soldier. |
| 790 | * DistaffCounterpart: To Marcus. |
| 791 | * TheFarmerAndTheViper: Chase and the others were reluctant to help S-1, because was Krane's lead soldier and the deadliest, thus could turn on them like Sebastian did under that same logic. However, this trope ends up being averted because she knew how evil Krane was, and such trauma was what caused her to seek the Davenports' help. In the end, she didn't let her past nature an evil bionic soldier influence her and ended up staying good. |
| 792 | * HeelFaceTurn: After Krane's defeat, she, like the other soldiers, lost her memory and she woke up in a field. A family took her in but freaked out when she was revealed to be bionic. So she made her way to the bionic island in hopes they could help her, and was truly scared and alone. After the heroes find out about and thwart Krane's contingency plan from her, they decide to give her a second chance with the others. Unlike her brother Sebastian, she seems to accept that Krane was a sociopath, presumably down to actually seeing him (through painful flashbacks) rather than hearing second hand. |
| 793 | * {{Irony}}: S-1 permanently injured Leo's arm in ''You Posted What?!?'', forcing Douglas to give Leo a bionic right arm. Leo's bionic arm ended up causing ''her'' permanent damage to her eyesight. |
| 794 | * MookLieutenant: Despite being Krane's lead soldier, S-1 never was anything more than another slave to him. |
| 795 | * SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: She's basically a replacement for Marcus--having all the Lab Rats' abilities, being the BigBad's lapdog, and mostly targets Leo. |
| 796 | * UncertainDoom: Last she's seen, Leo uses his energy transference ability, and blasts her in the sky. It remains unclear whether she survived, but Leo thinks he finished her. However ''One of Us'' reveals she survived, and came off a scared girl with no memory of what happened, and painful flashbacks of Victor Krane. [[spoiler:Her last appearance shows her to be blinded by an injury in training and, despite it seeming like she will continue to improve her skills, she is never seen again.]] |

| 800 | ->'''Played by:''' Cole Ewing |
| 801 | |
| 802 | * AmnesiacDissonance: Sebastian wanted to know about his last battle with Chase, which led Chase to tell Sebastian about Krane and his evil plan. However, he started putting pieces together and figured out Krane's agenda, and he sought to continue what Krane's original agenda of taking over the world. |
| 803 | * ArcVillain: From ''Unauthorized Mission'' until ''Bionic Rebellion''. |
| 804 | * AvengingTheVillain: After he finds out the Lab Rats have supposedly killed his father Krane, he decides to follow in Krane's footsteps and kill them. Sadly he would never come to understand how terrible Krane was. |
| 805 | * AntiVillain: If he would have listened to reason, he would understand that his father was not a good guy under any circumstances. Too bad he became filled with vengence. |
| 806 | * BrainwashedAndCrazy: Sebastian was a bionic soldier who was controlled by Krane's Triton App. After the Triton App deactivated, he did not remember ever fighting Chase. |
| 807 | * BrokenPedestal: To Chase, Sebastian was one of the best students who had great potential to be a hero. However, Sebastian betrayed him, after everything he did to keep him safe. Even the other soldiers accept that what Sebastian did was wrong. |
| 808 | * DragonAscendant: He was the leader of Victor Krane's bionic soldiers in ''Rise of The Secret Soldiers''. In ''Bionic Rebellion'', he decides to avenge Krane's death and continue his evil plans. |
| 809 | * EvilCounterpart: Is Chase's, they both possess a variety of abilities, both serve as leader for their group, both are very intelligent and both are incredibly loyal to their fathers. However as Sebastian's father is Victor Krane, this creates a problem as he refuses to believe that Krane was far from a father. |
| 810 | * FaceHeelTurn: At the end of ''Unauthorized Mission'', Chase tells him about Victor Krane and his agenda. Unfortunately, he didn't take it well, and decided to betray him by avenging Krane and taking out Davenport. |
| 811 | * FallenHero: Starts out as a genuine hero and top bionic student, but after finding out about Krane's death, it all ends. |
| 812 | * TheFarmerAndTheViper: Sebastian was one of Krane's lead soldiers who was a tool for evil. After being released from the Triton App he was fairly stable, and the Davenports tried to train him to be a hero, even though he was a jerk. When Chase revealed his origins, Sebastian went back to being evil and turned on Davenport, despite all the good he tried to do for him, and despite telling him how evil Krane was. |
| 813 | * JerkassToOne: Before his FaceHeelTurn, he butted heads with Chase a lot because of Chase's authority, but he's a NiceGuy to everybody else. |
| 814 | * ManipulativeBastard: While pretending to be good, he was able to use charm and his friendship to manipulate the others, especially Chase into furthering his plan. |
| 815 | * NiceGuy: At first, Sebastian is friendly caring and supportive, especially towards his bionic siblings unfortunately it doesn't last. In the end, he tried to control them like Krane did. In any case though, he's a colossal jerk to Chase because he's a fun-killer. |
| 816 | * {{Revenge}}: Tries to kill Donald, in response to the others killing Krane. |
| 817 | * TragicVillain: He was definitely a good guy at first, and he would have stayed as one, if only he knew that his father was an irredeemable madman, who tried to enslave the world (and blow them up if he died). Though everyone tried to reason with him, it didn't work. |
| 818 | * TheRival: He and Chase do not get along at all. |
| 819 | * SanitySlippage: Its clear that learning the truth didn't bode well for his sanity. He goes from a genuinely nice guy, to a revenge obsessed megalomaniac. |
| 820 | * TheSocialDarwinist: Adopts Krane's philosophy that Bionic beings are superior. |
