History YMMV / DanielX

** [[GreaterScopeVillain Zeboul]], known near-exclusively as "Number 1"/The Prayer, is the ultimate villain behind every bad occurrence in the franchise. Number 1 is an ancient GodOfEvil who uses his influence to drive entire civilizations into evil, and is responsible for the depravity of such men as UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler and UsefulNotes/CharlesManson. Behind every major member on "The List," from setting up special shoots for Number 5's TV butcher shows to enabling Number 6 to wipe out Daniel's homeworld, Number 1 solidified himself as Daniel's ArchEnemy by murdering the boy's parents and trying to kill him when he was a toddler. Harnessing his power from the evil others do, Number 1 becomes so tired of the Milky Way galaxy's innate goodness that he attempts to wipe out its billions of lifeforms just to "tip the scales" back in the favor of evil-doers. Number 1 was an utterly sadistic monster of an alien, hell-bent on destroying everything good in the universe just to satisfy his love for all things evil.
** ''The Dangerous Days of Daniel X'': [[BigBad Ergent Seth]], Number 6 on The List, is a powerful criminal who plans on eventually [[KillAllHumans killing off the human race]]. In the meantime, Seth [[WouldHurtAChild abducts dozens of kids at a time and uses them as slaves and drug-runners]]. Learning Daniel, an Alien Hunter, is on the prowl, Seth begins tormenting him in an attempt to make him leave, then disguises himself as a teenage girl and seduces him to learn how dangerous he is. Deciding Daniel can't stop him, Seth lethally wounds and captures him, then takes him to Daniel's home world, where Seth taunts him about the fact that he has wiped out most of the population. Finding an underground city full of surviving citizens, Seth begins slaughtering them before Daniel challenges him to a duel. Accepting the challenge, Seth orders his child slaves to observe the fight, [[HumanShield just so they would be in his crosshairs]] if he needed leverage. A genocidal child-slaver, Ergent Seth showed that the top 10 villains on The List were far more dangerous and evil than Daniel first believed.
** ''Watch the Skies'': [[BigBad Number Five]] on The List, also his only known name, is an "entertainment" director. Showing up on planets with lesser tech than his, Five would mind-control isolated towns into performing entertaining acts, kill them in sadistic ways, then [[SnuffFilm sell footage of these acts]] to illegal alien networks. Arriving on Earth, Five murders dozens of people through vaporization and PsychicAssistedSuicide, [[BadBoss including his own henchmen]] for unintentional insults, filming all the way. When his master plan, to use clones of himself to increase his filming to a galaxy-wide scale, is thwarted by Daniel X, Five holds his girlfriend hostage and tries to kill Daniel. Surviving his near-death at Daniel's hands, Five plans on infecting all technology on Earth and cause worldwide chaos, while also calling in reinforcements to help conquer the planet. Committing his atrocities for cheap entertainment, Number Five was an egomaniacal and sadistic monster who treated everyone as props for his "show."
** ''Demons and Druids'': [[BigBad Phosphorius Beta]], Number 3 on The List, has used time portals to hold civilizations [[HistoricalRapSheet throughout history]] in a grip of fear, wiping out thousands in the process. Terrorizing London, England in the present as an "[[PlayingWithFire arsonist]]", Beta regularly burns down entire blocks, engulfing oil refineries, schools, and day cares. Amassing a small army by turning them into extensions of himself, Beta uses them to collect as much organic material as possible, then ships it off to his home world, where it is used as "fast food". While trying to kill Daniel X and his friends, Beta reveals he plans to burn down London, then move on to the rest of the world until all that's left is a husk. A sadistic {{pyromaniac}}, Beta shows that his spot on The List was rightfully earned.

* CanonSue: A lot of revies of the book accuse Daniel of being one.

* CanonSue: Daniel, Daniel, ''Daniel''. In the first few chapters of the ''first book'' he throws police off of his trail for a bit when they show up to his place trying to arrest him for truancy. Cue him conjuring images of his parents to say that he's a ''child prodigy'' instead of just saying he's homeschooled. He can also cook gourmet meals, has GameBreaker powers (he can create pretty much anything he wants), and can mouth off to pretty much anyone without consequence.
