Character History
Villains
Danny, a Vietnam veteran, is living in a shantytown. Thompson and Meredith approach him claiming to be Veteran Administration officials. Danny isn't fooled and uses his metal mimicry to transform his right hand into metal and stun Thompson with a single blow. Meredith heats his metal hand, causing him distraction if not pain, and she then renders him unconscious with Thompson's taser. Danny is subsequently taken to Cell 9 for confinement.
Graphic Novel:Partners
Danny is identified as one of the Level 5 escapees. He goes to to the home of his ex-wife and son William. Noah and Meredith go to recapture him and Noah takes William as a hostage to force Danny's surrender. Meredith distracts him by using a makeshift Molotov cocktail to burn his transformed right arm. Noah shoots Danny in his metallic right arm repeatedly, breaking his grip and knocking him to the ground. Afterward, the partners discover that Danny beat his ex-wife to death, allegedly for taking his son, home, and money away from him. He is returned to Primatech.
