==InformationProfile=====Description===Caucasian, medium height and an athletic build. Dark hair with a red streak in it that he’s had since birth. Dan’s dress has a modern, urban daredevil flair to it. Sporting the coolest sneakers, gloves and pads, Dan looks like he could ride any bike, board or set of skis right up a wall if you asked him to. Dan is “the Talent” portion of the [[Awesome Ones]]. Aim a camera at this kid, give him a task and he’s sure to deliver a “like”-worthy performance. Dan is athletic, outgoing, inclusive and supportive— a natural leader, even though he doesn’t think of himself as one. Over the course of his brief and charmed life, Dan has made lots of friends, but is fiercely loyal to his two besties, [[Wynton Styles]] and [[Lia Venegas]]. They have been through a lot together and even when they’ve had disagreements, no one ever goes home mad. It’s a rule with Dan: “The sun doesn’t go down until we work it out.” That’s how you make lifelong friendships. A never-say-die, charismatic force of nature, Dan could hang out with any group of kids but sticks with the crew that shares his passion for making videos and sharing them with the world. Life’s a game to Dan, but he doesn’t play to win, he plays to play. Dan accepts any challenge head on, because he wants to know what he’s capable of. <ref>[https://bakugan.com/en/characters McQ's Bakugan.com entry]</ref>
