I think it’s hilarious just how many abilities/apps Chase has in his roster, mostly ‘cause there’s a lot of them that just leave me wondering why you’d give that to him?

Going through the wiki, it's like almost anything that was needed for plot got thrown onto Chase. And there are a few of them that I think would’ve been better suited for Adam or Bree, considering the skill sets

Imagine if Adam had magnetism instead, and it overlapped with his blastwave ability as an EMP, making the umbrella ability electro-magnetism

Bree’s abilities are about stealth and scouting, so give her the fingerprint and facial recognition to compliment her vocal manipulation

And for things you don’t have to take from Chase, but just give all 3 of them: the senses to a minor degree. Give Bree the hearing for eavesdropping, give Adam the sight for accuracy, while Chase has both at max

‘Cause the thing is, doing this doesn’t devalue Chase at all. His intelligence, and everything that comes with that, makes him immensely valuable to the team

They were designed as a unit of weapons, so I can’t help but think of their abilities divided as such

Adam’s not the muscle, he’s the combatant. Defense and offense are his specialty, and his passives give him the ability to incapacitate at close and long range

Bree isn’t the hustle, she’s the recon. She can get in and out of secure locations undetected with the utmost efficiency and safely bring the intel home

Chase is more than the brains, he’s the support. He can process the gathered information and strategize accordingly. His ability to link with and override his siblings’ bionics can be a game changer in dire situations and makes him versatile

Idk, I just love power dynamics

#Lab Rats #Adam Davenport #Chase Davenport #Bree Davenport #None of this is like 100% or anything I'm just brainstorming rn #I also kinda wanna explore/revise the purpose of the Commando/Triton apps but this is already kinda long #So I guess ask me about that if anyone's interested? I'll probably talk about it eventually 'cause y'know. I can't shut up #ALSO it's not said in the main post but I still think Chase should keep the force field and laser bo. Those fall in line with support #As well as just personal viability #And the molecular kinesis. It overlaps with the mind angle and it's pretty powerful #It really felt like the writers didn't have any faith in Chase though so they just gave him every convenient ''app'' they could think of #Like they didn't find him useful otherwise #Which I guess tracks since half of his plots are just him trying to prove himself #As if he needed to #I think that might be why he wasn't my favorite. They overcompensated and gave him so much #That Adam and Bree felt underutilized in the bionic department #They really were just Hustle and Muscle 90% of the time #While Chase is the living embodiment of the Matrix for some reason
