Dexter is the younger brother of Dee Dee. He is a boy genius and is fully devoted to science, but he is also very arrogant and takes great pride in his intelligence. In the series, he has a lab behind his bookshelf, where he performs experiments and creates inventions, which usually leads to trouble for him and his surroundings. His lab is usually devastated by his sister Dee Dee who just wants to play with his inventions.
Dexter inadvertently created the chupacabra, but this causes some confusion concerning the chupacabra in The Secret Saturdays and in The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy.
FusionFall
Prior to FusionFall
Prior to FusionFall, Dexter has asserted himself as a world famous genius and inventor, and can sometimes seem like the leader in the fight against Fuse. Before he hit his teenage years, Dexter founded his company, DexLabs, and became more and more withdrawn therefore after. Computress, Dexter's robotic assistant became his only companion.
In the manga, it states that after the first Terrafusers landed on Earth, Dexter finally came out of seclusion and teamed up with ten-year-old Ben Tennyson, Professor Utonium, Blossom, Bubbles, Dee Dee, Numbuh Five, Numbuh Two, Mac, Bloo, and his arch-rival, Mandark, to defend Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends from the Fusion Spawn invaders. Dexter developed plans for an Electronic Pulse Cannon to disable the Terrafusers. Unfortunately, two key parts to the EPC were in the custody of both his nemesis, Mandark, and the villain, Mojo Jojo. Mojo's part was recovered without a hitch, but Mandark refused to

hand over his part unless he could oversee the construction of the EPC. Dexter reluctantly agreed and formed an uneasy alliance with his rival. Unfortunately, Mandark was distracted by his infatuation with Dee Dee, and made a fatal error in programming the EPC, causing it to jam at a crucial moment. Dexter was able to fix the error, and fired the cannon at the main Terrafuser, but not before it shot a signal that brought Planet Fusion to Earth.
The Future
At an unspecified time, the Hero has enlisted in a DexLabs time travel project. Before Dexter can program a destination into the machine, Dee Dee messes up the project (with her most famous line, "Ooooh! What does this button do?"), and sends the Hero into the far future where Planet Fusion's invasion has almost completely overtaken Earth. Dexter appears briefly and helps the Hero fight off his/her first Fusion, Fusion Buttercup. He is seen earlier helping Numbuh One, but disappears after Tech Square is devoured by the Fusion Invasion, signifying that he was lost after Tech Square fell. However, a transmission sent to the remaining heroes by Dexter states that he is "fine", and that everyone needs to work together to repair the Time Machine so that they can send the player to The Past.
The Past
Dexter can be found in Tech Square in front of DexLabs, alongside Computress. He has constructed a home for his parents on top of his company building in order to protect them after Fusion Spawns started appearing around his old house in Genius Grove. However, his old lab there is still a Fusion target, in which Fusion Monsters are continuously attempting to gain access to the technology found within. His robots, the Dexbots, are found all over the world, whether they are running Infected Zone warp pads or getting involved with Missions.
Dexter as a Guide
Dexter serves as one of the four guides players can choose to take missions from.
He aims to find out just what has happened to the heroes who have disappeared during the Fusion Invasion, using an alien device known as the Power Level Tracker. Eventually, it is revealed that Fusion Demongo, with his counterpart's stolen powers, is the cause of the disappearances. With the enlisted help of Samurai Jack, the player rescues and frees the missing heroes. In the aftermath, it is revealed that Aku, Jack's mortal enemy, is lurking in the shadows.
Dexter also appea

rs to have a dislike of imaginary friends, like Mandark's hatred of magic. It is more likely, however, that he was mad only at Coco for destroying one of his machines and at Cheese for disabling the shields during an important battle. (Very likely these displays of impatience resulted more from his lack of tolerance for annoying individuals such as Dee Dee than for Imaginary Friends as such, meaning he would show no hate for Wilt or Eduardo).
Echo Echo stated during the Birthday Bash that Dexter made a device that lets Ben send his aliens around the world. How he had done this without damaging the Omnitrix is still unknown. Starting from the Academy update until the original games shutdown, Dexter could be seen at Mt. Neverest, telling recruits what his guide missions involve.
Nano Development and Enhancement
The Dexlabs Primary Nano Research Facility
Nanos were created by the unlikely team of Dexter and Mandark, who used their combined genius in order to create the ultimate weapon against Fuse. However, they created these Nanos too late to stop the damage that The Future had already done. After the player arrived in The Future due to the time travel experiment, a plan was created to send back the instructions on how to create Nanos back to The Past via wormholes, along with other important information.
In an update (
), the DexLabs Primary Nano Research Facility was added to the game. Here, Nanos are kept in Nano Incubation Chambers, where the improvement of their production is under way. In this specific lab, research regarding the Johnny Bravo and Cheese Nanos are taking place.
FusionFall Heroes
In FusionFall Heroes, Dexter has discovered an element known as Dextronium, which he and other heroes use to combat Fusion monsters. His basic weaponry consists of four robotic arms on his back, each armed with a blaster pistol, as well as a large wrench-like weapon for close quarters.
