at the Paradise Valley Chemical Plant, Vince is a former Navy Seal and uses illegal tactics to protect Danielle's interests. Vince often remarks about the Federal Government, "I'm not one of their favourite guys", and is mentally unstable, although it is never made entirely clear what occurred in his past that drove him to work for Paradise Valley Chemical. He makes it his obsession to find the GC-161 child (even after he gets fired from the Plant). After being fired, he wears military garb and talks to himself. Despite often being cruel to Dave, he at times does treat Dave as possibly the only real friend he has. While trapped in an air duct in the Mack House at one point, he breaks down sobbing after Barbara says of him, "the man had no friends" (from her time working alongside him). Oscar (animal actor; name unknown) – a chimpanzee that Dave buys Vince as a Christmas present; Oscar consumes an open jelly glass of GC-161 in Season 2, gaining similar powers to Alex's. In Season 3, he's revealed to have been adopted by Dave, living in Dave's trailer park. Lars Frederickson (played by Kevin Quigley) – A skilled chemist hailing from the Paradise Valley Chemical Plant's foreign branch in Vienna. He becomes Danielle Atron's chief subordinate after Vince gets fired. Lars has a shy wife named Inez, who attends an awkward dinner at the Mack household. Annie and Lars together uncover a disturbing report from the 1970s revealing that GC-161 is older than either of them initially believed, and that all the scientists on the original research project, aside from Danielle Atron, are missing or deceased. This bothers Lars, who goes to Danielle to question her, but then he decides to help her cover up the report. Lars is named after one of the members of punk rock group Rancid. Hunter Reeves (played by Will Estes) – Hunter comes to Paradise Valley with an agenda concerning the disappearance of his father in relation to GC-161. Alex finds a shrine to Danielle in his bedroom after sneaking in, but then discovers that he's actually been investigating the plant. Alex eventually kisses him and reveals her powers to him in Season 4. Jo (played by Jennifer Manley) – Jo is a morbidly obese school bully who torments Alex, Ray and Robyn in several episodes throughout seasons 3–4. Bryce (played by Josh Keaton)
