Zoom (2006)
In the film, Dylan was known to have started out as an outcast much like the other members of the team, however was more of a rebel than they were. His first appearance in the film was when he was at school and was forced to finish Isaac Newton's scientific equation; which he did, despite showing off his superhuman powers to the whole class. He was then taken to Area 52 where he was approved by Captain Zoom, Marsha Holloway and Dr. Grant to be apart of the new Zenith Team.

Upon starting his tests and training; Dylan was shown to have been constantly escaping with the use of his powers; which caused Grant to come up with an alert system known as "Code Dylan", everytime he was caught he was placed in an isolation cell. Eventually though, Zoom explained to him that he was there to help them develop their powers naturally than having them exposed to Gamma 13. He also discovered his second power known as mind sight; as well as the fact that Concussion was in fact Zoom's brother.

Thanks to Dylan's mind sight; he explained to Zoom that Connor was alive and that they planned to send the new team to confront him. Eventually though; he and the team got out of Area 52 in the FE-12 Flying Saucer and headed towards the sight where Concussion arrived. Dylan managed to get in close in order to deck Connor and distract him long enough for the others to get him into the mega vortex created by Zoom. This led to them restoring Concussion back to his former self; as a result Dylan met Connor for the very first time. Several months after; Dylan remained a member of the Zenith Team and began dating Summer Jones.
