Danny Wilcox is dependable, trustworthy and usually pretty nice. He's not a lot of fun at parties, but you can count on him to drive you home. (Though he's not above barking a few platitudes at you along the way.) He's got a very low threshold for the exotic, a trait which he believes is his strength.

History
Roomies!
Danny Wilcox went to High School with Joe, where he first met and fell in love with Sal. This is also where he first met Mary. After leaving for college, Danny quickly gained the affection of Joyce, who he tried his best to ignore. During a small monologue with no-one to hear it, he met Alex. He found that his childhood memories had been embellished. After getting a bed to the head, he gets some bad news - Sal is moving again and is breaking up with him.
To cheer him up, Joe bought him the comic Robo-Vac #1. His bike was stolen, and Joyce announced their engagement, much to his own surprise. Sal then turns up in his room when he goes to get his coat. Escaping an approaching Joyce, they meet Alex and David. Sal then says goodbye again.
During his second year of college, Danny met Howard and his sister, Ruth. Striking up a rapport with her to stop her from beating up Joe, he is invited over to her house during the weekend. Repulsed by her drunken friends, he tells Ruth of his worries about Sal and how he isn't as stable as he looks. Over time, he becomes more depressed about his situation, especially when Ruth admonishes him for mistreating Joyce and leading her on. Tired of being the good guy, he starts drinking with Billie and ends up drunk.
When he ends up driving drunk in Ruth's car, she follows him in Ron's car. Trying to get him to pull over, she spots a truck about to cross the divide and into Danny. She bashes Danny out of the way and is killed by the collision with the truck. After getting out of the hospital and spending a night in the cells, Danny is still depressed by the death of Ruth.
When Billie moves in after getting kicked out by Ron and Carly, the two of them clash and argue. During the summer, Mary berates Danny for drinking and having no hope left, and Billie arrives to tell him her feelings about her life. As the tension grows between them, Danny and Billie decide to visit Mount Rushmore, whilst Joe and Mary tag along. After a brief detour to Botcon at Joe's request, they arrive.
Alone on the park walk, Danny and Billie are overcome by hormones and start making out. As they start a home run, Billie stops Danny, saying that she wants to be good and can't do this. Unhappy with her life, she appeals to Danny to help her recover, and he accepts.
Danny tries to talk to Howard on Billie's request, but Howard tells him to leave. Whilst revising, Mary tells him that Billie is drunk at a party and he goes to see her. It turns out she has only had one, but she is distraught for her lack of self-control. She tells him that Mary had sex with a guy at the party, and he confronts her on this. Chastised for believing Billie, Mary tells him to leave.
Whilst helping Billie get her stuff from Ron and Carly's, he find that Howard has moved in with them. At the same time, Mary arrives and immediately gets in a fight with Billie. The two of them demand that Danny back each of them up. When Danny refuses to turn on Mary, Billie runs off in anger. When Mary tries to congratulate for staying moral, he ignores her, angry at her for making him choose. He realizes that he's a flip-flop with no direction, and decides to change that by saving Howard from Ron. Driving off to catch up to Billie, he reveals that Mary did sleep around and implies that she's pregnant. Finding Billie, he tells her how wrong he was to doubt her, and Billie forgives him.
It's Walky!
After the start of It's Walky!, the focus is switched away from Danny and life moves on. Billie and Danny rent a house together along with Joe and Howard. Soon after, Walky arrives and is introduced to Danny as an old friend. Oddly familiar, he finds him weird and avoids him, until Joe reveals that he knows where Joyce is. Telling him all about her past, Walky moves on.
As graduation approaches, Danny realizes that he and Billie will be separated whilst he interns elsewhere. He decides to propose to her, but a meeting with Mary makes him realize that he shouldn't worry about where they are headed, and just see where they are. Getting an internship in Colorado, Billie suggests they go visit Walky when she is next in the state and off from school.
Visiting in November, they arrive after Joe has finished training and joined SEMME. After Walky has persuaded Joe to hide, he shows Billie and Danny around, until they get the fateful news that Joe has died during a fire. Despite Walky's subtle hints, they leave mourning their friend.
During the Culmination storyline, Billie and Danny are again in Denver seeing Star Wars:Episode II. When Sal turn all of North America yellow, Walky takes him to see her and he comforts her for being dishonest with herself. He tells her that things will be better, until The Cheese arrives and he is ushered out. Noticing Joe, he is at first confused until Joyce flies through a wall. He tells her she is still strong, and to use her anger and her brain. This prompts Sal to defeat The Cheese, much to Danny's distress as he fears to lose her again. He then notices that Joe is actually alive and freaks out that Walky and Sal are related.
Danny continues to visit Sal in jail, much to Billie's distaste. Revealing how he still feels for her, Billie storms out. However, she later returns and he promises to pay more attention to her. However, he still continues to visit Sal, even after Joyce tries to tell him that he is only infatuated with Sal, just as Joyce was with him. Not that it mattered, since Sal is "kidnapped" by Jason Chesterfield almost immediately after Danny and Joyce's conversation.
A few months after Sal's escape, she attempts to visit Danny's apartment, only to run into Billie instead. A fight ensues that tears down Danny's door and most of the hallway outside, until Sal promises Billie she would stay out of Danny's life and leaves. When Danny arrives on the scene, Billie tells him the damage was done by burglars, and he never finds out about her encounter with Sal
Sal eventually breaks her promise and sneaks into Danny's apartment when he's alone. She attempts to seduce him on the spot, but he talks her into going to dinner to talk it out, during which he tells Sal that he can't betray Billie like this anymore, and had grown to truly appreciate her after realizing he had taken her for granted. He also reveals that he was planning to propose to Billie. Danny tells Sal that he does care about her, and Sal responds that that was the problem, nobody else does. She leaves soon afterwards.
During the final days of It's Walky!, Danny gets a call from Billie saying she is at SEMME HQ and it's under attack. Going to his car, he find that Joe and Rachel have turned it into Ultra Car. Finding they plan to storm the Martian mothership, he convinces Joe to let him go with them so he can save Billie. Once there, he fights the zombie crew of the USS Destiny and finds Phil, the janitor. During It's Walky! $100 Theatre, he joins Joe in fighting Monkey Master in Ultra Car, only to get badly hurt in the process and getting taken away in an ambulance.
Joyce and Walky!
During one of the pay-per-view Joyce and Walky! storylines, Danny and Billie get married, despite the grumblings of Joyce and Sal.
He and Billie have been expecting a child who was finally born on the tenth anniversary of the Walkyverse. A child named D.J.
In other news: In some parallel universe Danny got together with Sal instead of Billie, and they had a kid, and when he grew up he traveled back in time to our universe. According to Billie, this is his fault.
