4-DAC with Jonny's compuport.

4-DAC was a robot designed and built by Dr. Benton Quest. He mainly served as a tutor and companion to Jonny Quest and Hadji Singh. As a robot, he tended to be very literal minded, but his AI was sufficient that he was capable of comprehending humor and able to crack jokes of his own on occasion. While accompanying Dr. Quest to Quest Station to study mysterious weather phenomenon blanketing the Earth, he was taken over by a computer virus by Dr. Zin's underlings 426 and 427, which brought him under Zin's control. Initially, Zin planned for him to simply upload all of Quest Station's files to his own computer, then set it to self-destruct, but after 427 realized that Quest Station had a lab dedicated to studying the prehistoric assassin bug pseliopus cinctus anticus, Zin decided to instead grab the entire station with a tractor beam and bring it aboard his asteroid fortress so he could used the specimens of pseliopus cinctus frozen in amber to create his Assassinoids.

4-DAC captured Quest and his colleague Dr. Eve Belage and brought them before Zin. However, Zin grew tired of the robot pointing out flaws in his plans and had him thrown into a vat of ethynol by his Formicoids. Using his compuport, Jonny was able to remotely purge the virus from 4-DAC's system, restoring him to normal. He freed Quest and Belage, but ended up being badly damaged when they were recaptured and was thrown into a garbage chute this time. When Jonny found him, he was able to upload 4-DAC's consciousness onto his compuport, allowing the robot to survive, albeit without his original body. While in the compuport, 4-DAC proved indispensable in helping the Quests overcome Zin. Realizing that the computer virus used to control him was still in his memory, he had Jonny connect him to Zin's computer in the asteroid's control room. The virus shorted Zin's computer out and brought it under Jonny's control, allowing the Quests to turn off the base's stealth cloak, rendering it visible to Intelligence 1 on Earth as well as giving I-1 Central Command control of the Zin's stealth satellite which was disrupting the planet's weather. Commander Harris ordered the satellite turned against the base, causing it to heat up and be destroyed. Everyone managed to get out in time (even Zin, though no one knew it).

Back on Earth, 4-DAC's mind was put in a new robot body.
