'''Daniel "Danny" Dyson''', or simply "'''Dan'''"<ref>Malibu ''Terminator'' comics</ref>, born in [[1988]],<ref>''[[Dark Futures]]''</ref> is the son of [[Miles Bennett Dyson|Miles]] and [[Tarissa Dyson]].

==History==
===''Terminator 2: Judgment Day''===
In [[1995]],<ref>The event happened in [[1997]] in {{TSCC}} timeline.</ref> Danny witnessed [[Sarah Connor]]'s assassination attempt on his father. Before she could kill him, however, [[John Connor]] and a [[T-800 (Terminator 2)|T-800]] stopped her. Ironically, it was Danny's disobedience of his parents by not going to bed and playing with a remote control truck that saved Miles when Danny bumped the truck into the former's leg, causing him to reach down to confiscate the toy, moving him out of range of Sarah's sniper shot. Afterward, Danny was taken to his room by John, so he would not see the Terminator remove the skin sheath over its arm and hear about the [[The War Against The Machines|future war]] and how his father's work led to the emergence of [[Skynet]] and [[Judgment Day]].  It is unknown what conversation or interaction John had with Danny during this brief time period.

===Deviating timelines===

====''Nuclear Twilight''====
The survivors of the nuclear holocaust of August 29, 1997, stayed underground for years until radiation levels dropped to safer levels. [[John Connor|John]] and [[Sarah Connor]], [[Tarissa Dyson]] with her children Danny and [[Blythe Dyson|Blythe]], former detective [[Detective Mossberg|David Mossberg]] were all watching the ruined city of [[Los Angeles]]. Years later, John Connor visited Danny out of despair and lack of motivation, as he sometimes did when things got rough. While they are gone, resistance soldiers [[Samuel]] and [[Griffith]] went to check out what Danny really did behind closed doors. While they trusted John Connor, they seemed to doubt Danny because he was the son of Miles Dyson, who was responsible for Skynet's creation. On Danny's computer, they found a copy of Skynet's sourcecode  and they suspected that Danny was working for the machines.{{story|Warchild}}

After the Resistance captured a Terminator in a heated battle, Danny replaced the original CPU with a reprogrammed CPU. After many years of work, Danny had programed a virus that was to be implanted into the terminator found by Reese, which they call "[[Rusty]]". Their plan was to infect all Terminators with this virus.{{story|Dead Men Walking}}
