Dean is generally more shy, studious, and anxious like his father as opposed to his brother's outgoing and macho personality. He is often far more cautious and fearful, usually warning his brother against doing dangerous or foolhardy things which most of the time goes unheeded and earns him derision from his brother and leads to him being called a wuss. Dean even gets dizzy when he stands up too quickly and is often overpowered by his brother in horseplay. Compared to the hot-headed Hank, he is far more intelligent, logical, and more naive of the pair. Also, unlike Hank, Dean tends to avoid action and danger, and doesn't like going on adventures. Unlike his brother, Dean initially showed more interest in science and it is shown throughout the show he has absorbed and utilized the knowledge from the learning beds which he has sometimes put to practical use such as rebuilding and repairing H.E.L.P.eR., helping Rusty build and later repair the shields on Gargantua -2, getting accepted into Stuyvestant University, and an internship at Impossible Industries. Though reserved and naive, people seem to generally take to Dean. He is able to generate some interest from the otherwise cynical Triana Orpheus, and even got Monarch's Henchman 24 to open up to him. He also seems to have better luck with the opposite sex, as he bonds and gets along with them better, and doesn't seem to turn them off and away as Hank and Rusty often does, as he even manages to attract Hank's girlfriend Sirena Ong to him. Despite such, Dean tends to be a loner and doesn't seem to form any deep friendships and relationships with any of the characters from the show unlike Hank who has best friends such as Dermott and Brock. After he and Triana fought and she moved away, Dean fell into a depression and experienced a serious existential crisis that caused him to begin distancing himself from his family, refusing to go on adventures, and started to question and reject the family business of super-science which only intensified after he discovered that he was a clone. It was Hank's positive reaction, outlook, and enthusiasm about being clones made Dean reevaluate his life, finally seeing that everything was alright and they had an amazing family. When they moved to New York in Season 6, Dean had more or less returned to his normal self, although more mature and less fearful, naive, and anxious. He also maintains his rebellious streak by looking to change his college major away from science and not wanting to follow in Rusty's footsteps. Dean along with Hank was, "born" through artificial insemination and incubated through an artificial womb with eggs given to Dr. Venture from Mantilla. It's unknown how Dean and Hank became so different in attitude and personalities, but like Hank, he accompanied Dr. Venture on many adventures, and was taught and raised by the Learning Beds. Like Hank, Dean was also killed numerous times over the course of his life and has been cloned over 14 times. A flashback montage showing the boys' deaths seems to indicate that Dean may have died slightly less times than Hank. Dean's angry and rebellious streak led him to the part of the compound that he was once too afraid to go to and meets Ben, who explains to Dean that he and Hank are clones. This revelation left him at a loss of what to do or think. As such, Dean realized the negative effects of going on adventures and the learning beds and became more rebellious. He moved into D-79's old space in the attic and refused to come with the team on adventures and became a total recluse. He dyed his hair jet black, destroys his learning bed, his old sweater vest, his Bizzy Bee wallet, his Spider-Man pajamas, and his Giant Boy Detectivebooks. In the Season 5 finale, Dean finally tells Hank about their status as clones but unlike Dean, Hank has a more optimistic view of the information and tells the surprised Dean that it is one of the good things of being a Venture. His brother's happy outlook, lift Dean's spirits and he is able to move past his depression and end his angry streak. During All This and Gargantua-2, he has more or less returned to his normal self and has amended his relationship with his family. He assists Rusty in repairing the damaged shields from asteroids, helping save the space station and everyone on it from destruction. In Season 6, when the family has moved to New York, Dean attends Stuyvesant University, he considers majoring in something that isn't science related. Despite that, he still spends time with the family and gives Rusty good advice on on how to run the company and helps Hank on his date with Sirena Ong. In The Curse of the Haunted Problem, strange things begin happening at the VenTech Tower. Fearing that the building is possessed, Dean asks Dr. Orpheus for help who discovers the still living head of Jonas Venture Sr. in the PROBLEMmachine is causing the strange issues. Dean was shocked to finally meet his grandfather, though he ran out the building when Jonas took control of it. Dean then witnessed The Blue Morphoarriving on the scene. In Arrears in Science, while outside the tower, Dean tells Hank that their grandfather was still alive, to Hank's excitement. However, Dean warned him not to and soon watches as Jonas and Morpho are ejected out. Two months later, in The High Cost of Loathing, Dean decides to move into the dorms at Stuyvesant University, and becomes the dorm mate of the Brown Widow. Rusty, still seeing him as a favorite, gives Dean a blank checkbook to spend on whatever he wants.
