I actually loved the character Dan. I think he was not really an "empath" or whatever, and nobody in the movie really believed him either. He's more likely a con man, and Fitch always knew it, he's just didn't know who he needs to recruit anyway, so he took anyone that'd be available. Very realistic depiction of how a goverment agency works.
If Fitch could gather a team of fully capable superheroes like the Avengers it would make the movie too cliched and way more unrealistic. In fact, this movie has many instances of small unecessary details that other movies in this genre never bothered with, like how they made Dan a moslem, in a movie pre-politically-correct-every-single-minorities-have-to-be-represented Hollywood. That's pretty advanced for 1995. Oh, and the black guy didn't die!
