Gates (comics)
Ti'julk Mr'asz, codename Gates, is a fictional character, a member of the Legion of Super-Heroes in the DC Universe. Like all natives of the planet Vyrga, Gates has a largely insectoid body. He is also noted for his strong political views, tending towards socialism. Fictional character biography Gates was the third non-biped member (after Quislet and Tellus) in the history of the Legion (the first after the 1994 reboot). He was also unique amongst Legionnaires in being their only ''unwilling'' member, having been drafted by his planetary government to represent them in the Legion (which he perceived as being militaristic and inherently fascist). Apparently Gates is one of the very few free-thinkers on his homeworld; the rest are unindividualistic conformists. Gates has played key roles in many missions; his tactics enabled Star Boy to defeat Validus of the Fatal Five and he was able to resist the Emerald Eye's possession. Gates was part of the Legion team that was stranded in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
