The Gremlin here is an old character of mine from the 80's that is second only to Twofold in overall redesigns. His redesigns even changed him to a bulkier character for a while before returning to his wirey roots. This current version is based on the idea I had around 1999 or 2000 where some of his people crashed-landed on Earth before WWII, were captured by Nazis and forced into their super-science collective to create advanced weapons. The 'gremlins' used their own tools to rebel and joined the Allies to help fight the Nazis. They returned to their home planet and Gremlin here is the grandchild of that ship's main engineer. He grew up hearing stories about Earth heroes and learned his granddad's Earth-based fighting style that uses modified versions of their tools. After getting a more powerful computer, I went back to the original scan and did a bit more line clean-up so I can color a larger, nicer version. I also added the blue shirt since that sets everything off perfectly. This will probably be the outfit that you see him wearing in his first story appearance and will include that pair of his late grandfather's goggles he wears around his neck.
