Character Details
The name Gomi means 'garbage' in Japanese. It was given to him by his cousin's lab partner Tadashi Fujita, a college senior in Ramon's class. The pair showed amazing promise in the scientific field, hailed by their professors as being two of the most brilliant scientists. They were granted a federal research grant as well as use of college funded facilities. With the amount of research into cybernetics they were doing, they received additional funding, but from an anonymous donor. They set up shop near Coney Island, developing a research lab and employing the use of Ramon Lipschitz's younger cousin as a lab assistant. The assistant remained nameless until Tadashi finally learned of his hatred of his real name (Alphonsus Lefszycic) and dubbed him "Gomi", making it sound as though he had given him the gift of a proud Japanese name. Accepting the name, Gomi did pretty much whatever his cousin told him to do, sweeping, cleaning, moving things… general servant work. His payment was general shelter and food. His mother was mostly absent from his life, spending most of her time out of town or out of the house. There were only rumors as to what happened to his father. He slept in the back room of the laboratory, and ate little. With no family structure, Gomi was often left on his own, and turned to books and research as his companions.
The mutant phenomenon was becoming known to the general public, but there were those in close scienfific circles that were experimenting with mutant powers, hoping to understand them… even replicate them. That's where Ramon and Tadashi's experiments came in. They aquired a couple of lobsters from the local fish market and set about to perform their experiments. Gomi named them Bill and Don, Don being a blue mutant lobster used as a control for the experiments. They were outfitted with metallic exoskeletons and implanted with modifications that gave them enhanced strength and intelligence. They were strong enough to tear a phone book, and while they couldn't exactly solve complex algebra, were intelligent enough to understand commands and general things. The curiosity of the two students was insatiable and they wanted to know more and experiment more. They couldn't do much more with Bill and Don, so they turned their sights on a larger specimen - Gomi.
One day, while Gomi was cleaning the lab, Tadashi and Ramon conspired to use their little lab rat as their next experiment. With no qualms or moral repercussions Ramon took a jar of chloroform and rendered Gomi unconscious. The surgery was difficult and extensive, the slightest miscalculation could result in well…a mess. And if they failed who would they get to clean the lab? Obviously a lot was riding on this procedure being a success and unfortunately none of it had anything to do with Gomi's well being. Eventually he awoke, finding himself bandaged around the middle and his hair shaved, head wrapped in bandages as well.
The experiment was to cybernetically replicate the telekinetic abilities of their idol: Jean Grey. Their lab was plastered with posters and pictures. Needless to say, they were quite smitten with the woman and since they would never have a chance with such a gorgeous woman, they wanted to find someone that looked enough like her to implant their device. They scouted around, but when the time came, they decided that they couldn't 'ruin a perfectly good girl' and turned on Ramon's young cousin.
door, trying to use mind over matter to lift the object but instead felt a sharp pain in his head and a burst of uncontrolled telekinetic force burst from the young man's mind, blowing the object to pieces along with the door and half the wall it was attached to. The blast knocked Gomi back and he fell unconscious while his cousin and Tadashi spazzed out. Their funding from school depended on the successes of their experiments and how were they EVER going to pay back the college for trashing their lab? He regained his senses just in time to hear Ramon and Tadashi talking about what to do with him. Were they going to kill him? Dump him in the river? In a fit of panic Gomi picked up Bill and Don, fleeing the Coney Island laboratory and running as far from home as he could imagine.
Still recovering from his surgery, Gomi found himself homeless, hungry, hurting and in charge of two lobsters that depended on him. He wasn't old enough to work, and if Social services found him they'd ship him right back home. That would be disasterous for the cybernetic trio, so they set out on their own. Things weren't going so well for them. Food was scarce, shelter was hard to find and the weather was starting to get cold. He tried doing some work in a local soup kitchen, but that didn't work out so well when they saw Bill and Don. A lobster dinner might have been great for the homeless, but very bad for the metallic lobsters. Taking back to the streets, he was close to giving up when a doorway opened from nowhere and a tall sparkling woman with sunglasses peered through. Her perfectly manicured hand reached through and grabbed him, pulling him through the door.
On the other side of the door was a group of ruffians, a group of young mutants that called themselves the Fallen Angels. They lived in an abandoned warehouse, stealing food or money whenever they could. They certainly needed Gomi's scientific expertise to keep their electricity running, and the young cyborg found a home with these theives. They found themselves on several adventures, mostly due to Ariel's random doorway opening, taking them to strange and remote places. Eventually, Gomi tired of the constant stealing and struggling and decided to try and make it on his own, slipping away in the night with Bill and Don.
