History

The young man known as Gomi is the younger brother of a researcher experimenting in bionics. Their experiments resulted in the creation of augmented abilities (human-level intelligence and strength and the ability to project small illusions for communication) for a pair of lobsters which Gomi named Bill and Don. The two scientists treated Gomi harshly (the name "Gomi" is a Japanese word meaning "junk") but Gomi idolized them so that he didn't see it. Forced to provide results, the scientists performed similar experiments on Gomi himself, trying to bestow telekinetic abilities. They failed, however, in that Gomi's cybernetics simply produced a destructive and uncontrollable bolt of kinetic energy. The scientists were denied further funding, and Gomi ran away with the lobsters rather than have them eaten.

Bill and Don

At some point afterward, Gomi became a part of the Fallen Angels, a group of petty superpowered thieves led by the villain Vanisher. He made friends and accompanied them on adventures, serving as the team's technical expert.

Tragedy struck when Devil Dinosaur, who joined the team following a trip into the past, accidentally stepped on the lobster Don, killing it. Nonetheless, grief-stricken Gomi continued to serve on the Fallen Angels, accompanying them to the Coconut Grove, Ariel's home planet. The inhabitants of the Coconut Grove captured the Fallen Angels, intending to use them as experiments to continue their evolution, but the Angels worked together to defeat them. Gomi rejoined the Fallen Angels and he and Bill presumably remains with them to this day.
