ORIGIN STORY

Babbage was a combat-class unit sent to join the new Legion Academy from the newly founded planet of Robotica, after the long war between machine intelligence and organic life. Many of his peers resented his presence, blaming the machine life for all the hardships of the war.

Cosmic Boy, however, personally greeted Babbage and spoke with him shortly about history and the like (Babbage's chosen codename was a reference to a progenitor of computer science). Rokk thought that what Babbage was trying to accomplish with his enrollment was commendable, and offered the young machine good tidings.

Babbage served well during the few instances the Legion Cadets were called into action.

ORIGIN STORY

Tijulk Mr’asz is an insectoid alien who was forced to join the Legion of an alternative reality by his planetary government as their representative. He is unique as being one of the few non-humanoid Legion members, and the only one to have joined against his will. Taking the codename of Gates, he has strong political views, and sees the Legion of Super-Heroes as militaristic and inherently fascist.

Gates was drawn forth from his own reality, along with his fellow alternate Legion members by Brainiac 5 to assist with the confrontation of Superboy-Prime and the Legion of Super-Villains. Once the Legion of Super-Villains had been defeated, Gates decided to remain when his fellow Legionnaires returned to their correct reality.

Gates is a powerful teleporter, able to open portals to almost anywhere in the galaxy. Gates uses his abilities to ferry teammates quickly from point to point, but is resentful of being used solely as a method of transportation.
