Gates (Ti'julk Mr'asz) is a fictional character and 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 is an insectoid alien who joined the Legion as part of a draft, and views its members as militaristic and fascist. He is one of few free-thinkers on his homeworld, the rest being unindividualistic conformists. Gates was later erased from existence following the "Threeboot" before being restored in Final Crisis: Legion of 3 Worlds. In The New 52, Gates made his first appearance in Legion Lost, where he and several other Legionnaires were trapped in the 21st century. In the process, they encounter the Justice League United and help them battle Infinitus.

Powers and abilities

Gates can create glowing green "gates" that link two locations determined by him. They are also shown to have sharp edges; he once accidentally severed Ra's al Ghul's arm while teleporting.

Equipment

As a member of the Legion of Super-Heroes, Gates is provided a Legion Flight Ring, which allows him to fly and protects him from the vacuum of space and other dangerous environments.
