[edit] Fictional character biography

Very little is known about Gorgeous George, but it is known that he was a member of the Nasty Boys, a group of young mutants whose first and only missions were against the governtment sponsored X-Factor. He is also Australian. His arms are longer than normal because he forgot their normal length after getting drunk with the other Nasty Boys in his first appearance. He is able to do many things with his tar-like body, and he once attempted to choke Strong Guy by entering his lungs. Gorgeous George retained his mutant powers after the M-Day.

[edit] Other Media

  • Gorgeous George played a prominent role in X-Men: The Animated Series, in which he was voiced by Rod Wilson. He also appeared in X-Men Adventures, which was based on the animated series.
