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.[1]
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.[2][3] In the process, they encounter the Justice League United and help them battle Infinitus.[4]
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.

- Gates appears in Adventures in the DC Universe #10.[5]
