== Charactah Account ==
Gary is a hyperactive yet good-hearted astronaut who finds himself on a journey to save the universe from whatever threats may come its way.
Gary is shown to be more immature and arrogant, but as the series progressed, Gary has notably matured over the course of each chapter. Gary often has a habit of talking inadvertently, or as he self-proclaims it: 'word-arrhea'.
Gary starts out inexperienced with flying spacecrafts, seen in the flashback scene prior to his arrest in Chapter One. However, as the series continues, Gary's piloting skills and overall knowledge of the ships he flies gradually improve. It is also implied that Gary had hoped to become a pilot for the Infinity Guard growing up, as shown in "The Sixth Key".

== Trivia ==
* Gary's phrase, "tough titty whompus" comes from show creator Olan Rogers' mother, a phrase she would use when he didn't get his way.
* According to Olan Rogers, the reason Gary was put on the Galaxy One, instead of a regular prison, was because the Infinity Guard thought he deserved special treatment as the son of John Goodspeed. There was a scene regarding this in Season 3, but it was cut. 
* As a child, it is possible that Gary may have had an interest in insects, as his childhood treehouse had a collection of bugs. This could also be a reason why his father gave him his pet caterpillar Mooncake.
* Gary is the first character to lose a father. The second being Little Cato.
* In Chapter 1, Gary mentions that he is Presbyterian. This is then later referenced in episode 8 when Gary is told that he had been pre-selected to see Bolo before he had been born. This is a reference to a belief that Presbyterians believe in called "Predestination" where a person would be destined by God to either go to hell or heaven before they had been born.
* According to Olan Rogers twitter, all of the character's birthdays are the same as their voice actors. This would make his birthday June 11.
* Gary is 32, as mentioned in The Sixth Key.
* Gary is a parody and pastiche of science-fiction protagonists.
** Similar to Luke Skywalker and his father Anakin, he loses part of (or all of) an arm to the main antagonist.
** He is blond and wears red, similar to Cale Tucker from the film Titan A.E.
*** Both of their fathers are voiced by Ron Perlman.
** Like Peter Quill/Star-Lord, he is a huge fan of 80's music, particularly the works of Kenny Loggins.
* Gary was born during the rinse cycle of a hovercar wash.
* It is revealed in "The Lost Spy" that Gary has the single largest bounty in the entire galaxy.
