Gary Pennyweight

Dr. Gary Pennyweight is a brilliant human scientist and telepath who appears in the web comic HALO. He lives on the "Dark Wolf" Earth, where superheroes abound.
=Origin=
His place of birth, upbringing, and education are not specifically revealed, but Pennyweight was known to be a brilliant physicist. With his knowledge, especially with respect to the nature of the Multiverse, he was able to locate the O-gate leading from his world to the "Happy Forest" Earth. There he made two fateful discoveries: the Microverse and the cobra named Hood, who would become Dr. Hood.
Betrayed by the power-mad Hood, he was forced to share Hood's body while unable to overcome the snake's conscious will. He did manage, however, to contact Tung by virtue of his telepathic power on one occasion. In the course of that conversation, he revealed the true nature of Tung's super power and charged him with defeating Dr. Hood at all costs. After Hood stole the body of the space-dwelling alien, Pennyweight voluntarily sacrificed himself so that Tung could retrieve the all-important shard, still embedded inside the merged snake body, which was all that remained of the Happy Forest universe.
He was reborn when J Shifter restored the Dark Wolf and Happy Forest universes and created the HALO universe.
=Powers=
His intelligence makes him one of the smartest men in the entire HALO continuum. He is also a fairly powerful telepath, able to communicate and read thoughts without the need to speak or even to be present nearby.
=Personality=
Pennyweight is a highly cerebral man, and appears the most friendly when he is able to discuss his expertise with someone on an equal level, as was the case with Hood and is the case with Bruiser. He is perhaps not the most interesting person to someone who cannot approach his level of intelligence, but he is very helpful and very wise.
