Gex

Gex, also known as Gecko X and Reno, is the titular main protagonist from the Gex series.
== Charactah Account ==
Gex lives with his family in Maui, Hawaii. He spends his days with his friends, surfing, playing the ukulele and throwing poi parties down on the beach with the local lady lizards. After his father's death, he begins watching mass amounts of TV to get over the tragedy.
After a NASA accident resulting in his father's death, Gex became cooped up, watching TV for a great portion of his life. However, this rewarded nothing but the catchphrases Gex throws out. Gex is virtually never in panic; he seems to keep everything calm and instead let his tail do the talking. He is also never serious and makes a joke of everything, even when getting hurt.

== Trivia ==
* Gex was voiced in the first game, in the UK and American releases, by comedian Dana Gould, who also voiced him in the two sequels Gex: Enter The Gecko and Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko. He was also voiced by comedians Leslie Phillips and Danny John-Jules, in the second and third games respectively, for the UK and European releases thus giving Gex a more British accent.
* Gex was fashioned off the characters of James Bond, for Gex: Enter the Gecko, and Austin Powers, for Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko, as can be seen in the cover artwork for each game.
* The sunglasses Gex is often seen wearing in promotional images for Enter the Gecko and Gex 3 are based on the Oakley Eye Jacket Iridium style of sunglasses.
* Gex contributes to the games with wise-cracking remarks laced with American TV-culture and pop-culture references, paying homage to Ash Williams, the protagonist from The Evil Dead films.
* Gex appears in the Xbox game, Mad Dash Racing as an unlockable character.
* He also appears as an unlockable character in SCEA's Hot Shots Golf 2 for the PlayStation along with Sir Daniel Fortesque of MediEvil and Sweet Tooth of Twisted Metal.
* The rumors section of the Official Playstation Magazine and Nintendo Power spoke of Gex’s return on the PlayStation 2 and GameCube sometime near the release of Crystal Dynamics's Blood Omen 2. The exact month and issue number of the statement is not known at this time.
* In the Japanese release of Gex: Enter the Gecko, where the game was localized as Spin Tail (Supinteiru), Gex's name was changed to Reno despite his original name (Gekkusu) remaining the same in the Japanese release of the first game.
* Gex has been referenced in The Henry Stickmin Collection as Waxwell Gex.
* Gex along with the platformer mascots, Sonic The Hedgehog and Bubsy The Bobcat are referenced in the game Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time. They are mainly brought up in one of the flashback levels, The Gauntlet. In the level, Cortex makes the comment about testing animals: "Maybe next time I'll try a hedgehog... or a bobcat... or a gecko" making a direct nod to the mascots.
* In Electronic Gaming Monthly Issue 144, a Gex animated film was rumoured and it would have been done by DreamWorks. However, it was mentioned that it yet to enter the production phase at the time. But, it assumed the pitch never went through, since there was no follow-up on this rumour since this publication. Similarly, how many movies based on videogames didn't follow through at the time.
