## Trivia

* The word "Gossamer" is derived from the Middle English gossamer (a soft sheer gauzy fabric), from "gos" meaning goose and "somer" meaning summer, which translates to something light, delicate or insubstantial. Gossamer's name is meant to be ironic, since the character is large, menacing and destructive. In fact, he is so terrifying that, in his first appearance, his own reflection flees from him.
