Gerald Poisson

Poisson as he appears in Evilsmurfs 6

**Gerald Louis-Arnold Poisson**, also known as **Mr. Poisson** or **Dr. Poisson** is a former scientist, school principal, teacher, and current interdimensional threat.

Poisson pursued science from a young age, eventually graduating from university in the 1980s. He would formulate a foam comprised of carbon fiber using his intellect.

Poisson was responsible for starting the RAD program, which oversaw development of allowing interdimensional travel. Eventually, he alongside his colleagues perfected it, granting access to a multitude of different dimensions. After forming it, he disappeared to pursue his further aspirations alone, believing it was time for him to retire.

After his retirement, he would eventually take on a side career as a science teacher and eventually school principal. Around this time, a biology experiment would result in him gaining the nose of a star-nosed mole. The role lasted for a few years until an incident occurred at the Carbon Fiber Foam Factory, where students that were visiting on the field trip got lost in the factory and found that some of them were being experimented on by some of Poisson's workers. He promptly resigned, and disappeared entirely.

In truth, Poisson further developed interdimensional travel, creating something even more powerful than what the RAD team had. He would use this to explore a variety of different dimensions, which lead to his wishes to conquer them all.

He eventually stumbled upon one particular dimension where he encountered Tha Men. He persuaded them to aid him in his efforts to conquer their dimension, and allow him to conquer more after it. This plan was foiled when Gurglemeel fought against him, besting him on a version of earth's moon. He was sent back to his home dimension, where he would plan another attack.

Choosing to eliminate the RAD program, fearing word of his invasion attempts, he sent his invasion force to eliminate any other technology that could be used to beat him at his own game. This plan was also foiled by a sole technician, who stayed behind to defend the base.

## Biography

### Early Years

> Now listen up, Gurglemeel. Ever since I was a wee lad, my father always told me "oh, Gerald, you'll be the most successful child on the planet." So let me have that success!
>
> Gerald Poisson to Gurglemeel

Gerald Louis-Arnold Poisson was born in the year 1963. He is one of two siblings in his family, the other being his brother Charlie Poisson. As a child, he aspired to be successful in life as a scientist. His father would reassure him that he would be "the most successful child on the planet." He eventually went on to pursue theoretical physics, as well as biology and chemistry at some point.

Graduating from university, he immediately went to work producing Carbon Fiber Foam, an invention of his he developed during his studies. The substance could be sprayed like a foam, and would harden in time. This made it appealing to a variety of different projects and workplaces, and demanding full production of it.

### Carbon Fiber Foam

He opened the Carbon Fiber Foam Factory, producing vast amounts of the substance. Poisson had become a millionaire a few years after the start of production. When business peaked and he gained enough money, Poisson transferred ownership to his brother Charlie while he still held most of the profits.

Unbeknownst to most, including his own brother, Poisson had gathered several biologists to secretly conduct experiments on the side within the factory. The experiments were aimed at finding ways to improve human longevity, durability, and other factors, keeping the whole operation secret so that others would not attempt to copy his work.

### RAD Program

Focusing on his passion for physics, Poisson theorized that it would be possible to travel between dimensions. As he studied his idea and found it feasible, he decided to form a team of scientists to set the project in motion. This would lead to the creation of the Rift Access Domain (RAD) project in the year 2007.

Poisson and his scientists worked diligently to find a way to realize this goal. They eventually created two facilities, labelled the Poisson-Kimmel Building, and an unnamed sister base with remote development abilities. Eventually, they were successful in maintaining the rift system and created their first interdimensional portal. The rifts proved useful, exploring many different versions of what could have been or what was Earth in alternate universes. Some of these rifts could be used to make Earth travel quicker, as relation between space differed meaning rifts would appear further on earth than in another dimension.

### Seeds of Doubt

> I discovered hundreds... maybe thousands of different universes... dimensions... all with different states!
>
> Gerald Poisson to Gurglemeel

Poisson was among those who decided to travel to various different dimensions. Fascinated at first, he grew amazed at how each universe differed. To his surprise, none of the dimensions were close to what he knew as his own, leading to him dubbing some of them as "inferior." Upon observing some dimensions, a part of him grew fearful that one universe would prove to be more powerful than anything he could imagine, resulting in his successful streak being taken from him.

Deeply fearing a potential end to his work, Poisson considered ways to control the different dimensions. He theorized blocking off access through some means, which proved to be impossible to his knowledge. However, he thought that one could theoretically use intimidation to scare the "inferior" dimensions into joining them, amassing an army that would only grow stronger until one could completely overpower a greater dimension. Poisson decided that he would undertake this task eventually, as to ensure his success was never taken from him.

### Creation of The Nukleor Bombe

Working to create an intimidation tactic, Poisson established a team to create a powerful weapon, with the given intent on using it as to prevent invasion from a "superior" dimension. The result was the Nukleor Bombe, which was more powerful than even the most recent nuclear bomb. The bombe was kept in safekeeping within the Poisson-Kimmel Building, where it could be guarded by turrets installed into an electrified floor.

### Retirement

By the time he had accomplished his vision of the Rift Access Domain, Poisson had decided he was set for life. He would retire from the facility, deciding to focus on some other aspirations of his. Care of the facility was left in the hands of Dr. Harold Kimmel. Despite claiming his work there was done, Poisson chose to take copies of the various blueprints and documentation used to create the system.

At some point during his retirement, a biology experiment would result in him gaining the nose of a star-nosed mole.

He would also manage to create a miniaturized version of his rift technology, proving it worked by flicking between two different dimensions. The rift was unstable in this form, and would only be used as a last resort.

### Teaching Career and Factory Incident

While in retirement, Poisson chose to take on another role to cover his tracks. He became a school teacher, teaching science to a variety of younger students. He would regain more ownership of the Carbon Fiber Foam business from his brother, and would arrange field trips to it with various classes. When the principal of his school retired, Poisson was chosen to fill his place.

As principal, Poisson continued his field trips to the factory. During one such trip, a group of students got lost on the conveyor belts. Some of them were captured by the biology team down below and were ordered by Poisson in secret to be used as lab rats. They were given different DNA, which only had the effect of turning them into other animals. One of these students escaped and exposed Poisson's shady experiment program, resulting in the students being cured and Poisson being arrested.

After his arrest, he was able to weasel his way out of serving much time in prison due to his wealth. He was forced to resign from both his job as principal and from any position at the Carbon Fiber Foam Factory, with even his brother calling his actions "disturbing." He was found guilty and sentenced to a reduced fifteen years in prison.

While on transport to prison, Poisson mysteriously vanished. In truth, he had used his device to create a rift in the prison car, quickly flicking over to an alternate dimension to escape the confines of the vehicle. He then returned to Earth and made his way to a hidden base.

### Perfecting Teleportation

while in hiding, he further refined his rift technology, creating a concept for a "rift gun" that would grant him limited travel across two different dimensions - a tunable one, and his home dimension. He also created a more versatile system that took the form of a command console. Through his development with this different form of teleportation, he discovered that anything that he took with him into another dimension would be returned with him once the device was used, including the device itself. Though unplanned, this quirk made it more appealing to him, as none of his work would be left behind. Experiments with the traditional rift technology did not have this property, making them preferable for mass use while the new technology would benefit himself directly.

### Amassing an Army

Poisson started travelling across dimensions with the goals of starting an army. Many were deemed unworthy, so he ultimately skipped them. A few, such as a dimension that was home to the Gringles and various Wizards proved to be fruitful as he gained their trust. He would also make an alliance with the Pumpkinmen within the Pumpkin Dimension. At some point, he arrives in Eekeek World and befriends several Eekeeks.

### Alliance with Tha Men

Poisson would tune his teleportation console to what was a dimension similar to Earth, though still different in nature. Thirty-Seven years after Gurglemeel first went to war with the Smurf Army, Poisson was was greeted by Tha Men, a corrupt authority who had recently been split by company politics. Meeting with one such agent "Deep Throat" Poisson threatens the authority with the Nukleor Bombe. However, he requires no threatening as Deep Throat sees this as a perfect way to give his side of the company more power and a reason to exist. Deep Throat agrees to eliminate any threats to their takeover, and sends agent Arnold to spy on and eventually kill a resurfaced Reginald Smurfblum.

### Fight for The Dimension

> After I amass an interdimensional empire, than finally can this mole-nosed freak gain the respect he desrves!
>
> Gerald Poisson to Gurglemeel, Poopah, Smurfblum, and various members of Tha Men

While planning his interdimensional takeover, he received word that everything had fallen into place, as Poopah Evilsmurf had lured Smurfblum right where they wanted them both to be. As Gurglemeel phased into another dimension set up by Poisson as a distraction, Poopah was taken out by Smurfblum. He returned Poopah to Tha Men, who were waiting for him nearby. When Gurglemeel returned, Smurfblum confronted him and antagonized him before an explosion knocked both of them unconscious. Poisson walked out to marvel at what he had done, bringing all the threats under his control.

He explained to Gurglemeel who he was, his relations to Tha Men, and explained his intentions in full detail. He activated the portal as a test, only for it to malfunction causing only Poisson and Gurglemeel to be taken to a variety of different dimensions.

The duo were taken to a green field, where Gurglemeel donned a green tunic and fund himself outfitted with a bow and arrows. Poisson recognized the place, and used his alliance with the group of Eekeeks to fight back against Gurglemeel. As he threw cans of carbon fiber foam and summoned enemy eekeeks, Gurglemeel beat him after pummeling him with arrows. He noticed Poisson recovering, and the two were taken to another dimension.

Gurglemeel found himself on what looks like a computer mouse pointer. Poisson arrived, riding a Boss Orb, and warned him not to collide with him or else Gurglemeel will regret it. Gurglemeel avoided various Orbz, as well as Mr. Poisson, picking up various power-ups that seemed to appear at random. Poisson, wishing to end it there and then, decided to throw out an unknown object that turned out to be a power-up, giving Gurglemeel's cursor an impenetrable shield. He used this to destroy the orbz and defeat Poisson, who seemed to fall to his death.

Poisson and Gurglemeel then teleported to a stage, where a gameshow host greeted them. He explained that the usual host had to leave to manage his presidential campaign. He gave Gurglemeel a question regarding what creature Poisson's nose resembled. Gurglemeel answered star-nosed mole, which the host revealed was correct, offering him a prize from the nearest trapdoor. Gurglemeel was delighted at how easy the event was, but he was taken away again by the teleporter.

Gurglemeel arrived on the moon, where Poisson met with him. Surprised at the fact this version of the moon contained breathable air, he then turned his attention to Gurglemeel. He explained that all hew wanted was his success as he sprayed a new boss orb out of carbon fiber foam. He attempted to shoot Gurglemeel with a pistol, but Gurglemeel managed to steal it from him when he dropped it. Running to his new boss orb, he hovered above, dropping bombs and carbon fiber foam cans down to kill Gurglemeel. Gurglemeel managed to overpower him, shooting him with his own gun. This detonated a bomb inside the orb, sending Poisson to the floor.

Poisson and Gurglemeel returned to their dimension, with Gurglemeel now taking the high ground against Poisson. After bluffing about his powers, Poisson and all technology he brought with him was sent back to Earth as Smurfblum activated the device. Poisson was defeated, and left in shambles.

### Assault on The RAD Program

Poisson, angered by his defeat, decided to double his efforts. He visited multiple other dimensions with little luck, though he was successful in finding a parallel universe similar to Earth. Here, he would meet an alternate version of Daniel Kosinko, a music teacher he had met in a high school he worked at. He struck up an alliance with him, as he garnered the ability to mentally project a giant physical representation of his own floating head, among other telekinetic abilities. Adding him to his team, he also returned to the dimensions he had previously conquered, befriending The Grand Warlock and Lord Gourd of the Gringle Dimension and Pumpkin Dimension respectively. With the first version of his interdimensional army complete, decided he was ready to take on more dimensions. Realizing news of his return to Earth would garner him attention, he decided to destroy the Nukleor Bombe at the Poisson-Kimmel Building to vaporize all of their rift technology, as well as rendering most of Earth ruined and uninhabitable.

Waiting for the right time to strike, Poisson sabotaged the power grid, knocking it out and giving them the illusion that the rift was stabilized. However, the rifts only opened up wide, allowing Poisson's army onto Earth. With the army quickly approaching the facility, most of the team was evacuated, with one technician staying behind to defend the weapon inside the Poisson-Kimmel Building. Though powerful, the army was not prepared to combat the technician's defenses. Eventually, most of his army was destroyed, with the remaining deciding to flee to their dimensions. Poisson then decided to take it upon himself to detonate the weapon. Despite almost making it to the weapon in an armoured vehicle, he was unable to reach it and was knocked unconscious. However, he was able to use his rift gun to escape before he can be apprehended further.

Poisson arrived in a distant universe, stranded and unable to return home as knowledge of his arrival would only lead to his demise.

## Personality

Poisson wis a cold, ruthless individual who cared solely about his success. He will go to any length to ensure it was never taken from him, even if it means destroying what he loved. He is maniacal at times, reverting to an almost childlike state in some instances.

Before exploring various different dimensions and timelines, he was a much kinder individual. However, the seeds of his corruption had been planted as early as he had started experimenting in the Carbon Fiber Foam Factory.

## Abilities

Poisson is a genius, with an immense knowledge of physics, biology, and chemistry.

He is proficient with weapons, and can adapt quickly to his surroundings.

He uses his ability to intimidate to get his way, paving the way to his interdimensional army.

## Appearance

Poisson is a man in his early fifties, with light-brown combed-over hair and a wrinkled complexion. After an accident during a biology experiment, Poisson's nose was changed to that of a star-nosed mole. He almost always wore a gray business suit with a blue tie. As a principal, he wore a red tie.

## Trivia

* the character of Mr. Poisson appeared to PinkMedic in a dream. In the dream, he had the appearance of a distorted version of his school's principal at the time, albeit with the nose of a star-nosed mole. He said he would take the class on a trip to the "Carbon Fiber Foam Factory" to show them around it. In the dream, his name was different, but PinkMedic forgot it and instead referred to him as "Mr. Poisson" when recalling the dream.
* He is the first fully voice-acted character in a GNOMESCREAM title. Deal or No Deal.exe was originally meant to be the first title with voice acting, but would end up delayed until 2020.
* He is voiced by Evilsmurfs 6 creator Braden Pedersen
