Gekko

* Gekko
* Greg

**Gekko** (real name: **Greg**) is one of the 3 main protagonists of *PJ Masks*. He is the youngest member, one quarter of the PJ Masks, and is a Marvel-influenced counterpart of Gluglu from an alternate setting. His vehicular method of travel is the Gekko-Mobile or Power Lizard.

## History

Long before the events of the television series, Greg met his friends Connor and Amaya in a sandpit at school.

At an unknown specific time, Gekko, alongside Catboy and Owlette, would obtain their powers by receiving superhero suits created by their Spirit Animals. However, it is unknown what caused the Animal Spirits to give him and his friends their powers.

## Official Website Description

Gekko may be the youngest member of the team but he’s a strong and sticky master of camouflage! He’s ready to rush into danger and save the day with his super Gekko muscles. Always ready for action Gekko can scale walls and with his Gekko-Mobile so can all the PJ Masks! It can even travel underwater. Watch out baddies, here comes the mighty Gekko!

## Personality

### As Greg

Greg can sometimes be competitive when it comes to playing games, but he isn't very good at speaking to his class or rhyming (as evidenced in "Speak UP, Gekko!" and in the theme song of the series). When he isn't Gekko, he isn't as strong and that sometimes causes him to doubt himself. This is usually remedied by Connor and Amaya's encouragement. He's also nice, friendly, helpful, somewhat shy, fun, playful and brave.

### As Gekko

On occasion, Gekko pretends to be Kick McGee along with Catboy playing as Master Fang during missions. He sometimes displays insecurity, such as in "Gekko's Super Gekko Sense" when he made up a new power due to thinking that the powers he actually had would now help win the game. He can be easily distracted (which was emphasized in "Slowpoke Gekko"). Like his fellow teammates, childlike immaturity tends to overtake his mindset on the mission leading to issues (such as him and Catboy rejecting Owlette's desire to play along as Flossy Flash with them in "Catboy and Gekko's Robot Rampage"), but this is always realized and corrected leading to the mission being done properly, and the villain's plans foiled.

## Motive & Abilities

### Motive

Gekko and the rest of the PJ Masks will fight various nighttime villains that are scientifically oriented, most of his appearances often involve him and the team stopping villains from stealing stuff.

### Abilities

#### Main powers

* **Super Gekko Muscles**: His primary power; he has super strength which gives him the ability to lift extremely large and heavy objects, like a Komodo dragon. The upper limits of this strength are unknown, but he has been shown to perform feats like lifting the entire museum (as shown in "Mad With Moon Power"). However, Gekko has to actively trigger this power with the phrase "Super Gekko Muscles". When this power is not in use, Gekko isn't any stronger than a regular kid his age, and can be restrained.
* **Super Lizard Grip**: Can climb on walls and other surfaces like a gecko.
* **Super Gekko Camoulflage**: Can turn invisible.
* **Super Lizard Water Run**: Can run on water. This power has only been used once so far like a basilisk lizard.
* **Color-Changing**: Can change colors of his costume, like an anole lizard.
* **Super Gekko Shields/Super Lizard Shields**: A power he gained in "PJ Power Up," he can summon two shields attached to his arms, which he can use to block incoming attacks like a turtle. The shields can also be used as projectiles when Gekko throws them.
* **Amulet Symbol**: When pressed, he can communicate with his spirit animal (represented as Lionel).
* **Lizard Tail Swipe**: A power gained in "Ninja Power Up," he can use his tail to create a force that can deflect incoming attacks.

#### Temporary powers

The following powers were temporarily gained in "Owlette of a Kind":

* **Lizard Vision:** A power identical to Owlette's "Owl Eyes", caused by Romeo's Power Copier like a python.
* **Owl Wing Wind:** Another temporary power of Owlette's caused by Romeo's Power Copier like a draco lizard.

## Physical appearance

### As Greg

Greg has pale skin, green eyes and a blond parted hairstyle. During the daytime, Greg wears a light green sweatshirt with brown drawstrings, beige pants, and white sneakers.

In the nighttime, his pajamas consist of a pair of light green pants and a shirt featuring a lizard track pattern and his signature Gekko symbol. His pajamas also have a white trim.

In the winter, he wears an additional jacket over his regular clothes and green gloves.

### As Gekko

Gekko's costume is a light green superhero suit with artificial scales, a crest on his head, and a lizard tail. He has dark green padding at his elbows, legs and feet, and a lizard insignia at his chest.

When going underwater or on space missions, he wears his spacesuit, which includes a helmet, gloves, and boots worn over his regular superhero costume.

As of the episode "The PJ Riders," Gekko gains a Riding Armor anytime he summons Power Lizard. The armor gives him a helmet with green goggles, gloves, boots, additional armored plates that cover his usual superhero costume, and glowing green stripes. There are white lights generated from the gecko symbol that run down the glowing stripes on his arms, representing his main power of strength. His helmet includes a mask for breathing underwater, meaning the armor can serve the same purpose as his spacesuit.

The time in "Night Ninja's School of Naughtiness," where he disguised himself as Lizardo, his appearance is identical to that of his superhero identity, but his different color is red with a moustache.
