Hell, I think the fact that they play such a big role in the main story and is THE symbol of hope for their world makes them very special, even though they know there are feelings and flaws they can't overcome, but they try anyway because that's what has to be done for a better world- I love Gates.

No kidding, gates partner definitely has to be my favorite of all the partners- I love the Explorers shyness and restraint and how they overcome it, I love Super's over-the-top enthusiasm and optimism, but Gates has that combination of kind hearted and serenity that makes them special-

for the kips!
