History

Gamera: The Guardian of the Universe

Gamera: The Guardian of the Universe #1

Gusano was the personal bodyguard to the biologist Greta Karbone on her private island. After securing a great deal of contraband materials such as Gyaos DNA, and radioactive materials at low prices through Ukraine, they successfully were able to clone Gyaos and create several other mutants. However, one day, the Gyaos clone grew too big for its containment jar and escaped. It managed to eat their assistant Carlos. With Karbone under the alias of Patty Smith, invited Mayumi Nagamine, an Ornithologist who had been instrumental in Gyaos' defeat one year prior, to the island under the guise of having seen a thought-to-be extinct bird. Gusano sailed the two to the island, where he remarked that they should search for the bird in the morning. Nagamine inquired if he was afraid of the dark, and Karbone, disguised as Patty Smith, said that he had had an encounter with a nocturnal creature that had left him in fear of darkness, likely in reference to Gyaos' escape. While going through the jungle to the laboratory, Nagamine identified a pile of Gyaos droppings, which lead to her telling Gusano to call the Mainland Authorities about the new Gyaos. Karbone then took Nagamine to the lab with the mutants, where she and Gusano described their predicament. Karbone then unmasked herself and revealed her plan to Nagamine: to force her into creating new Supermonsters under their control.
