Gizmo is a Fighter from the Gremlins Universe in MultiVersus. He was teased on September 1st, 2022 and was fully revealed and released on September 8th, 2022 (originally slated to release on September 6th, 2022).[1]
Origin[]
Gizmo is a cute and kind Mogwai as well as one of the main protagonists of the Gremlins franchise. Originally owned by the Chinese antique shop owner Mr. Sam Wing, Gizmo now resides in New York alongside his new owners, Billy and Kate Peltzer. He's a big fan of the Rambo franchise, and has helped Billy defeat the evil Gremlins every time they tried bringing chaos upon their city.
According to the main lead writer for MultiVersus, Gizmo's portrayal in the game comes from the Gremlins movie, right before Stripe's death.[2]
Official Biography[]
No matter how much he cries, no matter how much he begs, never feed him after midnight.[3]
Heroic Mogwai Warrior
When Gizmo heard that his malevolent off-spring Stripe had been pulled into the battle for the Multiverse, he followed immediately to stop him. Gizmo has always been a hero: Whether it was helping save Kingston Falls, averting the disaster at the Clamp Center, or any of the other adventures from his (surprisingly long) life, he has always been an unlikely protector of the innocent. With his box of tricks and mystical singing, he’s sure to throw a wrench in the works.[4]
Default Variant[]
Gizmo's default look is largely based on his depiction from the original Gremlins movie duology, with a few tweaks here-and-there to match with his new design from the Max original Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai animated series.
