Gears Garvin: Difference between revisions

What '''Gears Garvin''' doesn't know about mechanics, he learns. Owner and sole proprietor of a [[New York City]] auto yard and repair shop, Gears is always ready with a quick fix for any mechanism that breaks down, and a quip while he works – but don't call him '''Oswald F. Garvin''' unless you want a trip to the emergency room.

 

After they met by chance, [[Machine Man]] was so impressed by Gears' technical aptitude that he has become one of the superhero's close confidants... though Gears' boorishness clashes with [[Peter Spaulding]]'s straight and narrow sensibilities.

==Fiction==

Gears owned the repair shop and may have done so for at least eight years. Once, he had a fiancée, but she called off the engagement after he spent the honeymoon fund on parts for his motorbike. He stood by the decision; she went on to go through three husbands, while he still had the hog. {{storylink|Baron Brimstone and his Sinister Satan Squad!}}
