History: The origins of the man known as Gaza are currently a mystery. He was apparently born in the Savage Land, a hidden "lost world" in Antarctica, and was mutated to his current form in some as-yet unexplained manner.
He and the other Savage Land Mutates first clashed with the mutant adventurers known as the X-Men on the latter's first trip to the Savage Land. The Mutates' mysterious "Master" ordered them to attack the visiting X-Men, but they were defeated.
Gaza has since been seen with the other Savage Land Mutates in their subsequent clashes with the Avengers and the Brotherhood of Mutants.

Role-Playing Notes:
Of all the Mutates, Gaza is perhaps the least villainous, being a man of honor. He sticks with the Mutates out of his sense of kinship to them, and works to keep the more sadistic of the Mutates in line.
Design Notes:
1. Gaza, and all the Savage Land Mutates, have their social traits calculated for TL8 campaigns. In campaigns set entirely in the Savage Land, remove Low TL -8 and raise Wealth to Average, a net increase of 55 points, and permit them to take 100% of their Wealth as Starting Cash ($250).
2. In Year Two or Year Three, the Savage Land Mutates' Patron will be revealed as none other than Apocalypse. As I am only chronicling Year One at this time, however, GMs are free to make their mysterious Patron whoever they wish.
