Despite (or perhaps) how scanty the information in the show is, I find that I like this guy.
The Grey Gargoyle
I'd love to see him put into a Suicide Squad-like setting, because there are glimpses of a finicky, snarky character there. Throw Chemistro and Living Laser in, call them the Jobbers of Evil, and give them an apartment in New Jersey. Wackiness ensues.
If it were a commercial for a TV show:

Kinky. I love getting stoned.
