Ramona tries to leave through Subspace, but Gideon stops her escape by impaling her, and then teleports himself into her mind.
Using The Glow, Gideon manipulates their emotions, causing them to argue with each other. It is then revealed that Gideon is keeping six of his other ex-girlfriends suspended in cryogenic stasis on the ceiling of Chaos Theater, enabling him to thaw and date any one of them at any time of his choosing, and desired to add Ramona to the final capsule. Scott returns to life thanks to the 1-Up he gained from defeating Todd Ingram, and he and Ramona begin to fight Gideon. Gideon ends up stealing the Power of Love from Scott and impaling him with it. Later, after confronting his mistakes by merging with NegaScott, Scott goes to the Chaos Theater to confront Gideon once and for all. Scott is so frightened by Gideon's presence, he immediately runs away. In Volume 6, Scott encounters Gideon on the street while he and Envy Adams are talking about their past. Scott, fighting Gideon's monstrous, god-like form inside Ramona's head Though the shadowy figure's face is never revealed, it can be assumed this was Gideon, or at least a manifestation of him representing the part of Ramona still attached to him.Īt the end of Volume 5, Scott receives a phone call from Gideon to taunt him, asking when would be a convenient time for him to die. This is the same question Ramona asks when first attacked by Knives in Volume 2, possibly suggesting that Gideon often hires assassins.Īlso in Volume 4 and 5, Scott accidentally intrudes upon Ramona's head and finds her kneeling beside a sinister dark figure sitting on a throne. Roxanne's first line upon seeing him is "Did Gideon send you?" which sends her into a rage believing no one has any faith in her, starting the fight. In Volume 4, Gideon is referenced to by Roxie Richter when Scott leads Knives' father, bent on killing him, into Ramona's house, and the two face off with katanas. Judging from his response, he is not impressed. It's safe to assume Gideon didn't come to see the show, but to size up Scott while he fought Todd. He also appears again at the end during Sex Bob-omb's performance telling the recording crew following The Clash At Demonhead "No comment" and giving us a darkened profile view of him. The largest of the three flashbacks, right after his own father and Lynette Guycott, is Gideon saying "Just use your vegan powers or whatever, he'll never know what hit him, right?"
In Volume 3, during Scott's battle with Todd Ingram, Ramona's third Evil Ex, Todd has a mental breakdown while overwhelmed by his own vegan powers and a series of flashbacks as the pair battle/race through Honest Ed's department store. "No comment." Gideon appearing at a Sex Bob-Omb show to observe Scott Whilst there, Gideon altered some of Scott's memories, adding his likeness to Simon Lee, Kim's ex and "enemy" of Scott's. Gideon used this opportunity to form the League of Ramona's Evil Exes, which he would use to control the future of Ramona's love life.Īt some point in between Volume 1 and 2 (most likely soon after Matthew Patel's defeat), Gideon started spying on Scott and Ramona through Scott's Subspace. This got the attention of Ramona's other six evil exes who contacted him. After Ramona left, Gideon got totally wasted out of his mind and put up a huge drunken rant on Craigslist about her. Ramona, filled with intense emotions, became overwhelmed by The Glow and vanished into Subspace, taking the letter with her. Unfortunately for Ramona, Gideon walked in on her just as she finished the letter. Fed up with him constantly pushing her away, Ramona decided to leave Gideon, leaving nothing except a letter. Despite Ramona's feelings for him, Gideon saw his relationship with Ramona purely as an experiment, during which he inflicted Ramona with The Glow. Gideon first met Ramona at a party in New York and the two quickly formed a relationship.
The latter is more likely, since Gideon is the only one who knows how to fully control the Glow. It is not clear, though, if this means he sold the Glow to other people, or if he used the Glow to manipulate people into buying his company's products. Gideon once claimed the Glow is what has made him his millions. He eventually made his fortune by setting up a successful career as a music mogul, at which point he took the alias of "G-Man". Little is known of Gideon Graves' origins. 1.3 Memory manipulation and observation.
