Biography[]
Gyrus was raised by a robotic mother and because of this he always felt alone. He always wanted to be someone important and wanted to be like the Hyperforce. Not much else is known about his early life. His original mother shown in one of his memories may have also been a robot like his new robot mother.
He first appeared in the episode A Man Called Krinkle. He works for the Clean Ops which are the janitors that clean the city after the Hyperforce‘s vast and messy battles. As a result, he became one of the biggest fans of the Hyperforce and even went as far as to request Chiro for an application for membership to the team. Chiro politely turns his request down. Krinkle was fired from Clean Ops under the grounds of excessive creepiness. He builds a model robot Tekroid 8-88, and leaves it outside the Super Robot, where Sparx discovers it and brings it inside as a present for Chiro. He also creates the Mechaspider, a giant robot arachnid that the Hyperforce must destroy, "just so [he] could see them."
Krinkle's further requests to join the Hyperforce are turned down, making him desperate and realising that he needs to have Chiro eliminated in order to induct into the Monkey Team. He activates the Tekroid, resulting it in taking over Chiro and turning him it into a giant version of the toy. Wearing a costume of Chiro, Krinkle hypnotises the Monkey Team into attacking Chiro. When that plan fails, Krinkle activates a Quark Detonator, which would destroy the entirety of the Super Robot and the park. He's talked out of his suicidal plan by Chiro, who convinces him to deactivate the bomb by lying to him that he would give him a position within the Hyperforce. Krinkle is then taken to the Moonbase Theta Prison Complex, Shuggazoom's moon prison on Ranger 7, where he's locked in a padded cell of a mental ward, happily chattering to himself about his imaginary great adventures with the Hyperforce.
His next appearance is in the episode Incident on Ranger 7. During his time in prison, he becomes an evil genius by reprogramming the prison guards and building a machine called neuro-matter reconfigutron, which transforms matter into thought waves. Using this machine, Krinkle kidnaps Chiro and beams him directly into his mind, where he has created a virtual replica of Chiro's home called Krinklezoom, trapping Chiro in it. Chiro realizes that this is Krinkle’s world and Krinkle controls all the aspects of it. After the Monkey Team were also beamed into Krinkle's world, they and Chiro briefly team up with him in fighting against the Cheesebot. After defeating the Cheesebot, Antauri uses his mind welding ability on Krinkle in order to find a way out of Krinkle's mind, which shocks Krinkle and results in the creation of fissures in Krinkle's world. The Hyperforce attacks these fissures, resulting in the destruction of Krinkle's world and managed to get out of Krinkle’s mind, whereas Krinkle disappeared forever after the neuro-matter reconfigutron machine, malfunctioning from the destruction of the world in his mind, sucked him in and exploded.
Personality[]
Krinkle is generally a happy, determined, hopeful, selfish, creepy and clingy man, unless his deluded fantasies get interrupted, insulted, or he's mocked. Then he becomes moody, irritable and stubborn, prone to psychotic fits of rage. He lives in his own fantasy world, where he's beloved and adored by thousands of people, proving that he suffers from a pathological need for approval, love and affection, probably derived from living with a highly intelligent but uncaring robotic mother (that he presumably built himself) and no father. While an impressive technical genius and painter, he's also mentally unstable and, according to Antauri, "extremely dangerous." He's also in great fear of his robot mom, whom he addresses as "Mother." He may be suffering from BPD.
Appearance[]
Krinkle is an extremely thin, gangly man who appears to be somewhere in his thirties. His skin is dank, and a greyish pale shade. He has short, blue hair, and beady black eyes.
Trivia[]
- His personality is notably similar to Mandarin’s, another psychopathic villain on the show. They both have similar dreams.
- Krinkle grew up with a robotic mother, who, while being excellent at differential equations, lacked the warmth he felt was necessary for a growing young boy.
- Krinkle's CleanOps Tech Number is 06751.
- Krinkle's fired from the CleanOps on the grounds of "excessive creepiness."
- When Krinkle was incarcerated in the Ranger-7 Prison, he spent his time painting portraits, several of which featured cats, and all of which featured sad and crying eyes.
- Krinkle is probably unaware that Mandarin used to be the leader of the Monkey Team. This means that he was born during a different time.
- Some fans argue that Gyrus could’ve been alright if he had just talked to someone about his worries. He tried this with Chiro but the boy lacked interest and showed no sympathy.
