Who is Don?

Origin Bill & Don were science experiments of Ramon Lipshitz ( Gomi's cousin) and his partner Tadishi Fujita. Their scientific knowledge was said to be on a par with that of Reed Richards or Doctor Doom . They worked for a local university and were based in a small shack under a lighthouse. There they began their experimentation of cybernetic organisms by surgically embedding two lobsters with strength enhancing implants. Gomi, as their unpaid lab assistant, cared for the two lobsters and named them. The 'normal' green lobster became Bill , while the 'mutant' blue lobster was named Don. When the university withdrew their financial backing and threatened to audit Ramon & Tadishi's experiments, the two of them fled. Gomi was left to take care of himself, Don & Bill until the Fallen Angels discovered them.
