Gates (dates unknown) was an English professional cricketer who made 8 known appearances in major cricket matches from 1794 to 1807.
He was mainly associated with Berkshire and also played for Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC).
Ti'julk Mr'asz, codename Gates, is a fictional character, a member of the Legion of Super-Heroes in the DC Universe. Like all natives of the planet Vyrga, Gates has a largely insectoid body. He is also noted for his strong political views, tending towards socialism.
Gates was the third non-biped member (after Quislet and Tellus) in the history of the Legion (the first after the 1994 Reboot). He was also unique amongst Legionnaires in being their only unwilling member, having been drafted by his planetary government to represent them in the Legion (which he perceived as being militaristic and inherently fascist). Apparently Gates is one of the very few free-thinkers on his homeworld; the rest are unindividualistic conformists.
Gates has played key roles in many missions; his tactics enabled Star Boy to defeat Validus of the Fatal Five and he was able to resist the Emerald Eye's possession. Gates was part of the Legion team that was stranded in the 20th century for a time, where he came up with the strategy to defeat Mantis, and forged a close friendship with teammate Brainiac 5. Gates also joined Ultra Boy in helping out at soup kitchens during their stay.
Farewell you beloved earth and skies
Blessed forever you will be
For when she began gently her dance
The fair below the crystal moon
It all into nothingless fell
If hardly a bit the eye will recall
If once again chaos enters
...her face so pale and noble
With it's twilight, dawn, earth and skies
Our world still had a meaning...
...It to the dancer once gave life
