Burbank

Gender: Male

First Appearance: "The Reckoning"

Other Appearances: "Genesis Undone"

Burbank is a clone of Hudson, created by Dr. Anton Sevarius for Thailog and Demona, for their Clone Clan. He was grown to what was Hudson's physical peak age, but the rapid growth left him altered from the form of the original source, most notably in that he was significantly miscolored. Demona named him, and Thailog programmed him simply- he was to 'obey Thailog.' Like the rest of the Clone Clan, Burbank was sent against the Manhattan Clan, but he was defeated. Talon adopted the Clone Clan, and planned to teach them to think for themselves.

In the Goliath Chronicles, Burbank contracted a degenerative virus that was supposedly the result of a flaw in the cloning process. The Manhattan Clan brought the Clone Clan to Dr. Sevarius for help, but he tricked them into chasing after an escaping Thailog, and, while doing so, Burbank petrified. His statue was placed atop a building, awaiting the time when a cure for their condition can be found.

Burbank was physically identical to Hudson, and possessed the same traits and abilities as he and any other gargoyle possess. He had wings that enabled him to glide, fangs, sharp claws and talons that could dig into stone, a prehensile tail, and eyes that glowed when he was enraged. However, Burbank's eyes glowed red, not white, as most male gargoyles' do. Because he was at Hudson's physical peak, he was somewhat stronger than the gargoyle he was cloned from. When the sun rose, Burbank entered a regenerative 'stone sleep,' during which his wounds healed at a faster rate.
