History

Gary Niceguy was the son of Sarcastic Lad, conceived during his trip to the moon with Master Blaster. He wanted to join the LNH as his father's sidekick, under the name Smart Alec, but was turned down and had to work with Golden Man instead. Over time he came to reluctantly admire Golden Man and wanted to follow in his footsteps, taking the name Golden Lad. But he'd also met a woman who made that a lot more difficult for him: Madelyne Frost, alias Daisy Dukes. They started an affair, and she sought to lure him down the path of evil.

When Jennifer Frost took over Teenfactor, she brought in Golden Lad as a new member, unaware that he was involved with her sister. He soon left the team and joined Daisy Dukes's band of minions, who impersonated a net.hero team. Under her tutelage he did terrible things, until her plots were cut short by her death.

Any hope of Gary returning to net.herodom was gone, so instead he became a successful talk-show host. Many years later, while he was interviewing another retired net.hero, Alicia Avenue, the Bigrenghuys invaded Net.ropolis. They went back into battle against the invaders; though they accomplished very little, it felt good. Gary decided to seek redemption by rejoining the LNH.

Gary and Alicia then joined a band of net.heroes who had set out to solve the mystery of a stone creature that had stolen Lunchbox Lass's mystic lunchbox. They found that it was one of a race of demons called the Terrible Ones, who had blackmailed Dennis William Marker to serve them by capturing his wife, Adreanna. Groundswell led some of the net.heroes into the underground labyrinth of the Terrible Ones to confront them, while Gary stayed behind and to keep watch over Adreanna. But he impulsively charged into battle to save Groundswell, leaving Adreanna behind. When he returned, he found that she was dead.

Personality

When he was younger he was highly sarcastic, attempting to emulate his father. Later on he mellowed out a lot, but he is still dangerously reckless, partially because of his guilt.

Powers and Abilities

Originally he had control over the Golden Aura, similar to Golden Man. More recently his powers seem to have diminished to only super-strength and flight.
