History

Originally, Mike Escutia planned to have a character named Gestalt Lad as his Writer Character. But he was switched out at the last moment for Pliable Lad, and sent to Limbo.

The character-in-waiting did not remain in Limbo, however. He returned, bitter, unhinged, and calling himself Jestalt, ready to wreak his vengeance upon Pliable Lad. He merged with the Ultimate Ninja and attacked Pli ferociously. But when Mike Escutia himself appeared, Jestalt left the Ninja behind, merging himself, Pli, and their author into a single being, a battle for control of the mental plane raging. But he was tricked and defeated, merging himself into an immobile form, seemingly for good.

But when Retcon Hour hit, the original, heroic Gestalt Lad appeared. And when the timeline was reconfigured without Pliable Lad into the world known as Retcon Midnight, Gestalt Lad had always been a hero, one of the few remaining members of the LNH after Doctor Armaggeddon took over the world.

After the timeline was set right, Gestalt Lad still existed, an effect of the wild reality-warping of Retcon Hour. He took up Pliable Lad's discarded identity of Kid Unknown, working in secret as a hero to hunt down his villainous counterpart.

Two years later, he found him. Using his gestalt-sensing abilities, Gestalt Lad reached into Jestalt and pulled out the source of his problems – a blue-skinned, pointy-eared demon from Limbo, who had forced a merger all those years ago. Healed, Jestalt merged with Gestalt Lad, forming a single being, renouncing their powers, and going on to lead a normal life.
