Perry Walters, short in stature but great in intellect, collected his first PhD from CalTech when he was only 15. He has an extensive list of patents to his name. He decided to become more than a wealthy industrialist and after a brief but intense training period, he developed an arsenal of crimefighting tools and embarked on a career as the heroic Widget. He tried to join the Victory Squad but was practically laughed out of the auditions. He and some of the other "cast offs" formed the Atomic Rangers. Although he's been accused of having "Short Man's Syndrome", Perry has never considered himself angry or overcompensating for anything. He has an incurable scientific curiosity and a desire to experience new things. He also holds his fellow man in high regard and has sworn to protect the innocent from the machinations of a gaggle of morally stunted intellectuals. "Here, catch." "I wonder what this does." Skilled in a variety of sciences, Widget has produced a veritable arsenal of equipment in which to fight crime. He also has spent much of the last three years rigorously training his body, and has become a skilled, if unorthadox hand to hand fighter. A short man, but thickly muscular. He has thick black hair and beard, brown eyes and an infectious grin. He wears a gray jump suit with black boots, gloves, and utility belt. His holster and combat harness are white. THere is a white "W" in a black circle on his right shoulder. He wears a headset/goggle combination but doesn't try to hide who he is.
