History: Like the other original Runaways, Gertrude "Gert" Yorkes was born after her parents and the other members of the Pride decided to pass on their inheritance from the Gibborim to their children. Gert's parents, Dale and Stacey Yorkes, were time-travelers, and often utilized their 4-D Time Portico to complete the Pride work across multiple eras. Growing up, Gert was only close with Nico Minoru. Gert was a smart, clever, cynical, and sarcastic girl with socialist leanings who often frank and abrasive with others. Gert began to suspect her parents were secretly evil after Orwell, her pet potbelly pig, mysteriously disappeared.
Along with Alex Wilder, Nico Minoru and Chase Stein, Gert witnessed her parents and the Pride sacrifice Destiny Gonzales for the Ritual of Blood. She was a vocal proponent for turning the Pride over to the authorities. While searching for evidence and the body in the Yorkes basement, the Runaways stubbled onto a holographic message from her parents, the Pride's Abstract, and a genetically engineered dinosaur from the future with a telepathic link to Gert. After rescuing Molly, narrowly escaping their parents, and taking refuge in The Hostel, Gert suggested taking on new codenames to start over without the influence of their parents. She chose the codename Arsenic and named her new pet velociraptor Old Lace. The pair were immediately connected, and their bond continued to strengthen with time.
After Alex's betrayal and apparent death, Gert, Old Lace and Chase were fighting Dormammu. Gert and Old Lace were sent through an unstable portal. However, only Gert managed to come out of it, whereas Old Lace seems to have been destroyed. Due to Old Lace's death, Gert is now amnesiac and wandered around the streets for a while, carrying a piece of Old Lace's skin. She was eventually found by her fellow Runaways, but she still can't remember anything.
Equipment: Old Lace (formerly)
Powers: Gert is telepathically and empathically link to her genetically engineered deinonychus, Old Lace. This empathic bond with Old Lace enabled Gertrude to mentally command and communicate with Old Lace. Additionally, Old Lace is fiercely loyal to Gert, and has been programmed not to harm any member of the Yorkes immediate family. However, Gert and Old Lace also share the pain any injuries they other sustains. When Old Lace was disintegrated in the unstable portal, Gert not only lost her telepathic and empathic link, but she also lost all of her memories.
Abilities: Before becoming amnesiac, Gert was a very good drummer and keyboard player, and she was quite knowledgeable in math, history and science.
Weaknesses: Mortal
Trivia:
-Gert's codename "Arsenic" and the name of her pet dinosaur "Old Lace" were chosen as a reference to the 1944 dark comedy Arsenic and Old Lace, directed by Frank Capra. Based on the play of the same name, the film is about a man that learns on his wedding day that bride-to-be has homicidal aunts and a family history of insanity.
-She's 5'7" tall.
