I was joking around with friends about Gex headcanons but then this happened.
A long time ago, in a wonderful decade known as "the 90's", three mad scientists were working on a shared thesis. This theory, created by NASA astronaut, married man, and father of four Rex the Gecko (his mom was an iguana but his dad was a gecko, you see), theorized that all of the fabric of TV and movies ended up in a separate dimension parallel to ours called The Media Dimension. While these three scientists were working their separate jobs, they were also all working on this in secret, hoping to rock both the world of science and the world of media with their discovery.
However, this was tragically cut short when Rex ended up in a space shuttle explosion involving a band-aid and tapioca pudding.
Shortly after this accident, his two best friends who were also working on the experiment, Dr. Mutz Von Schweinstein and Dr. Brian Skully, mysteriously vanished without a trace, taking all of their experiment notes with them.
I'm sure nothing bad happened. I'm sure Mutz and Brian weren't dragged into the Media Dimension and reconstructed into horrific monsters by the cybernetic remains of their best friend, who was now going to use the Media Dimension to control Earth. That'd be just nutty, and very convenient for a video game plot!
Oh boy, time for headcanons for a video game platformer not many people talk about!
Dr. Mutz Von Schweinstein
Species: White Yorkshire pig
Dr. Mutz Von Schweinstein is a strict individual who immigrated from Germany who looks scary and tough on the outside but shares a deep friendship with Rex and would defend him to the bitter end if he had to. No one knows how he met Rex, and the story always changes whenever you ask Rex about it. He has arthritis in his joints, especially in his legs, so he has minor problems getting around, usually using a cane for assistance walking. Because of this, Mutz has often joked about swapping his legs out for a fresh, new pair. He seems humorless, but when you catch him laughing, his laugh is said to have an almost maniacal oinky tinge to it.
His current status is unknown, but if the rumors are true, he found a new pair of legs in exchange for his sanity, courtesy of his best friend.
Favorite movies: Horror movies, especially intense slasher films.
Current alias: Mooshoo Pork
Dr. Rex the Gecko
Species: Iguana
Rex is both a wonderful husband and a wonderful father of four kids, but he was closest to his eldest son, Gex. While he was working on the Media Dimension as a side project, he was joking around with his son that, if he ever figured out a way to open a portal between the dimensions and enter the Media Dimension, he would do all he can to make Gex the mascot of the Media Dimension, the very face of this brand new world.
These words would later come back to haunt his son.
Rex was already experimenting a bit with making contact with The Media Dimension on the side while working at NASA - gotta completely nail the whole portal thing right before making an announcement to the world after all - so when he took a chance and opened up a portal to The Media Dimension to escape the massive spaceship explosion that everyone assumed took his life, he fell in a lot of liquid static along with a bunch of spaceship parts and globs of burning tapioca. Well, that's fine. Rebuilding his body with spaceship parts is fine. Maybe he could fix this somehow, but he needs his son to help him. Maybe he'll start building an empire. Everything's good.

Dr. Brian Skully
Species: Stump-tailed skink
Dr. Brian Skully is a fun-loving little lizard who believes that the 70's never ended and doesn't find joy in any movie or TV show that has the latest special effects. His goofy nature and very fluffy afro (that he refuses to trim down) hides a powerful brain that helped give him his NASA job, and he was a very cherished family friend of the Gecko family. Probably the least evil of the three of them. Probably.
His current status is unknown. I'm sure he wouldn't turn himself into a giant floating head that spits fire or anything, that'd be just ridiculous.
Favorite movies: Cheesy sci-fi films
Current alias: The Lizard of Oz
Yeah, this was a thought experiment that went on for way too long, but I had fun creating character designs for these three bosses. Plus if I'm going to go with the "Rez is Gex's father" theory, I might as well have a fun dad design for him and explain where some of his scary-looking bosses came from.
I almost made him a gecko, but honestly, iguana seemed like a funner choice and something that can rock the Rez colors a bit better. I know technically this breaks the rule of "but you see Gex's family in a photograph in Gex 1!" but honestly none of this is canon anyway, so I'm bending the rules a bit here with my Gex worldbuilding and saying that maybe he was at work when that photo was taken.
Maybe Gex has some siblings that are also iguanas who knows.
