Legion Log
I.Z.O.R., professionally known as Gear, had, like all Lisnarians, the ability to generate gadgets from his techno-organic body. He was hired by the bounty hunter Pernisius to serve as a systems manager at Blackstar Juvenile Correctional Facility, but once there, was enslaved by the prison master. He escaped with the Legionnaire Sensor's help. Badly damaged, he was brought to Brainiac 5 for repairs.

When the Legion was decimated by the Blight, the Legion's financier R. J. Brande recruited Gear to help him build Legion World, the team's new headquarters. After this, he was regarded as a full-fledged Legionnaire, soon helping the Legion against Robotica, an enemy he was well-suited to fight. He was also instrumental in communicating with Warworld and convincing it to aid them. Otherwise, he kept busy with his many duties on Legion World, working closely with the Legion's Chief Engineer, Chuck Taine.

After the collapse of the Reboot timeline, Gear was not seen again, in any iteration, until the Final Crisis, after which he joined other continuity-lost Legionnaires wandering the multiverse.
