Dizmo's other student. I'm thinking about changing his design but here he is for now. I'll put this guy in my character section when I make a better reference for him.

Long description once again, and things may change from now until the day he gets put into the comic (it will be a long long while...).

Family: Unknown family, but Dizmo Waltz acts like a father figure to him.

Newton's backstory: Newton is a feisty young penguin with a very large head, both literally and figuratively. While his origins are unknown, he is completely convinced that he is an alien from deep outer space, destined to take over Earth and other planets in the future. He lives inside a large, disco ball-shaped satellite orbiting Earth, along with Dizmo Waltz and Tuttles. As Dizmo is his mentor, and a high-ranking official in the JPS organization, this makes Newton part of the JPS as well.

Newton's Personality: Newton has a very large ego for such a short stature. He likes to talk himself up as being a future conqueror of worlds, and thus, doesn't always like to obey rules. When he doesn't get his way, he throws powerful tantrums that can be dangerous to those around him. Dizmo tries to control him as best he can. Like any young boy, Newton is also very competitive and rarely cheats at games or sports to prove himself. He is also very headstrong (ha ha!) and tries to achieve even his most impossible goals. Tuttles and Newton fight a lot, but Newton usually get his way because Tuttles is shy and Newton screams the loudest.

Newton's Talents: His large cranium holds extraordinary psychic power that is rather unstable. His psychic powers perform the best when he is able to fully concentrate and is non-emotional. Newton is also extremely smart, just like Dizmo and Tuttles. Newton prefers to build large, grandiose contraptions and weapons several times his size (his inventions also are more sound than Tuttles' inventions - which go horribly wrong on occasion). Out of the three of them, Newton is also the best at mathematics and calculating huge numbers in seconds. His penguin-ness also makes him a very fast swimmer, and slider. He's also very resistant to cold temperatures.

Weaknesses: His psychic powers cannot activate if Newton can't concentrate, and his powers become uncontrollable in times where he is crying or throwing a tantrum. Lack of sleep, loud noises and fast movement can break his concentration and shut him down. Newton is not a very fast runner with his flippers, and becomes physically exhausted very quickly (unless he's swimming). Hot temperatures do him no favours with his penguin blubber and feathers.

Fighting Style: He uses his aforementioned psychic powers, as well as his invented weapons. Newton's weapons in particular are large, structurally sound, and very difficult to take down for most people.
