History
When gay comic fans had been clamoring for a gay superhero to identify with, I don't think Extrano (meaning "strange") was what most homosexuals had in mind. Right away, he was the epitome of every cliched gay stereotype. His manners, his look, just about everything about him was so overly flamboyant to the point that most readers, gay and straight, simply cringed with embarrassment whenever they saw him. Worst yet, he was later bitten by a goblin who gave him the AIDS virus - in a time where most people couldn't think of homosexuality without also thinking of the deadly disease (this certainly didn't help matters). Nevertheless, there was a genuine sweetness and zest for life about Extrano that ultimately won most readers over to him.
Gregorio was one of the few chosen humans of Earth to take part in an experiment in human evolution during one of DC's worst inter-company crossovers ever called MILLENIUM. Gregorio and several others were then transformed into their ultimate selves, and the group spun off into their own title THE NEW GUARDIANS - which was, safe to say, quite possibly the lamest assemblage of characters ever introduced in comics in the entire history of the medium. To no one's surprise, the title was soon cancelled, and Extrano and his comrades faded into obscurity, never to be seen again.
Powers
Extrano can perform a variety of magical tasks as an avatar of Chaos, which isn't quite as bad as it sounds.
Additional Notes
Extrano made his triumphant return within the Gay League fan-created fiction serial "Freedom Fighters," as a spirit guide for the new team of all-gay superheroes - proving there are no such thing as bad characters.
