Mohawk (Gremlins)

Mohawk was the initial leader of the "new batch" of mogwai that formed from Gizmo during the events at the Clamp Center, so named due to his distinctive hairstyle; after turning into a gremlin, his hair turned into a long line of sharp, reptilian spines.

Mohawk seemed to be the strongest, fiercest Gremlin ever seen, capable of punching a fully grown human to the ground. He also had a sadistic streak, taking great pleasure in torturing Gizmo. Unlike his predecessor Stripe, who was an active leader, for the most part Mohawk seemed to simply let his followers wreak havoc in whatever ways they saw fit. (In fact, his leadership role was later taken over by Mr. Glasses.)

Like many of the Gremlins, he ended up in the Splice o'Life genetics laboratory. At first he had some fun playing with an assault rifle, and then he got his hands on a fluid that contained the genetic profile of a spider. After drinking it, he turned into a sort-of "spider centaur," everything from his waist down turning into the body of a giant spider. This "Spider Mohawk" spun webs throughout the Clamp Center, entrapping Kate Berringer and Marla Bloodstone. Mere moments before he could kill them, Gizmo took his revenge, shooting him with a miniature flaming arrow that set his entire body alight. Mohawk screamed horribly as he burned to death.
