Stan Gibbon

Stanley “Stan” Gibbon is a recurring character in Speed Racer: The Next Generation. He is the loyal, but dimwitted associate of Zile Zazic.

Biography
Stan is Zile’s loyal associate in Zazic Industries, always carrying out his orders when asked to do so. However, due to his own stupidity, he is often the reason why Zile’s schemes fail as he incorrectly carries out orders. Despite his dense nature, Stan is proven to be an excellent driver in races, and was able to compete with the Zazic Tough Ranger 8000 during Dickie Ranford’s racing event in “Comet Run." He and Zile came in third place all throughout the three-day race.

His main trait is always asking/eating chocolate chip cookies as he craves them constantly throughout the series. He is also a nice man who often likes to befriend people and apologizes when something goes wrong.

Sometime in the past, he participated in Zile’s scheme to sabotage Speed Racer Sr.’s prototype Mach 6, which directly resulted in the death of Toughie Treadwell and the injuries of Trixie Racer.

Description
Stan can best be described as a lummox. He’s a person with a large physique, making it difficult for him to perform covert operations for Zile. He is bald and always wears an olive green suit.

When driving in a race, his racing attire is purple with a large red letter “G” at the center of his torso.

Shadow World
In the alternate universe that is dominated by the Shadow Committee, Stan is a genius and a member of Zile's resistance. He is able to understand and explain scientific data. He's also capable of devising plans as he assisted in the resistance's espionage mission to steal files owned by the Committee. Though Stan in this universe may be intelligent, he still retains his original counterpart’s craving of cookies.

Future
With the past now altered thanks to Speed and his friend interfering with Zile’s sabotage, and having him sentenced to prison earlier (along with Stan), Stan no longer has his body. He is a brain in a jar with a speaker headset. It’s not known what happened to Stan’s physical body, but one can assume that he was caught in an accident that rendered his body useless.

He, along with Zile, escaped from Speed and his friends, as they successfully time traveled with the usage of the hourglass, never to be seen again.

Trivia

 * He refers to Zile as "Mr. Z."
 * His stupidity is what kept forcing Zile to relocate to different hideouts to escape from the Committee because Stan kept giving away their location via technology.
 * Stan is a mama's boy.
 * He, along with Zile (who was known as Captain Terror at the time) raced against Speed Racer Sr., as seen in "Plot for Teacher."
 * It would appear that Stan was a part of the Car Acrobatic Team, as his racing uniform uses the letter "G," much like how all members of that group have a letter on their racing outfits.
 * The cops refer to Stan as "Mr. Kowalski," though the exact reason for this is unknown.
