Genesis, (full title: Gene the Genie) also called The Most Magical Magician and Gene for short is a Genie who lives in the Land of Ooo. Initially created as a stand-alone character, he has since been adopted as one of the main characters in the DHK Episodes.

Background

Gene stated that he came into being thousands of years ago, and was born to meet the greed of humans. In his flashbacks he showed that humans often came to him seeking anything from common household items to unbelievable wonders, and almost always paid the price he demanded. Having lived for decades serving the demands of humans, Gene had become embittered towards the species, and sees humans as only greedy and selfish creatures.

Gene recalled the mushroom war once, stating that it was "just another human mistake". In the aftermath of the war, Gene took to living withing a mansion in a cave beyond the lava-tipped mountains, and though he rarely expects visitors, he still grants the desires of people who seek him out.

At some point in the past, Gene met Marceline the Vampire Queen, an encounter she has forbidden him to speak about. It was later revealed that they had a traffic light relationship which mostly ended because of Marceline's self-doubt. Now that Marceline is with Bonnibel, they remain as friends, although talking about their past is still forbidden.

At another time, he met and battled Magic Man, though the results of the conflict remain unknown. Yet they have been rivals since and constantly try to get in each others way. Approximately 20 years before the start of the story, Gene constructed the Taffy Tower on the outskirts of the Candy Kingdom. In it, he placed the Ring of Doing Things.

Appearance

Gene appears to be a tall, thin, light-blue, pointed-eared humanoid with short-cut dark blonde hair. Gene almost always wears jeans and a blue-spotted Hawaiian shirt over a grey undershirt. However, due to his nature as a genie, his appearance can change into anything at anytime, and Gene has been seen with horns, a curly mustache, a tail, etc. More extremely, he has turned himself into a dragon or tree, and is shown able to change even his gender at will.

Personality and traits

Gene is an extremely eccentric person, and lot of the things he does is 'spur-of-the-moment'.

He is shown to dutifully fulfill the wishes of any human who encounters him, although he almost always demands some sort of payment. The 'payment' he demands seems to vary from person to person: flashbacks show him asking for money, food, or life-energy, yet when Finn asked him to spy on Princess Bubblegum, Gene asked to eat one of Finn's socks.

Despite his claimed neutrality in the Land of Ooo, Gene is shown favoring one side over the other in conflicts, usually for his own enjoyment. He assisted Finn and Jake during their battle against the Lava Lord (calling the Lord too "Hot-headed" for [his] tastes), but also has been known to work against the Candy Kingdom on one occasion; having reversed everyone's directions in the entire kingdom because it made him laugh.

He has a deep-seated resentment of humans, as he believes that they are selfish and greedy. This led him to be surprised when Finn asked him for a selfless favor when they first meet, and prompts him to not only do it for free, but provide Finn with the "Evil-Guy-Slaying Sword".

Powers and abilities

Magic

As a genie; Gene can do absolutely anything a human asks him to do, short of murder. While he almost always asks for some sort of payment in return for his services, it is revealed that the payment is not required, magically, for him to do anything.

He is shown creating objects and money out of thin air, sending people over vast distances, curing fears, giving people magic abilities, and freezing time for short periods. He was able to make the "Evil-Guy-Slaying-Sword", which is capable of instantly defeating any monster that the wielder would otherwise be unable to defeat. Gene also made the "Ring of Doing Things", a magical artifact of great power. He at one point granted Finn the ability to spy on Princess Bubblegum temporarily by turning Finn into a ghost-like creature. When displaying these powers, he usually says "zap" and shoots lightning-bolts at a target (out of his eyes or fingertips, but at least once using a toe), which then is changed according to his desires.

Gene almost always floats wherever he goes, having been shown standing on the ground or walking on few occasions. He will often floats upside-down for unknown reasons. He also possesses several miscellaneous abilities, such as teleportation, transporting himself to the Land of the Dead, possessing others, and generating cotton candy from his ears. It can be assumed that, due to being a genie, the true extent of his powers may be limited only by his own imagination.

Musical

Gene can play bongos and drums, but has claimed to have no singing talents worth speaking about. Despite this, he still sang alongside Jake to motivate Finn.

Weapons

Gene's mansion is shown to have hundreds of weapons, including swords, axes, guns and even a rocket launcher, hanging from the walls. He is only ever shown 'wielding' the "Evil-Guy-Slaying-Sword", when he demonstrated it's powers by zapping a Cyclops with it.

Despite the vast arsenal at his disposal, Gene rarely needs weapons to fight, as he often just teleports danger away from him over great distances with a snap of his fingers.
