Really, what's he been up to since
Angel ended? This guy should have a starring role already. While chatting with

lesbiassparrow earlier, we realized he hasn't really done much since
Angel, and we consider this a crime. As such, I am willingly sacrificing my sleep to spread the love.
Gunn was the sole regular minority character in Angel(depending on how strict in defining "minority" you want to be as far as Willow being both Jewish and homosexual, but white, some would say the entire Buffyverse. Whedon and minority representation is something I refuse to get into, as both sides are rather rabid. And I don't count non-humans here as minority representatives), showing up near the end of season 1 of
Angel and becoming a regular from season 2 onward. Introduced as the buttkicking (and smart) leader of a street gang of vampire hunters, he joined the Angel team at the beginning of season 2. Aside from Cordy, he was the only one who really got, on a regular basis, the monster just beneath Angel's skin. I love him almost as much as I love Cordy, and some of you know how all encompassing my love for Cordy is. Sadly, he was also a rather underused character. I remain sorrowful that they did not keep Gwen so she and Gunn could become a buttkicking, electrifying, monster killing, occassionally thieving OTP.
But that's ok, nothing could detract from his awesomeness. He is so awesome that
Supernatural TPTB felt compelled to create a character who was essentially Gunn gone horribly wrong as a sort of twisted homage, I supect.

( clicky )I shall now go pass out.
