Captain Gideon is the former A.I. system of the Waverider and a member of the Legends of Tomorrow. After the destruction of the Waverider, Gideon was resurrected by Astra Logue and returned in a human body.
Biography[edit source]
Early Life[edit source]
Gideon was created as the artificial intelligence system for the Timeship Waverider, the vehicle for Captain Rip Hunter of the Time Masters.[7]
Legends of Tomorrow[edit source]
In 2015, Hunter recruited multiple individuals from the timeline and founded the Legends of Tomorrow. Gideon soon monitored the team and expressed her concerns over the team's instability to Hunter. However, Hunter installed a program for her to diverge her priority to protecting the Legends over safeguarding the timeline.[7]
After the Legends' first mission, Ray Palmer, Leonard Snart, Carter Hall and Sara Lance started an argument before Gideon threatened to open the airlock to eject them all to the Temporal Zone. The four soon obeyed Gideon and separated.[7]
For the later years, Gideon assisted the Legends in multiple journeys and missions across time. Gideon was also forced to witness the painful deaths of multiple Legends including Martin Stein, Behrad Tarazi and her first captain, Rip Hunter. All the tragedies were processed by Gideon's more analytic side in order for her to maintain peak performance.[7]

Glitching[edit source]
In 2020, Gideon suffered from a virus-like situation and spoke gibberish as well as not working well.[8] Later, Behrad and Nate fixed her and realized that the virus was instead a message from an alternate timeline version of Zari.[9]
