G-Gnome

G-Gnomes are small genomorph creatures, engineered by Cadmus to possess the power of telepathy. Their name is a play on the word "genome".

Biology
G-Gnomes are small, four legged white creatures with black stripes on their heads, and short horns with red eyes. The G-Gnomes possess telepathy, allowing them to communicate with each other. The telepathy also allows them to mentally control people, most notably Guardian, and to teach people, as seen in the case of Superboy.

History
The G-Gnomes were created by Cadmus and produced in huge numbers. They acted like the surveillance system in the Cadmus facility in Washington, D.C., alerting each other when intruders were spotted. Each staff member at Cadmus kept a G-Gnome on their shoulder at all times, this allowed Mark Desmond to use the G-Gnomes' telepathy to mentally subjugate his staff, preventing them from disagreeing with him.

On July 4, when Robin, Kid Flash and Aqualad infiltrated Cadmus, they were confronted by Guardian, who greeted the three heroes when he found them, before the G-Gnome on his shoulder used telepathy to control him, he attacked the three heroes.

They escaped, and found the sixteen week old clone of Superman, Superboy. Superboy was being controlled by three G-Gnomes, and attacked and captured them. After Robin, Kid Flash and Aqualad escaped with the help of Superboy, the G-Gnomes gave chase, and attacked them. The G-Gnomes completely incapacitated the heroes, but they let them go free under the orders of Dubbilex, another Cadmus genomorph, who believed that Superboy could blaze a trail and allow all genomorphs to be free.

When Guardian was appointed as the new leader of Cadmus by The Light, he stopped the use of G-Gnomes controlling people's minds.

In the Young Justice Issue 1, a G-Gnome is the Main Antogonist, this one is one of the three that was responsible for Superboy's brainwashing. It missed the young clone and followed him to Mount Justice, where it created an illusion of the Joker. Once it was discovered that the G-Gnome was responsible, Red Tornado brought it back to Cadmus.

Abilities
Telepathy- G-Gnomes have been shown to be powerful enough to control other Genomorphs, with the exception of Dubbilex. However, it was shown that Superboy was able to break free of its mind control.
