* HandicappedBadass: If Foregoes the use of bionic eyes despite Kincaid getting one in the previous series (and functional artificial eyes having existed at least since the ''Zeta'' era according to [[AllThereInTheManual some sourcebooks]]). Still, if you think being blind is going to slow him down, think again...

Repair Dont Respond. furthermore, there are no bionic eyes in Zeta Gundam. Bask Om wears goggles for some reason, but his natural eyes are perfectly functional without them.


** Which is strange since bionic eyes have been around at least since ''Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam''.

Added DiffLines:

** This even extends to his Gundam. He's still using the Double Zeta, but after countless decades he's long since run out of spare parts, leaving it a frankensteinian patchwork of scrap metal, complete with what appears to be a peg leg, that no longer has the ability to transform. Virtually the only original part of it that's still in perfect working order is its head, due to being encased in a gigantic, tube-like covering and only exposed to fire its fearsome [[WaveMotionGun hyper mega particle cannon]].

* AcePilot: Being a Newtype helps, but he also has a penchant for off-the-wall tactics that few of his enemies see coming. After the events of Steel Seven, he's left blind. After having the Crossbone Gundam refurbished, he trains with a special sound system designed to allow him to recognize what weapons are being used against him by the sound they make, allowing him to go back to being a terribly effective pilot and defeat new mobile suits with his comparatively outdated one.

An old, mysterious Jovian trader who runs his own ''Jupitris''-class vessel and owns a beat-up looking mobile suit called the Gump. He meets Tobia in order to help him stop Jovian extremists from exploiting Amuro Ray's combat data in ''Skull Heart.'' It's also revealed however that he and the Gump [[MobileSuitGundamZZ have seen their share of adventures]]. He also reappears in a ''Victory Gundam'' sidestory alongside Usso Evin.

Not to mention having said copies have versions of his own Mobile Armor, the Divinidad...which itself has a payload of several nukes.
