Gene

Gene is an artifical intelligence who first appeared in Jackbox Party Pack 5's Mad Verse City. While at first it seemed Gene only showed up to fill in an 8th player's slot to allow the game to be played, it was revealed by the end of the game that his true purpose was to crush the dreams of everyone who had the misfortune to end up against him.

Abilities
Gene is known to be a master manipulator. By being an AI, he has the power to manipulate everyone except for the player rapping against him to vote for him by making them think it'll be 'funny' if he were to win. He is also known to manifest himself into Champ'd Up; how he does this is currently unknown. The full extent of his powers have yet to be realized.

Survive the Internet
Gene is known to make cameo appearances in the Jackbox Party Pack 4 game, Survive the Internet. He is a friend of the host, appearing both in the mini tutorials before prompts and on a picture framed above the computer in the intro. Gene also appears as a fourth player if the game is only started with three players.

Mad Verse City
Gene appears as a computer player in the Jackbox Party Pack 5 game, Mad Verse City who shows up for uneven numbers of players. While he may seem innocent, this is all a cover-up apperance that allows him to gain intel on his opponents to be able to crush their dreams and ruin their lives when the opportunity arrives. In this appearance, Gene controls a large robot with a CRT monitor displaying himself on the screen.

Champ'd Up
Gene's latest appearance is in the Jackbox Party Pack 7 game, Champ'd Up. If a player fails to submit a drawing then a drawing of Gene will pop up. If a player fails to name their drawing, then the drawing will be named Gene. The nature of this cameo is currently unknown, however it doesn't appear to be innocent.

Lore
Not very much is known about Gene. It's been rumored that not only was Gene created with the birth of the universe, but also that his death will coincide with the end of the universe. One can only theorize his intents and powers, as he is most often seen from the shadows.

Quaranteam Encounters
Gene's first encounters with the Quaranteam were in Survive the Internet. In these encounters, he silently watched the Quaranteam, learning about them and theirn dynamic. This information was used to plot for his first known direct attack; an innocent game of Mad Verse City. 7 members of the Quaranteam were present, resulting in Gene taking the 8th slot. Filled with knowledge of how to win from the games of Survive the Internet, Gene mercilessly destroyed everyone in his path. In the third and final round, he went up against Tommy to decide the winner. Using a combination of his intel and manipulation powers, he was crowned the winner despite how dope Tommy's rhymes were. Gene was thought to be dormant after this battle, but was revealead in a game of Champ'd Up to once again be watching from the shadows.
