Gatlin is a human martial artist and veteran of the Super Fight tournament who fights with the rapid-fire Multi-Hit Style. Nicknamed Rapid Hitting Rhythm, he overwhelms opponents by burying them under blistering barrages of punches.
A young man, Gatlin sweeps his dark hair over to one side, and shadowed markings ring a pair of mismatched eyes, the left a pale blue and the right red. His outfit pairs a teal hooded top with a black shirt, black shorts, and boots, and both arms are wrapped in bandages. His gloves are printed with the muzzle of a gatling gun, a nod to his fighting style.
His temperament is largely a mystery, though the tournament reveals him to be a genuinely capable fighter. His nerve stands out most when Gouketsu presses the competitors to turn themselves into monsters: even facing an opponent far stronger than himself, and even as others give in, Gatlin finds the courage to turn the offer down.
Gatlin enters the Super Fight tournament inside the C-City Super Stadium during the Monster Raid Arc, marking his fourth run in the competition. Watching Suiryu casually crush Max leaves him stunned at the newcomer's power. He wins his own bout against Hamukichi but takes heavy punishment, and his injuries later cost him a loss to Volten, though he lands a few blows on the electric-bodied fighter before going down. In the Super Fight Arc he is present when The Three Crows and Gouketsu crash the closing ceremony and force the competitors to choose between monsterization and death; frightened, he watches some accept and is spared from Choze's energy ball as Suiryu battles the transformed martial artists. Relieved to learn Suiryu never truly meant to join them, he cheers the fighter on before The Three Crows knock him out. In combat Gatlin trades on his Enhanced Speed to unleash his Multi-Hit Style, a relentless flood of high-speed punches capped by his Ultra High-Speed Barrage.

There are no women on Namek. That isn't an oversight, it's the biology. Why we handed Piccolo the one thing his own species rules out, and why it had to be trap soul....
