    Kids like sugar... he used kids as slaves in the Age of Apocalypse... N'ah, I'm grasping at straws here. 

    I'm guessing the writers wanted a deceptively sounding sweet name, for an evil character.

    LOL at the first part of your post.

    Yeah, I have no idea why he was named what he was named.............maybe because he is round like a gumball or..........aw hell, I can't even pretend I know............gumdrop?

    LOL... he's round & looks like a gob-stopper?  Maybe they couldn't get away with calling him the Sugar Daddy?

    I figured it's because he kills people by shrinking down, jumping into their belly, and then growing back up, but then I'm morbid.

    I have to agree. I don't think they should of brought him over from the Age of Apocalypse. Instead, they should introduce his, uh, "mainstream" counterpart as a new member or leader of the Nasty Boys.
