Gideon (Waverider)


 * For the Gideon used by Eobard Thawne, see Gideon.

Gideon is an interactive artificial consciousness programmed to operate the Waverider's critical systems and to add Rip Hunter on his mission.

History
When Rip Hunter stole the Waverider, Gideon asked Rip what he meant to retrieve. Gideon was told not what, but who. Gideon was then asked to pull out the files of eight men and women.

When the eight men and women boarded the Waverider, Gideon introduced itself to them.

After Rip Hunter left with Carter Hall, Kendra Saunders, Martin Stein and Ray Palmer, Jefferson tried to order Gideon to take him home, though Gideon told Jefferson it was programmed not too. When Gideon asked an enraged Jefferson if he needed a sedative, the Waverider was attacked. When the team returned to the Waverider with Aldus Boardman, Gideon told them Aldus had sustained severe internal injuries.
