 In a consciousness streamed awareness, somehow derived from his cartoon developed personality, Leo gave the Gentleman assistance during the battle. The Gentleman returned the favor, convincing the people in attendance to believe in Leo as he was starting to fade from existence after Professor Borzoi's Belief Ray was destroyed. Loony Leo hung around as The Gentleman's sidekick for awhile before wandering off into adventures on his own.

 * Interestingly, the Gentleman exhibited a considerable amount of emotional concern, and an elevated level of fear towards Professor Borzoi's Belief Ray. A hint perhaps to some back-story history about the Gentleman's powers, weaknesses, and maybe even his origin.

-* It's later revealed that the Gentleman is not actually a living entity at all, but actually a psychic manifestation. The Gentleman was based off a man named Daniel Armstrong, a widower and stay at home dad. He died while guiding civilians to safety from the Bund-o-Teurs, during one of their attacks in 1942 from stray debris. Matilda Jame Armstrong, his daughter unable to handle the psychological trauma of her father's death activated her psychic powers creating a near invincible manifestation that resembled her father to stay with her and fight evil.
