      There could be some combat still between lifting, Gus is big and heavy, so he can't jump too high, or run as fast as Gordon or Barney, but he's got hefty arms and puts his weight into swinging a pipewrench. His strong arms combined with having played highschool football gives him some more range with throwing hand grenades.
      He doesn't have a powered suit, but his big build gives him more hitpoints (let's say he's less of just fat, and more strongfat, he's not a lazy slob but he just eats a lot), he also has a decent amount of pockets on his boiler suit (and he can later find a utility belt), so he can carry an alright amount of ammunition and grenades. Perhaps he can scavenge a security vest from a dead Otis.
      Of course, there needs to be a segment where he saves someone by charging a Gargantua with a forklift, it looses its balance, and falls down into a chasm (perhaps coming back as a later bossfight).

      So in the end, the casserole was probably his, but he may not have been the guy sitting in the kitchen. He just finds out you ruined his lunch that day before the disaster 😭

      He's not even based on those real people-- _Those real people are based on _*_him._*
      One day, he will awaken from his eternal lunch break, and then none of our palettes of goods will be safe, as they will all be lifted to the warehouse that lies beyond our realm.
      If he smiles upon you, he may lift you to his realm using the great forklift in the sky.

Him and his brother suG (who is a bit less powerful) roam around black Mesa getting up to shenanigans instead of working, because if anyone tells them to work the person who said that will be instantly killed. Gus and suG were found by the HECU many times, but, due to there threatening presence the HECU left them alone. They also survived the resonance cascade and the warhead detonation. the reason the combine came through was because both Gus and suG were sleeping, the combine tried to capture them after they woke up but like the HECU, there threatening presence scared them away. Gus and suG is currently the only entities stronger then Gordon, Adrian, Barney, and doom guy. Also Gman is weaker then all of them.
    Also the third Gus is a failed Gus clone who was killed by the combine.
