Pickles is a robot-human hybrid, who was invented by the New New York Police Department's Future Crimes Division. He was programmed to know every crime ever recorded, and inplanted with the brain cells of history's greatest detectives. He visualized crimes before they were even committed. These visions were then recorded into different-colored balls for each type of crime, and proved extremely useful in preventing the crimes from happening. He is, however, capable of faking visions.
