Backstory

Stuart grew up in an ordinary, middle-class family. At the age of eleven, he fell from a tree, an accident that caused all of his brown hair to fall out. When it grew back, it had turned a distinctive bluish-gray.

Later, while working at a music instrument shop, Stuart’s life changed forever. Murdoc Niccals crashed his car directly into the store, hitting Stuart and leaving him in a coma. As part of his sentence, Murdoc was forced to care for him. For a time, Stuart remained in a vegetative state, living under Murdoc’s supervision.

One day, Murdoc recklessly performed car stunts with Stuart in the backseat. The car crashed, and Stuart was flung through the windshield. Instead of killing him, the accident jolted him awake from his coma. However, his eyes had turned completely black. Murdoc mockingly nicknamed him “2D” — short for “Two Dents,” referencing his two major head injuries. The name stuck, and Stuart embraced it.

Not long after, Murdoc formed Gorillaz with 2D as its frontman. At first, 2D’s girlfriend and guitarist, Paula Cracker, played alongside them. But when 2D discovered she had cheated on him with Murdoc, Paula quickly left the band.

After the second album, tension between Murdoc and the rest of the group grew unbearable, and the band fell apart because El mañana. Murdoc, unwilling to let his creation die, built a cyborg version of Noodle to replace the supposed dead girl — except 2D.

With no other “option” in his twisted mind, Murdoc kidnapped 2D and took him to a floating plastic island off Nemo Point. 2D was held there for months, trapped, until a giant whale swallowed the entire structure. Miraculously, he survived — trapped for a time inside the creature before finally finding his way back to civilization and accepting Murdoc's apologies some time late.

After escaping, he spent a period in solitude with a group of monks, seeking peace before rejoining the band.

During that time, 2D met Moonflower, a woman who drew him into a strange cult under the guise of spiritual enlightenment. When the cult attempted to sacrifice him to an ancient god, the band intervened, saving his life at the last moment. Explaining that to the authorities, however, was impossible — so they fled to India, if only for a while.

For a brief period afterward, Murdoc’s old acquaintance, Ace, stepped in as the band’s bassist, as Murdoc himself was serving time in prison.
