Glitch is a Key Tool from the Super Computer. It is blue and gray in color with a gold toolbar. Glitch is capable of becoming most objects, can project energy shields and can be used as a communication device. It can also hear its Guardian from great distances and can interface with other software, such as a System paint program.
Like all Key Tools, Glitch runs on stored energy and its battery must be recharged.
Glitch used to be joined with Guardian Dixon Green. After she was deleted by the virus Killabyte, Glitch joined with her partner Bob.
Glitch was remarkably versatile and invaluable to Guardian Bob when providing information on anomalies such as Tears and Game Cubes that are otherwise impossible to analyze through ordinary means. It has a multi-functional scanner that can give accurate readouts on Games, displaying various colored graphs and dials, indicating the Cube's progress and state. Glitch's cogwheel also can form a useful blue speedometer to monitor the Game's current speed, darker colors showing something abnormal.
Glitch is able to run a complete diagnostic on Tears by stating their class, polarity and volatility. By knowing this, any Key Tool easily can mend the tear, or stabilize them into portals.
When a Tear forms in Mainframe, Bob will have Glitch form a scanner with two probes searching for the energy signature, its screen would glow increasingly red in proximity to a Tear.
Despite the sophistication of Glitch's scanner, it does have its limits, there were exceptions such as unknown-viral bugs. When Hexadecimal unleashed her Medusa Bug, the display went dark orange warning Bob this was an "Unknown file type".
Whenever Bob is flustered during intense or stressful moments and he can't think clearly, in a panic he can order "Glitch: Anything!" While obviously an inappropriate command, the Key Tool always seems to know exactly what the Guardian needs and transforms accordingly for the situation at hand. Glitch is no match for a Gibson Coil Pike, the traditional weapon of a Code Master. The Code Master Lens used his pike to render Glitch inactive with an Ultra-High Density Near-Field Time Lock Mechanism. Glitch was unable to break free of this and the only way to deactivate it was by use of a pike. When Bob needed to follow an escaping Mouse he ordered Glitch to trace her. The Key Tool fired a small energy seeking object that quickly attached to Mouse's boot, the screen began displaying the hacker's location.
The ReBoot Multiuniverse[]
Of course, Glitch was an assistant to Bob, but at times it was a rival to Akari and her Pokémon because of how versatile and sentient they are. By the time Bob got shot into the Web and crushed by Megabyte, it was defective when Enzo used it. Especially since there was a lookalike in the Mainframe game during Matrix's nightmare. It reunited with Turbo and Copland at the Desert Port System saloon. It soon became Bob's Key Tool again when he arrived in the Saucy Mare and cured AndrAIa's code from a stray Web Creature. Then, it merged with Bob as he stabilized the Tear to Mainframe. Since then, he'd been using his Glitch powers, and was known as Glitch-Bob. But it could only do so much as using his new powers would make him drain energy during the Net War, according to Samus since he merged with a damaged Key Tool. It was unveiled Master Hand did the same thing.
Bob tried to separate himself from Glitch, but he was in critical condition as Dot was marrying the fake Bob. Glitch was successful with help of other Key Tools, including Copland, then analyzed Bob and the faker who was Megabyte in disguise!! He had to give it up as he became a Code Master.
