This episode of World of GeneX is covering Vortex, Zipp and Crash, to save time.
Zipp is Experiment 4. He is a black & red hornet who wears a leather jacket and a high-tech helmet with a black visor that conceals his eyes. He almost always carries a gun with him.
Vortex is Experiment 5. He is a mostly black chameleon, with orange-ish eyes, purple & red shoes, and red spikes on his back. He has a jagged tail and two horns on his head.
Crash is Experiment 8. He is a large, grey rhino with green eyes, cyan gloves, powder blue boots and a yellow bowler hat. The three of them make up Team GeneX.
Zipp and Vortex were born in relative quick succession, and quickly became Bucky's most loyal experiments. Zipp serves as the weapon and espionage expert, using his special helmet to track his targets (among other things) with ease. Vortex is the computer expert, and also shares Bucky's passion for science. The pair of them helped a great deal in Bucky's early plans to prepare his escape from and revenge against GUN.
Later, Crash was created, and quickly became the third member of their group. While Vortex is the brains and wields most of the Chaos-based attacks, Crash is the physical brawn, as well as the heart and conscience of the trio. During Soleanna Struggle, he is the only one of the three to consider the goodness in Heather, and sets her free when Vortex and Zipp plot to kill her.
Zipp's buzzing wings might give away his position at times, but he is a crack shot, and potentially deadly. The fact he hasn't killed anyone may reveal that he is actually not as keen on killing as his demeanor suggests.
Vortex has a habit of hissing, and cannot pronounce words with too many of the letter "s" in them. He knows a wide variety of Chaos skills, such as the powerful but energy-consuming Chaos Camoflauge, the Team Blast Chaos Inferno (which he can perform alone), and the cataclysmic Chaos Hole. He usually sticks to Chaos Inferno, due to the devastating nature of his other techniques.
Crash defies the trope of the dumb brute, and is actually pretty intelligent. He is also polite and honorable, a major departure from his comrades. He often confiscates Zipp's guns for safety reasons, and he dislikes hitting females.
The trio frequently run missions for Bucky, and have yet to see much solo time. They always come back, though, so stay tuned for more of Team GeneX!

Vortex is certainly the most developed of the three. Now we are fairly certain that he likes Whisk, for example. We also know that he can be driven to defy Bucky in the right circumstances, and works pretty well as a devious mastermind in his own right. (see Soleanna Struggle) I'd certainly like to play with his character more in the future.
I'm starting to think Zipp is a teddy bear inside. He hasn't actually killed anyone in all these years... I don't think even in the Halloween Specials. Even with his guns. I think he just likes to SEEM badass, lol.
Crash needs development the most, but I'm not sure how to approach it. I've tossed around the idea of pairing him up with Heather, they did have a little moment in Soleanna Struggle... But I dunno. I did finally work out his Chaos power, look for that in a late chapter of Knuckles the Echidna.
Bucky is a spiritual member of Team GeneX, but I think of him a separate, too, which is why Crash was introduced. I tried to move away from Team Chaotix as much as possible over time, as I in no way intended to make a dark Team Chaotix... I just don't have much skill with sprites. To the point where Crash STILL doesn't have any advance-style sprites...
