According to a description on Fandom, Charles' version of Gomez Addams was as grotesque as it was snobby. Short and fat in appearance, Gomez was perpetually clad in a striped suit and sported a pointy mustache with hair that was perpetually slicked back. In a first-look image from the upcoming Netflix series, Luis Guzman is seen sporting a look similar to the original creation, leading to a flood of appreciation posts about how Guzman "looks like the *actual* OG Charles Addams Gomez!"

An optimist by nature, his naivety endears him to viewers. Smoking cigars since the young age of five, Gomez was a sickly youth. Despite having studied law, he barely practices it, often quipping about how he has a perfect record since he never lost a case, but never won as well. Gomez only came into his own and gained full confidence in himself after meeting Morticia, his wife. He is portrayed as being very passionate towards her and is often seen calling her romantic names. spooky momma@jazzalicious01Love me like Gomez Addams or leave me alone. ?6119Love me like Gomez Addams or leave me alone. ? https://t.co/MsxwtJiiuh Gomez is also ranked as the fifth richest TV character with a net worth of about $8.2 billion.

The character's name was left to actor John Astin, who was essaying the role in the series, and he eventually picked "Gomez," which ended up sticking around for all future adaptations.
