Muppet Babies showed an infant Gonzo, like many of the Muppets, raised exclusively under the care of Nanny. No parents or other relatives were visibly present in the little weirdo's life. However, a fantasy segment in the third season episode "Fozzie's Family Tree" showed Gonzo tracing his family tree back to the planet of Crouton located in the Soup Galaxy. In that sequence, a parody of Superman's backstory, Gonzo learned that Crouton, where millions of weirdos lived, was in the process of quickly becoming normal, so his parents Sor-Elbow and Weirda sent him in a rocket to Earth to be raised by chickens.
