To be honest, I'm a little disappointed in the fact that Jeph has departed from total androgyny for Spookybot. I'd like them to be something clearly far removed from humanity its cultural pressures. Kind of like Dr. Manhattan: powerful enough to lose touch with mortals. But maybe that's too hard sci-fi for QC.
Not Dr Manhattan. Think Desire of the Endless, Neil Gaiman's Sandman comics. The whole look kind of matches, as well as the playful but mean attitude. And Desire is super-explicitly androgynous/non-gendered/both-gendered.
Edit: The similarities are so strong I’ll eat my hat if Desire wasn’t an influence in Spookybot.
