2-D, however, didn't spend much time inside Massive Dick, as just a few weeks later the whale died from over-consuming ocean debris and ended up stranded on the shore of a seemingly deserted island. He emerged from the whale carcass and spent months surviving solely on its corpse. In the meantime, he seems to have overcome his enormous fear of whales thanks to the emotional attachment he developed for Dick.

One day, he spotted a plane flying along the coast and walked towards it for a few minutes before finding a beach resort and discovering that he was actually on Guadalupe Island, off the coast of Mexico. He then spent the rest of the year there on vacation.

After failing to graduate from law school, 2-D left Oxford and went to Beirut, Lebanon, to live alone. He was forced to return to the band during the events of Plastic Beach, after being kidnapped by the Boogieman under Murdoc's command.

Murdoc revealed that he had kidnapped 2-D and held him captive on Plastic Beach, using his vocal talent on Gorillaz's third album, titled "Plastic Beach". In the "Plastic Beach" adventure game on the official Gorillaz website, 2-D states that Murdoc "kindly" drugged him with gas and sent him to Plastic Beach, where he was forced to sing on Murdoc's new demos. His room was submerged on floor B2, where the player would find him trembling in bed due to his immense fear of whales (cetaphobia). 2-D seemed unaware of the presence of other people on the island besides himself, Murdoc, and Cyborg Noodle, although he knew that Murdoc had been drugging and kidnapping several other musicians to have them as collaborators on the band's new album.

Throughout the iTunes Session interview, 2-D deliberately insults Murdoc simply to provoke him for the horrible things he did to him, and physically attacks him when Murdoc mentions the incident with Paula Cracker, a sensitive subject for 2-D. During the Escape to Plastic Beach world tour, 2-D single-handedly composed a new Gorillaz album, The Fall, about which Murdoc apparently knew nothing until it was already finished. The release of The Fall was planned to coincide with the opening of Rick Black's new record store in Plastic Beach, which never happened. Upon returning to Plastic Beach after the end of the tour, Murdoc broadcast the fifth episode of his Pirate Radio series to promote the album and attract the attention of the Boogieman and the Black Clouds, an underground network of pirates and assassins with an old feud with Murdoc. The pirates then attacked the island, but 2-D managed to escape after being swallowed whole by Massive Dick, the whale that had haunted him for 3 years.

2-D's feelings of anguish and dread caused by Murdoc's abuse seem to have returned during this phase, as he appears visibly depressed in the "Feel Good Inc." music video and bothered by Murdoc's presence in the MTV Cribs episode, although he also demonstrates that he is no longer as dependent on painkillers. His bond with Noodle has also strengthened, becoming an almost fraternal relationship (as described by Noodle herself), which is most evident in the "Rockit" music video.

After the release of Feel Good Inc., he received an email from the UK Child Support Service notifying him of several overdue child support payments relating to his different children. The email also stated that DNA test results proved his paternity of at least five different children, all with "spiky blue hair like his," to whom he had sent "fantastic Gorillaz goodies" as compensation for the delay. This email could be found on his computer, on the Kong Studios interactive website, for most of Phase 2. After the El Mañana incident, 2-D and Russel were distraught over Noodle's supposed death, although Murdoc downplayed the situation by lying and claiming she had escaped by parachute. 2-D and Murdoc attended Damon Albarn and Gorillaz concerts at the Apollo Theater from April 2nd to 6th, 2006, but left the group almost immediately afterward, leaving full control of the band and its assets exclusively to Murdoc. According to Murdoc, 2-D was "...going somewhere. He'll probably try to become an actor, model, or something like that...". According to an official statement from October 31st, 2007, Murdoc stated that 2-D was "on vacation at a Jamaican beach". However, on November 13th, the text in the D-Sides section of the G-Shop stated that 2-D was completing a law degree at Oxford.

In 1998, 2-D and Murdoc moved to Kong Studios and recruited Russel Hobbs to join them. 2-D's girlfriend, Paula Cracker, was originally the group's first guitarist, but was soon fired after Russel caught her performing oral sex on Murdoc in the studio bathroom. 2-D was upset about this, and he and Paula ended their relationship. Later, 2-D began dating Rachel Stevens, a former member of S-Club 7, and invited her to the band's first show at the Camden Brownhouse. She, however, broke up with him the day after the record deal signing party, after Murdoc spent most of the night hitting on her.

After Gorillaz's last show on MTV Island in Portugal, the band moved to Los Angeles to write a film, and tensions between the members began to rise. After suggesting several crazy ideas for the film, Murdoc lost his temper and attacked 2-D, nearly strangling him. Luckily, Russell saved him, but after this fight, the band broke up.

On August 15, 1997, when Stuart was 19 years old, his life changed forever after 31-year-old delinquent Murdoc Niccals deliberately drove his Vauxhall Astra into the wall of Uncle Norm's Organ Emporium, where Stuart worked, in an attempt to break into the premises and steal synthesizers. Murdoc's car bumper struck Stuart's face [5], causing a W-shaped fracture, also known as a figure-eight fracture, although he was still able to see with the injured eye. Murdoc was arrested and sentenced to 30,000 hours (1,250 days) of community service, in addition to caring for Stuart, who was incapacitated, for 10 hours a week.

A year later, in a failed attempt to impress some women, Murdoc did a 360° spin with his car in a Tesco supermarket parking lot in Nottingham. This caused Stuart to crash through the windshield, hitting his head on the curb and fracturing his other eye. When Stuart woke up, after sliding across the concrete for about a kilometer, he looked at Murdoc. It was at that moment that Murdoc knew he had found his vocalist. "A god with blue hair and black eyes," said Murdoc. Murdoc nicknamed Stuart "2-D," short for "Two Dents." Curiously, Stuart loved the new nickname, completely abandoning his given name and even signing formal letters with the first name "Two" and the last name "D." 2-D seems to have a history of violent head injuries, as well as a complete lack of natural intelligence. Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett commented on this, saying that he has a blank sheet of paper where there should be a brain. Despite this, he serves as the lead vocalist and songwriter for Gorillaz on most of the band's albums.

I never really thought much about anything, at least not that I can remember. 2-D, The Rise of the Ogre

Stuart Pot (born Stuart Harold Tusspot, May 23, 1978), better known by his nickname 2-D, is the fictional vocalist, keyboardist, and leader of the British virtual band Gorillaz.

The singing voice is that of the band's real-life vocalist, Damon Albarn, and the speaking voice was that of actor Nelson De Freitas from 2001 to 2017 and, from 2017 onwards, by Kevin Bishop.

Development Creation and characterization 2-D was the first member created by Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett for Gorillaz in 1998, as a representation of the classic stereotype of the "handsome and stupid singer".

During Phase 1, 2-D had great respect for and idolized Murdoc, whom he believed had "saved his life" by waking him from a coma (induced by the bassist himself). This perspective, however, gradually changed after Phase 1, as the constant abuse and contempt he suffered at the hands of Murdoc led 2-D to change his opinion of the bassist, from a necessary evil that he merely tolerated during Phase 2 (a perspective similar to that of Russel, the band's drummer, who maintained this stance for longer) to a deep hatred during Phase 3, after being kidnapped, dragged across the ocean and held captive in an underwater room, constantly watched over by one of his greatest fears—a giant whale—all without Russel or Noodle to care for him.

The two reconciled during Phase 4, although 2-D still felt immense relief and satisfaction at being away from Murdoc once again while the bassist was imprisoned during Phase 5. Their relationship has become more amicable since then, though this hasn't prevented him from being used as Murdoc's servant within the Last Cult or as a guinea pig for his experiments with Murdoc's Essence.

2-D has always been portrayed as a kind and sweet person, the type who "would never hurt a fly," but also as extremely passive and easily distracted, often described (mainly by Murdoc) as behaving like a lobotomized person (although he never underwent one). This led him to suffer intense bullying throughout his childhood and to become Murdoc's preferred target when the latter committed physical and psychological abuse in Phases 1 to 3 (since Russel was significantly stronger than him and Noodle was still just a child). However, he proved capable of defending himself when necessary, such as when he was held captive during the filming of the "On Melancholy Hill" music video and when confronting Murdoc after the band's reunion in Phase 4 or his return in Phase 5.

Nicknamed "stupid" since childhood, 2-D is often portrayed as slower than his bandmates, frequently unable to grasp analogies or metaphors. This, however, does not apply to his musical knowledge, as he has repeatedly demonstrated an incredible ability to compose songs, great technical skill on various instruments (keyboard, guitar and melodica) and vast knowledge of British and international rock bands.

2-D is tall and very thin, standing at 1.88 m (although this measurement has not been consistently depicted over the years). He has long limbs and fingers. His eyes were completely black due to eye trauma (more specifically, due to fractures caused by an 8-ball billiard ball, as ruptured blood vessels in both eyes caused his irises to fill with blood). He has had naturally blue hair since he was eleven years old, after falling from a tree, which caused all his hair to fall out and grow back a deep blue. His original hair color was brown. Despite being missing a front tooth, 2-D can sing clearly. His spoken and singing voices contrast significantly and have changed considerably over the years.
