Newton was [[Zero]]'s mentor in years past. Together, they created [[Megarig|a machine]] that would copy the power of {{an|Giratina}} to travel between dimensions, allowing them free access to the [[Reverse World]]. Although they had been close previously, the two clashed when Newton discovered his invention would cause a horrific fate, possibly sacrificing Giratina in the process and therefore erased the designs. | Newton was [[Zero]]'s mentor in years past.

Newton is a master of machinery. His expansive backpack is shown to contain numerous robotic arms, which appear to be able to move seemingly at will in order to manipulate objects, or, as shown in the movie, type on a computer keyboard. He also utilizes a small, handheld computer and a high-tech viewing lens, although both are handled by the robotic arms. The small handheld computer guides Newton in his adventure in the Reverse World, it also shows the location of the portal. | Newton is a master of machinery.

"Mugen" (無限) means "infinity". Spelled with different kanji (夢幻), it could also mean "dreams", "fantasy" or "visions". | |||
Newton may come from the famous {{wp|Isaac Newton}}, who developed the concept of gravity, and Newton Graceland lived in the [[Reverse World]], where gravity can be stronger or weaker, depending on the location. He may also be named for British guitarist {{wp|Newton Faulkner}}, who has the same hair color as him and a similar haircut and beard. Newton Graceland's use of robotic arms throughout the movie may be a nod to the title of Newton Faulkner's debut album, {{wp|Hand Built by Robots}}, and its cover artwork, which features a huge robotic arm. | |||
His last name may be a reference to {{si|Gracidea}}. | |||
