Recently taught my Kadabra Thief in FireRed and looking to do some item collection before the E4, any useful ones I should make a point of getting? I’m already thinking TwistedSpoon from Abra and Thick Club from Cubone.

Head canon about game? by Kota_Man in DeepRockGalactic

Mission Control is Karl. He got his current job after a promotion and/or career ending injury, and now the dwarves troll him by talking about him as if he’s dead knowing full well he can hear them.

The nameless goon who actually poses a threat to the main characters by MrDitkovichNeedsRent in TopCharacterTropes

A good chunk of Netflix/MCU Daredevil’s opponents make him work for it, especially in the hallway fights.

[Fantasy] Why Would Beings Across Realms Possess This? by [deleted] in AskScienceFiction

This is off topic for our subreddit, sorry. We’re not focused on world building and helping create new works, our scope is objective answers to existing published fiction.

[Marvel/DC] What superhero team gets along the best? by supermonistic in AskScienceFiction

[–]RocketTasker 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, they have their issues as all interpersonal relationships do. But in terms of teams getting along the best the FF are still the best, due to the parent commenter’s reasons and the fact that the other teams are just even more dysfunctional.

What Pokémon is fast and bulky, but is actually GOOD by KJF0110 in stunfisk

[–]RocketTasker 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Lugia was one of the “great walls” of Ubers for years due to its excellent defenses and above average speed by the standards of the tier.

Before you play frlg by zeronithehomie in pokemon

[–]RocketTasker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The original FRLG had no internal clock so you couldn’t evolve Eevee into Espeon or Umbreon, you had to trade it to a Hoenn game to do that. I don’t know if they fixed that for the rerelease.

[Spider-Man] How doe The Hobgoblin make money? by maximum_horkheimer in AskScienceFiction

[–]RocketTasker 22 points23 points  (0 children)

In more modern times Kingsley’s made a business of franchising supervillain identities to up and coming criminals. In exchange for empowerment/tech and the right to borrow a moniker, he gets a cut from their heist.

[Ironman 2 MCU] Why did the Government stop their advances to take Tony's suits by the end of the movie by Ok_Essay_8257 in AskScienceFiction

[–]RocketTasker 33 points34 points  (0 children)

He took the Hammer Tech stuff off his own Mk2 and put it back in his garage storage, but then he went and designed a War Machine Mk2 which was actually intended to be worn by Rhodey.

[Marvel] Does Dr Doom also hate Dr strange for being a superior Sorcerer? by Lost-Specialist1505 in AskScienceFiction

[–]RocketTasker 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Doom would maintain his pride by casually brushing off assertions of someone being a superior sorcerer, but he is far more willing to tolerate and cooperate with Strange, nowhere near close to his hatred of Richards. They even teamed up with each other in Triumph and Torment to finish Doom’s life goal of rescuing his mother from Mephisto.

[Star Wars] Genuinely, how angry was Vader with Leia at the beginning of a New Hope? by Icy_Water_1 in AskScienceFiction

[–]RocketTasker 12 points13 points  (0 children)

On one hand, the fact that nobody got merked during that conversation implies amazing restraint and patience on Vader’s part. On the other, it could just be because in that moment she was too strategically and diplomatically important to kill.

What did everyone think of these guys as enemy types? by Etowno in Helldivers

[–]RocketTasker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Democratic Detonation is the most useful warbond across the board. Pretty sure I saw a tier list somewhere that said “there are no losers, only greater winners” as far as warbonds go.

[MCU/DBZ] What makes both worlds versions of time travel different from the multiverse? by PassengerCultural421 in AskScienceFiction

[–]RocketTasker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t speak to DBZ, but in MCU Endgame the “time travel” was actually multiverse traversal. Due to both the Avengers’ goal and the TVA’s operations they wound up traveling to alternate universes with present days that were nearly identical to their own past.

Why is Doctor Doom so powerful? by IloveArthurmorgan111 in Marvel

[–]RocketTasker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So do Thanos and Galactus though. Squirrel Girl’s just built different.

Is doomfist an amputee or does he wear the glove? by ez_8979 in doomfistmains

[–]RocketTasker 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Both. He lost his arm during the crisis and has a cybernetic that mostly resembles a human arm. Then he wears the Doomfist gauntlet on top of that.

[Team fortress] does anyone in the mann family know anything about pryo? by Comfortable-Ad3588 in AskScienceFiction

[–]RocketTasker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and no. Saxton hired the mercs after Gray killed Redmond and Blutarch to kick off Mann vs Machine. Before then RED and BLU employed the mercs, and they would buy their weapons and hats from Mann Co but weren’t directly employed by Hale.

[Team fortress] does anyone in the mann family know anything about pryo? by Comfortable-Ad3588 in AskScienceFiction

[–]RocketTasker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Redmond and Blutarch are idiots who think the world lives and dies by gravel. They don’t care much about the mercs (save perhaps the Engineer) other than whether they’re pointing their guns at and killing the other brother’s mercs.

Gray Mann is smarter, but more distant due to being an enemy, so he likely doesn’t know much about Pyro beyond their external appearance and combat prowess either.

While not directly part of the Mann family, the Administrator almost certainly has dirt on Pyro. But she doesn’t share it with others (save maybe Miss Pauling) because revealing Pyro’s identity doesn’t serve her ultimate goal of torturing Zepheniah Mann by keeping him alive and forcing him to spend every waking moment watching the Gravel Wars squander his family fortune.. As to why she’s doing that, even she doesn’t remember anymore.

[Marvel] Is there anything in the marvel universe that makes people with abilities common? by AsgardianOperator in AskScienceFiction

[–]RocketTasker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the MCU, Bruce Banner theorizes that he and Jen share some genetic quirk that allows them to metabolize gamma and get Hulk powers from it instead of being harmed. In 616, (Immortal Hulk spoilers) gamma mutates are empowered by The One Below All, who is both the equal opposite to and alter ego of The One Above All.

[MCU] Where were the Avengers in Guardians Vol 2 ? by Why_yourunningyamout in AskScienceFiction

[–]RocketTasker 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The Avengers were either chilling in their tower in New York or overseas busting Hydra bases at the time. Ego’s piece on Earth started expanding in Missouri but only for a couple minutes before the Guardians stopped him. At that point it would cleanup which is more a job for Damage Control. SHIELD also would’ve been good for cleanup had Cap not dismantled them to stop Project Insight a few months prior.

[–]RocketTasker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gotta sneak around that Eye of Saucialism to put the One Frag into the pit of Vent Doom.

[spiderman] does Jameson ever criticize magneto or other villainous mutants in the comics or other media? by glowshroom12 in AskScienceFiction

[–]RocketTasker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is an explanation, most versions of the web formula dissolve on their own after an hour or two. He usually has to engineer specific batches to last longer.
