Chasing the dream.
Goddammit Elon bought Spanakopita didn't he.

Also I'm travelling for work and can never sleep right when I'm not home but the soothing tones of VB has lifted my spirits for the last two nights in a row.

The first night I woke up just as the Monarch declared how much he wants to build an empire to house the machine to kick Rusty's rear end.

Last night was "Blasted Mallomars my tits are back!"

Hey, this isn't fair. St. Cloud is only an rear end in a top hat to White and the Qwhizhbhoyyy. He seems to be well aware of his personal limitations with regards to others (choosing to placate them with mhoneee) and got a healthy reminder when breaking into Billy's mom's house when he drifts from his lane.

Musk is honestly more of a cross between Phantom Limb and Fat Chance.

I don't see St. Cloud *ever* calling some dude a pedophile on Twitter, for instance.

I'm looking forward to it turning out that Mrs Blue Morpho is just Jonas's sister and it simply never came up that Rusty has an aunt.

This would be absolutely hilarious if that was the one genuine thing Jonas ever did. His sister came over and he did in vitro fertilization with an embryo created from her and BM.

The Monarch turns out to be a more linearly direct descendant of the Venture family and the courts declare him the rightful heir of Jonas Venture. He promptly evicts Rusty, who takes shelter in the now-abandoned cocoon...

Rusty would be a terrible supervillain because supervillains are antagonists and in superhero stories antagonists are the people with all the agency- the villains are the ones trying to change the status quo to fulfill some agenda. Rusty would be a terrible villain because he's got no motivation or agency larger than "keep the money rolling in" or "get laid tonight" or "have your ego flattered". It'd be an entire season of that scene from the testicular torsion episode where the Monarch has Brock and Hank and is trying pretend he's got a bustling, busy cocoon going on and eventually asks "What do we usually do?", only for Brock to give the Monarch something to respond to.

I gotta disagree. The Rusty/Killinger episode showed Rusty would be a great supervillain. His general funk is largely due to him trying to be a hero and it's a round hole square peg situation.

It's one of Rusty's few bits of self actualisation and backbone that he rejects this, regardless of how much better his life would be.

He'd be a terrible supervillain in the same way he's a terrible superscientist: his heart isn't in it. Sure, he'd be better at making unethical gadgets and gizmos than ethical ones, but at the end of the day superscience isn't something he went into because he loves it, it's something he did to try to be like his dad. Plus, he's not in the whole hero/villain game because he wants to be, it's all due to people wanting to get at Jonas's son.

At the end of the day, Rusty would probably be best suited as just a regular guy in some crappy job that has nothing to do with living in the shadow of his father. Maybe a travel agent or something.

He seems to be good at the whole cloning and genetics thing, although he may not be a reliable source on actually removing the 'ticking timebomb of cancers' he said he removed from the clone of that one child.

We have flashes from all across the series that show that Doc is actually capable of being the superscientist the world expected him to be. He's just so hosed up by what that life has already done to him that he can't apply himself.

Of course most of the stuff he does invent is like super evil, like the murdered orphan machine or the super-roofy that makes people into praying mantis'. Stuff like the ORB episode and some of the later seasons show him to be trying to be a good guy most of the time. But still, murdered orphan machine and all.

it's never stated he killed the orphan himself and if you've got an orphan heart lying around going to waste are you just going to toss it in the trash? that would be the real crime i say.

Rusty's successful inventions are almost always supervillian-y. They establish this in the very first episode, when he melts a little city with the Oo-Ray. He creates zombies. He creates the joy can (from an orphan). He creates roofies that also turn you into a giant insect. Killinger points Rusty toward supervillainy because he's actually an effective supervillain, completely by accident.

Is the teleporter the only invention that isn't just obviously something a supervillain would create? Maybe that's Billy and White's influence

The teleporter has been half done for a few years. JJ half finished one while Rusty was finding himself.
