He is the bass player for the band Sex Bob-Omb with his friends Stephen Stills and Kim Pine; he plays a Rickenbacker 4001C64 (4003 in the film).
However, the real reason is that Gideon Gordon Graves, the leader of the league of evil exes, has manipulated his memories to the extent that he forgets (or misremembers) important events in his life.
He is consistently portrayed as being stupid- to the extent that his mind is quite literally a barren desert- but sometimes has brief moments of clarity, such as distracting Matthew Patel by not rhyming properly (providing an opening for Scott to attack), causing Lucas Lee to combust by making him skateboard down the Casa Loma stairs at extremely fast speeds, and tricking Todd Ingram into consuming half-and-half (in the movie).
He often wears a Smashing Pumpkins shirt with the letters “SP” on it, his initials, and has a parka which features the X-men logo on a patch, which Scott presumably sewed in himself.
When his plan fails, Scott loses more of his sanity and spends 10 years training before going back in time once more to try and destroy Ramona, the Evil Exes, and his past self.
Ramona Victoria "Rammy" Flowers is an American expatriate from New York, a "ninja delivery girl" for Amazon and Scott's main love interest.
When asked if Ramona is supposed to be fat or plump, O'Malley responded by stating that "since it is a comic book and I draw everyone kinda cartoony and rounded, I figure it's up to the reader to decide.
Initially a quiet, typical schoolgirl, after their break-up, she cuts and dyes her hair and changes her clothing style, hoping to win Scott back by becoming more of a hipster.
Her discovery that Scott was cheating on her with Ramona causes tension between the two girls, sometimes culminating in actual fights, though later the two reach a level of mutual acceptance.
"[30] Webber reprises his role in the 2023 anime series Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, writing a musical with Knives based on Young Neil's screenplay.
O'Malley came up with the name "Kim Pine" when he was in high school, first used it for a character in the short-lived comic strip "Style" before using it for the Scott Pilgrim series.
The dust jacket front fold-over sleeve of volume 5 calls him a "hanger on" and the author himself says that Young Neil is written as dopey because his eyes are covered by his hair.
Simmons reprises his role in the 2023 anime series Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, becoming a professional screenwriter after a time-traveling future Ramona writes a screenplay based on the original timeline under his name.
Initially a quiet, mousey girl, she decides to change herself and her image, becoming more callous and aggressive, eventually taking over Scott's band and dumping him.
O'Malley drew inspiration for Envy from several sources, including the "character" of Metric frontwoman Emily Haines as a performer.
"[4] O'Malley added that, "Anyway, her hair in the movie is clearly bleach-blonde, so you can imagine for yourself that Envy was a redhead in college and dyed it for her big rock star makeover.
[1] Plaza reprises her role in the 2023 anime series Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, in which she is sought out by Gideon, whom she knew in high school as "Gordon Goose", and develops a relationship with him due to finding his evil ambition attractive.
They believe this to be a plan to get revenge on her, but Gideon's secret intention is to use Ramona's ability of subspace travel to manipulate the minds of everyone on Earth.
Each time Scott defeats one of them they become (or drop) coins according to their place in the list in similar fashion to the enemies from the River City Ransom NES video game from the '80s.
Matthew is played by Satya Bhabha in the film Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, in which his fight scene resembles a Bollywood musical number.
He has special "vegan-based" psychic powers (although he is secretly consuming non-vegan foods), and his decision to go to a vegan college leads to him and Ramona breaking up after high school.
In the 2023 anime series Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, both twins are voiced by Japanese-American actor Julian Cihi, with their future selves developing a form of time travel using their Robot-01.
He has apparent control over subspace, a side effect of his ability to induce "emotional warfare" via The Glow, which essentially traps people in their minds with their psychological issues.
[10] He reprises his role in the 2023 anime series Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, which reveals Gideon to be an alias and his real name to be Gordon Goose.
In the series, Gideon is defeated by Matthew, losing control of G-Man Media to him, so he moves in with Julie, whom he went to school with, and the two become romantically involved.
After changing their name, the band learns an advanced technique which allows them to manipulate pure sound waves through hard work and willpower alone so that they no longer need to play instruments.
Lisa Miller is an old high school friend of Scott and Kim's, as well as an actress in a Canadian soap opera, who is introduced in a flashback at the start of volume 2.
Scott later gains his approval, prompting him to tell Knives that he will not mind if she dates another white guy in the future (his only spoken dialogue), but says it in Chinese, so consequently she does not understand.
Mr. Chau appears in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game as an unlockable character that can be summoned to momentarily aid the player in combat.
Two of their officers (one wiry and Caucasian, the other resembling Budai[citation needed]) appear out of nowhere during a protracted battle between Scott Pilgrim and Todd Ingram.
