So, what are REV'S secrets?

jurassic drak · Beast

Well, those who always seem unlikely to have any sort of dark secrets at all may carry the darkest secrets of them all. ;D

So ok, was he always so happy-go-lucky? If we take a look at Rip, he was introduced firstly as gloomy and pitiful, somewhat pessimistic, which is the complete opposite of Rev. They're brothers though, and they were raised by the same parents. We see that the parents, or rather the father continuously impose the family business onto them. Both Rip and Rev show obvious discontent, but Rev is more lenient to his parents desires. I'm proposing that something happened to Rev sometime in early childhood to teenage years that shaped him into the optimistic guy that he is. He and rip could have been on the same page at one point, rebelling against their parents, acting on their own accounts, etc, but a bad experience of some sort made Rev more forgivable to his parents, and overall more cheery.

Perhaps Rev was actually agressive and angry. When he finally reached the limit of how much he could take of his father's constant lectures on how it was his and Rip's duties to carry on the familiy business, he exploded in unimaginable violence, destroying the house or lab, cursing all the while, and then coming an inch close to laying a bad hand on his mother...

OR he met someone who grew up with an abusive father and said, "Huh, I guess my lifes not so bad!" ><

I think I'm just out of whack.

Rye · Angela is always right!

SO TRUE. I have found that out repeatedly in life.

Dragon Wing · Gone

Hmm, in the second paragraph you did indeed bring up a lot of legitimate points. And I could actually see Rev being aggressive, at some point. That's actually pretty interesting to think about.

I know first-hand that traumatic experiences or tragedies can set you straight. Perhaps something similar happened here.

That or he probably nearly died either in an accident or by his own hand (during his 'dark days'). A near-death experience is the only type of thrauma I can think of that actually pushes a healthy dose of sanity into people.

Though, no matter how hard I try, I cannot imagine Rev being suicidal and self-harming.

In any case he DID seem a little unhappy and unsatisfied in the Comet Cometh, before the meteor hit. I've always thought he was a naive and mostly unfortunate fella, before he got his powers. Which also explains why he was that sad when he lost those powers to Sypher (he didn't freak out, he didn't even complain, my guess is that he was too busy worrying that he might end up reverting back to his previous 'loser' situation).

Hhhhm, intersting subject but trying to imagine Rev that egressive would be like trying to imagine Tech playing football......

I think if our little roadrunner had any secrets it would be of his social life. Like maybe he was made fun of a lot in school or beaten by the local bullies. But being so happy-go-lucky probably kept him from being withdrawn or deppressed. It might even be why he's like this and he's happy he has the Loonatics to hang with ^_^

Can not see Rev aggressive. He's like a little kid....

XtreamCrazy · BUT MY CHEESE WILL GET COLD. D8

Stealing Duck's thunder. I ASK YOU.

Seriously though, the only reason we had a topic on Duck's deep dark secrets was because he said so himself that he had four (one of which was the coin thing in 'The Pinkster').

But the idea of Rev having some sort of secret... Is indeed intriguing.

Actually, the idea of ALL the 'Tics having on major secret is interesting...

But this is Rev's topic... So...

Hmmm... I can't imagine Rev ever wanting to hurt his mother... And he seems far to respectful to his parents... So much so that maybe in his youth, they set him some bounderies that he didn't like because... I dunno... He got mixed up in the wrong crowd. And then he made a mistake and saw what his parent were on about. I dunno, maybe someone got hurt or something.

Like... Remember when Ralph suggested that Rev come back and work for him, and Rev was all, "But pop, I've got important... crime... fighting... duties..." Like... I dunno, he was worried about going against his parents...

Hmmmmmm... There could be something in this...

Dragon Wing · Gone

Eh. I just think moar Rev is always moar better.

Also I don't really watch the episodes much :3

But I want to address something.

Can not see Rev aggressive. He's like a little kid....

This is where I differ from most people, apparently. I don't see Rev like a little kid at all. When he gets his super powers zapped away from Cypher, he seems grown up just like everyone else. He's just made hyper by his powers; not really child like.

And I could still see him being aggressive. In fact, he HAS been aggressive. He got into a fight with Tech once. Did you see the faces he was making at Rip in The Family Business? How he was kicking around Massive in Stop The World I Want To Get Off? Oh yes, he can be aggressive.

Who wouldn't be worried about going against Ralph?? Ya cannot REASON with that bird! XD

lovegreenanred · Avril lover

I mean aggressive like bad punker guy ready to snap at anyone who evn looks at him funny or bumps into him. Sure he's going to be a little vialent, he's a super hero for crying out loud...

XtreamCrazy · BUT MY CHEESE WILL GET COLD. D8

Ralph does indeed scare me... I imagine how my Dad is with maths... Because he's a big-shot engineer and all and I'm just an artist with no interest in such a subject...

Homework time was terrible...

Dad: Blah blah blah...
Me: Wait... slow down... Can you dumb that down for me...
Dad: Blah blah blah blah...
Me: Wait... Stop... Go back... I didn't get that...
Dad: Ok, here! A squared + B squared = C squared. Now, how do you remove the B from that equation...
Me: *has lost interest by now* Erase it from the page.

OMG! I got into soooooooooo much trouble for saying that. XD

ANYWAY.

Rev has shown the tendancies to be aggressive... And just because he's happy all the time doesn't make him kiddie-like.

I mean, (bad example, I know) I'm constantly cheery on the boards... heck, I'm contantly cheery on the net. And yeah, I'm not an agressive person (you know this more than anyone Angela), but I can to a point where I just become SO emo IRL... That it really scares all my friends.

Every happy person has a side of them that doesn't suit their usual character...

Ayelet_Ripley · Frelengian

I'd love to see a sad, unmotivated and not so optimistic side of Rev. It would make him A LOT more appealing.

And flaws. I wanna see flaws. Flaws make me happy. They make characters feel a little more realistic.

jurassic drak · Beast

Xtream: ZOMG >< I wouldn't like a father who was big on math. But back to the topic, yeah, that is good analogy to how Rev and Rip surely felt growing up.

Aylie: Rev's current reputation is flawless! So horrible and BIG flaws in his past would nicely explain his current behavior. (and make him more 3d)

I was thinking something similar to that.

I think that maybe Rev has to be happy to keep a promise to a relative that had passed away.

Either that or his zodiac sign is Saggitarius.

Stylediva127 · MagykWire

Yeah, maybe he was agressive but got over it. ^^;

Eeeeh not seeing it. Sorry weirdface

No one's answered my personality question yet

XtreamCrazy · BUT MY CHEESE WILL GET COLD. D8

This isn’t really the topic for it, sorry.

Maybe Rev has a secret fear of scarecrows… Or DOLLS!! XD

lovegreenanred · Avril lover

Well, I was going to use it as an example smile

You would think from talking to me on here I'm kinda laid back and nice but I have punched out more guys than you can shake a stick at.

Rev in the show is really peppy and happy-go-lucky but what is he really like in his personal life evileye

See, I always have a reason for my randomness....which kinda gets rid of the fact that it was random biggrin

XtreamCrazy · BUT MY CHEESE WILL GET COLD. D8

Ah! I see nao!

... Why would you want to shake a stick at anyone??

XD

lovegreenanred · Avril lover

......it's an expression darling.....-_-

Teehee! You're so cute ^_^

XtreamCrazy · BUT MY CHEESE WILL GET COLD. D8

I know it’s an expression, but I never understood it…

“I ate more sausages than you can shake a stick at!”
“None then?”
“Huh??”
“I’d never shake a stick at snags…”
“…”
“…”
“What’s a snag?”

lovegreenanred · Avril lover

LOL!

Yeah I don't get it either. But it just kinda blurts out sometimes because I've heard so many people say it. ^_^

The secrets that Rev might have (that I think) are:

1.) He proubelly sleeps with a teddy bear or some other plushie at night, when no one is looking

2.) Has molting lotion (since birds, like roadrunners, attend the shade their feathers called "molting", and Rev probubelly wears that lotion like sun block so he wouldn't go bald when molting season comes)

3.) Go out clubin' (goes to night clubs, to dance, party, and get all crazy and hot-blooded, if you know what I mean) when the members of the Loonatics aren't around

4.) Drinks LOTS of coffee (that'll explain why he's always so hyped)

5.) Attends to pull pranks on everyone on "April Fool's Day"

6.) Watches "naughty shows" (like strip shows) when no one is looking

7.) Obiviously destroyed some of Tech's inventions, but he lies and say that "pack rats" took them.

8.) He's a virgin (as in never had s*x in his life) , but I can change that *eyebrows twitch*

ENOUGH with the lies saying that Rev is g*y/b*sexual when he is definetly NOT!!!!!!

Rev is just proubelly an old-fashion guy, as in he's waiting for the right GIRL to come along to fall in love with, instead of having to "kiss alot of frogs (girls that aren't his type) until he finds his princess (the right girl)".

Dragon Wing · Gone

Well, according to

Björk

, just about everyone ever is at least a little bi, and we ALL know that

Björk

is the supreme voice of reason.

"I think everyone's bisexual to some degree or another; it's just a question of whether or not you choose to recognize it and embrace it. Personally, I think choosing between men and women is like choosing between cake and ice cream. You'd be daft not to try both when there are so many different flavours."

I hate to pull the whole quote, but I can agree with everything that Dragonwing has said. We're shown in the Sypher episode just how grown up Rev can be when he's not zipping all over the place. Plus there are other episodes that reveal interesting little insights on his character. For example, in the Mastermind episode we see that he's actually quite intelligent when he tells Lexi how to turn off the building's power; he was able to understand every one of the instructions. In terms of pre-meteor Rev, I've always pictured a college kid, maybe from a suburb originally, just trying to get by in the big city and to pay for his courses (hence the delivery boy bit in his origin). And I'm willing to bet he was in for engineering or mechanics, because those rocket skates of his were probably a self-made invention. I'm actually still in the early stages of working on a fanfic (mainly Rev-centric) that would cast some light on his life before the Loonatics. Unfortunately I'm not going to get very far without having seen the Rip Runner episode.

And holy Hell (I know it's an oxymoron, run with it) I loved me some Rev in the Massive episode. When he was beating the living whatnot out of Massive at the end? Yeah, that was pretty much a fangirl overload for me. XD

Take all of this elaboration and extend it across the flow - all points are truth.

And you haven't seen The Family Business?

Part 1
Part 2
And the url for part 3 is weird and it won't let me link it. So you can find it under related videos ;).

And also I'm just finishing up a hhuuggee 25-chapter fan fic that is mostly Rev-centric. If you ever feel you need some inspiration you might find some there. ;D

Also want to address this.

If Rev has a man-crush on ANYONE it's Tech. This I have no doubt. And it's hardly even a secret, really. I mean, watch the show and listen to the dialogue Rev uses when talking about/to Tech. That whole bit in The Comet Cometh about "my man Tech" was particularly telling.

In fact since straight guys can have man-crush, I can conclusively determine that Rev DOES have a man-crush on Tech.

But that's not a secret. =(

-- Edited by Dragon Wing at 17:06, 2008-06-15

XtreamCrazy · BUT MY CHEESE WILL GET COLD. D8

LOL! But Rev did not go with TECH to the Basher Ball game. XDDD

I don't see it as a man-crush persay, more boi-love. He loves Tech and looks up to him and adores him and wants to do everything with him... he's in love with Tech as a mentor. And it's cute. ^__^

And the idea of wether or not Rev is gay is completely up to personal opinion. Don't think that your ideas on such a topic are instantly correct Sony. And don't take things I say too seriously either.
