History Headscratchers / PaperinikNewAdventures

** Not necessarily: most of their data was stated to be about the Evronians, and given how sneaky Xadhoom is they probably had just one occasion, when, during the events of issue #17, she was [[ThisIsGonnaSuck hallucinating that everyone was an Evronian]]. That picture shows her charging an energy blast, so chance is she encountered one of their information-searching teams, mistook them from Evronians, and when she confronted them they managed to take that one picture before being hit by said blast...

* In "Beato Angelico" angus showed a blurry, miscolored, image of Xadhoom as part of a news broadcast. But, near the end of the issue, it's stated that there were gigabytes of pictures. If so, surely he'd have something better....

* Why did Paperinik entrust General Westcock with the datapack containing Xadhoom's memories when he has a secret floor to keep it? In fact,why did he bring it with him during a mission to an ''Evronian'' base?

** Considering One was able to juggle between Paperinik and Ducklair I don't think Two would had problem. Then again, Ducklair came back fully knowing the AI was the problem, so he probably had some kind of MacGuffin with himself to not be detected. Of course if this was the case it would have been nice let us know.

* In [=PK2=], does Lyo know Paperinik's SecretIdentity? Donald is usually in costume around him, but issue 16 showes that he has no problem in changing to his civilian person inside the Century.
** The answer is simple: [[ParadiseLost Better to reign in hell, than serve in heaven]].
** Wait, what? What do you mean?
*** Just keep thinking, and one day, you may have the answer.
** ...Alright, I give up! Can you explain?
*** The time has not yet come for you to receive the answer you seek.
** Ok, are you trolling me?
*** [[EvenEvilHasStandards Wouldn't dream of it.]]

* Does anybody else think that it was strange for One to not know anything about Paperinik? He was already famous before the series started,and he can get his hands on every news broadcast and newspaper.It just seems strange.

* After his first encounter with the Coolflames,why didn't Paperinik go to his usual technical expert (Gyro) to ask for more powerful weapons?

** Well,okay,but what about a in-story reason?

** Well,okay,but what about a in-story reason?

** Because the plot mandated otherwise.

** In the original Italian, they refer to each-other by male-specific pronouns, but I always figured it was because Italian lacks a gender-neutral pronoun.

** Not necessarily: most of their data was stated to be about the Evronians, and given how sneaky Xadhoom is when she cares of it they probably had just one occasion, when, during the events of issue #17, she was [[ThisIsGonnaSuck hallucinating that everyone was an Evronian]].

* In the BadFuture caused by the Raider's Death,Trip,his son,is adopted by the Organization to take his place,and become the Griffin.However,"Raider" is actually the title given to the best agent of the Organization.So why didn't Trip get it(especially given it was his dad's title)?
** Likely for the same reason that Nightwing doesn't have a bat-related name; [[ArcWords A Man's Got to Go His Own Way]]. Possibly also for practicality, and/or safety: Trip calling himself 'The Raider' would practically scream a connection to the previous holders of the title, potentially giving away his identity, making it easy for rogue or hostile temporal factions to eliminate him retroactively, or even for the Organization itself to do so, should he go turncoat on them.

* Why did Paperinik reveal his secret identity so easily to Xadhoom?For all the rest of the series is a big deal(even Lyla had to figure it out by herself).I understand telling it to One,so they can stay in contact also when he is not in costume,but all Xadhoom cared was his help in killing the most Evronians possible.
** Because of the shared experience; She understands better than anyone why he would prioritize keeping that hidden, as on the single occasion somebody worked out who she was, the situation almost instantly deteriorated from 'Leave no survivors' to that person having leverage over her, namely using the Xerbians as a bargaining chip; without that knowledge, the emperor would likely never have thought of that.

* In issue 17 "Fallen Star" One is monitoring a wounded Xadhoom,and assures Paperinik that his sensors would allert him if she tried to leave from the door or the window,but later Paperinik himself makes her go out from the door an One doesn't notice this.Why?
** This one is self-evident; If Paperinik did that, One likely trusted his judgment. And even if he bothered to object, [[HellSingAbridged what's he gonna do? Get that guy who can stop her? What was his name? Michael McDoesn'tExist?]]
** But a scene later he tries to warn One about it, implying the Ai wasn't aware.

* Why did Paperinik entrust General Westcock with the datapack containing Xadhoom's memories when he has a secret floor to keep it?In fact,why did he bring it with him during a mission to an ''Evronian'' base?
** [[SincerityMode I don't know, actually.]] Redundancy, perhaps: In case of Two returning yet again, it would be best if something that sensitive was kept away from him. If One wanted to access it for examination, he could do so easily, regardless of the distance. When did PK bring it ''with'' him? IIRC, it had been stolen, and he was just retrieving it.
*** I'm not talking about "In The Shadow":I'm talking about issue 44,when they traveled to the dark side of the Moon to negotiate peace with a group of Evronians.At the end of that mission he gave the datapack to Westcock while they were on the shuttle to go back to Earth,which means he had it with him all along

* In his first appearence tTwo stated he was able to monitoring everything in the Ducklair Tower;in fact it's how he learned Paperinik was suspecting One and [[MomentOfAwesome manipulated him in shutting him down]].Then how could he not know about Ducklair's return?

** Considering One was able to juggle between Paperinik and Ducklair I don't think Two would had problem.Then again,Ducklair came back fully knowing the Ai was the problem,so he probably had with him some kind of MacGuffin to not be detected.Of course it this was the case it would have been nice let us know.

* In Pk2 does Lyo know Paperinik's SecretIdentity?Donald is usually in costume around him,but issue 16 showes that he has no problem in changing in his civilian person inside the Century.

** Wait,what?What do you mean?

** ...Alright,I give up!Can you explain?

** Ok,are you trolling me?

* Didn't Paperinik gain PsychicBlockDefense in a training with Everett?Then how come he falls victim of Korinna?

** She absorbed the energy of Xerba's sun and can manipulate it in several ways, much like Superman: She can use it for flight, produce powerful blasts, turn intangible, shapeshift to a limited extent, as well as the classic FlyingBrick power of SuperStrength and SuperSpeed, as well as not neding food,water and air.

** Well,she said that the font of her powers are thermonuclear processes,so I think that by absorbing the power for the sun she bacame a minuature sun.Probably she menaged to turn herself into a sun by letting her powers grow without venting them.

* Why was Paperinik so reclutant in helping the PBI in "Operation Heaphestus"?He has done way more Dangerous things in the past.Heck,he once jumped on an Evronian ship with no hesitation to help Xadhoom.In the end he even destroy his badge of honorary PBI agent,something he was proud to be in past issues.Why?

* Considering that Evronians are born from spores that are planted by machines,does this mean they are a race with no genders?

** In the original Italian,they refer to each-other by male-specific pronouns.but I always figured it was because Italian lacks a gender-neutral pronoun.

*** So there ''is'' an EquivalentExchange aspect to it? In creating the new Xerbian sun, she simply ''returned'' the energy to form a new star?

** She absorbed the energy of Xerba's sun and can manipulate it in several way,much like Superman.Sha can use it to fly,produce powerful blast,turn intangible,shapeshift to a limited extent,as well as the classic FlyingBrick power of SuperStrength and SuperSpeed,as well as not neding food,water and air.

* This may well be an odd question, considering how many I've answered, but what exactly are Xadhoom's powers?

** Likely, he lost it again after some time. Hard to use a skill you don't regularly get to practice, after all.
