* EvilTwin: [[spoiler:"Dark Twain" is constantly stalking around the ship, until they finally meet up with the comet. However, in a case of DarkIsNotEvil, Dark Twain isnt so much evil as melancholy and weary of life, and as the regular Twain notes, he's not whole without him.]]

* WomenAreWiser: Adam didn't really seem to grasp the facts of life until around middle-age or so. In fact, during Cain and Abels childhoods, he operated under the assumption that they were some odd breed of fish, and later, bear. In Eve's words; "He is self-educated, and really knows a multitude of things. But none of them are true".
** Unusual for this story, Adam doesn't actually eat the Apple of Eden until after the Fall and loss of the Garden. If Eve hadnt offered him the Fruit of Knowledge, he'd likely have starved to death in the wasteland.

At the same time, not only is he very cordial to the children, going as far as offering their favorite snacks, at no point he tries to harm the children even telling them to step aside when kills the clay village because they might get hurt.

First of all, discard any historical knowledge you might have of Samuel Clemens, because in this world, he doesn't exist. But his ''nom de plume,'' Creator/MarkTwain, is real, and so are Tom Sawyer, Huck Finn, and Becky Thatcher. [[CelebrityParadox Yeah, we know. Just roll with it.]] In this world, Mark Twain also has a [[CoolAirship Cool]] {{Steampunk}} [[CoolAirship Airship]], which he intends to ride into outer space to chase Halley's comet. Tom, Huck, and Becky catch word of his balloon and sneak onboard, joining Mr. Twain on a journey beyond the stratosphere to chase the comet. How do they pass time onboard the airship? By telling (and living) stories, of course. Famous Mark Twain stories. Like ''Literature/TheAdventuresOfTomSawyer.'' ([[FridgeLogic We know. Again.]]) And ''The Diary of Adam and Eve.'' And ''Literature/TheMysteriousStranger.''

Mark Twain, "the most conspicuous man on the planet," believed his destiny was linked to the comet.\\
\\
He wrote: "The Almighty has said, no doubt, 'There go those two unaccountable freaks; they came in together, they must go out together.'"\\
\\
In 1910, as Halley's comet glowed again in the night sky, Twain wrote: "It is the final chapter," and he never wrote again. On April 21, 1910, he died.''

Attempting to [[DescribeTopicHere describe]] ''The Adventures of Mark Twain'' in any sane fashion is probably an exercise in futility. But what the heck. We'll give it a shot.
