Net Spectre 899 Posted October 26, 2016 6 minutes ago, NightWonder7 said: I too believe he wasn't popular among his family. A wealthy family. He was seen as mad by many people. I'm not sure though where he exactly originated; whether it be New England, UK or somewhere entirely else. But he was located in New England the day he was dragged to the island. I saw that connection too! Ha! Truly, strange minds think alike. As for the location confusion, I believe I had detailed the reason during another one of my AU ramblings in the Hallowed Nights topic. In the wealthy British families there was a practice - if a family had an unwanted family member (almost always male), they sent him away to the one of the British colonies (where they owned an estate, or maybe even a few!), with an expectation that he'll stay away. The family also regularly sent money to said pariah. The historical term for this is "remittance man", by the way. This both explains what Wilson is doing in the New England and how the heck is he able to live in that menacing mansion and buy enough food and stuff for his experiments, even though he very obviously spends all his time holed up in his house and away from people - his family has exiled him there and is paying for all of his needs. So many warning signs too - he isn't popular at his new place either, heh. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I kinda have my own backstory about him. Albeit not as dark and insane as your theories but still has it's bad parts. It's actually kinda sad when you think about it. 2 hours ago, NightWonder7 said: Let it Burn I had to sing this.

Same for the rest of the gang. "The fire goes in the pit, Higgsbury!" Said the man who had managed to set stone on fire. As far as the Blob comics go, "Don't Smoke" is my favorite. The end kills me each time I see it, because Willow. Edited October 26, 2016 by Net Spectre 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Net Spectre 899 Posted October 28, 2016 "Make sure that the intermediate solution is a proper blue hue before adding hydrofluoric acid, or the acidity of the final mixture will be too high and not suitable for discreet usage, as its presence will be easily traceable due to the severity of the resulting burns. Please don't forget to wear proper protective goggles during the process."
