Background

Scott William Pilgrim is the eponymous central protagonist of the Scott Pilgrim series.

The following contains the following biology of Scott Pilgrim:

Early life

When Scott was three, his parents had a second daughter, Stacey.

Scott was born in Peterborough, Ontario, and moved to Northern Ontario at the age of 16. On his first day at St. Joel's Catholic High School, Scott got into a fight with three older boys, Scott lost the fight and was brought to the principal's office. Whilst waiting outside, Scott met Lisa Miller, and over the next couple of days, Lisa constantly bothered Scott, and eventually became his friend.

Whilst at St. Joel's, Scott met Kim Pine, who was signed up as his partner for a presentation in history class, and the two became friends, to which Kim seemed less than pleased due to believing that Scott would slack off and make her do all the work. Lisa planned to form a band with Scott in order to "transcend [their] class status" and become cool, however, Scott pointed out that there was only two of them and that the duo was lacking a drummer. Later at a school band concert, Scott noticed that Kim was playing the drums for the band, prompting them both to consider asking her to join their band.

On a Monday, Scott arrived at school to find various students unconscious on the floor, Lisa arrives, revealing to Scott that a bunch boys from Benvie Tech High School, known as the Benvie Tech Boys, came, kidnapped Kim, and beat everyone up. Scott then rushes to Benvie Tech in order to save Kim, and his history presentation. Scott battled through Benvie Tech, effortlessly defeating the Benvie Tech Boys and finally reached their leader on the rooftop, Simon Lee, who had chained up Kim, keeping her prisoner. Scott fought Simon, and eventually defeated him, kicking him off the edge of the roof. Scott then held hands with Kim, and told her that he thought they should be dating. Kim revealed she shared his feelings for her, and Scott then asked Kim if she wanted to join his band, Kim agreed to both, and the two shared a kiss. This event was later revealed to be a false memory implanted by Gideon Graves, and in reality, Simon was just some nerdy kid who briefly dated Kim before Scott punched him in the face out of a fit of jealousy.

In the following weeks, Scott enjoyed his time in high school, performing at St. Joel's Lunchapalooza with the band, named Sonic & Knuckles, and spending time with Kim, however, this came to a sudden end when Scott's family moved to Toronto, leaving Kim behind. It is eventually revealed that Scott didn't tell Kim about this, and he, in fact, told Lisa Miller, causing a rift between the two.

University

At some point Scott attended the University of Toronto and befriended Stephen Stills and Wallace Wells (the latter of which befriended Scott in the similar manner to how Lisa did).Whilst there, Stephen dated Julie Powers and Scott was introduced to her nerdy roommate, Natalie Adams. Despite Julie's attempts to keep Scott from dating her, the two formed a relationship. During the relationship, Scott, Natalie, and Stephen Stills formed a band called Kid Chameleon, and Natalie began to change, she sold off all her toys and anime stuff and bought CDs and boots and asked Scott to start calling her Envy. As the relationship progressed, Envy became increasingly distant to Scott. As Kid Chameleon progressed, Envy began to take control, bringing Cole in as a drummer to replace Scott, moving Scott to bass, and moving the current bassist, Steph Nordegraf, to bongos and viola. Natalie then added another, unnamed guitarist to the band, increasing the band's members to six. Scott and Envy's relationship eventually reached breaking point and on New Year’s Eve, the two had a big argument which resulted in them breaking up. Scott and Stephen Stills left Kid Chameleon and Envy eventually formed her own band. Scott took the breakup badly, causing him to become severely distraught over the slightest mention of Envy's name.

Post-college

During the next two years, Scott finished his course at university, (although he is completely unaware if he graduated or not, due to his depression after the break-up) and formed the band, Sex Bob-omb, with Stephen Stills and Kim, who had moved to Toronto, whilst he rented an apartment with Wallace.

Some considerable time later, Scott met Knives Chau, a seventeen-year-old high schooler, whilst on a bus with her mother, and the two started dating, the primary reason being that Scott found the relationship easy and simple as all he did was ride the bus with her and talk about school. Despite Scott's attitude and questionable dating, Scott had an increasing sense of loneliness.

Whilst dating Knives, Scott had an unusual dream about a mysterious girl he'd never met before, causing him to become distracted when on dates with Knives, Scott then saw the girl at a library, further distracting him. Later on, Scott and his friends went to a party at Julie's and Scott saw the girl again, removing any doubt that she wasn't real, Scott then tried, rather unsuccessfully, to chat her up. Failing, Scott promised to leave her alone forever, and then secretly stalked her until she left the party, afterwards, Scott asked various party members about her to try and find some information about her, he discovers that her name is Ramona Flowers, and that she is a delivery girl for the online retailer, Amazon. The next day, Scott orders some CDs from Amazon.ca in order to get another chance at meeting Ramona, unaware of the fact that it was a Saturday and that the CDs wouldn't ship until Monday and completely forgetting about his pseudo relationship with Knives. Whilst on the computer, Scott received an unusual E-mail about an upcoming fight, Scott however, dismisses the message and deletes it on the grounds of being boring.

Meeting Ramona Flowers

On Monday, Ramona arrived with Scott's package and Scott asked her out. Ramona revealed that the reason why Scott had a dream about her was that she was using the Subspace Highway running through his head as a shortcut for her deliveries. Ramona then agreed to go out with Scott as compensation for using his mind as a shortcut and ultimately making him become obsessed. Whilst on the date, Ramona talked about her past and mentions a guy named Gideon, when Scott asked about him, Ramona quickly changed the subject. Eventually, the two were hit by a sudden snowstorm, forcing them to go back to Ramona's Apartment. Whilst there, Scott stumbles upon Ramona, who had gone upstairs to change out of her wet clothes and the two embrace a kiss.The two then moved to the bed; however, Ramona stopped before the two had sex, but allowed Scott to spend the night. In the morning, Scott invited Ramona to his band's gig at The Rockit, alongside another band, Crash and the Boys, forgetting that he'd also invited Knives to the gig.

The Seven Evil Exes

Crash and the Boys and Matthew Patel

At the concert, Knives Chau arrived and gave Scott a highly affectionate kiss, her appearance was closely followed by Ramona's. Realizing his own stupidity, Scott quickly ran off, feigning the need to pee, and then hid backstage. After Crash and the Boys finished their set, Sex Bob-omb started their gig, which was quickly interrupted when a mysterious man burst through the club's ceiling challenging Scott to a fight, Scott easily countered the attack, sending him flying. When asked by Scott who he was, the man, Matthew Patel, revealed that he was Ramona's first Evil Ex boyfriend. After a short bout, Ramona revealed the history between her and Matthew. Afterward, he summoned a group of Demon Hipster Chicks and attempted to defeat Scott in a Bollywood-style fight. Scott easily countered, with help from his friends and quickly defeated Matthew Patel, receiving a small reward of $2.10, which wasn't even enough for the subway back home. Ramona agreed to give Scott the remaining money and quickly left with Scott.

Whilst on the train back home, Ramona revealed that she has Seven Evil Exes and that Scott must defeat each Ex in order to date her, to which Scott casually agrees, Scott then asked if Gideon was one of the Evil Exes, causing Ramona to become angered and making her head Glow.

Breakup with Knives Chau

Over the following days, Scott discovered that Ramona's next Evil Ex is Lucas Lee, a famous movie star, and former skater. Whilst dating Ramona, Scott was encouraged by Wallace to break-up with Knives, to which Scott grudgingly agreed. Scott broke up with Knives shortly after she awkwardly confessed her love for him, leaving Knives heart-broken, although Scott was initially saddened and guilted by breaking-up with Knives, he quickly got over it when he started thinking about Ramona.

As Scott and Ramona's relationship continued, Ramona revealed a little more about her past life including her relationship with Lucas. Later on in the week, Scott travelled to Casa Loma with Wallace to confront Lucas Lee, who was filming his latest movie there. Upon meeting Lucas, Scott became star struck and asked Lucas for his autograph as opposed to fighting him, leaving Scott vulnerable and allowing Lucas to punch Scott to the ground and then throw him into the side of the castle, causing Scott to pass out. When Scott woke up, Lucas offered him a break and the two talked about his relationship with Ramona, causing Lucas to cry, Lucas then offered Scott the opportunity to throw the fight as long as Scott gave Lucas all his money, Scott instead called Lucas a sell-out, angering him. Scott quickly got out of the situation by goading Lucas into performing a grind trick on a nearby grind rail, Lucas accepted, but near the end of the trick, Lucas accumulated too much speed, and burst into flames, making Scott victor by default. After "defeating" Lucas, Scott received roughly fourteen dollars and a Mithril Skateboard, which Scott was unable to use as he lacks skateboard proficiency.

Lee's Palace

Sometime after, Scott received a call from his ex-girlfriend, Envy, inviting Sex Bob-omb to open a gig for her band, The Clash at Demonhead, at Lee's Palace. The call stirs old feelings inside Scott, the aftermath of which leaves Scott in a temporal, comatose-like state.

Later on, Scott unwillingly went to Lee's Palace with Ramona and the rest of his friends to see The Clash at Demonhead perform. When the band started their gig, Ramona revealed that Todd, the band's bassist and current boyfriend of Envy, is, in fact, her third Evil Ex-boyfriend, Todd Ingram.

After the performance, Scott and his friends were invited backstage by Envy Adams. During an awkward gathering, Scott, angered by Todd's arrogance and cockiness, attacked Todd. Todd avoided this attack and his hair began to stand on end and his eyes began the glow. Todd then managed to telekinetically throw Scott through a wall of Lee's Palace. After this, Envy revealed that Todd is a Vegan, which grants him psychic powers. After a small bout, Envy arranges to conclude the battle the next day at Honest Ed's.

The next day, Scott, Todd, Envy, and others met up at Honest Ed's. Envy then revealed the rules of the battle, which is to race through Honest Ed’s, emerge on the other end, and defeat each other. The race started, and the two went inside Honest Ed's. Whilst there, Scott and Todd suffered from sensory overload due to the masses of items available, the full effects of which were partial blindness, hallucinations, and mental instability. Eventually, Todd lost control of his mental powers, and caused Honest Ed's to implode, stopping the battle at the tie.

Eventually, the night of Sex Bob-omb's performance arrived, and the band got on stage to perform. In an attempt to gain popularity, all three members dressed in black and promised to make the audience "think about death and get sad and stuff." However, before the band could play, Scott leaped off of the stage to intervene in a fight between Ramona and Envy that started whilst the band was preparing. After this, it was revealed to Envy that Todd had been cheating on her with the Clash at Demonhead's drummer Lynette. Outraged, Envy attacked Lynette and Todd, the latter of whom retorted by offensively using his vegan powers on Envy, claiming immunity to moral boundaries due to his rock star status.

The vegan

After this, Scott attacked Todd, making Scott's battle with Ramona's third Evil Ex underway. The battle started as a Bass Battle, however, Scott was quickly outmatched by Todd's superior Bass-playing prowess and was knocked back by a zap from Todd's psychic powers. After being knocked back, Scott was assisted by Crash and the Boys who had a hostile takeover and were now under the name of The Boys!! And Crash! They revealed to Scott that they had learned to manipulate sound waves through sheer willpower alone. They planned to use Todd's own sound waves to propel Scott toward Todd for direct attack; however, the band found Todd's bass power was too powerful for them to handle and all four of them were knocked back. Just when Scott's chances of success seemed minor, two characters showed up, calling themselves the Vegan Police. The Vegan Police arrived to arrest Todd for Veganity violation due to him eating Gelato (which contains milk and eggs) that afternoon. The two then used a Deveganizing Ray ray to strip Todd of his psychic powers, rendering him completely vulnerable. Scott then effortlessly defeated Todd with a powerful headbutt attack, shattering Todd into coins.

The next day, Scott talked to Envy as she left home after the ordeal involving Todd. Although Scott hoped to gain some kind of closure to their relationship, all he got was an awkward goodbye as Envy departed for the airport. Despite being let down by this, Scott is reassured by Ramona, who announced that Scott only had four more exes to defeat in order to be Ramona's official boyfriend.

Getting it together

Two months later, Scott and his friends traveled to the beach to stay at Julie's auntie's beach house. During their time at the house, Scott came across Kim and Knives, who were drunkenly making out after talking about their failed relationships. Freaked out, yet amused Scott decided to keep the secret to himself and announced to the rest of the group that they must have gone home.

Back in Toronto, Scott and Stephen helped Kim move into a new apartment with her friend Hollie, whilst there, Stephen noticed Hollie's roommate, Joseph, who had a recording studio in his room, prompting him to want to record an album for Sex Bob-omb. As Scott and Ramona's relationship continued to grow, Scott began to ask more about Ramona's personal life, such as her age. However, Ramona remained secretive, refusing to tell Scott how old she was.

Reunion with Lisa Miller

The next day, Scott was ordered out of his apartment by Wallace due to a heat wave and lack of proper ventilation in their apartment, Scott agreed and went to the mall. Whilst there, Scott was recognized by a female, who quickly came up to Scott and embraced him. Upon realizing that Scott didn't recognize her, the girl revealed to Scott that she was Lisa Miller, a friend of Scott's when he attended St. Joel's Catholic High School. The two then talked about their lives since their departure and Scott mentioned that he still knows Kim and that she made out with a girl. When Lisa left, she gave Scott her phone number so he could contact her whilst she's in Toronto. The next day, Scott took Lisa to band practice so she could see Kim, however, upon arrival at Stephen's house, they found no-one apart from Young Neil, who didn't seem to know where anyone was. The two then travelled to Hollie's Apartment and found Stephen there in Joseph's room who revealed that everyone else was at Sneaky Dee's. At Sneaky Dee's, Lisa met up with Kim and the two caught up with their recent activities. Later that night, Ramona arrived at Sneaky Dee's. Whilst there, Ramona talked with Lisa, causing Scott to grow nervous due to unresolved sexual tension between the two.

In the following morning, Scott has a Zelda-esque dream when Ramona bumped into him. When Scott complained about Ramona's constant dream invasion, Ramona suggested that Scott should get a job so he wouldn't oversleep and thus Ramona wouldn't invade his dreams whilst working. Scott then spent the day asking his various friends whether there was any available job at their workplaces. When Scott arrived at No-Account Video to ask Kim, Kim took Scott to The Happy Avocado, Stephen's workplace, as there was dishwashing job available there. Despite being reluctant to take the job offer, Scott eventually agreed to take the job. On the way back, Scott and Kim are attacked by a guy with a samurai sword who cut straight through a passing streetcar to reach them. Scott, terrified by the man's presence, opened a door to the subspace highway, allowing the two to escape. Confused by the encounter, Kim left Scott, claiming she had to go.

In the following days, Sex Bob-omb continued to record their album and spend their nights at Sneaky Dee's with the rest of their friends, practicing less and less to the dismay of Young Neil, who began to feel that his friends were abandoning him. On their way back home from these nights, Ramona began to casually ask Scott about Lisa and if he had any romantic feelings for her, to which Scott denied. The next morning Scott and Wallace travelled to the office of their landlord, Peter who wished to have a meeting with them. Whilst there, Peter, revealed that the lease for their apartment was up and that they would have to leave or pay month to month to continue living there. The two, dumbfounded by their current predicament, left each other and Scott went to face his first day of work at the Happy Avocado. After his day at work, a tired Scott started to make his way back home when he got attacked by a mysterious black blur. Scott managed to attack the blur, revealing it to be a female ninja, who Scott had succeeded in punching in the boob. After leaving Scott with a cryptic message, the mysterious ninja woman left, leaving Scott confused. That same night, the group performed the usual routine of recording at Hollie's apartment and eating at Sneaky Dee's. With Ramona absent, Lisa asked Scott to walk her home and whilst doing so, Lisa made a drunken pass at Scott, which he turned down. Back at his apartment, Scott talked to Wallace about their situation regarding the apartment, Wallace suggests that Scott move in with Ramona, to which Scott is uncertain of.

The fourth ex

The next day, Scott was walking to the Happy Avocado with Stephen Stills when he noticed the mysterious man who had attacked him a couple of days ago. Scott hid whilst the man walked past, confusing Stephen. Whilst at the Happy Avocado, Stephen mentioned that he may have seen him before, but was interrupted by Scott when he sees the ninja girl who had also attacked him. Scott then asked Stephen who the girl was talking to, and Stephen discovered it was Scott's girlfriend, Ramona. Confused, Scott went to confront the two. After talking to the two, it eventually dawns on Scott that Ramona had a "sexy phase" in college and that the girl was Ramona's fourth evil ex, Roxie Richter. Roxie prepared to attack Scott, however, Scott was reluctant as she had a sword. Ramona then agreed to help Scott and allowed him to hide in her mysterious Subspace Suitcase in exchange for a weapon. Ramona travelled to Subspace, where she battled Roxie with Scott still in her suitcase. Although Ramona initially appeared to have the upper hand, Roxie quickly outclassed her with superior speed and knocked her to the ground, leaving her with some hurtful words.

After the fight, Scott talked to Ramona about the situation regarding his apartment and Ramona, rather reluctantly, agrees to let Scott move in with her. As Lisa began to spend more time around with Scott and the gang, Ramona began to grow suspicious of Lisa's feelings towards Scott. Ramona eventually confronts Scott about this, leading to an argument which resulted in Ramona leaving Scott to go back to her place alone. Scott then went back to his apartment, where he was greeted by Wallace and some guy having sex. Wallace then proceeded to tell a mentally scarred Scott that he was fired from his job and that he couldn't stay the night. Scott then walked around the neighbourhood, unsure where he'll stay until he rummags through his pockets and realised he had Lisa's number, which he had received earlier. With no other option, Scott called Lisa so he could spend the night.

Whilst at Lisa's sister's apartment, Lisa confessed that she still had feelings for Scott and that she had been intentionally dressing provocatively for Scott. The two then talk about high school and how they never expressed their feelings towards each other and Lisa throws herself at Scott, suggesting they should have a relationship. Scott then blacks out and, after having a dream representing his torment which was invaded by Roxie, awakes with no recollection of what happened. Lisa reveals that Scott confessed his love of Ramona to Lisa. After Scott heard this, he realised how important the relationship was to him and Scott immediately set off to reconcile with Ramona. However, before doing so, Scott went back to the Happy Avocado to get his job back, which he succeeds in doing, despite wearing the same shirt from the day before.

After completing his shift, Scott went to Second Cup to get a free coffee from his sister only to find Knives Chau working there. As Scott is about to leave, he notices the man who attacked him earlier, who Knives casually reveals is her dad. Knives then explains to Scott that her dad's brain must have cracked open to be replaced by, "a purely mechanical engine of revenge" after he discovered that Knives dated a white guy. Knives' dad then spotted Scott and gave chase. Scott attempted to lose Mr. Chau through Subspace; however, upon landing in Subspace, Scott found himself him Ramona's head, where she was being held as a slave for a mysterious figure in glasses. When Ramona noticed Scott, she freaked out, and forcibly removed him from Subspace, while Ramona was initially angry about this, she calmed down after she realised it wasn't his fault and told him to forget what he saw. Scott then admitted that he spent the night at Lisa's, making Ramona believe Scott was in love with Lisa. However, before Scott had time to deny this, it was revealed that Roxie spent the night at Ramona's. Seeing this disorientated Scott and cause his head to Glow just as Ramona's had previously. Scott then wandered off and came across a Shadowy Doppelganger of himself. Scott, repulsed by the figure, charged straight through it and went back to Ramona's apartment.

There, Scott came across Mr. Chau, who had followed Scott through Subspace. Scott ran through Ramona's apartment, not wanting to fight Mr. Chau because he had a sword. Scott made his way to the bathroom, and in pursuit of Scott, Mr. Chau bumped into Roxie who, believing Mr. Chau to be an assassin sent by Gideon to complete Roxie's mission, attacked him. Whilst fighting Mr. Chau, Roxie came to the conclusion that Scott is just a pussy who can't fight his own battles. After hearing this, Scott mans up to tell Ramona he loves her. Doing so gave Scott over 9,999 experience points, causing Scott to level up and earned the Power of Love. Now possessing a sword of his own, Scott confronts Roxie and defeated her in a mid-air clash, slicing Roxie in two and causing her to burst into a group of furry woodland critters. After this, Scott apologise to Mr. Chau for dating his daughter. Mr. Chau accepts, signified by a bow, showing that Scott had earned his respect. Sometime later, Scott moves into Ramona's apartment and the two enjoy the rest of summer. Saying goodbye to Lisa, Ramona also reveals to Scott that she is 24 and that her birthday is January the first.

Death of the Katayanagi Twins

As months passed, Scott's relationship with Ramona started to turn rather dull. The affection held between them stagnated to be of little worth, with Ramona returning to reclusivity, while Scott reverts to his most obnoxious state yet. Scott becomes particularly dubious of Ramona upon sighting the Gideon Graves letter again, becoming uncertain if their love endured beyond their intimate night conversation at Lisa Miller's fairwell party. With the band's album decaying and their social circle fragmenting, the arrival of the Katayanagi Twins, Ramona's fifth and sixth ex-boyfriends, pushes their relationship to worst state yet. During a gig arranged by the Twins, Scott Pilgrim fought a robot and broke his brother's bass in the process. Ramona then kicked Scott out of the apartment temporarily and Scott went on to live with Wallace for a while.

Wallace revealed information on Gideon Graves to Scott. Kim revealed that her and Hollie's relationship had also been strained, due to Kim's boyfriend Jason cheating on her with her roommate, and Young Neil had become even more of a dick, replying to questions frustratedly and sarcastically as well as smoking. Scott spent the night at Kim's place. They made arrangements so Scott could casually walk in while Kim and Ramona were talking, which turned out to work. Kim drew attention to Ramona's head glowing, the first time anyone had done so. But when they went to look in a mirror, it had stopped.

When at another one of Julie's parties, the Twins got Scott into fighting a Super Fighting Robot, a battle which he won. Scott went on to get drunk on tequila with Kim and Ramona. Scott and Ramona got home to their apartment where they had sex and afterward, Ramona asked Scott if it was true that he cheated on her with Knives Chau. After some persuasion, he confirmed this. Ramona's head started glowing again and Scott worried aloud that she might break up with him. Ramona was obviously disappointed in Scott for not being who she believed him to be and said that he was just another evil ex-boyfriend waiting to happen.

The following morning, Scott woke up to see that Ramona was no longer in their bed, although he quickly realized she was only in the shower. He picked up a phone call from Kim saying she needed help and he left the building. He found that the Twins had caught Kim in a cage. They worked together so they could fight him more effectively. It seemed like Scott was losing, so Kim tricked Scott into believing Ramona texted her saying she believes in him in order to motivate him. It worked and Scott successfully defeated both Twins. When Scott got back to the apartment, he found Ramona who had cut off her hair. Scott told Ramona that he loved her no matter what, but Ramona started crying and said goodbye to Scott before using the Glow to teleport herself out of the room. Scott accidentally locked himself out of the apartment not long after. Scott slept at Stephen's and then at Kim's again. Ramona's cat also ran away and Scott kept trying to lure it into coming back, but without success. Scott also talked to Wallace again and got to meet his new mystery boyfriend, Mobile.

Gideon Graves' warning

Kim decided to move back to her parents and Scott saw her off before she got on the bus. Scott apologized to her for behaving so badly, and she accepted. Then she left.

Scott ended up getting a new apartment paid for by his parents. His brother also visited him, and Scott mistook him for Gideon due to the fact that he wore glasses.

He read the note Ramona left Gideon earlier, saying she is leaving him, but Scott couldn't figure out why Ramona never sent him the note. Scott also got a phone call from someone he couldn't figure out who it is. The person revealed that he was Gideon, asking Scott when it would be convenient for him to die.

Breakup of Sex Bob-omb

Scott spent a lot of time postponing his fight with Gideon, dealing with Ramona dumping him by playing video games. He sometimes had nightmares including her, his other ex-girlfriends, and Gideon. Wallace encouraged Scott to sleep with women. He also hung out with Stephen Stills, who made it official that Sex Bob-omb had disbanded and that Stephen now had his own band that Scott wasn't a member of. Scott later got to meet the other members of the band. He also encountered Knives Chau who had now turned eighteen. She announced that she would move from Toronto after she graduated from high school. Scott suggested for them to have "casual sex", but Knives said that he had been a bad boyfriend and that she was finally over him, even though she still loved him. They decided to make out for a while instead but they were very unsatisfied with the turnout.

Scott also met Envy Adams at another party and tried to put the moves on her, but it didn't go very well. He asked her if she wanted to get back together or just have casual sex, which she didn't take very seriously. From his conversation with Envy, he gathered that his memories of their past relationship may not be entirely correct. Scott encountered Gideon but fled.

Ramona's cat also came back and spent the night in Scott's bed. Encouraged by Wallace, Scott went on a "wilderness sabbatical" to Kim's parents in order to cleanse his mind. He and Kim took a walk in the forest and while they were talking, Scott suddenly kissed her, and she kissed him back but stopped it rather quickly. She also reminded him that he did not remember exactly what it was like when they dated, specifically the details concerning Scott moving to Toronto, and how he beat up Simon Lee. Scott's head started glowing and Negascott emerged from the bushes. Scott tried to fight Negascott, but Kim told him that if he kept forgetting his mistakes, he would only make them again. He also started thinking about Ramona. This resulted in Scott merging with Negascott and getting his proper memories back. Scott then returned to Toronto.

Chaos Theatre

Scott went to the newly opened Chaos Theatre, owned by Gideon. He met Young Neil there and to the latter's great joy, referred to him as simply "Neil" when introducing him to Stacey Pilgrim. Envy was due to perform the songs of her new solo album at the opening of the club, and while she did so, Scott met Gideon in the crowd. They started to fight and Gideon was shocked to learn that Scott had been left by Ramona. He stole the Power of Love from Scott and invited him to join The League of Evil Ex-Boyfriends, but Scott declined. Gideon then killed Scott using the sword. Scott woke up in the Dream Desert, where he was reunited with Ramona. She apologised to him for being a lousy girlfriend and for being so selfish, leaving him for her own sake and returning for her own sake. Nevertheless, Scott started kissing her, before realizing that he was truly dead. But right in that moment, Scott was reminded that he had an Extra Life, and was thus revived.

Ramona also appeared at Chaos Theatre from Scott's head and Gideon revealed his evil plans to freeze her along with his other ex-girlfriends, awaiting the day when they would all go out with him. Gideon caused everyone's heads to start glowing. During the battle with Gideon, Scott and Ramona argued, and Gideon revealed that he had written a drunken rant on Craigslist which had resulted in the League of Evil Exes. Ramona tried to escape by using The Glow again, but it failed since Gideon ran her through with his sword. Gideon explained the true nature of his invention, the Glow, and what his and Ramona's relationship had been like. Scott used Subspace to travel to Ramona's head, where a far more powerful Gideon awaited him. However, Scott managed to headbutt Gideon, giving him the Glow. Gideon sliced Scott apart, but Ramona told him that even though part of her still belonged to him, the other ones were finished with him, summoning clones of her past selves. This convinced Gideon to get out of Ramona's head, but as he was about to attack Scott once they were back at Chaos Theatre Ramona let her Subspace Suitcase take the blow instead. The bag exploded and Ramona earned the Power of Love.

Scott suddenly realized how his incapability of handling relationships well was similar to Gideon's, which earned him a new sword, The Power of Understanding. Gideon revealed he had built a sword into Envy's dress in case of emergency, and started fighting the others. Ramona managed to disarm him however and together, she and Scott defeated him. Scott also patched things up with Envy, even though Gideon had briefly been her boyfriend. Scott and Ramona explained to some of their friends what had happened during the battle, and what Ramona had been doing when she left Scott, which turned out not to be much. Scott suggested they try to "hold on" and give their relationship another shot. Ramona was doubtful since she thought she couldn't change, but Scott told her it just took practice.

Later life

Scott went back to his old job at The Happy Avocado, which he had avoided going to for a long time. He was promoted to prep cook. Scott finally learned that Stephen was now in a relationship with Joseph, causing him to start fanboying and Joseph to tell Stephen he hated his friends.

Scott started a new band with Kim, named Shatter Band. They tried playing to "the only two people who could ever be their fans", Knives and Neil, but they did not like it since they had developed taste. The new band went on playing to Scott's cat anyway.

Knives said goodbye to Scott before leaving. Then, Scott arranged a meeting with Ramona, where they agreed to try again with their relationship. They took the door to Subspace and jumped together.

Powers and Abilities:

Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Human Achievements (Can play bass and can cook), Social Influencing (Had convinced Ramona to go out with him after she had decided not to), Martial Arts (Remarked as the best fighter in all of Providence, shown skill in CQC), Acrobatics, Weapon Mastery, Breaking the Fourth Wall and Precognition (Type 3. Aware he's in a comic book and already knows how the future events of the comic will play out), Toon Force, Shockwave Generation (His attacks create shockwaves), Limited Flight (Can stay in the air long enough to do a 64 hit combo), Forcefield Creation (Created a forcefield that blocked all of Matthew's attacks), Transmutation (Whenever he beats an evil exe they transform into coins, turned a chick into a coupon by accidentally kicking her), BFR and Empathic Manipulation (After Scott defeats the evil exes, they respawn in their homes, having learned their lessons), Law Manipulation (Subspace can shape reality to the user's liking. An example being Scott Pilgrim and the various video game-like aspects of the world, which are a result of Subspace and its perspective-based abilities), Perspective Manipulation (Potent Subspace users can use the perspective-based powers of Subspace to overwrite reality to fit how they view it in the real world), Avatar Creation (Has an avatar in subspace he unconsciously creates), Sound Manipulation (Can create destructive waves with his bass), Resurrection (With an extra life power up), Statistics Amplification (Via Scott realizing different forms of emotions [i.e. love, understanding, etc.] he "levels up" and amplifies himself to be able to one-shot people he could not previously one-shot or couldn't even beat. He will also be stat amped just from being encouraged by things like Ramona still caring for him, allowing him to one-shot the two twins he was losing to previously. Can also stat amp himself via various drinks), Dimensional Travel & Space-Time Manipulation (Characters can manifest doors directly to subspace, or even move between subspace and the real world through sheer force. Breaking the walls between subspace and the main universe), Mind Manipulation (Entering subspace had him enter Ramona's mind), Irreversible Damage (Can kill ones subspace avatar and kill their true form in the process), Attack Reflection (Gave Gideon the Glow), Sheer Will (Those who can access the powers of Subspace in the real world naturally require a strong will and determination to control them), Plot Manipulation (Types 2 & 3. Through the power of Subspace, characters can rewrite and manipulate the plotline of their story. It's also implied throughout the Scott Pilgrim series that Scott, along with other major characters, are protected by a sort of plot armor to help them in dire situations), Subjective Reality & Dimensional Storage (Whatever the user can imagine will be created in subspace. For instance, Scott manifested his love for Ramona as the Power of Love, which he can pull from and store in Subspace), Portal Creation & Summoning (As the powers of the characters originate from Subspace, they can create portals or summon beings and objects from their subspace), Resistance to Pain (Able to take multiple sword slashes from Gideon while arguing with Ramona), Mind Manipulation (Can survive inside Honest Ed's without breaking down which even a trained psychic like Todd couldn't do. Should also naturally resist conventional mind manipulation as his mind harbors subspace)

All previous powers and abilities, Accelerated Development (Gained a "level up" and was able to outskill Roxie Richter, a trained ninja, defeating her in a single blow), Healing (Healed all of Ramona's wounds), Weapon Creation (Created a katana)

All previous powers and abilities, Cloth Manipulation (Power of Understanding gave him a new t-shirt), Healing (All of his wounds were healed when he gained Power of Understanding)

All previous powers and abilities to an unknown extent. Regeneration (Low-Godly. Subspace avatars are avatars of pure cognition of one's true self and by extension can be restored by the true form at will), Immortality (Type 3, 5, 6, and 8. Subspace avatars are avatars of pure cognition of one's true self and by extension can be restored by the true form at will. Concepts such as death are irrelevant to them as even if one dies they will just be sent into subspace. Even spirits can freely pass through and from Subspace. All damage done to a subspace avatar means nothing to them, Scott could lose his limbs in subspace and be cut in half and would still be perfectly fine), Acausality (Type 3. Subspace is a different space-time where all rules are different (including death), thus it should by extension be a different system of causality), Perspective Manipulation (Perception is Law. People, items, and Mind Subspace itself are based on the nature of the person's mind, therefore, however, a person imagines Subspace is how it will appear. A good example is Scott's Dream Desert: this location is repeatedly used as a metaphor for Scott's loneliness but also is his projected image of Subspace at that time which Ramona is able to pass through), Law Manipulation (One’s subspace operates under their rules and systems which can extend even to the real world with characters like Gideon affecting Ramona’s Subspace), Reality Warping & Mind Manipulation (While Mind Subspace allows for others' own projected images of themselves to take on other forms, the individual whom the Subspace resides in retains all power and control within said mind. Through this, the character can shape themselves and Subspace to their liking all through their thoughts, perspectives, and desires), Power Nullification (A user of Subspace can completely nullify any connection an opponent has in that Subspace, regardless if they're more powerful or not. This is how Ramona was able to expel Gideon despite him being a master of Subspace and able to manipulate it inside anyone's mind), Dimensional Travel (Can enter his avatars at any point if he so desires even after death)

All previous powers and abilities. Sealing and Mind Manipulation (The mere touch of the Glow traps one inside their head with their own personal horrors and thoughts), Empathic Manipulation (The Glow causes people to start bickering and acting out of character if infected), Memory Manipulation (Can change the memories of those unexpectedly), Teleportation and Dimensional Travel (Gideon states that people with the Glow can "ride it" into subspace and has allowed Ramona to teleport out of sight), Power Nullification (Nullified Gideon's transformation and brought him back to normal with a single touch), Space-Time Manipulation and Pocket Reality Manipulation (Can manipulate and shape subspace, a separate space-time)

Standard Equipment: Fireglo Rickenbacker 4003 Bass Guitar, The Power of Love, The Power of Understanding, and a One Up.

Intelligence: Below Average regularly (Is somewhat naïve and stupid), Genius in combat (He's considered the best fighter in the Province and has defeated numerous foes. Won the All-Ontario Fighting Tournament when he was 19. Can copy various street fighter techniques and use them within combat, can think on the fly, and after gaining the power of love he was capable of beating a trained ninja in a sword fight. Along with defeating Gideon Graves, a subspace master)

Weaknesses: Sometimes dumb, lazy and stubborn and tends to ignore his own flaws rather than improve himself. However the last part he has learned to accept in the form of Nega Scott by Volume 6 removing that weakness. Does not like hitting girls and is normally completely against it. Though once he gains the power of love he is willing to do it.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

• Bass Guitar: Scott uses his bass guitar to create destructive sound waves.

• Reversal: Scott blocks the opponent's attack with his arm and counters with a powerful punch.

• Air Juggle: Scott launches his opponent into the air, he then proceeds to jump after them and punch them 63 times before dealing a 64th final punch that launches them downwards.

• Power of Love: A supernatural sword Scott can summon. Unlocked when he confessed his love for Ramona. It increases his "stats", making him more powerful.
  • Ninja Slash: A reference to the opening cutscene in Ninja Gaiden. Scott dashes forward at an incredible speed and slashes his opponent in half.

• Power of Understanding: A supernatural sword Scott can summon, more powerful than the Power of Love. Unlocked when he admits to his mistakes and that he needs to improve himself. Raises his "stats" even further.
  • X-Strike: A reference to the "X-Strike" Tech in Chrono Trigger. Scott and a team-mate (who is also wielding a sword) dash forward and slash their opponent at the same time, leaving an "X" shape behind.

Key: Volume 1-2 | Volume 3-5 | Volume 6 | Subspace Avatar
