~|Dumb Question: Marvel Rivals|~
8 months ago
People who know me, know I'm a -HUGE- Rocket Raccoon fan. I have read and owned every comic he's been featured in, since 2014, with a couple exceptions to the rule ( Had to liquidate my collection for space and bill related reasons ). So, I have to bite my tongue when people ask specific questions, because nobody needs the nerd-answers and his most random appearances ( Like the female version of him, Shocket Raccoon, who appeared in a 'Howard the Duck' series ). Now that aside, I have a question of my own:

Gorgeous picture, by the way, but needed it for reference. I have never played Marvel Rivals because my laptop is ancient and temporary, but see an ongoing trend with him 'Healing' people using his backside. I'm completely okay with this, mind you, but curious what the reference is in particular. I know he's nicknamed 'Pocket Healer' and is usually bending over, showing his ass, etc. So, what am I missing? Does he have a taunt similar to the Chua species in WildStar, where he waves his backside at enemies? XD
P.S: Shocket Raccoon's clothes color is purple instead of orange, for those curious.

"Pocket Healer" is an old derogatory gaming term for a healer who primarily heals one person; it conveniently ignores the context, which is that person usually taking the most damage and needing the most healing. The term gets used literally whenever a support character is small in comparison to the rest of the cast.
I never heard that phrase before, and I usually did play medic-dependent classes in games. Heavy on Team Fortress 2, Hunter on WoW when I wasn't messing around with Warrior, and RuneScape I usually run solo. Only exception was WildStar, but my Chua was a combat oriented Medic and used AOE's to rain chaos. I miss that combat engine, such unique aiming mechanisms...
Rocket's transformation provided unlimited munitions in his gooey weaponry, and only lasted a couple panels. Except warranted merchandise, regardless, such as a Funko Pop being sold. Seems nobody remembers him having his 'wish' granted in the 'Black Mirror' series of comics. Basically, a supernatural mirror which gave people their upmost desires. He briefly became, in canon, an ultra-muscular and beefed-up version of themselves.
Does this also count, ironically enough? XD
He spent the rest of the comic in his tight and white underwear, avoiding Kraven as best possible. Even passed out on a boat heading towards the 'Statue of Liberty' where people took photos with him, unconscious, and snipped fur from his tail as souvenirs. Not an important detail, obviously, but was humorous to read and see professionally drawn in a comic. -Snerk-
So, him wearing the 'tightie-whites' and complaining Earth sold no 'decent' and comfortable bodysuits? I assumed that inspired some of the 'wedgie' drawings which later became quite common with the heroic raccoon. Unless I legit missed something else in the canon, or maybe this comic is a coincidence with the fandom. xD
See? I told you, it's too automatic with me. -o- ~
Teasing aside, I'm constantly devising bad nicknames~.
I'm surprised I haven't heard that one before. x3
