Intro: Happy Hogan
Hello, everyone! I'm KC, and I slipped in just under the game start wire without much preparation at all. But I guess that works, since no one is prepared to find themselves sitting in a tree in New Zealand, least of all the MCU's Happy Hogan.

He's showing up at game start after that incredibly awkward conversation with May at the end of Spider-Man: Far From Home—thanks for that, Peter. He'll be rooming with Jacen Solo, Rose Ward, and Wanda Maximoff in #105, which is such a random assortment of characters, and I love it.

I will likely be bringing in one or two more characters (H50? HP? SW?), but thought I would start out with Happy. Please feel free to break his brain a little. Looking forward to writing with you all!

	HAPPY. I adore Happy. We shall have to throw them together and see what happens. :) (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Absolutely! They would have crossed paths at Tony's funeral, but also maybe some time during the Blip too. I imagine Happy was still around the Avengers Compound in an Asset Management capacity. He's still a little resentful of the Superfriends, but he would know that Carol saved Tony's life, so the Space Woman would probably be his favorite of the Avengers.

	Carol says you are owed many beers, Happy. Sharon understands your thoughts. Sabrina, overall, likes the cut of your jib. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I may have done another round of adds just to get him in because HAPPY. My MCU characters are Morgan and Natasha who will both be pleased to see him. SURPRISE, your niece is now a teenager? Jacen is also mine so have fun rooming with a Jedi! (Reply to this) (Thread)

Thank you!

Yes, that will definitely make Happy's head spin. Also, he knows how much harder it is to keep tabs on a teenager than a five year old.

I mentioned in a comment above that I imagine that Happy was still in and out of the Avengers Compound during the Blip. The Asset Management thing is more about maintaining the tech and facilities, but maybe he's also Natasha's go-to-guy? He has always had mad respect for her ever since she totally upstaged him, twice, during IM2.

	👍👍👍 this works for me (Reply to this) (Parent)

	blipbeard 2021-05-02 01:23 am UTC (link)
	Oh, and yes. Is there canon puncturing? Would Happy be aware of Star Wars? Because I could totally see him being one of those people who talks about Star Wars like it's some sophisticated form of High Art. Don't mess with his childhood. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	roza 2021-05-02 01:26 am UTC (link)
	Yep, my general rule with canon puncturing is just make sure players are cool with their characters being punctured but I am personally fine with it for Jacen. He and Jaina are early arrivals so they have probably stumbled across Star Wars being a thing by now, anyway since it's such a hugely popular one! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blipbeard 2021-05-02 01:49 am UTC (link)
	Sounds good! I don't think there would be any puncturing on Happy's end. More just a general sense of wonderment internally. Jedi! (Reply to this) (Parent)

Hi KC! I'm Sarah. I love Happy. And would love to get you enabled into a SW character if you're open to it :)

I have <a href="Chel! I am so excited you are here. It's Sarah, btw. Ha, I had 4 males and said the same thing before snatching up Peggy. I am going to watch the rest of FATWS before interacting with Sharon, but I am excited for her and Peggy!! So let's figure that out. Same with Carol of course!

	blipbeard 2021-05-02 01:52 am UTC (link)
	Hi, Sarah! It would be either canon Luke or Han. I've only played them from the OG trilogy, but wouldn't be opposed to the challenge of playing them from the latest one. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bailorgana 2021-05-02 01:53 am UTC (link)
	I mean, like I said in chat, I'd love either of them for very different reasons for Bail of course!! Ha. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Hi KC! Kara will love Happy for sure. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	blipbeard 2021-05-02 01:54 am UTC (link)
	I feel like whatever I do with him, it needs to involve him somehow having to wrangle up a bunch of superheros. It would drive him crazy and I'm here for it. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	russiandoll 2021-05-02 01:45 am UTC (link)
	Also please to be giving us Danno. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	blipbeard 2021-05-02 01:54 am UTC (link)
	Yes, I think I have to. I've been re-watching the last season since last night, haha. (Reply to this) (Parent)

Hello! I'm Hannah, and from the MCU I have Bucky Barnes and Karen Page plus Duke Crocker (Haven) and Quentin Coldwater (The Magicians).

Karen will likely know who Happy is through his connection with Tony, but that would really be the extent of it. And then Bucky of course will know who he is and vice versa but they won't *know* one another.

All of mine are open for anything. <3

Hi! I loved Haven and the Magicians, so yay! As for the MCU folks, I'm excited for interactions that canon denied us. I'm not sure how much Happy knows about what happened in CW, but he was around for all the fallout. So I imagine him watching Tony for cues, but also being super interested in Bucky, because, well. He's an interesting guy. What's with all the frozen soldiers?

	Hello! I only have Steve who would at least know of Happy? I am admittedly somewhere in the middle of a very traumatic re-watch of the MCU so my memories of Endgame are fuzzy !!! (Reply to this) (Thread)

I feel for you. I have had a really really really hard time watching anything in the MCU really ever since Endgame. And I've only seen Endgame once. I just can't bring myself to sit through it again. Even the parts that aren't heartbreaking.

But yes. I think Steve would definitely know Happy, just because Happy was usually in Tony's orbit in some capacity. I don't think Happy would have known about Tony and Steve burying the hatchet, but he's very 🍿about the whole thing, though obviously Team Iron Man.

	I'm so glad you're here!!! I have Emmeline Vance, Hannah Abbott, Fili, Violet Parr and Shuri! Technically Violet and Emmeline are the only two in play right now, Hannah comes in tomorrow and Fili comes in on the 4th. Shuri will be around the 7th. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	blipbeard 2021-05-02 02:24 am UTC (link)
	Thank you for inviting me!! I need to get my other characters sorted out. The idea of Happy meeting Shuri in all of her tech genius glory amuses me to no end. I need to figure out ways for Happy to have to use bits of technology that he doesn't understand. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Heyyyy KC! I have Peter's facetwin here which will probably confuse Happy (Reply to this) (Thread)

	blipbeard 2021-05-02 02:25 am UTC (link)
	Hello! Yes, this will definitely confuse him and I am here for it. By the time he comes across Wylan, Happy will probably have met his Jedi roommate, so it will just be a bit of why the hell not? about the whole face twin thing. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I LOVE HAPPY I have three (Kili; Jesper Fahey) but Sam is most important... I am realizing I don’t know the mcu timeline so I don’t know what Happy knows yet lmao (Reply to this) (Thread)

	blipbeard 2021-05-02 02:49 am UTC (link)
	I think the events of FAWS happened while Peter was away on his summer trip. But I don't think there's anything in FAWS that gives an exact date. So we could probably just work it out how we want to, whether or not Happy would know about the new Cap. So if you want him to know, he can know. If you want it to be a dramatic reveal, he can not know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	keepfighting 2021-05-02 03:11 am UTC (link)
	the director of fatws said it takes place ~6 months after endgame, but yeah i don't think there's a specific date in the show either. i think people were brought back in october? mcu, why so complicated. i'm happy to say that happy (lol) and others would know, however!! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blipbeard 2021-05-02 03:12 am UTC (link)
	I know that the battle in London was July 2024, which is nine months after Endgame. So maybe he would know? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	keepfighting 2021-05-02 03:22 am UTC (link)
	i think he probably would! maybe he's talked to rhodey about it, since it seems unlikely he'd talk to sam about it in their world. but they can talk about it when sam gets here :D (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blipbeard 2021-05-02 03:36 am UTC (link)
	For sure. New Cap! Exciting stuff, lol. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Hi! I am Danika and I've got my cast list here: http://thekillingedge.insanejournal.com/52662.html So mostly: Wanda Maximoff because MCU, post WandaVision and then TJ Hammond having baby!Bucky-face depending on how Happy takes the Bucky Barnes cues from Tony. I love Happy. I am excite (Reply to this) (Thread)

	blipbeard 2021-05-02 03:20 am UTC (link)
	I'm amused at Wanda and Happy being roommates. He's always been a little resentful of the Avengers in the sense that the world got weird and Tony got busy. So I think it will be fun to put him in close quarters with one. Face twins are going to give him a headache. (Reply to this) (Parent)
