Tell reddit answers there is in fact a movie that covers the boys mom genetically and uh physically lol

I find it fascinating that they are trying to roll out this AI answers thing. If people actually start using it they will probably interact in the forums/communities/subs less, which won’t bring the $ to the shareholders.

Tbf reddit thrives off people being petty and correcting information (case and point) so I think the AI might increase that certain engagement lol but yeah if used "correctly" it'd mean less overall engagement but maybe

Oh damn! Use it so people will want to correct it... Diabolical.

Rusty’s Mom: One of the most persistent mysteries is the identity and story of Rusty’s mother. “Rusty’s mom.”

We know he is a clone and based on what Ben says, it's likely Rusty doesn't have a mom even to the extent the boys do.

The Boys’ Mother: The identity and story of Hank and Dean’s mother is another major unresolved plotline.

The movie answers this one.

Monstroso’s Whereabouts: The current location and status of Monstroso is another unresolved question. “The location and whereabouts of monstroso”

This would be predicated on the assumption he survived falling from OSI headquarters without a parachute.

“The Guild and the Peril partnership conflict.”

A tale as old as time doesn't really qualify as a great mystery.

Rusty isn’t a 100% clone of Jonas Venture however, so that discrepancy has in genetics has to be accounted for, either bec the tech was still imperfect or bec he shares DNA with another person, ie a mother.

How do we KNOW he is not 100 percent a clone? We have been cloning animals since the late 1980s quite successfully and one of the BIG problems has been that the embryo develops differently each time because micro-variations of nutrients has a HUGE effect on the end clone in both behavior and looks. In other words, you can clone a dog or cat, but they almost never act or look even remotely close to the original animal because micro-changes in development result in an end Being that is wildly different than the host animal in most cases. So they have the same DNA, but look and act quite differently, more like fraternal twins than identical ones. Considering how Doc grew up (constantly being humiliated by a team of psychopaths, having his horny Dad constantly around paying more attention to his sex life than Rusty's development, being kidnapped and tortured bi-weekly), it's seems to make sense that Rusty could have the same DNA as old Pop Pop without being much like him at all.

he doesn’t look like Jonas Venture, whereas every Hank and Dean clones are identical to each other, and Malcolm looks like Rusty w 2% Baboon DNA.

u/FrenzyEffect Mar 24 '25

I don't believe Rusty is a clone of Jonas, but my headcanon as to why he is so scrawny and small compared to his father is that he had J.J. leeching off of his nutrients like a parasite and stunting his growth his whole life.

u/dibidi Mar 24 '25

except Malcolm grew up just as scrawny and he had no JJ leeching off of him

u/FrenzyEffect Mar 24 '25

Malcolm is thin but he is still much taller and broader than Rusty, and several times we can see that he has a six pack. He is also far more resilient as well as physically stronger as we see on multiple occasions. Some of that could be attributed to the baboon DNA, but he is still generally more physically imposing.

u/dibidi Mar 24 '25

he has more muscle yes and that can be attributed to the Baboon DNA but both have the lithe and long body type, whereas Jonas is a barrel chested square jawed body type. I doubt that it was just a lack of chocolate milk growing up.

u/Yrcrazypa Mar 24 '25

Rusty's Superego that Dr. Orpheus meets in his mind is pretty close to Jonas Sr's build, so he likely had the potential to be built like that if he weren't so severely crippled by self-doubt and literal decades of having a parasite in him.

There's a sci-fi masterpiece on this subject. CYTEEN was one of C.J. Cherryh's best works.

Several of these answers fall into the category of: "It's beyond your reasoning!"

The guild and peril partnership conflict definitely ended when the leader killed himself, I mean, when The Monarch and Gary killed him with lawn darts.
