I got it, TakeWalker.
I may be reading too much into this, as I previously did with the "Who bailed out BB from MMFFCC?", but my theory is, which I think they have pretty firmly "confirmed":
A. BB helps Shrieker become MM. He "got what he wanted out of the agreement" in the love in the multiverse episode, which (to me) indicates hanky-panky, and what would BB want with just plain ol lovin' he could get from any of the many adoring Mordengradian ladies? He would want a powerful offsping.
B. BB later gets trapped in MMFFCC, presumably by one of the later, not-Shrieker MMs, but maybe it is Shrieker, the theory still works. "A mysterious figure" bargains for his release. Who better than his son/daughter, who has both a connection to BB AND MMFFCC?
Whoops, almost forgot this! *Puts on a tinfoil hat*

I actually think it really works. Haka is someone that we've established is both kindhearted and doesn't get really close to people, because he's lived so long and feels it. I think he is someone that would be totally into some no-strings-attached times with KNYFE, which will be awesome when it happens and not include any long-term commitments. In fact, I sort of think that explicitly no-strings-attached is how Haka would prefer his relationships these days; he doesn't want to get too attached, and he's much too kind to start a relationship with someone that they would expect to be long-lasting.
Good guy Adam :')
But it certainly would be long-lasting TO THEM, so Haka wouldnāt be sparing them something difficult out of kindness to them. Heād be doing it for himself. Iām not saying heās so selfless that he doesnāt think about his own well-being at all, just that I donāt see any reason why heād shy away from relationships. I donāt see him as a one-night stand kind of person.
By the way, I could see that story about Haka showing up at the death of his son reaching opening-sequence-of-Up levels of feels.
Maybe - and I think Iām probably reaching here, but it would be fun - Haka/KNYFE lasted a little while?
Or, because itās Christopher, Adam, and Haka, it was probably right at the end of the Multiverse and he gets sucked into the Miststorm universe and weāll never know.
The way I see it playing out:
*Knyfe and Haka know each other through superheroing. They flirt, but nothing serious.
*The Progeny event happens. Paige leaves Earth to hunt it down. (I think it's canon that she has some brief relationships with aliens in this time?)
*Cosmic Contest. Progeny gets ripped up real good. Paige returns to Earth.
*Pre-Oblivaeon stuff gets underway. They have a bit more time to flirt.
*Stuff starts to get Real.
*(They bang).
*There is at least one Serious Conversation about Feelings. Paige isn't totally sure where she stands, Aata respects that but thinks they have something that could last and wants to give it a proper, serious go. There's potential there. This could happen.
And then Oblivaeon happens and, iirc, our Haka ends up in the universe where our Knyfe is dead, and the shippers weep.

I can totally see Haka just enjoying a bit of sex here and there for what it is. Heās an immortal being that clearly has a huge enjoyment of life and accepts the transitory nature of his connections with others.
Iām not sure itās that unbelievable that Haka and KNYFE could have just had a bit of fun (it certainly seems to be her m.o.).
I can see him totally enjoying any experience with another and being fine with whatever length of time it is.
Iām not sure heād even see that much difference between āstringsā and āno stringsā they way we might, both are just temporary to him anyway.
I'll be honest, my favorite moment was Christoher and Adam's first response to "are Hammer & Anvil a thing?"
I could HEAR the horror on their faces.

My first reaction was, "Perhaps they doth protest too much."
That's becasue you left your Shipping Shades(tm)(patent pending)(patent pending) on.
I totally would have gotten the āmustache on or offā reference if I had seen the post before now.

After the follow-up, Iāve had to rethink how I approach the RPG character Iāve referenced a few times. I could completely see fans doing a ship of this character with Lillian.
Went back and listened to this episode again on my drive home from vacation. And I realized that the Majority of my questions that C&A have answered have wound up with a sad moment for Aata. I guess that's what happens when you live that long. Grandpa used to say Y"ou know your'e old when life starts taking your lifelong friends," andā¦ that never really ends for Hakaā¦
Havenāt listened to the episode yet, but I juuuuust HAD to read the thread, and now here we are.
Haka walks out of the room looking slightly embarrassed. Someone (Iāll say Unity maybe) turns to Knyfe. āWhy did you climb the mountain?ā āBecause it was there.ā
Please tell me it wasnāt Night-Mister.
Okay, now into the episode, and my thought on KNYFE: there has to have been at least one incident during her Filter days, even if she never had any control over which universe she went to, she had to have at least once seen some dude who was a famous sexy celebrity from her own universe, but in this reality he never had a career and isnāt all unattainable, so sheās just like āah heck, when am I gonna get another crack at Schnonny Schnepp slash Schanning Shnatum slash Schmillian Schmurphy slash whoever you likeā.
āHeās a Baron and he has a Countess.ā Well yeah, heās European nobility, obviously heās gonna try to marry up. āYou bring me the wealth and titles of the Country of Mittermania; I bring you a super-genius father for your potential children, and an eternally young super-human with a sweet goatee for your bedchamber.ā
There has to be at least one moment, during a battle with Ra and Fanatic, after they nearly die fighting a bunch of villains side to side, where they just suddenly, animalistically start pawing at each other for a minute or so, before finally Fanatic tears herself away and maybe curses at him for tempting her with his stupid sexy manflesh, and she flies away, and he grumbles about being left hanging and stalks off to find something he can set fire to.
We need the restless ghost of Vincent Hargraves as a new monster for Dark Watch featuring the Wraith. Because heās a wraith now, and his name is HarGRAVES. Badumtish.
