Matthew Patel (Video Game)

## Background

**Matthew Patel** is Ramona Flower's first evil ex-boyfriend. Matthew Patel's battle takes place at the end of World 1 in Club Rockit. In the game, Matthew wears a black jacket instead of his usual tan one and has a total of about 180 HP. A lot of his attacks are usually weak melee or fireballs. Since he's an early level boss, it's not necessary to be at any high level to face him (in fact, higher leveled characters can deal with him in no time at all). His boss battle goes in three patterns, he starts off with simple melee attacks. After he takes enough damage, he summons an energy pillar around him and his demon hipster chicks will fly around it. Scott and co must defeat all four of the demon hipster chicks before the fight may progress. After the player beats them, the fight continues as normal, though near the end, he'll summon two of them again, where they will pop in and out firing magic blasts on the players as they try to fight Matthew. The team can either take them out before finishing the battle or just focus on Matthew where his defeat will cause them to disappear. By this point in the battle, Matthew becomes more aggressive, but is otherwise still manageable. Once beaten, Matthew will explode in a burst of light. Like in the book, the player gets $2.10 in coins once he is defeated.

### Powers and Abilities

* Innate Abilities
* Within Subspace

**Superhuman Physical Characteristics**, **Martial Arts**, **Acrobatics**, **Fire Manipulation** (He can shoot massive fireballs from his fists), **Summoning** (Can summon his Demon Hipster Chicks), **Energy Manipulation** & **Invulnerability** (Can create a beam of energy making him temporarily invulnerable to all damage), **Sheer Will** (Those who can access the powers of Subspace in the real world naturally require a strong will and determination to control them), **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), **Dimensional Travel** and **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)

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), **Abstract Existence** (Type 1; The subspace avatar is a being of pure cognition, existing as a mere thought in the realm of subspace, with the effects done to their body being useless as it will always regenerate back or be unaffected by acts such as cutting it in half, even if the true user dies the subspace avatar will still exist), **Acausality** (Irregular Causality; 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)

### Other
