Rocket Racer Game

[Emerenciana Mcgreal]

RobertFarrell, born in Brooklyn, New York, was the eldest of seven children. He became responsible for his younger siblings when his mother Emma Johnson Farrell became ill. Robert was a scientific prodigy, and when he realized he could not earn enough to support his family, he turned to a life of crime as the Rocket Racer. He developed a super-powered skateboard,[8] which is propelled at great speed by small rockets and cybernetically controlled by a crude walkman-like device. He wore a weapon-equipped costume, including rocket-powered gloves which give him the ability to hit an opponent with a "rocket-powered-punch."

Rocket Racer hires the Tinkerer to redesign his skateboard after his first defeat by Spider-Man. At one point, he is hired by Jackson Weele to steal evidence that might be incriminating. Robert uses the evidence to blackmail Weele who wishes to commit suicide but Robert stops this. Even then, though, he mocks Weele as Big Weele. This is enough for Jackson to hire the Tinkerer to create a literal Big Wheel to chase Robert around town with. Spider-Man assists and Weele seemingly falls to death in the Hudson River.[10] Later, Rocket Racer was saved by Spider-Man from the Bounty Hunter.[11]

Repeated defeats at the hands of Spider-Man and several brushes with the law, including a short jail sentence, convince Robert to reform. He goes through a high school equivalency course and his extremely high marks gain him a scholarship to Empire State University.[12] This does not go well as his first few days are full with combating the efforts of a hate-group on campus. Though assisted by Spider-Man and sometimes, by other students who oppose the racism, Robert still struggles with his own rage during the entire ordeal.[13]

Later, Robert attempted to prove Spider-Man innocent of a crime; and first encountered Silver Sable and The Outlaws.[14] He joined forces with Spider-Man to stop the white supremacist, Skinhead. He was hired as a freelance operative for Silver Sable International to prevent two youths from stealing the victims' weapons at the Bar with No Name, the site of the Scourge massacre.[15] He was again hired by Sable to stop the Speed Demon.[16] He joined Spider-Man and the Outlaws against the Avengers and the Space Phantom.[17] He was again hired along with the Outlaws to retrieve a Symkarian nuclear device in England.[18] He was hired by Sable to stop a runaway subway maintenance robot.[19] Rocket Racer finally formally joined the Outlaws, to rescue the kidnapped daughter of a Canadian official.[20]

Robert is identified as one of the 142 registered superheroes who appear on the cover of Avengers: The Initiative #1.[22] As a registered hero, he reported to Camp Hammond for training.[23] Despite this, he needed money to support his comatose mother and prevent repossession of their house, so he was seen working for MODOK. He appeared to have been tempted back into crime, and reduced to a state of stuttering nervousness by the situation.[24] He turned out to have been working for S.H.I.E.L.D. all along, with a deal that they will give him the money he needs in return for the Hypernova,[25] yet he failed and it is unknown what happened to his mother.[26]

Rocket Racer is part of the new class of students when the Avengers Academy moves to the West Coast Avengers' former headquarters.[27] Rocket Racer later leaves the Avengers Academy alongside Machine Teen to join child genius Jeremy Briggs.[28]

Henry Sleeman was hired by an unnamed employer to befriend Robert Farrell and steal the Rocket Racer gear. He did so, taking the name "Troy" and posing as Farrell's friend for months. When Farrell finally showed him where the gear was kept, "Troy" tied Farrell up and stole it, pursuing Spider-Man with the intention of fighting, only to be defeated when restaurateur Harry Sloane opened a door at just the right time for 'Troy' to run into the door and knock himself unconscious.[30]

Robert Farrell does not possess superhuman powers but has a gifted intellect. He wears gauntlets furnished with explosive mini-rockets,[31] and utilizes a cybernetically-controlled, rocket-powered magnetic skateboard, which he designed and was later redesigned by Tinkerer.

An alternate version of Rocket Racer appears in Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane.[33] He is a socially withdrawn patsy of the supervillain called 'The Tinkerer', and his rocket gear is simply used to showcase the man's technological genius to potential clients.[34]

Robert Farrell, born in Brooklyn, New York, was the eldest of seven children. He became responsible for his younger siblings when his mother Emma Johnson Farrell died. Robert was a scientific prodigy, and when he realized he couldn't earn enough to support his family, he turned to a life of crime as the Rocket Racer.

As Rocket Racer he snatched a courier's bulging briefcase. Spider-Man couldn't stop him because he was moving too fast on his rocket powered skateboard. However, a car pulled out in front of him suddenly and Spider-Man was able to defeat him and leave him with the police.[4]

Farrell hired the Tinkerer to redesign his skateboard after his first defeat by Spider-Man. He hired Jackson Weele to steal evidence that might incriminate him. Farrell used the evidence to blackmail Weele. He attempted suicide but Farrell stopped him and mocked Weele calling him Big Weele.[5] Weele was annoyed by Farrell and hired the Tinkerer himself to construct the Big Wheel, to chase Robert around town with. Spider-Man assisted and Big Wheel seemingly fell to his death in the Hudson River.[6]

He became a member of the Outlaws.[8] Later Spider-Man gave him a break and he took a high school equivalence test which garnered him a perfect score. This test allowed him a special scholarship to Empire State University. At one point he fought another university student called Eddie the Cross who was a white supremacist. During a fight in the Science Laboratories, Rocket Racer fired a rocket at a jar he held above his head filled with Spider-Man's new web formula. Unfortunately this poured all over Eddie and he became the villain named Skinhead.[9]

He was hired by Silver Sable as a freelance operative for Silver Sable International to prevent two youths from stealing the victims' weapons at the Bar With No Name, the site of the Scourge massacre.[10]

He was again hired by Sable to stop the Speed Demon.[11] He joined Spider-Man and the Outlaws against the Avengers and the Space Phantom,[12][13] He was again hired along with the Outlaws to retrieve a Symkarian nuclear device in the United Kingdom.[14] He was hired by Sable to stop a runaway subway maintenance robot.[15] Farrell later joined the Outlaws to rescue the kidnapped daughter of a Canadian official.[16][13][17] Farrell became a regular visitor of the Bar With No Name.[18] He teamed up with Monica Rambeau to battle Skinhead.[19]

Seeing as he wasn't getting much work from Silver Sable, Farrell decided to get into the Great Game together with the Prowler. Rather than following the game's rules, Robert and Hobie staged a fight and intended to split the earnings. They were targeted by another participant named el Toro Negro, who blasted them with a bazooka. Prowler shielded Robert from the ensuing fall, resulting in Rocket Racer surviving with only a broken arm, whereas Hobie broke most of his bones and fell into a coma.[20]

Henry Sleeman was hired by an unnamed employer to befriend Farrell and steal his Rocket Racer tech. He did so, taking the name "Troy" and befriending him for months. When Farrell finally showed him the gear he knocked him out and stole it, pursuing Spider-Man with the intention of fighting him, only to be defeated when restaurateur Harry Sloane opened a door at just the right time for "Troy" to run into the door and knock himself unconscious.[21]

Despite his attempts to reform, Farrell needed money to support his comatose mother and stop the repossession of their home. He joined the M.O.D.O.K.'s 11, a group of villains formed by M.O.D.O.K. The team consisted of Armadillo, Chameleon, Living Laser, Mandarin, Mentallo, Nightshade (who he seemingly had a crush on), Puma, Monica Rappaccini, Spot, and the Ultra-Adaptoid. He was tempted back into crime, and reduced to a state of stuttering nervousness by the situation.[25] However, he turned out to have been working for S.H.I.E.L.D., by way of Derek Khanata all along, with a deal that they would give him the money he needed in return for the Hypernova,[2] but he failed in this and it is unknown yet what happened with his mother.[26]

Jet-Powered Skateboard: Rocket Racer uses a jet-powered skateboard with gyroscopic stabilizers, and magnetic boots that keep him attached to the board. The skateboard also adheres to vertical and inverted surfaces. The board is cybernetically controlled via the Rocket Racer's head-set.[31]

Spider-Man pulls away from Felicia Hardy as she kisses him. Spider-Man tells Felicia that he can't have a girlfriend because it would put her in danger. At that moment a criminal called Big Wheel uses a giant mechanical wheel, also called the Big Wheel, to break into a nearby bank. Big Wheel's henchmen then use jatpacks to fly into the bank and steal bags of money. As they got the money the Big Wheel began to roll down the street and into another bank. Felicia Hardy's apartment was nearby and Spider-Man heard the explosion and he web swung to the scene of the crime. As Spider-Man arrived he began to fight the jetpack henchmen on top of a roof. However, the Big Wheel was able to drive up the side of the building and tried to crush Spider-Man. However, Spider-Man was able to get away.
