Must not forget about the Illudium Phosdex (shaving cream molecule) that is needed to prepare for the sonic screwdriver neutralization phase process. (Don’t ask. It’s complicated.)
Yeah such things and similar seem to happen a lot. The other day I wanted to get my Westinghouse M-27 Phased Plasma Pulse Rifle fixed and told him it’s in the 40 watt range, but he confused the packages for the plasma canisters and accidentially put in one in the 400 (!) watt range. Needless to say I now have to buy a new one because the whole repair section of the shop evaporated.
I figured he was a gadgeteer-type super-dude that didn’t want to wear spandex and beat people up. instead, he uses his talent for dealing with the doomday machines and malfunctioning robots instead of building them himself.
Really it’s perfect. He gets to tinker with super-gadgets, gets paid for it, and doesn’t have to get punched in the face every week!
It really is XD
Excuse, me where did you want me to put this order of lampshades?
Seriously, I love this comic.
I suppose one of the core talents of a handyman in this universe is being able to identify and deactivate strange stuff.
Oh yeah, all you need is Iridium to stabilize the tunneling quantum effect since you already have a high energy matrix.

This is a job for: DUCK DODGERS!
No, no, no. This is a class *5* blue sky-beam. For these you just cross the proton streams and hope to avoid a total photonic reversal.

It’s so common that the guys at Hollywood call it a cliche.
Shitropolis is damn lucky in this respect, too.
Over here, it takes years, if not decades, until a malfunctioning weather machine gets fixed.

The wierd stuff one learns to deal with in the wild, am I right?
The “Bicycle Repair Man” of Shitropolis.
I’m guessing “The Handyman” is a superhero in his own right? He certainly fills all the boxes.

I think that the Marvel version is called “The Tinkerer”

Alsi I think getting beat *may* be part of the job.
This could be a heroic version of “cut Lex Luthor a check.”
House 2 did this back in 1987, with John Ratzenberger as “Bill Towner – electrician and adventurer”.

Crystal Skulls were a less pretentious plot device in those days. Bill Mahar’s first movie gig was as a 30 second bit friend at some point.
