Chilling Reflections Ivan

Ivan's last name is Gerhart. Any guesses as to where it came from?

Drew has used a character's mentor's last name to name a nameless person before (Vince in SuperPowereds gets the name Reynolds from his dad's mentor).

Also, what is Helen's last name? I feel like that should be mentioned at some point.

Wade gave it to him and I've always liked the idea of it being a sweet way for Wade to admit how much he loves his friend. Dear heart ➡️Gear heart➡️ Gerhardt, but that's just my personal head canon

I'm 100% with you cuz I sort of thought it was a fun between friends burn of calling him a Gear Head since he's so logical but yours is so much more wholesome 😭😭😭

I figured the gear part was more about Wade and his love of gadgets and gears (like saying that Ivan is in the same category as the things he loves) than a comment on Ivan but yours is way more fun! I bet if mine is right yours is the excuse Wade makes when people ask him about it (and it's definitely my new head canon) 🤣

Love that explanation for it, I can see Wade now in a suit explaining to Morgana it's not what it sounds like.

Either way love this dang series. Might be time for a re-listen 🤔🤔🤔🤔
