Changes: Simon Lee

Revision as of 06:16, 28 July 2010

Simon Lee was Kim Pine's boyfriend early in high school. He went to Benvie Tech High School in Northern Ontario and was leader of the "Benvie Boys". Kim says that "in retrospect, he was kind of a dick." His relationship with Kim "was kind of fizzling" when Scott Pilgrim moved to Kim's school, and she soon broke up with Simon (as recalled by Kim in Book 3 chapter 16).

In Scott's memory

Book 2 opens with a memory of Scott's. Simon kidnaps Kim and imprisons her at Benvie Tech, forcing Scott to come rescue her and battle Simon. When Scott wins, Simon pleads for mercy, but Scott instead kicks him.

In Scott's brief retelling of the story to Ramona in Book 3 chapter 15, he describes Simon as "a crazy seven-foot-tall purple-suited dude" who was "flying and shooting lightning bolts from his eyes" and possessed mind-control powers, and Scott kicked him "so far he saw the curvature of the earth!!"

In Volume 6

In Book 6, Kim encourages Scott to remember that Simon was a meek Chinese-Canadian kid that Kim briefly dated in high school. Scott assaulted him after seeing him simply hug Kim. The memory Scott has of heroically battling Simon and rescuing Kim was actually a fake memory, implanted by Gideon while hiding inside Scott's mind. Kim tells Scott that "you screwed over poor Simon Lee... well, we both did."

-In response, Simon kidnaps Kim, forcing Scott to come rescue her and battle Simon which maybe a figment of Scott's imagination as Kim reveals that in fact Simon was a small Chinese boy that she dated and Scott may have just beat him up. When Scott wins, Simon pleads for mercy, but Scott instead kicks him (as seen in a possibly altered memory at the beginning of [[Book 2]]). This is later confirmed in Vol 6 in that Simon was a kid Kim was dating at the time. Scott assaulted him after seeing him simply hug Kim. The memory Scott has of him rescuing Kim from Simon and kicking his ass because he was a villian was a fake one, implanted and tainted by [[Gideon]]
