Wallace Wells – Character Profile Full Name: Wallace Wells

Series: Scott Pilgrim (Comic Series by Bryan Lee O'Malley / Movie: Scott Pilgrim vs. The World / Animated Series: Scott Pilgrim Takes Off)

History: Wallace Wells is Scott Pilgrim’s gay roommate and longtime friend. Originally from a small town (similar to Scott), he moved to Toronto and shares an apartment—actually, a single room—with Scott, although Wallace owns most of the furniture and pays for most of the expenses. While his own backstory isn’t heavily explored, Wallace serves as a grounding presence in Scott's chaotic life, offering both harsh truths and sly advice. In most iterations, Wallace is portrayed as the one who helped Scott get his act together enough to function in the city, though Scott remains dependent on him for basic adult tasks like rent and bills.

In the Scott Pilgrim Takes Off animated series, Wallace gets more screen time, revealing how much of a behind-the-scenes influencer he truly is—often pulling strings or manipulating events for everyone's benefit, or sometimes just for his amusement.

Appearance: Wallace Wells is depicted as a stylish and confident individual, often described as Scott Pilgrim's "cool gay roommate." He has short, messy black hair and a fair skin tone. Wallace is known for his sharp fashion sense, typically wearing well-fitted clothing that reflects his self-assured personality. This is stuff like comfortable button up shirts with a vest over, comfortable jeans that show his ass curves, and slip on. Think business casual.

Personality: Wallace Wells is witty, dry, and unapologetically blunt. He’s a master of sarcasm and has a no-nonsense attitude when dealing with Scott’s immaturity. Though his commentary is often cutting, it usually hides a layer of care—he wants what’s best for his friends, even if he has to drag them toward it kicking and screaming.

Despite being sardonic, Wallace is also deeply confident in his identity. As an openly gay man, he flirts, drinks, and lives life on his terms without ever apologizing. He also has a penchant for minor manipulation and drama—he likes stirring the pot, often to comedic effect. He's also good at deduction as he's stolen multiple boyfriends from Scott's sister, Stacey.

He’s street-smart, composed, and usually the most emotionally mature person in any given scene, which gives him a natural authority over Scott and others. While he seems disinterested or aloof, Wallace is often quietly orchestrating outcomes behind the scenes—he sees everything and rarely misses a detail.

Key Connections: Scott Pilgrim – Wallace's roommate and close friend. Their relationship borders on co-dependency, with Wallace often acting like a sarcastic older brother or disapproving parent. Despite his teasing, he’s one of Scott’s most loyal supporters.

Ramona Flowers – Wallace approves of Ramona and encourages Scott’s pursuit of her, but also pushes Scott to actually grow up and be worthy of her. He's skeptical when Scott backslides or lies.

Other Roommates / Casual Flings – Wallace has a long list of one-night stands and casual partners, mostly male, but rarely gets emotionally entangled. These flings often overlap with Scott’s life in inconvenient or humorous ways.

Envy Adams & Julie Powers – Wallace has varying degrees of disdain or passive-aggressive tolerance for Scott’s exes and toxic social connections. He rarely hides his opinions.

Stacey Pilgrim – Scott’s younger sister. Wallace and Stacey get along well and often talk behind Scott’s back. They both act as voices of reason—though in different tones.

This world is technically an alternative timeline, though the inhabitants aren't aware of it. You see, Scott Pilgrim was always fated to meet Ramona Flowers. The events in the two universes are different. In this one, instead of Scott fighting and defeated all 7 of Ramona's exes, an event later to be discovered to be himself from the other timeline, caused Scott to mysteriously vanish. Ramona, determined to hang onto something important to her, confronted her own Exes, and ended up making peace with them, leading to a few key differences.

-Gideon Graves, who was originally defeated by Scott in the other timeline, lost his wealth, and ended up dating Julie Powers. He later regained his health as Matthew Patel returned his company to him.

-Lucas Lee ended up befriending Gideon Graves, and is no longer an action star. He's still a bit buff skater, but makes a living at the Second Cup, coffee shop, working along side Julie Powers and Stacey Pilgrim.

-Roanne Richter, aka Roxy had a heart to heart with Ramona, and seems to have let go of her grudge, and seems to be living in Toronto, flirting with all the pretty girls she finds.

-Knives Chau got proper closer with Scott, and never held a grudge against Ramona. Moreover, she ended up joining Sex Bomb-omb as their keyboard player.

-Sex Bomb-omb never dissolved as Scott and Ramona didn't vanish together like in the prime timeline.

-Todd Ingram became an actor and friend to Roxy.

-The Katayanagi Twins dropped their evil ways after their favorite robot informed them that they and Scott became friends in the future.

-Matthew Patel, thinking he originally defeated Scott, got a major boost in confidence, took over Gideon's company for a short time, then gave it back when he found his true calling as a Broadway star.
