... Well, I’ll be damned... It really is ‘Professor’. Sincere thanks to @fucksplosion for doing some serious digging to find this gem cuz I found zero mention of it in researching Professor Membrane (those who know me know I’m a stickler for canon with my writings and character creation). The trading game itself must be so obscure now, there’s no mention of it, though I did find some ‘cards’ from an MLB/Nicktoon Mashup that apparently was a thing. It just means more images for the folder for Membrane that may or may not exist >w> <w<. (Look, I’ve been severely depressed lately and grieving Dad sucks ass, I need this distraction)
I know Nick advertised some weird things in between cartoons but a lot of it was online and I didn’t exactly have access to a computer then, not without walking to the library to use theirs (but then it was exclusively to play Runescape XD). I was mostly working with basic cable and various secondhand gaming consoles to pass the time.
Welp, it’s not like I was going to use ‘Cornelius’ religiously, anyway. It was only going to be a name that someone close to him was going to use if it wasn’t just ‘Membrane’. The name might pop up once in a while, maybe as a middle name so I can use it for a unique tag. Maybe he’d flinch if someone used “Professor Cornelius Membrane” as if he’s about to be in a world of trouble.
His parents must’ve had HIGH ASS HOPES for him when they named him. Though, it’s a good thing I grew up with the Powerpuff Girls. They never really called Professor Utonium ‘Dad’.
ALSO, LOOK WHAT I FOUND WHILE LOOKING UP THE CARD GAME! Considering how fast people jumped on the Wooloo train, I thought it would be the same for Membrane but not much else has shown up. I’ll probably end up making my own stuff to commemorate the return of an old obsession. I don’t even care that the pin has his new legs but not his arms. It’s ‘pre-shark’ Membrane to me.
