– Carl, FusionFall Retro
Carl is a NPC in FusionFall Retro and its fan revivals. He is a human and a supposedly a very good friend of Johnny Bravo.[1]
History
FusionFall Retro
Fusion Invasion
The Past
In the Past, Carl has a single mission, "The Mark of a True Nerd", where he thinks he hears a famous actor from "Space Wars". It turns out to either be Stickybeard or Larry 3000.
Personality
Carl does not realize that Earth is being invaded by the Fusions, even though he said Pops told him about it, and the comic shop he's at is surrounded by Fusion Monsters.
Nearly every time Carl talks to the player via the mission journal, he starts an extended discussion about the intricate details of the "Justice Friends vs Powerpuff Girls" comic book series (as he is waiting for Lenny Baxter to open his comic shop in order to purchase its latest issue, "Return of the Glorft"), his less than favorable friendship with Johnny Bravo, his opinion about the new "Space Wars" movie, random facts about moss and nuclear power, and many more topics, before getting back to what he was originally going to say.

Patch Notes
The following list contains the Patch Notes pertaining to Carl in FusionFall Retro:
- 11.22.2019 (Retro Beta v3.0 patch):[2] Carl was added to the game. He could be found at the comic book store in Pokey Oaks South where he hands out the mission "The Mark of a True Nerd".
Origin
Carl Chryniszzswics, from Johnny Bravo.
Carl Chryniszzswics originates from the 1997 American animated comedy television Johnny Bravo. In that media, he is one of the main characters for the majority of the series. A young adult from Aron City, he is an intelligent, self-proclaimed scientist, but also a certifiable geek, and the self-made best friend of his neighbor Johnny Bravo despite the latter's insistence on the contrary. Regardless, he is a friendly, if not overexcitable, guy who is both inventive and has a variety of intelligent, if not nerdy, interests.
An associate of Johnny for at least two decades, Carl was born in a log cabin and has known Johnny for as far back as elementary school. Though he would bully Johnny in school because he was bigger and older by him by three weeks, the tables eventually turned on both of them. As a young adult, Carl would often get involved in Johnny's misadventures, either by trying to accompany him or by getting Johnny to join him on his own small trips and/or endeavors (usually due to Johnny misunderstanding what Carl's intentions would entail). Also, despite his belief in the relationship he shares with Johnny, Johnny usually cannot stand Carl.
Trivia
- Carl uses his character model from FusionFall Legacy.
- According to FusionFall Retro developer Devan Baker, Carl ended up in the Beta v3.0 update as a last-minute joke. The addition of Larry 3000 meant Mark Hamill had a second voice acting role in the game (the first being Stickybeard). Developers Devan, Virt, and Dogon wanted a fourth wall breaking moment where a character in-game recognized this fact, and considering there was nobody sufficiently nerdy enough for that role yet, they secretly added Carl and his mission with no mention in the patch notes and without the knowledge of the other developers.[citation needed]
