The only thing keeping me and her apart is the two minutes it's gonna take to kick your ass.
~ Lucas's most famous quote.
Sup, how's life? He seems nice.
~ Lucas to Ramona after beating up Scott.

Lucas Lee is a major antagonist in the graphic novel Scott Pilgrim and its 2010 film adaptation/video game Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, as well as a major character in its anime adaption Scott Pilgrim Takes Off. He is a member of the League of Evil Exes and Ramona's second ex-boyfriend.

In the 2010 film adaptation, he was portrayed by Chris Evans, who also played Bryce Langley in Fierce People, Robert Pronge in The Iceman, Ransom Drysdale in Knives Out, and Lloyd Hansen in The Gray Man.

History[]

Comics[]

Lucas was the second ex-boyfriend of Ramona. According to her, during her school time, he was only a geeky kid who always followed her during drama class (or math, she only remembers it had too much drama). Sometime after school, he learned how to skate and became cool, causing Ramona to date him for a short while until another boy came around (her third ex, Todd Ingram). He was later contacted in the internet by Gideon Gordon Graves, calling him to be a member of the League of Evil Exes. Lucas fought the titular character, Scott Pilgrim, during one of his rehearsals. He attacked him using his skating and other tactics, but was defeated when Scott challenged him into doing a grind on a very dangerous rail, resulting in his defeat when he reached the bottom at full speed and crashed. He left behind some coins and a mithril skateboard, which Scott couldn't use due to lacking "Skateboard Proficiency."

Movie[]

In the film, Lucas is an A-list movie star and more arrogant and cruel. Many of his movie posters can be seen throughout the movie itself, right before he appears in the flesh (to the tune of the Universal Studios theme). Unlike the books, he has a whole group of stunt doubles to fight for him, all wearing similar coats and jeans, carrying the same skateboard models as Lucas himself. Scott defeats them all, however, and follows the book's plot by challenging Lucas into doing a grind on a dangerous rail. He dies when he reaches a total speed of 309kph (192 mph) on the rails and crashes at the bottom, leaving behind 2000 points and some coins. Scott is not happy, though, as he failed to get Lucas' autograph.

Video game[]

Lucas appears as the boss of World 2. He attacks using his skateboard and other ones that are spread throughout the arena if the stunt doubles he sends are defeated. But again, Scott defeats him and he tries to run away by griding on a rail, only to fall at the bottom with full force, disintegrating into coins and a skateboard. But again, Scott can't collect the item, as it will dissapear seconds later.

Anime[]

This version takes place in an alternate timeline created by an Older Scott Pilgrim who attempted to prevent his past self from meeting Ramona in the first place. In this version, Lucas is shown to have a rivalry with Todd. He first appears alongside the rest of the League in Episode 2, when Matthew Patel, after "killing" Scott, attempts to take control of the League. Lucas ultimately sides with Matthew after he bests Graves in a fight, taking control of Graves's company and the League by comparison.

Eventually, Lucas's reckless skateboarding and a string of box office flops lead him to appear in a Canadian picture called Scott's Precious Little Life, a film set in an alternate reality where Scott defeated not only Patel, but the entire League as well. Lucas is also cast as the titular character, and forms a relationship with the actress playing Knives. During this, he is confronted by Ramona, who has discovered Scott is alive, and believes Lucas to be a possible culprit. However, when it's revealed that he is in a relationship with the actress playing Knives (who despite being in her 30's is playing a teenager), Paparazzi ninjas start chasing after him. Although Lucas defeats most of them, he is worn down and flung through a building. He then reunites with Ramona, who points out how she always helped him during their relationship. Lucas also reveals that the reason he became a successful actor was out of jealousy and spite towards her leaving him for Todd, and that he keeps the skateboard he broke out of anger in his room. The two make up, and Ramona sneaks Lucas out of the theater.

Later, after Lucas's career tanks, he calls Graves, now going by his birth name of Gordon Goose and living at Julie's, to apologize. The two then become friends, playing paintball, watching anime, baking cakes, and building a skate ramp, all to the frustration of Julie. Lucas later appears at Patel's show, which is also based off of the script for Scott's Precious Little Life, where he congratulates Scott for ending up with Ramona. He, alongside other individuals, are teleported to subspace to fight the Older Scott Pilgrim. Lucas gains a skateboard from Ramona's bag, and helps to fight Older Scott, but ultimately is sent back to the play. He later takes up a job as a barista alongside Scott's sister Stacey.

Personality[]

Lucas is arrogant and tries everything to look tough. His acting skills make him incredibly convincing, and it also led to a lot of success, increasing his arrogance even more. In spite of this however he is arguably the most moral out of the evil exes, genuinely not going after Ramona and Scott out of malice and merely out of duty even if he did enjoy hurting him, this is especially noteworthy in the graphic novel although still present in the film such as when he casually asks Ramona how she's been while complimenting her on Scott (albeit after punching him)

Abilities and Powers[]

Unlike the other members, Lucas doesn't have a big variety of powers aside from brute strength and fighting skill, which he uses in the movie to toss Scott at a tower with full force and kick him out of the air and through a banner moments later.

Trivia[]

  • He was named and inspired after the pro skateboarder-turned-actor Jason Lee.
  • The character has numerous references to the number 2, for example:
    • He has the number 2 tattooed on his neck.
    • His name contains two L's.
    • Lucas cracks his neck twice during the Universal theme.
    • As stated in the quote above, he sums up only about two minutes to defeat Scott.
    • During the fight with Scott in the movie, a car with the number two on the front door can be seen in the background.
    • His prize is 2000 points.
    • A lot of movie posters featuring him as the lead actor are for sequels that have the number 2 in their title.
  • The fact that he uses stunt doubles to fight for him in the movie might be a reference to how some video game enemies are weaker versions of a boss, and how similar they are to the boss itself.
  • Both him and Matthew Patel only have one scene in the comics, and it's the scene where they fight Scott and get defeated.
  • The screening used when Scott charges at Lucas is a reference to the intro of Ninja Gaiden.
  • Before facing Scott, a trailer of Lucas' movie is shown in Wallace Wells's television, showing him threatening a person through the phone by saying that the "first click is me hanging up, and the next one's me pulling the trigger".
