The Rocket Boy	comment	The Rocket Boy is a sci-fi comedy broadcast on TV in 1989. It is a parody of other superhero films, with a semi-competent superhero trying to defeat the villain, Hawkhead.Hawkhead is trying to hatch eggs. To keep them warm, he harvests human hair from Earth by bringing the hair off random people. After a few minutes of figuring out what is going wrong and trying to keep his secret identity stable, the Rocket Boy finally manages to go after Hawkhead by following the trail of hair.

The Rocket Boy / int_649b0880	comment	Background Magic Field: Palimon tells the Rocket Boy to use "The Power" on Hawkhead. Not that the Rocket Boy knows what it is, and Mr. Pim biting Hawkhead when told to use the power didn't help teach it either. It ends up as an 11th-Hour Superpower after being told to just believe in it.

The Rocket Boy / int_7eb73553	comment	Bullying a Dragon: Three instances. The first case was Robert Boyd taunting Hawkhead about his clumsy wings before being abducted. At the video store, one hostage called Hawkhead "butterfingers" after he dropped a glass, causing Hawkhead to demonstrate that he can lift hair off his head. The ventriloquism dummy later said that he hopes that Hawkhead doesn't drop him.
