This will probably be long so brace yourself
I’m finding myself wondering more and more about what Huggy’s life was before Earth. I have tried to analyze other things we know about him in hopes of piecing together some new information, but I haven’t had much luck. There’s part of me that thinks we don’t know much about his old life because Becky doesn’t know much about it. Bob has probably told her some things, but I’d imagine that he doesn’t tell her much because she’s the reason he doesn’t have that old life anymore. Maybe he’s afraid if he tells her about the good parts of his life on Lexicon, she’ll feel guilty for inadvertently taking him away from all that.

In regards to whether or not he knew Becky and her biological family before the crash, when I write I always assume she was just some random kid who snuck onboard, but as far as theories go, I believe he actually did know her and her family, or at least knew of them. My reasoning comes from part four of The Rise of Miss Power. There’s a statue in the ship that honestly just looks like an adult version of Becky. And we know she is significant in some way to Becky because of the amount of emphasis that was put on this statue. Combine this with the fact that Wordgirl’s major motivation in this scene was to get her mom out of jail (so the audience has mothers on the brain), from a writing perspective, I think they were really trying to let us know that this woman was Becky’s mom. How does this relate to Bob knowing her? Well, why would there be a statue of her if she wasn’t important? Not to mention a picture of this woman can be seen in the book Wordgirl reads in the same scene. Depending on why she was important, Huggy could have met her, and maybe her daughter prior to crashing into Earth, even if he didn’t necessarily know them very well. If nothing else, he probably knew who they were. He maybe didn’t even recognize Becky (depending on how much her mother allowed her to be in the spotlight with her) and potentially doesn’t know who her mother was, even if he actually knows her mother if that makes sense.

As far as Becky remembering her origin story, I firmly believe that Huggy told her and that she doesn’t remember a thing. She was very little, she clearly couldn’t even walk yet, so I doubt she could remember the details of this event. That and there were some things she said that, to me, sound like things Huggy would have told her as opposed to her remembering. Like when she said she “startled” him. That implies his reaction was somewhat mild, maybe a little jump, but he clearly freaked out and leaped out of his chair. This sounds more like something he said to her to sound a little braver. Also when she calls him the greatest pilot, that’s either something he said to her, bragging about his abilities, or it’s her bragging about him, like how children will go “My daddy’s a singer, he’s the best singer in the whole world!!” That being said, even if she doesn’t remember details, I’d be shocked if she didn’t have some vague subconscious memories of the ship crashing. I mean that’s gotta be pretty traumatic, especially for a young child.
While on this topic, I would also like to suggest the idea that if Huggy told her this origin story, we technically don’t know how much of it is real. I had a friend who doesn’t watch this show, but knows I love it, ask me “Why was she sent to Earth?” and that got me thinking, what if she was sent to Earth? For all we know she was sent to Earth intentionally and the story Huggy told her is complete crap, just a story he made up so she wouldn’t ask questions. Probably not, but it’s kinda fun to think about.

It would be very interesting to know how much different lexiconians are to humans. There may be some things we can guess on, using Becky as a reference. She has been in space various times without an oxygen helmet, so I have a headcanon that lexiconians’ lungs are significantly larger than humans’ so that they can keep in air longer. Becky being able to be in space without an oxygen mask also implies that Lexicon has less air to breathe on it than Earth, otherwise, there’s no way Lexiconians would have evolved in a way that would allow them to be in space. I think anyway. This is far from my area of expertise, so if anyone else has any thought on this or can correct mine, please do. 🙂
