Ratchet & Clank Lore - Captain Copernicus Leslie Qwark 

Qwark is one of my favorite characters, I know tons of people hate him but personally I find him to be hilarious and ridiculous. He is like the perfect parody of a superhero.

Quark can take over a company who basically commands a entire galaxy, survived in deep space for 6 days, flushed himself out of the prison. He can be a faliure as a hero but he could be a super villain

In the first game when Qwark worked for Drek, he did that to get fame and money, but what if he planned to backstab Drek and take the credit for stopping him. It sounds like something he would do.

If there's anything I really like about quark, is that he's so stupid and annoying, yet he's a weirdly deep and multi-layered character. I can't really think of another case where a character is both!!!

I used to think Qwark was human back in the day, until i realized he had 3 fingers

I had no idea Qwark was establised as a cowardly hero since I never played the first 2 games. I found him cool during Ratchet and Clank 3.

My second Favourite caracter in The series, only Dr Nefarious being number 1

About half way listening to the video I was half expecting Qwark to actually show up, knock you out and then tell the "real" lore and story with crayon drawn pictures of his so called heroic deeds.

despite his cowardiness Qwark is actually pretty strong. I have a feeling its probably due to the fact he must have been born strong. This made him naturally overconfident. However, when he experianced danger for the first time this must have turned him into extreme coward. He still hid under persona of confidence....

0:29 - It's pretty clear at this point that you can't have a Ratchet & Clank game without Qwark. 1:13 - "Behind The Hero" 1:25 - Uh I see subtitles down there, is this just a cropped image? 1:57 - From the sound of his voice he probably didn't have much to do with Dreks plan back then but was most likely hoping that Ratchet dies. 2:38 - The one that's actually good. 3:14 - I'm pretty sure no one would be able to predict what Nefarious would do. :P 3:56 - So it's a "HAIGN"? 4:36 - I don't recall that whatsoever, was that in an optional conversation with him? :/ 5:23 - They even kept that in the reboot, in the reboot they were made by the Blarg but I personally think it was Nefarious working for them at the time. 6:20 - I thought that was Nefarious's hated show. :/ 7:18 - It's called the Thran Asteroid Belt. 8:00 - I'd say before. 10:32 - Maybe Qwark had missed a few of them along the way and they multiplied? 12:02 - He would. XD 12:54 - And Clank. 14:14 - So it's not on that list you made a while ago? 15:02 - You skipped the part about how Ratchet, Clank and Skrunch found out that he was actually alive. 15:17 - In terms of story but in Gameplay ... :P 15:20 - Who is that over there? Above Helga and below a random female robot and next to the president? 16:09 - Was Clank reading something there at that time? I don't know how he would figure that. :/ 16:34 - He doesn't even know Luna so it makes sense to me. 17:14 - Oh so that's what it meant! I thought they were referring to foe. :D 17:31 - I thought they were old documents. 18:17 - The second theory doesn't make sense at all so let's just go with the first theory. 19:01 - You mean it wouldn't make him look scared. 21:29 - Yeah but it was all because the Fongoids wanted to get rid of him, either that or they just gave Qwark info and without listening to any warnings he just goes off to interrogate them. 22:16 - Why are there no lines on those speech bubbles? 25:41 - I honestly have no idea why they even went with this guy considering that he's just an optional NPC who you don't need to meet with whatsoever meaning not plenty of fans out there will recognize him in this game! 26:45 - Likewise. :) 27:27 - Always happy to watch. :)

I'd say this is pretty accurate . . . Besides calling me stupid I'm NOT stupid also Im still the greatest superhero ever. Oh yeah don't show ratchet or clank ok? I think im getting on their good side now

Going Commandos end goal is very similar to Syndromes from The Incredibles.

He’s basically the great pretender character that takes advantage of comedic serendipity. Akin to a certain character by the name of Hercule/mr. Satan from DB with his own brand of karmic justice imposed on him for his lying mouth.

Quark may not be smart but he is pretty good at coming up with plans. Like every plan he comes up with works almost flawlessly apart from the poibts where clank is needed they work and he picked a lock from neferious with his anttena how do you even.

One thing i forgot to mention about Nefarious in your Nefarious video because of his orgin of being bullied by Qwark and getting turned into robot. Words of The Joker "all it takes is one bad day"

I think if the Amoeboid attack in Ratchet and Clank 1 was Nefarious doing, it would be known since everyone knew Nefarious invaded other planets at the start at the 3rd game

in a crank in time qwark was fighting against nefarious enforcers while ratchet fought the doctor. he was fighting them while you float past him towards the boss fight on the platform

I just think of the 2016 Remake/Movie of Ratchet and Clank as the Story as told by Captain Qwark

He appeared in all the games. In quest for booty was a statue of him at the bottom of the lake were you can swim on hoolafar island. It is a nice reminder of Qwark. It is the same statue as the statue in metropolis Kerwan in Tools of destruction (best game of all ;)

God, the more I realize how amazing the entire storyline is for the Ratchet & Clank series, the more disappointed I become in the reboot. I seriously hope that the reboot is NOT canon and the story will continue on after Into The Nexus.

Quark is pretty villainous in my opinion... He’s willing to let innocent people die for fame, fortune, and respect... Heroes are selfless not self centered.

Amazing video VTNVIVI

i still cannot identify what's behind that mask on captain quark... is he a human or nope?

A month ago I replayed RC UYA on PS2, when you go to control room in Starship Phoenix and listen to all NPC interaction at certain point you will hear Qwark saying that his mother will be proud of him for doing something, I can't remember exactly about what. It seems contrary to lore in Size Matters where Qwark is orphan. Maybe Im just missing some part of lore.

I always thought the real fizzwidget gave them the commando training...

When you think about it, Qwark took less than a year to lose his memory between the events of R&C2 and R&C3. Boy, he is really stupid haha.

I feel like since Qwark stole the glory kinda saved Ratchet from becoming food for the War-Grok

Oh my gosh, Qwark's middle name is Leslie!?! That is so hilarious and rediculous at the same time. Also, will you be doing any lore videos on Ratchet and Clank as characters and how they evolved in th series (ex. Ratchet become more mature by Deadlock and the Future trilogy)?

Cool video vivi love your content, I'm a huge ratchet and clank fan

Qwark: *to Skrunch the monkey* It was mating season, how could I have known it was your sister? Me: FBI Open up!!! Woodchipper: *go brrrrrrrrrrrrr* Did somebody say Woodchipper? Happy Woodchipping noises.

I guess Captain Qwark was just Zapp Brannigan in super hero clothing

I never truly liked Qwark but over time I've had moments where I have enjoyed him. Tho Nepharious is still bae

Quark is one of my top 3 favorites of RaC. along with Big Al and The Plumber

I like how Qwark still has a good heart despite his ego.

I always thought Qwark was a substitute teacher in R&C3, shows I need to play it again. Got to say this video was good, reminded more of his character since I jump from game to game in odd orders now. And to not get annoyed by his character sometimes, laugh at jokes on other occasions.

Captain quark : aka Zapp brannigan.

Quark original plan was to really defeat drek but he was defeated and had his mind played by drek

Good job Pal

I hope one day nefarious becomes friends with ratchet clank and quark. Just to see the evil guy become sort of charming. Not saying fully the good guy but enjoying seeing them.

Rip sly cooper

R&C R&C2 R&C3 R&CSM SecretAC R&Cftod R&Cfacit R&Ca4o R&Cffa R&Citn R&Creagining That's all the ratchet and clank game Qwark is in, that is NOT 9!

You know who, just ask Billy XD and don’t forget the hydropack girl, I had a crush on her as a kid, I’d always wear the hydropack instead of the heli or thruster

Hi, this is Copernicus Leslie Qwark from the kid-friendly seires "Ratchet & Clank" AND I HAVE A F****ING VIBRATOR.

We seriously have to do a R&C co-lab sometime soon.

This Kosmitharn loves this video! :D I kinda liked Qwark in "Up Your Arsenal". He's a funny guy sort of...

You know VTNVIVI, something tells me that Captain Qwark is the main antagonist of Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando

I like how the reimagined Ratchet and Clank game has been silently dismissed as non-canon immediately with Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart on PS5. That game more or less acts like the PS4 game never happened, which is fine by me. In the parade at the beginning of the PS5 game, Quark makes a statement about Ratchet's beginning before meeting Clank that makes more sense if the the original PS2 game is canon, but little sense if the PS4 "Reboot" (which was a failed movie-tie-in game, which was not meant as a reboot, even though they kept a line in from the Plumber that contradicts this by saying "See you in the next reboot") is canon.

What I still don't get is... how did Qwark defeat Nefarious the first time? I have no idea if Qwark used to be a legit hero, or if it all was faked.

By the way iris is just siri backwards which they almost do the same thing

He’s my second favorite character, but that depends which game he’s in.

Your gonna have 1 million subs in no time :)

I've always wondered what species Qwark is

I wonder what the other dimension qwark is like and if we will see him in rift apart

Well I did have that thought, but when I heard it was a sequel to Size Matters I kinda understand that since Ratchet was kind of loosing his intelligence after size matters it would make sense because Ratchet is a little stupid

Haaa Qwark.. His supersize ego, his funny lines, .... Clearly one of the best characters in the series. I especially love the way he was used in the original trilogy. The way he went from respected hero to treatorous vilain, then to redemption in RC3. His arc was really interesting and I like how they ended up making him a likable ally despite all his flaws. I couldn't say the same about the Future era, though. They kept putting him in just to have him there, but he served almost NO purpose. His personnality wasn't as fleshed out and he wasn't as funny as he used to be. All 4 One was the only game that nailed it for me. I guess there are so many points the PS2 era just can't be surpassed. :(

Captain qwark vs homelander i wonder who's better

Interesting video!

He definitely does not consider them friends. He still has every intention to throw you under the bus if the situation arises. That is not what friends do. That would be considered an associate.

Why does ratchet’s head get flatter each game

3:58 propagaaaanda

if we do get another ratchet and clank remake a new pre order bonus would be awesome to have like extra weapons and new armor.

The big Al's roboshack ad was shot after the start of ratchet 1 because you can see a wanted poster with ratchet on it

Where in the heck did you get Qwark's full name? xD

Actually he has appeared in 11 put of 13 games.

I think the remake would take place during when he got imprisoned

I hope scrunch makes a comeback

Will you be making a update/remake of this video to include the new Ratchet & Clank game "A rift apart"... aka quarks actions during the game and his reaction to captain quantum?

at first i didn't think much of quark now knowing all the stuff he did to nefarious i just outright hate him.

Sasha came back?!?!!

Why didnt i pick up on that trick clank played on quark in size matters. Wow im slow for all these years

Ngl am i the only one that kinda gets slightly johnny cage vibes from qwark kinda, idk why he just gives me those vibes kinda

VTNVIVI where did you make the pic and the Channel. Photoshop?

Wait a minute, Qwark’s middle name is...........Leslie?!

Ratchet and Clank are the real heros in the series. It's funny that Quark only uses them for his fame.

I hate the post-future trilogy design of not just Qwark, but every character who received a massive design change.

Does he ever takes his suit off or is suit part of him ?

why is mini qwark in clank's megapolis apartment?

please do a lore video on the original Galatic rangers

3:09 At age 26.

Maybe it is just me, but quark seems like a knockoff kronk.

Is Ratchet & Clank all4one cannon? Or is it non-cannon?

What kind of alien 👽 is Captain Qwark he looks somewhat human?

I don't mind size matters but the way qwark was in that made me really dislike him.

Antiheros are badass quark is a coward I have more respect for nefarious he is funny tho so I'm glad he's in the series

Gud vid

I really like ratchet dead lock graphics. Why size matter graphics quality go down

Personally, I really don’t like Quark. Even som this s is really amazing!

Qwark might be dumb and coward (lovable dummy) but he's not as bad as Peter Griffin

If only I could do a collab. But one, my channel's dead, and 2, I'm an overly logical 13 year old with the cringeworthiest voice ever.

the remake is not canon btw

:3

Fu captain Qwark is the best!!!

Well ratchet and clank I get mission for you to save galaxy 🌌 form monsters really go to work come in qwark ratchet go be heroes 🦸‍♂️ or maybe not do not miss up this mission qwark out lol 😆

I like Qwark as a dum funny ridiculous character who think he is a hero. I didt like him in 1 and 2. He was more Hilarious in tools of destruction and size matters and Nexus. In sercet agent clank i like it that i could play as him. It was funny. In 3, and a crack in time wear his best roles. in All for one and Q forces it was a littel fun to play as him not that mots. And his role did get funnier. I have to say rebuut Qwark was more a nice guy in bold the movie and game. So i like that Qwark more then the ps2 Qwark. But wichtout him? Ratchet and clank would have not funny moments. Its not that he is need it in mots games but yea its fun when he is there.

Wait, Qwark lost reelection? I thought he was removed from office. How long was he the president? It was only during the comic and throughout All 4 One, which supposedly only took something over a year on the timeline at most. Galactic presidents have such a short term? It's quite a shame Qwark was Galactic president so shortly. The writers could have gotten so much more story, character development and humor from such situation. Instead they basically used that plot point only for one joke in the opening of All 4 One where Qwark was sleeping on the job and that was it. Throughout the whole game, his presidential status was hardly even mentioned and didn't mean anything for how the events unfolded. When you play as Qwark in A4O, you are supposedly playing as the president of the whole Galaxy. Yet Qwark was still his normal superhero wannabe. This new situation for him wasn't even used. I guess his presidential status had more impact on the events of the comic. That's true. But since it was just a comic a d wasn't in the game, many people might have missed it. In any case, this situation was too short for its great potential.

crotchatizer?
