Reek

Reek is a human from the Rise of the Beasts portion of the Movie continuity family.

"I'm on the TFWiki! It's my way of fighting against the corporate capitalist takeover of fandom wiki spaces!"

A friend of Noah Díaz, Reek happily exists on the shady side of the law. Hanging out on the streets of Brooklyn chewing his Twizzlers, he fights the system holding him down, usually in a way that gets him a nice wad of cash in the process and involves getting someone else to do the actual work. He has a variety of breathing exercises and wellness techniques to help you get through any stressful situation, whether it be your first carjacking, you first police chase, or your first encounter with an alien being from another planet.

Noah Díaz hacked a television box for Reek, allowing him to receive cable television for free. He returned it to him before heading out to his latest job interview, Reek asking him to consider putting his skills as an electrical engineer to some real (illegal) use. That night, with the interview having been called off before it even happened, and Noah's brother Kris in desperate need of money for healthcare, Noah agreed to help Reek out on a job. Reek drove him to a luxury hotel, and informed him of the target — a luxury Porsche that had been sat there for weeks without moving. He stayed in the car outside while Noah broke in, giving him advice over a radio headset, although his knowledge of the hotel proved lacking when a supposedly empty room turned out to be a laundry room full of people. He talked Noah through shimmying open the Porsche's window. When the Porsche raced off by itself, Noah trapped in the seat, Reek followed them, believing their operation had been a success. When the NYPD arrived and began chasing Noah in force, though, Reek ignored Noah's pleas for help, pretending the signal was breaking up and turning off down a side street.

Reek was present in Brooklyn when the dark cloud from the activation of the Transwarp Key reached the city.

Some time later, Reek helped Noah in obtaining second-hand (as well as plenty of third-hand, fourth-hand, and junked) parts to rebuild a Porsche just like the one they had attempted to steal. Reek questioned why Noah would do such a thing, when the car was worth nothing. Noah responded by letting the newly rebuilt Mirage reveal himself, to Reek's shock. Rise of the Beasts

Notes

• Reek was based on Tarik Jackson, a close friend of the film's director Steven Caple Jr.. Jackson had been a fan of Nwigwe's work and sadly passed away in 2021 prior to shooting, leading Caple Jr. to have Paramount reach out to Nwigwe himself to portray the character in tribute.^[1]
