== Biography ==
=== Xavier Llewellyn's universe ===
In [[universe (The Non-Canonical, Unlicensed and Non-Valid Sequel to Arcbeatle Press’(s) April Fool's Anthology “The Noodle Incident”...)|one universe]], the Noodle Man was the titular character of [[Arcbeatle Press (in-universe)|Arcbeatle Press]]' 2024 [[April Fool's Day]] anthology ''[[The Noodle Incident (in-universe)|The Noodle Incident]]''. The license was held by the [[Plummiest of the Puddings]], who didn't give it to [[Xavier Llewellyn (in-universe)|Xavier Llewellyn]] when they set about writing a "[[The Non-Canonical, Unlicensed and Non-Valid Sequel to Arcbeatle Press’(s) April Fool's Anthology “The Noodle Incident”... (in-universe)|revenge fanfiction]]" after they weren't asked to write a story for the anthology. The Plummiest of the Puddings did ''approve'' of the idea though. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Non-Canonical, Unlicensed and Non-Valid Sequel to Arcbeatle Press’(s) April Fool's Anthology “The Noodle Incident”... (short story)|The Non-Canonical, Unlicensed and Non-Valid Sequel to Arcbeatle Press’(s) April Fool's Anthology “The Noodle Incident”, 2024: 2 Noodle, 2 Furious 2, The Electric Boogaloo, feat. the Piscons, Jenny Everywhere and the People’ Republic of China]]'')

=== Lured to Xavier Llewellyn's universe ===
Using their knowledge of the Noodle Man's fictional counterpart, [[Xavier Llewellyn (in-universe)|Xavier Llewellyn]] set about a plan to murder the real Noodle Man in revenge for [[Arcbeatle Press (in-universe)|Arcbeatle Press]]' actions. Xavier took a [[Pot Noodle]] out of their cupboard, emptying the noodles within onto the floor and repeatedly jumped up and down on them, and, with civility, began insulting, goading and cursing the Noodle Man, also claiming the smashed Pot Noodle was [[Noodle Wife]] for extra effect.

The Noodle Man entered Xavier's universe, first merely a single noodle that flopped to the floor, before a whole heap. He, in good faith, extended a hand to Xavier, seemingly understanding thst they hadn't just senselessly murdered Noodle Wife, but Xavier beat him with a blender before jumping up and down on his fedora. Xavier then grabbed the Noodle Man's head, smashing it against a wall, and then by the trenchcoat, spinning him around towards a pre-prepared pan of boiling water and plunging his head face first into the scolding contents. Xavier ignored the pain as their hand also was submerged while decapitating the Noodle Man with a knife. As the Noodle Man's head bubbled in the water and shifted to face Xavier, they spat at his face, disparaging him for never saying "IT'S NOODLE TIME" and noodling everywhere and making a noodbillion dollars.

Sitting next to the Noodle Man's dead body, the adrenaline depleted from Xavier and they found themself becoming hungry, so they took the heat down to a simmer as they prepared a [[sweet and sour sauce]] and [[faux-egg]]. They ate the meal on their sofa, then taking a short nap. Xavier woke up, feeling a pain in their chest, noticed a pool of blood ooze into their shirt. They convulsed in pain before their brain shut off as their chest exploded, a fountain of bloodied noodles gushing out: [[Second Noodle Man II]] was born.

He introduced himself to the world — "MMMMM, IM SECOND NOODLE MAN II,.,.,..,.... YES, NOODLE NOODLE, MMMMMMMMM YEAH" — but then [[Earth (The Non-Canonical, Unlicensed and Non-Valid Sequel to Arcbeatle Press’(s) April Fool's Anthology “The Noodle Incident”...)|Earth]] was hit by a stray gamma-ray burst from another galaxy, ending all life on the planet ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Non-Canonical, Unlicensed and Non-Valid Sequel to Arcbeatle Press’(s) April Fool's Anthology “The Noodle Incident”... (short story)|The Non-Canonical, Unlicensed and Non-Valid Sequel to Arcbeatle Press’(s) April Fool's Anthology “The Noodle Incident”, 2024: 2 Noodle, 2 Furious 2, The Electric Boogaloo, feat. the Piscons, Jenny Everywhere and the People’ Republic of China]]'') and destroying all trace of life, turning the surface into "oceans of fire". However, as one [[Jenny Everywhere (Jenny Everywhere in: The Unofficial and Now Just Plainly Annoyingly Titled Sequel to...)|Jenny Everywhere]] watched the destruction of Earth from within the safety of [[the Infinite]], she saw how, somehow, a single noodle "modestly" kept afloat the lava.
