Eddie is raised mainly by his brother, Henry, which causes him a lot of emotional problems in his adulthood, due in part to the fact that his mother never let him forget that Henry gave up a lot of opportunities to be his guardian. While basically untrue, this feeling that Eddie has somehow cheated his brother out of a life is the source of a lot of Eddie’s emotional stumbling blocks.

This talent comes in handy against Blaine the Mono, when Eddie confounds the train with his nonsense jokes.
