Who is the /co/ villain equivalent of Little Slugger?

Give me a quick rundown on this guy.

>>93564270
>>>/a/

>>93564270
Batman. Beats up mentally ill people in some misguided effort to make them better, and is brought to life after an adult still stuck in their youth refuses to let go of a traumatic event in their childhood.

>>93564270
I was just thinking about re-watching this today.
GET OUT OF MY HEAD!

>>93564348
Not OP but
Lil Slugger is a kid that goes around on skates knocking people out.

{Spoiler} he's actually a manifestation from people who are too stressed out looking for away to be a victim.

>>93564348
like a manifestation of your guilt or something?

i need to rewatch it

>>93564348
>Bunch of people say they were attacked by random street punk beating them with a baseball bat
>Later revealed these people were all deeply guilty of something or insecure as fuck and projected their insecurities onto a fictional boogeyman
>Eventually this happens so much that he manifests as a supernatural entity capable of causing mass hysteria, suicide, etc in people fueled by negative feelings and people lying to themselves to escape their own reality
>Can only be defeated by people accepting who they are

I haven't seen the series in years though

Why can't comic writers convincingly write proper anti-escapist shit like this?

>>93564397
Is Batman a different person than Bruce Wayne?

Batman and Slugger are both only as strong as their victim's fear makes them

You didn't ask for it, but you're getting it anyways.

Superman Annual #11
For the Man Who Has Everything

>>93564348
Basically a tulpa created by an overworked Mangaka/Animator that beats the shit out of her because she's under heavy pressure to get her dumb puppy cartoon to be a massive hit.
It quickly becomes an urban legend and begins becoming other overstressed people's tulpa.
It gets really out of hand, to the point tons of people in Japan are being attacked.
In the end it all comes to a head where he becomes a giant blob monster that destroys Japan.
But eventually he's undone when the Mangaka goes back in her memories and apologizes to her dead puppy for letting him die and blaming Lil Slugger for it.

>Have dream where you have friends

The worst part was when it happened in real life

Even individuals from highly polite asian societies occasionally need someone to draw them out of their shell.

In America, "I saw that 8 year old kid kill a puppy isn't something that people see, but its something that happens."

Even worse when your dream is a "What if?" scenario of a once promising relationship that broke apart because you got fucked over, and in your mind she is the same good person you thought she was at the beginning.

Hmm, his silhouette is uncannily similar to the iconic kineticist from Pathfinder.

>>93565179
Dont remember that episode

But he is basically like Freddy Krueger but in real life not dreams

>>93565179
Pretty much, only physically abusive.

>>93565179
yes

>>93565354
At least when he wakes up he will be fucking Superman

Tulpa created from a bogus story about someone being attacked by a roller skating kid with a baseball bat.

The rumor spread, giving him greater form and power.

He usually goes after people who are "cornered," so stressed and anxious that they are at the end of their ropes. While terrified of being pursued and attacked by him, his targets come out feeling refreshed afterwards as they can temporarily escape their troubles by taking on the role of a violent crime victim and saving them from having to take responsibility for their lives. As the tulpa heirs stronger, he starts murdering beleagueed people who still die with smiles on their faces as their ordeals have been truly ended.

He's a Long-Range Autonomous Stand basically as while he gets mightier due to his connection to the broader public conscience, he's still fundamentally linked to the progenitor of the rumor.

I love this story, but let's take a moment to appreciate that Alan Moore wrote an issue where Jason Todd defeats Mongul.

It's supposed to be an owlbear.

>>93565931
What sound does an owlbear make?

>>93565947
Probably a sound similar to a screech-owl, but deeper. In other words, and pants-shittingly scary noise. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4mogrWHTS4

Come on /co/. Come on.

That's in terms of mo. In terms of being a poltergeist summoned by a little girl's repressed feelings he's the Candlemaker Dorothy Spinner summoned in Doom Patrol.

Sounds like a Persona villain

>>93568041
Persona and Paranoia Agent are similar in that they're both rooted in the magical realist story element of Jung's collective unconscious bleeding into the real world.
