I'm not shooting him down because it's Dragon, lmao. He's ranting about something he doesn't know anything about. There is so much more to Slender Man than he thinks. And I don't see how Slender Man having "no origin story" has to do with his worthiness for a battle. Superman and Goku both essentially have origin stories that were never even mentioned in their battle. Slender Man has been around longer than his game. It's just his game that made him so much more popular. Just as how Leonidas was made popular through 300, William Wallace through Braveheart, etc. Even if Slender Man isn't as historical or long-lasting as them, being made popular from a computer game doesn't suddenly mean he's terrible. Yes, he's "basically like Freddy". Difference is, Freddy is a short-lasting fad that's already dying down, while Slender Man's fame has only been rising since his first appearance. Man has a lot more to him than just the game.
