![]() He has been known to use these appendages to grab others or even use them as extra limbs for transportation. Amongst his most well known abilities, the Slender Man is able to form black, tentacle-like appendages, which emerge from his back. The Slender Man's abilities remain largely undefined, although their are certain traits and powers he has been observed displayed on numerous occasions. The Slender Man has been depicted in art as wearing other outfits in the past, such as a knight's armor or an outift reminiscent of a Pharoah's. Although his face is often seen as featureless, close analysis of the Slender Man's face reveals that he has two empty indents where a human's eyes would usually be. At times, the Slender Man has been shown to wear black gloves or have hands which match the tone of his face in color. He wears a business suit and white undershirt, along with a tie (generally either black or red in color). The Slender Man is typically depicted as an unnaturally tall man (anywhere from six to nine or more feet tall) with a white, featureless face. It is believed by some that the Slender Man is a god from the 4th World, capable of transporting others to said paradise and granting them godhood as well. ![]() It is unclear whether the Slender Man truly emerged from the Rift on that day, and if so, whether it emerged for the first time or can come and go as it pleases. The experiment eventually proved successful and a Rift was opened, prompting the Slender Man to slaughter all who were present except for one man. ![]() In 1958, the Princeton Experiment, performed by a former Nazi scientist now working for the United States government, attempted to create a Rift connecting our 3rd World to the 4th World, in an attempt to call forth a Gorr'Rylaehotep (an ancient Egyptian god). A variant of this, known as core theory, became popular in various blogs centered around the Slender Man, but was later seemingly debunked. Soon after the Slender Man's new-found popularity began, theories centering around the "tulpa effect" became somewhat common. One popular theory is that the Slender Man is a tulpa, a lifeform brought into existance from the collective thoughts of many individuals, who then wrote himself into history. Various theories for the Slender Man's origins have been thought up since the tall man's introduction into popular culture. Slender Man sightings have since been traced as far back as ancient Egypt. Many early 1900s photographs featuring the Slender Man and stories of unexplained fires and disappearances were also brought to light, which were set in various places around the world. ![]() Der Ritter ("The Knight"), a sixteenth century woodcut attributed to Hans Freckenberg, which featured a knight duelling an armored creature with multiple limbs, was also connected to the Slender Man legend. The Slender Man was later connected with the story of Der Großmann ("The Great Man"), a bogeyman that had supposedly been sighted in Germany's Black Forest as early as the sixteenth century. Several aspects of these stories became central to later Slender Man legends, including mention of him murdering hikers and hanging garbage bags containing their organs from trees as well as the entity having some sort of relation to Germany. The Slender Man proved highly popular, with various other posters adding their own Slender Man-related images and stories. Victor Surge posted the first images of the Slender Man, describing him as a tall, faceless man that steals away children. The Slender Man was first mentioned in 2009 in the Something Awful forums' Create Paranormal Images thread.
