Everymanhybrid
EverymanHYBRID is the name given to the Youtube series started on March 21st 2010 by a group of three people known as Vincent, Evan, and Jeff. The series started out as a health, fitness, and nutrition show with Vincent as the host, Evan as the dietary specialist, and Jeff as the cameraman and editor. However, after a certain number of episodes with small appearances from a fake Slenderman, supposedly the real one cut in and began to torment the group.
EverymanHYBRID introduced a new light to the idea of proxies, expanded on ideas within the mythos such as sigma radiation, also a large sport of crossovers in the mythos, and notable for referencing the creepypasta “Rake”.
In terms of proxies, EverymanHYBRID uses proxies in a contrast was than other series, as the proxy HABIT is not a human entity, or not thought to be one. HABIT is different, because this form of proxy has control over others, hosts, and uses them to carry out the will of Slender. Though it may appear to act independently as well.
The series also attempts to explain various matters around the Slenderman such as why technological equipment has frequent failures or distortion when Slender is present. This is explained through saying that Slender emits ‘Sigma Radiation’, or radiation that interferes with technical equipment.
EverymanHYBRID is known for having multiple crossovers with other series such as Greenfeathers, the Can you see the words blog, and TribeTwelve. Once again, this all collects and brings together the mythos, introducing series from series to spread it over the internet.
The unique thing about EverymanHYBRID also is its use of the “Rake”, a creepypasta character which is part of its own genre, helping classify Slender as a creepypasta himself, and also spreading the mythos into another genre. This way, people from the creepypasta genre can now spread into the mythos and spread the Slenderman across a wider range.
