** There's a surprisingly large amount of bloggers named or going by the alias of [[Blog/AnomalousData Jay]], [[WebVideo/MarbleHornets J]], [[WebVideo/EverymanHYBRID [J]]], etc.
** The name [[WebVideo/EverymanHYBRID Jeff]]'s popped up a few times, as well as different versions of Elizabeth.

* ReferencedBy:
** ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'''s Endermen are based on Slendy.
** A (not the, ''a'') Slenderman cameos in ''WebOriginal/MyPropertyIsntNormal,'' a series about a man living in an EldritchLocation at the behest of the MenInBlack. Here, it wears animal skins instead of a business suit, and is quickly driven off when the protagonist cuts off one of its tentacles and then [[FullFrontalAssault streaks at it.]]
** Slendy himself has a brief appearance in ''VideoGame/BoxxyQuestTheGatheringStorm''. Interestingly, this time his arrival actually ''aids'' the protagonists, as he targets the villain first and keeps her busy long enough for the heroes to escape the forest they’re all lost in.
** The Smile Men from ''Film/TheNewMutants'', with their {{Eyeless Face}}s, slender limbs, and attacks on young people, resemble the Slender Man.
