The illusive Man From Nowhere (MFN) is a troper who loves to press the random button. Tends to sneak in and fix typos on many pages, spends quite a bit of time reading the site at work.

Tropes that describe this troper:

• A Degree in Useless: Subverted in that his degree is in Computer Science instead of the usual fields. His sister plays it straight with a degree in Philosophy though.
• American Political System: MFN is an avid follower of politics. Politically he is an American Libertarian leaning heavily towards American Political Conservatism.
• Basement Dweller
• Deism
• Disability Superpower: Suffers from Asperger's Syndrome among other things...
• The Eighties: MFN grew up in the 80s and his taste in entertainment reflects that. Not only that but he grew up in Southern California in the 80s and as such is sometimes prone to Surfer Speak.
• Everybody Was Kung-Fu Fighting: Or in his case Tae Kwon Do fighting.
• Everything's Better with Bacon: A personal motto that is religiously followed by MFN.
• Loners are Freaks
• Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness: MFN has a habit of devolving into this whenever he is excited about a topic.
• The Snark Knight
• Society For Creative Anachronism: Not technically a member but had many friends that were. Also attended enough Renaissance Fairs for honorary membership.
• Subbing versus Dubbing: MFN is firmly on the Dub side of this argument and has contempt for "Sub Snobs".
• TV Tropes Will Ruin Your Life
• White Knighting: Has a bad habit of White Knighting on forums, particularly in defense of politically conservative ideals or in opposition to raw ignorance or stupidity.

MFN is a huge fan of:
