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.

- Basement-Dweller
- Deism
- Disability Superpower: Suffers from Aspergers Syndrome among other things...
- The '80s: 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.

- 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".
