Go To

  • Complete Monster: The Showtime Killer is a merciless Serial Killer who views the Butterflies as his perfect victims. Having murdered at least 17 people in different cities from the West Coast prior to his involvement with Caught, Showtime makes his presence known by invading chat rooms and demonstrating his knowledge of his targets' private lives. Following a Butterfly, Showtime sends him a disk containing a video titled "The Show Must Go On", which shows the bloodied corpse of one of his victims. In one of his "murder trips", Showtime goes to Seattle and abducts two Butterflies, taking them to a secluded location and torturing them with scissors and other tools while filming their agony. Showtime stands in contrast to other antagonists as an entirely human threat who takes pleasure in hurting defenseless people.
  • I Am Not Shazam: Subverted in that, even though Caught is not really his name, since he has never provided an alternativenote , it has become his canonical nickname.
  • Jerkass Woobie: Caught is an ill-tempered and sarcastic asshole, but it's hard not to feel sorry for him considering what he goes through.
