[[WMG: Finn is simply the latest in a long line of heroes.]]
Many people have noted that Finn's adventures greatly resemble those of the the [[RetiredBadass retired hero]] Billy; it's evem lampshaded. Perhaps ''every'' generation has a hero like this; each one training from birth to take up the role once the previous hero dies. These heroes are basically the only thing keeping Ooo from tearing itself apart and are incredibly essential. However, because Billy broke the cycle by having a HeroicBSOD and retreating into his crack, Finn was forced to start [[KidHero earlier]] than normal, which is why he is given so much responsibility when he's clearly not mature enough for it.

[[WMG: Jake will grow extremely sick due to old age, and Finn will need to find the Fountain of Youth to save him]]
If the series goes on for several years, the characters ''will'' age, and if Jake ages in dog years and not human years, he'll get older a lot more quickly than Finn...even get weaker from old age and in danger of dying. It seems hopeless until Princess Bubblegum tells him about the legendary Fountain of Youth, and Finn needs to embark on a race against time to get the fountain water to Jake and make him young again before he dies. To make it worse, Jake is so sick he can't come with him.
[[WMG: Ever since finding out that human meat is delicious, Jake has been plotting to kill Finn so he could eat him.]]
This gets a lot of support from the episode "Mystery Train," in which Jake treats Finn to a train ride leading to a "surprise." At the end, the tracks go straight over a cliff, and the only thing that saves them is a gelatin person that acts as a cushion. Finn praises Jake for the planning of that, only to be told that it wasn't planned for them to be saved. Finn says, "So we could've-" as Jake interrupts, "Died horribly? ''[[OhCrap Yes...]]'' happy ''birthday,'' '''''pal!!'''''" Jake definitely could have survived the fall by either shrinking to a microscopic size or jumping out the window at the last second and turning his arms into wings, as well as an unlimited amount of other survival strategies.
* As much as I love this WMG, there's a few holes: 1. Why would Jake plan a party at the end? 2. Why didn't he jump out before they landed in the gelatin person? 3. The yummy meat would be squished by train parts.
[[WMG: The whole land of Oo is Jake's dream (and Finn is dead).]]
Certain characteristics of the show coincide with things that occur in dreams. The focus on food, for one, is at the front of the mind for every dog, hence the dream world is populated with food characters. This is jumbled in with items remembered from the real world such as the technology and ruined buildings. Jake's personality oscillates between good friend and total jerkass, a trait of a dream where the dreamer is inconsistant with how he views himself.
Focusing on Finn, he dies (or appears to die) more frequently than any other character, as Jake's memories of the real world cause him to keep reliving the death of his friend. As such, in order to reinforce his perception of Finn and make him seem invincible, he alters the dream so that Finn always comes out okay despite the monsters attacking and the wounds inflicted.

* Ice King is a JerkAss teacher
** Or possibly a sleazy one, considering his predilection for young girls.
* Marceline is his babysitter

* Lumpy Space Princess is his semi-obese older sister
** She hit on him in "To Cut a Woman's Hair", so it would be make more sense if she was his classmate. Unless you guys are into [[BrotherSisterIncest the former]].
* Tree Trunks is his grandmother
** In lieu of this, perhaps her disappearance was her death via an exhaustion induced heart attack, her explosion symbolic of a violent fit and the last part a fading memory. After her death Finn simply tuned out the corpse from his perception, similar to Nectar in {{Haze}}.
* Ricardio is a creepy janitor at his school
* Lady Rainicorn is Jake's favorite dog toy
* [[FridgeHorror Mama's supposed to LOVE baby!]] [[TearJerker She's supposed to LOVE baby!]]
** The entire Jiggler situation smacked of a kid finding an abandoned crack baby in an alleyway, almost kill it by feeding it drugs found near it (thus why he called the grape a purple thing, it was actually a capsule), nurse it back to health and try to return it to its mother, only for her to have a psychotic fit and nearly kill them, calming down once she'd had her fix.
* The two dogs from "Memories of Boom-Boom Mountain" could be Finn's foster family.
* The Duke of Nuts is the really nice but jittery classmate of Finn and Bubblegum's that always eats her pudding but tries to make it up to Bubblegum.
* Donnie could be a bully who's a grade higher or less than Finn and he picks on the grade lower than him.
* The Viking Marauders may also be in Donnie's class and the main viking's dad is the mountain that's too sensitive to the others rough-housing.
** The girl mountain is his wife.
* The Witch with the doughnut garden is the creepy old woman in Finn's neighborhood.
** Or perhaps a baker.
* Penny could be the little girl with a bad habit of stealing things.
* The Magic Man is the town's con-artist.
* Billy is an older cousin who is an incredible athlete.
** More than likely an uncle or something similiar. His community minded methods are due to him watching Finn's father's downward spiral until he became what Finn sees as the Lich, leading to a violent confrontation with Lich and his own shame over hurting his own flesh and blood.
* Depending on how the arc is played out, the Lich King could be Finn's abusive biological father and the "castle" he is sealed in is a prison or rehab center.
** Perhaps the cold association is due to abuse by exposure, forcing Finn to sleep outside in winter, perhaps? His face being torn off could have been as a result of a confrontation with Billy (explained above) causing him dental and facial damage. His body surfing into a snail could imply that he slipped into a coma as a result of his fight with Finn, apparently dead to Finn, but in reality he still poses a threat.

Most likely scenario and best for the mind, bullied. No friends at school, he's ridiculed constantly. His adventures are just daydreams and whatnot. The other characters represent various people in his life:
* Jake is his dog
** Possibly his older brother, since he identifies as such in season 1.
* Ice King is a JerkAss teacher
** Or possibly a sleazy one, considering his predilection for young girls.
* Marceline is his babysitter
** Alternatively, she's an upperclassman who bullies Finn but is friendly about it, unlike the actual villains in the series, allowing her to remain a "good" character in Finn's fantasy.
* Princess Bubblegum is a girl at school he has a crush on
* Lumpy Space Princess is his semi-obese older sister
** She hit on him in "To Cut a Woman's Hair", so it would be make more sense if she was his classmate. Unless you guys are into [[BrotherSisterIncest the former]].
* Tree Trunks is his grandmother
** In lieu of this, perhaps her disappearance was her death via an exhaustion induced heart attack, her explosion symbolic of a violent fit and the last part a fading memory. After her death Finn simply tuned out the corpse from his perception, similar to Nectar in {{Haze}}.
* Ricardio is a creepy janitor at his school
* Lady Rainicorn is Jake's favorite dog toy
* [[FridgeHorror Mama's supposed to LOVE baby!]] [[TearJerker She's supposed to LOVE baby!]]
** The entire Jiggler situation smacked of a kid finding an abandoned crack baby in an alleyway, almost kill it by feeding it drugs found near it (thus why he called the grape a purple thing, it was actually a capsule), nurse it back to health and try to return it to its mother, only for her to have a psychotic fit and nearly kill them, calming down once she'd had her fix.
* The two dogs from "Memories of Boom-Boom Mountain" could be Finn's foster family.
* The Duke of Nuts is the really nice but jittery classmate of Finn and Bubblegum's that always eats her pudding but tries to make it up to Bubblegum.
* Donnie could be a bully who's a grade higher or less than Finn and he picks on the grade lower than him.
* The Viking Marauders may also be in Donnie's class and the main viking's dad is the mountain that's too sensitive to the others rough-housing.
** The girl mountain is his wife.
* The Witch with the doughnut garden is the creepy old woman in Finn's neighborhood.
** Or perhaps a baker.
* Penny could be the little girl with a bad habit of stealing things.
* The Magic Man is the town's con-artist.
* Billy is an older cousin who is an incredible athlete.
** More than likely an uncle or something similiar. His community minded methods are due to him watching Finn's father's downward spiral until he became what Finn sees as the Lich, leading to a violent confrontation with Lich and his own shame over hurting his own flesh and blood.
* Depending on how the arc is played out, the Lich King could be Finn's abusive biological father and the "castle" he is sealed in is a prison or rehab center.
** Perhaps the cold association is due to abuse by exposure, forcing Finn to sleep outside in winter, perhaps? His face being torn off could have been as a result of a confrontation with Billy (explained above) causing him dental and facial damage. His body surfing into a snail could imply that he slipped into a coma as a result of his fight with Finn, apparently dead to Finn, but in reality he still poses a threat.

[[WMG: Jake is Bender incarnate.]]
Bender wandered off into the woods one night, possibly drunk, and accidentally [[AWizardDidIt angered a wizard]], which turned him into a dog. (Un?)Fortunately, she forgot to account for Bender's bending abilities. Bender then went under a new identity, known as "Jake". Then the Great Mushroom Wars happened and Jake survived, eventually meeting up with the last human, Finn. Then he got to where we know him today.
[[WMG: Even Finn (and possible Susan Strong)is/are not normal Humans by today's standards.]]
They were just not mutated visually. Think about it. Finn is incredibly strong and agile for a kid his age. Not to mention his flexibility. Susan Strong, on the other hand, does not exactly have the standard musculature of even body builders. I might've written it off as her life style, but the Hyoomans certainly aren't that strong.
[[WMG: Finn will lose to the Lich in the Season 4 Finale, the Land of Ooo will descend into madness and Finn will disappear.]]
However, he will return in Season 5, older and stronger and ready to kick some Lich-ass! Furthermore, it will be a major shout-out to the fans, about how growing older isn't about losing your dreams and submitting to authority, it's about gaining the power to fulfill your dreams...I really want that to happen.
[[WMG: Finn will be the next BILLY]]
When Finn becomes older and has gone through more training and experience, he'll mature to be more like a new Billy.
[[WMG:Finn never broke free of the Lich's control]]
The Lich thought he was too good to waste, so he placed him in a hallucination where he was breaking free, when he ripped out the top of the Lich's head he was actually choking Ice King and PB to death, and when he fought giant PB he actually killed Jake, who had stretched out big and tried to stop him; anytime he kills a monster or does something good, he is actually killing the good guys under the Lich's control.
* [[KillEmAll Well]] [[CrapsaccharineWorld that's]] [[KnightTemplar pretty]] [[MoralEventHorizon depressing.]]
** But there's also a hole in that theory ([[ParanoiaFuel thank God]]). If he killed the Ice King, how did he kill giant PB/"Jake" with the Ice King's help?
*** The "Ice King" that helped him was the Lich.
**** What about the Jake that helped him?
** What about when PB/"Jake" is turned 13 years old and we see the possessed snail?
*** [[HappyPlace Maybe PB turning 13 was]] [[LotusEaterMachine just a little gift from the lich.]] The snail could also be the Lich looking into Finn's mind.
*** Sometimes in hallucinated realities, there are little clues that it is actually a hallucination, at least in shows and movies. The snail is Finn's mind trying to tell him that something is not right.
[[WMG: Finn is a [[{{Dragon Ball}} Super Saiyan]].]]
He's totally a super saiyan.
* Re watch [[http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_levbbzYC8D1qzrbk9o1_500.jpg "To Cut a Woman's Hair]] he is not a super saiyan, he has long golden hair and no eye brows he's totally a Super Saiyan 3
[[WMG: Finn's autotuned singing voice is a [[TakeThat Take That]] at Glee's use of AutoTune.]]
Or perhaps a [[TakeThat take that]] at the general (over)use of AutoTune in pop music nowadays?
[[WMG: Finn is a ReplacementGoldfish for Penn.]]
One of Penn's unseen adventures after the pilot ended... poorly. However, Jake was able to escape with his NiceHat and get it to Princess Bubblegum, who manages to clone him. However, Princess Bubblegum also recognizes that he isn't ''exactly'' like Penn, and gave him a different name to reflect that - a small reminder that Finn ''isn't'' Penn, and to not begrudge him his differences. She's likely still working on some way to bring back the original; see also the Decorpsinator Serum...
[[WMG: Jake was the one who picked Finn up as a baby]]
Now, according to the flashback, we see two Jake-like parental figures pick up Finn, but the fast-talking J. Jonah Jameson-esque voices suggest that this was just Finn splitting Jake into separate parental units. Not sure if this counts as WMG, though...may just be a case of DontExplainTheJoke.
* How does the way they talk suggest that?
** C'mon, man, he was a BABY. Do you really think his memory was that good? Maybe when Jake told Finn just to think about what HE wanted, that just got mixed up with his limited recollection of the scenario. Like some kind of Animal Farm thing.
*** Finn does have unusually sharp memories of his Boom-Boom incident, or at least a deeply-forged self-fulfilling-prophecy version thereof.
**** It could be that Finn was raised by a community of dogs like Mogli in the Jungle Book and Jake was a neighbor to the family that took in Finn and became his best friend.
***** I figured that Jake was the son of the two dogs that found Finn. When Finn was 8 years old, the two dogs had a pup named Jake. This would mean that by the time Finn was 12, Jake would be 4 (or 28 in dog years, which he claims to be in the pilot).
** WordOfGod says that Joshua and Margaret (the two dogs) are indeed Jake's parents, who raised Finn. Which makes Jake Finn's foster brother. Heavily implied by the fact that right after this flashback, Finn and Jake pretty solemnly call each other "brother" (although Jake has done so less reverently on multiple occasions).
*** And in "Conquest of Cuteness", when Jake and Finn refer to "Mom", they are obviously talking about the same person, clarifying even further that the Mom they're talking about is Jake's mother.
[[WMG: Finn has abandonment issues]]
So we all saw Finn as baby boom-boom, right? All alone in the forest and stuff. Sure, he's upset over that, but there's more to it. In The Jiggler, Finn seemed to [[BerserkButton go berserk]] when the mom didn't want the kid back, screaming 'MOMS ARE SUPPOSED TO LOVE BABIES'. Why? He empathized with Jiggler, and was trying to make it so the baby wouldn't have to be alone in the forest and fall over onto its own boom boom, as he did.
* When I watched it, it seemed more like he was saying "Mom's supposed to love baby!", which is evidence of psychological regression, alluding to deep seated issues. Also, it is ambiguous as to whether the singular 'Mom' and 'Baby' refer to the Jiggler and its mother, or Finn and his missing mother.
** After watching that, I'd be more surprised if he ''didn't'' have abandonment issues.
Here's the episode http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i85hjEcDbic&feature=related judge for your selves, to me it clearly sounds like "Momma's supposed to love baby"
[[WMG: Finn will grow up to be...]]
[[Webcomic/TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja King Radical.]] After going insane and conquering the Land of Ooo (possibly after Jake dies), he renames himself King Radical, and renames the land "Radical Land". Later on, he gets sent back in time, and finds our time period incredibly boring, so he vows to make our world radical... by making the apocalypse happen early.
* Jake is alive and well, he's the dirtbike. And Lady Rainicorn is Sparklelord.
[[WMG: Finn is a bullied and/or abused kid, and the Land of Ooo, Jake, Ice King, etc. Are all figments of his imagination.]]
Most likely scenario and best for the mind, bullied. No friends at school, he's ridiculed constantly. His adventures are just daydreams and whatnot. The other characters represent various people in his life:
* Jake is his dog
** Possibly his older brother, since he identifies as such in season 1.
* Ice King is a JerkAss teacher
** Or possibly a sleazy one, considering his predilection for young girls.
* Marceline is his babysitter
** Alternatively, she's an upperclassman who bullies Finn but is friendly about it, unlike the actual villains in the series, allowing her to remain a "good" character in Finn's fantasy.
* Princess Bubblegum is a girl at school he has a crush on
* Lumpy Space Princess is his semi-obese older sister
** She hit on him in "To Cut a Woman's Hair", so it would be make more sense if she was his classmate. Unless you guys are into [[BrotherSisterIncest the former]].
* Tree Trunks is his grandmother
** In lieu of this, perhaps her disappearance was her death via an exhaustion induced heart attack, her explosion symbolic of a violent fit and the last part a fading memory. After her death Finn simply tuned out the corpse from his perception, similar to Nectar in {{Haze}}.
* Ricardio is a creepy janitor at his school
* Lady Rainicorn is Jake's favorite dog toy
* [[FridgeHorror Mama's supposed to LOVE baby!]] [[TearJerker She's supposed to LOVE baby!]]
** The entire Jiggler situation smacked of a kid finding an abandoned crack baby in an alleyway, almost kill it by feeding it drugs found near it (thus why he called the grape a purple thing, it was actually a capsule), nurse it back to health and try to return it to its mother, only for her to have a psychotic fit and nearly kill them, calming down once she'd had her fix.
* The two dogs from "Memories of Boom-Boom Mountain" could be Finn's foster family.
* The Duke of Nuts is the really nice but jittery classmate of Finn and Bubblegum's that always eats her pudding but tries to make it up to Bubblegum.
* Donnie could be a bully who's a grade higher or less than Finn and he picks on the grade lower than him.
* The Viking Marauders may also be in Donnie's class and the main viking's dad is the mountain that's too sensitive to the others rough-housing.
** The girl mountain is his wife.
* The Witch with the doughnut garden is the creepy old woman in Finn's neighborhood.
** Or perhaps a baker.
* Penny could be the little girl with a bad habit of stealing things.
* The Magic Man is the town's con-artist.
* Billy is an older cousin who is an incredible athlete.
** More than likely an uncle or something similiar. His community minded methods are due to him watching Finn's father's downward spiral until he became what Finn sees as the Lich, leading to a violent confrontation with Lich and his own shame over hurting his own flesh and blood.
* Depending on how the arc is played out, the Lich King could be Finn's abusive biological father and the "castle" he is sealed in is a prison or rehab center.
** Perhaps the cold association is due to abuse by exposure, forcing Finn to sleep outside in winter, perhaps?

*** Perhaps most worrying is Bubblegum's age change...perhaps a sexual assault at the hands of lich caused her to mentally regress.
[[WMG: Finn is the sole survivor of the apocalyptic war.]]
Think about it, Finn is the only human on the show and he has no parents, if the Land of Ooo is the aftermath of a apocalyptic war on earth then some how his parents gave birth to him on the last days of the war and Finn some how was able to survive due to Jake taking him in.
* Pretty sure [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Marceline]] is supposed to be a survivor.
[[WMG:Jake is female.]]
In one episode, he refers to his and Finn's bond as "a mother-daughter thing." Finn gave Jake that name, because his name in his own language is difficult for a normal human to pronounce. However, part of the culture barrier led to him getting a name of the wrong gender. He also believes Finn to be human (hence mother-''daughter''), because in the initial conversation, he said something that amounted to, "I'm the same gender as you are."
** Then why is [[GenderFlip Cake]] a girl?
*** Very tomboyish male cat.
**** ...Don't you mean an effeminate male cat?
[[WMG: Jake is bisexual.]]
Tiffany was Jake's former boyfriend, which he thought would make both Lady Rainicorn and Finn jealous. Also, his crush on Billy.
[[WMG: Jake was once owned by Marceline the Vampire Queen.]]
Or they were in a similar relationship to Finn/Jake. In her introductory episode Evicted! the way she says "No one...makes me...let go...of JAKE!" sounds like she knows him from the past.
* That seems more of just a joke. [[DontExplaintheJoke Saying "No one makes me let go of Jake!" like it is some crucial, strict rule she has always been living by, despite just meeting him.]]
[[WMG: Finn is Princess Bubblegum's younger brother]]
Its more likely then you think, both of them have unseen parents.
* Possibly {{Jossed}} in that Finn has been [[PrecociousCrush romancing]] Bubblegum somewhat more as of late, and CartoonNetwork would probably draw the line at BrotherSisterIncest.
* And she's begun to suspect that he is her missing brother lately and so has become much less snugly.
[[WMG: Finn is NOT a human (or at least not completely).]]
It would explain a lot about him.
* His hat could be any number of things:
** something the species requires him to wear
** something that covers horns, antennae, etc.
** simply part of his head
*** He's shown with the "hat" as a baby, and it still fits his head well, so that's a pull towards this theory.
* His noodly limbs. Sure, other characters have them, but most other characters in the series are not human.
* The theme song DOES explicitly state that he's a human, but it's arguable.
** That bit may just be there to cover up if he really is something other than human.
** It may be there just to fit in with the tune.
** It may also mean "human" in the sense of "bipedal creature descended from apes with opposable thumbs and both sentience and sapience", rather than a specimen of Homo sapiens sapiens. There's probably several dozen distinct species that are referred to as "human".
[[WMG: Finn was born mutated.]]
Finn's parents were rejected from the Land of Ooo for being humans and sent to the [[ILoveNuclearPower nuclear wasteland]] seen in the opening of the show. When Finn was born, they snuck out of the wasteland to the forest and left him there so he wouldn't be exposed to the radiation any longer... but it was [[YouAreTooLate too late.]] Due to being the child of someone who dwellled in radiation for years upon years, he was born with weird horns and noodly limbs.
* The 'weird horns' bit, at least, is {{Jossed}}; "To Cut A Woman's Hair" has him [[spoiler:finally take his hat off to [[TheReveal reveal]]...a head of [[HairOfGold glorious]] [[RapunzelHair rapunzel]] [[CompressedHair hair]]]]. And noodly limbs aren't [[PlanetOfHats exactly]] [[RubberHoseLimbs uncommon]] in Ooo.
[[WMG: Finn is missing an eye.]]
In [[http://i.cartoonnetwork.com/v5cache/CARTOON/site/Images/i3/at_wallpaper2_1680x1050_2.jpg this]] closeup in "The Enchiridion!" when Finn enters the Final Boss's 'Mind Zone', Finn seems to have MismatchedEyes, one blue and one green. This was probably just a stylistic decision, but in the next episode, Finn has a glass eye collection while Jake has an eyepatch collection. Maybe Finn decided eyepatches weren't cool (for the record, they totally are) and gave his collection to Jake when he switched over to glass eyes. Also, in various episodes, Finn appears to have at least one glass eye in his backpack.
[[WMG: Finn's Parents were attacked by Rainicorns]]
* Taking that further, Rainicorns are the reason why humans are all but extinct
[[WMG: Finn is TheChosenOne]]
What he's chosen for I'm not clear but it's been said over and over that he is 'the greatest hero in all of Ooo', something he hasn't completely lived up to just yet. So perhaps the people saying this can see something that we aren't yet aware of.
[[WMG: Susan Strong is Finn's mother.]]
It's hardly a wild guess. They're both blonde, and the only (maybe) humans to show up in the show. A large hole in this theory would be that Susan has never seen sunlight, while Finn somehow got to the surface to be found by Jake's parents...
* Not neccesarily a plot hole- even if Susan ''was'' his mother, his father wasn't living amongst the FishPeople...
* Another possibility is that Susan is Finn's sister. When the humans were dying out, their parents placed one child on the surface and the other in a subterranean safehole.
** Or they were both placed underground, but the adventurous Finn managed to wander out of there somehow, and then he was stumbled upon by Jake's Parents
* Susan got her name by saying "suh...sun!" while talking to Finn. She wasn't saying "sun," she was saying "son!" She knows Finn is her son and was trying to communicate as much.
* I've been sitting on this theory myself for a while now... I think that the monsters at the other end of the underground cavern (the ones that disguise themselves as pool toys) might have got past the barriers along the river and attacked the FishPeople when Finn was a baby. He somehow got knocked into the river in the chaos, and floated downstream. Susan might have thought that the monsters got him, and assume he was dead. (or she might have seen him drifting away and chased him for as long as possible, but was too afraid to leave the underground area when the river went above ground). Finn floated downstream, until he reached the ocean, when he was thrown around, and eventually smashed onto the shore (giving rise to his fear of the ocean). He then crawled as fast as possible into the nearby forest, where he was found by Jake's parents, who took him in and raised him.
After all, the only other place where we've seen hats like Finn's are with the FishPeople.
[[WMG: In the series finale, Finn will either be exploring a new land, [[DownerEnding die]], or [[TrappedInAnotherWorld forever teleported to another dimension]].]]
Then Princess Bubblegum will create a statue in memory of Finn, a hero and the last human.
* Alternatively, Finn finds a time machine and decides to go back in time to live the rest of his life with humans before they all die out.
[[WMG: Finn grows up to be [[Series/ParksAndRecreation Andy Dwyer]].]]
[[WMG: Finn will be alone in the Series Finale.]]
* [[spoiler:So far, it's Jossed by Finn/Princess Bubblegum]]
[[WMG: [[BreakTheCutie Finn will be spiritually broken by the the Lich King]]]]
* And as time passes, [[JadeColoredGlasses he will become more disillusioned]], [[TheEeyore refuse to go on adventures]], [[AgentScully ignore all of the fantastical creatures around him]], [[NietzscheWannabe and maybe even give up on life as a whole]].
** And along with his "breaking", the world around him fades as his innocence fades away as he ages into a teenager (he seems about 11 or 12-ish right now) and Ooo (which was just a figment of his overactive imagination) will slowly disappear.
*** Now that you mention that, it could be possible that Ooo never existed and Finn made it up because he was going insane (being the last human on Earth does get pretty lonely.)
* Maybe Lich King will do that so he can ENTER OUR WORLD. Think about it: if Finn's imagination controls Ooo, then either A. This is the most hardcore case of make-believe ever or B. Finn is sealed somewhere in a government lab in order to make sure all the awful shit that happened in Ooo doesn't effect our universe. Finn is the one keeping the Mushroom War to happen to us. And if the world of Ooo fades away with him, OURS WILL AS WELL.
..It would make for a really depressing finale, if you think about it.
Bender wandered off into the woods one night, possibly drunk, and accidentally [[AWizardDidIt angered a wizard]], which turned him into a dog. (Un?)Fortunately, she forgot to account for Bender's bending abilities. Bender then went under a new identity, known as "Jake". Then the Great Mushroom Wars happened and Jake survived, eventually meeting up with the last human, Finn. Then he got to where we know him today.

Now, according to the flashback, we see two Jake-like parental figures pick up Finn, but the fast-talking J. Jonah Jameson-esque voices suggest that this was just Finn splitting Jake into separate parental units. Not sure if this counts as WMG, though...may just be a case of DontExplainTheJoke.

** Alternatively, she's an upperclassman who bullies Finn but is friendly about it, unlike the actual villains in the series, allowing her to remain a "good" character in Finn's fantasy.
* Princess Bubblegum is a girl at school he has a crush on
* Lumpy Space Princess is his semi-obese older sister
** She hit on him in "To Cut a Woman's Hair", so it would be make more sense if she was his classmate. Unless you guys are into [[BrotherSisterIncest the former]].
* Tree Trunks is his grandmother
** In lieu of this, perhaps her disappearance was her death via an exhaustion induced heart attack, her explosion symbolic of a violent fit and the last part a fading memory. After her death Finn simply tuned out the corpse from his perception, similar to Nectar in {{Haze}}.
* Ricardio is a creepy janitor at his school
* Lady Rainicorn is Jake's favorite dog toy
* [[FridgeHorror Mama's supposed to LOVE baby!]] [[TearJerker She's supposed to LOVE baby!]]
** The entire Jiggler situation smacked of a kid finding an abandoned crack baby in an alleyway, almost kill it by feeding it drugs found near it (thus why he called the grape a purple thing, it was actually a capsule), nurse it back to health and try to return it to its mother, only for her to have a psychotic fit and nearly kill them, calming down once she'd had her fix.
* The two dogs from "Memories of Boom-Boom Mountain" could be Finn's foster family.
* The Duke of Nuts is the really nice but jittery classmate of Finn and Bubblegum's that always eats her pudding but tries to make it up to Bubblegum.
* Donnie could be a bully who's a grade higher or less than Finn and he picks on the grade lower than him.
* The Viking Marauders may also be in Donnie's class and the main viking's dad is the mountain that's too sensitive to the others rough-housing.
** The girl mountain is his wife.
* The Witch with the doughnut garden is the creepy old woman in Finn's neighborhood.
** Or perhaps a baker.
* Penny could be the little girl with a bad habit of stealing things.
* The Magic Man is the town's con-artist.
* Billy is an older cousin who is an incredible athlete.
** More than likely an uncle or something similiar. His community minded methods are due to him watching Finn's father's downward spiral until he became what Finn sees as the Lich, leading to a violent confrontation with Lich and his own shame over hurting his own flesh and blood.
* Depending on how the arc is played out, the Lich King could be Finn's abusive biological father and the "castle" he is sealed in is a prison or rehab center.
** Perhaps the cold association is due to abuse by exposure, forcing Finn to sleep outside in winter, perhaps? His face being torn off could have been as a result of a confrontation with Billy (explained above) causing him dental and facial damage. His body surfing into a snail could imply that he slipped into a coma as a result of his fight with Finn, apparently dead to Finn, but in reality he still poses a threat.
*** Perhaps most worrying is Bubblegum's age change...perhaps a sexual assault at the hands of lich caused her to mentally regress.
[[WMG: Finn is the sole survivor of the apocalyptic war.]]
Think about it, Finn is the only human on the show and he has no parents, if the Land of Ooo is the aftermath of a apocalyptic war on earth then some how his parents gave birth to him on the last days of the war and Finn some how was able to survive due to Jake taking him in.
* Pretty sure [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Marceline]] is supposed to be a survivor.
[[WMG:Jake is female.]]
In one episode, he refers to his and Finn's bond as "a mother-daughter thing." Finn gave Jake that name, because his name in his own language is difficult for a normal human to pronounce. However, part of the culture barrier led to him getting a name of the wrong gender. He also believes Finn to be human (hence mother-''daughter''), because in the initial conversation, he said something that amounted to, "I'm the same gender as you are."
** Then why is [[GenderFlip Cake]] a girl?
*** Very tomboyish male cat.
**** ...Don't you mean an effeminate male cat?
[[WMG: Jake is bisexual.]]
Tiffany was Jake's former boyfriend, which he thought would make both Lady Rainicorn and Finn jealous. Also, his crush on Billy.
[[WMG: Jake was once owned by Marceline the Vampire Queen.]]
Or they were in a similar relationship to Finn/Jake. In her introductory episode Evicted! the way she says "No one...makes me...let go...of JAKE!" sounds like she knows him from the past.
* That seems more of just a joke. [[DontExplaintheJoke Saying "No one makes me let go of Jake!" like it is some crucial, strict rule she has always been living by, despite just meeting him.]]
[[WMG: Finn is Princess Bubblegum's younger brother]]
Its more likely then you think, both of them have unseen parents.
* Possibly {{Jossed}} in that Finn has been [[PrecociousCrush romancing]] Bubblegum somewhat more as of late, and CartoonNetwork would probably draw the line at BrotherSisterIncest.
* And she's begun to suspect that he is her missing brother lately and so has become much less snugly.
[[WMG: Finn is NOT a human (or at least not completely).]]
It would explain a lot about him.
* His hat could be any number of things:
** something the species requires him to wear
** something that covers horns, antennae, etc.
** simply part of his head
*** He's shown with the "hat" as a baby, and it still fits his head well, so that's a pull towards this theory.
* His noodly limbs. Sure, other characters have them, but most other characters in the series are not human.
* The theme song DOES explicitly state that he's a human, but it's arguable.
** That bit may just be there to cover up if he really is something other than human.
** It may be there just to fit in with the tune.
** It may also mean "human" in the sense of "bipedal creature descended from apes with opposable thumbs and both sentience and sapience", rather than a specimen of Homo sapiens sapiens. There's probably several dozen distinct species that are referred to as "human".
[[WMG: Finn was born mutated.]]
Finn's parents were rejected from the Land of Ooo for being humans and sent to the [[ILoveNuclearPower nuclear wasteland]] seen in the opening of the show. When Finn was born, they snuck out of the wasteland to the forest and left him there so he wouldn't be exposed to the radiation any longer... but it was [[YouAreTooLate too late.]] Due to being the child of someone who dwellled in radiation for years upon years, he was born with weird horns and noodly limbs.
* The 'weird horns' bit, at least, is {{Jossed}}; "To Cut A Woman's Hair" has him [[spoiler:finally take his hat off to [[TheReveal reveal]]...a head of [[HairOfGold glorious]] [[RapunzelHair rapunzel]] [[CompressedHair hair]]]]. And noodly limbs aren't [[PlanetOfHats exactly]] [[RubberHoseLimbs uncommon]] in Ooo.
[[WMG: Finn is missing an eye.]]
In [[http://i.cartoonnetwork.com/v5cache/CARTOON/site/Images/i3/at_wallpaper2_1680x1050_2.jpg this]] closeup in "The Enchiridion!" when Finn enters the Final Boss's 'Mind Zone', Finn seems to have MismatchedEyes, one blue and one green. This was probably just a stylistic decision, but in the next episode, Finn has a glass eye collection while Jake has an eyepatch collection. Maybe Finn decided eyepatches weren't cool (for the record, they totally are) and gave his collection to Jake when he switched over to glass eyes. Also, in various episodes, Finn appears to have at least one glass eye in his backpack.
[[WMG: Finn's Parents were attacked by Rainicorns]]
* Taking that further, Rainicorns are the reason why humans are all but extinct
[[WMG: Finn is TheChosenOne]]
What he's chosen for I'm not clear but it's been said over and over that he is 'the greatest hero in all of Ooo', something he hasn't completely lived up to just yet. So perhaps the people saying this can see something that we aren't yet aware of.
[[WMG: Susan Strong is Finn's mother.]]
It's hardly a wild guess. They're both blonde, and the only (maybe) humans to show up in the show. A large hole in this theory would be that Susan has never seen sunlight, while Finn somehow got to the surface to be found by Jake's parents...
* Not neccesarily a plot hole- even if Susan ''was'' his mother, his father wasn't living amongst the FishPeople...
* Another possibility is that Susan is Finn's sister. When the humans were dying out, their parents placed one child on the surface and the other in a subterranean safehole.
** Or they were both placed underground, but the adventurous Finn managed to wander out of there somehow, and then he was stumbled upon by Jake's Parents
* Susan got her name by saying "suh...sun!" while talking to Finn. She wasn't saying "sun," she was saying "son!" She knows Finn is her son and was trying to communicate as much.
* I've been sitting on this theory myself for a while now... I think that the monsters at the other end of the underground cavern (the ones that disguise themselves as pool toys) might have got past the barriers along the river and attacked the FishPeople when Finn was a baby. He somehow got knocked into the river in the chaos, and floated downstream. Susan might have thought that the monsters got him, and assume he was dead. (or she might have seen him drifting away and chased him for as long as possible, but was too afraid to leave the underground area when the river went above ground). Finn floated downstream, until he reached the ocean, when he was thrown around, and eventually smashed onto the shore (giving rise to his fear of the ocean). He then crawled as fast as possible into the nearby forest, where he was found by Jake's parents, who took him in and raised him.
After all, the only other place where we've seen hats like Finn's are with the FishPeople.
[[WMG: In the series finale, Finn will either be exploring a new land, [[DownerEnding die]], or [[TrappedInAnotherWorld forever teleported to another dimension]].]]
Then Princess Bubblegum will create a statue in memory of Finn, a hero and the last human.
* Alternatively, Finn finds a time machine and decides to go back in time to live the rest of his life with humans before they all die out.
[[WMG: Finn grows up to be [[Series/ParksAndRecreation Andy Dwyer]].]]
[[WMG: Finn will be alone in the Series Finale.]]
* [[spoiler:So far, it's Jossed by Finn/Princess Bubblegum]]
[[WMG: [[BreakTheCutie Finn will be spiritually broken by the the Lich King]]]]
* And as time passes, [[JadeColoredGlasses he will become more disillusioned]], [[TheEeyore refuse to go on adventures]], [[AgentScully ignore all of the fantastical creatures around him]], [[NietzscheWannabe and maybe even give up on life as a whole]].
** And along with his "breaking", the world around him fades as his innocence fades away as he ages into a teenager (he seems about 11 or 12-ish right now) and Ooo (which was just a figment of his overactive imagination) will slowly disappear.
*** Now that you mention that, it could be possible that Ooo never existed and Finn made it up because he was going insane (being the last human on Earth does get pretty lonely.)
* Maybe Lich King will do that so he can ENTER OUR WORLD. Think about it: if Finn's imagination controls Ooo, then either A. This is the most hardcore case of make-believe ever or B. Finn is sealed somewhere in a government lab in order to make sure all the awful shit that happened in Ooo doesn't effect our universe. Finn is the one keeping the Mushroom War to happen to us. And if the world of Ooo fades away with him, OURS WILL AS WELL.
..It would make for a really depressing finale, if you think about it.
