[[WMG:The Arena Mode protagonist's later origins reflect the loop and their growing knowledge.]]
First, you unlock the Disquieted One and An Offering. The former makes it clear that the player character has been disturbed by the reveal, specifically fighting and killing to loosen the Machine's grasp on the world. Offering reflects that a) the player character was chosen by [=2BDamned=] to stop the Mandatus and b) they are in a constant loop of entering the Nowhere and returning back to when Doc recovered them, not unlike undeath. At two imprints, you unlock the Massive and the Tinkerer. The Tinkerer is based around having such intricate gun knowledge that they can mod anything onto any gun, while the Massive is stated to have gotten their size from their actions (such as eating more while others were building muscle), possibly having picked up some life hacks along the way. Finally, the third imprint unlocks the Magiturge; this is just the player character ''weaponizing'' their knowledge of reality after so many loops and learning to recognize seams between Somewhere and the Nowhere.

According to the [[TheWikiRule Madness Combat wiki]], there is a huge possibility Hoffnar will become Tricky, as "Hoffnar" means ''Jester'' or ''Clown'' in German. This would also explain how Tricky has a rivalry with Jebus.

[[WMG: By the point of the animations, Hank long since stopped being just one guy.]]
During the final stage of ''Project Nexus'', "The Rush", you're given a more detailed tour of the titular Project, mainly in its attempts to create a stable cycle of death and reincarnation. One such method showcased is the Sleepwalker cloning process, where a clone is given the life experience of a specific "template" personality provided by a buyer. Later on, you're goven a line of dialogue that implies that Hank has been dying and coming back fairly often before the gane takes place. While it may have been a standard resurrection for him thanks to Doc's tech, this likely changed with the introduction of The Retainers, entities meant to keep key [=S-3LFs=] from being retrieved by normal means, primarily Hank. As a result, Doc probably had to start using the next best thing; Sleepwalkers. He could be imprinting volunteers from his [=PMC=] With Hank's data to keep him around, but the funny consequence of this is that each death that left the Sleepwalker Hanks irrecoverable meant another Hank to retain. What we see in ''9.5'' is likely Doc's first time in a while he's been able to pull Hank back from the Other Side directly.

Then we have the most damning piece of evidence. Hank J Wimbleton himself. He somehow knows Arabic, despite Nevada apparently being the only thing Nevedeans know according to Krinkels. How can such an assumption be made? Simply check the subtitles of Madness Combat 4.

Doesn't seem all that different, right? Think again. They're both long pieces of clothes that cover the body from the neck to the legs. Like a dress, but an extremely masculine one. And if you turn the average Nevedean's clothing into something more fitting for humans, you'll most like imagine something like an extremely simplified gray thobe.

But that's not the end of it, there's more. Look at their buildings. Short and blocky all the time. Just like typical rural Arab buildings, which just have some more detail. The Bakery too, it is given a simple name, nothing more. Arabs tend to do that, but simply add their surname, for example, Al-Wimbleton Bakery.

Religious men tend to have beards in Arabia, and what does the only religious character, Jeb have? A beard. While this may not be influenced by the fact that some believe that Muslim men must grow beards, it is worthy of note.

That is the transliteration of "God is greater" in Arabic. Yet, there seems to be little knowledge of religion in Nevada. So it is most likely that Hank knows that phrase because he understands it, and "made up" the line, not knowing that it already existed many, many, many years ago.

This all fits in with the theme of Madness Combat, a violent fallen world. The Arabs' culture has broken down, becoming nothing more than a shadow of a shell of a shell. Reduced to constant fighting, now over nothing.

But wait, how exactly did Arabs get in Nevada? Most likely through immigration. In this timeline, many more Arabs got into Nevada, and eventually mixed into the culture of the Americans there.

Yes, this probably also does mean that Hank's father is named "Jmotherfucker" due to how middle names are usually decided among Arabs.

[[WMG: Apotheosis Hank is in Hell too, not just Antipathy and Consternation Hanks. He also acted as foreshadowing of Antipathy Hank being separate from Consternation Hank.]]
In the Dedmos series, Deimos eventually saw a body hit the ground and have their head partially stuck inside. Upon a closer a look, it's a plain neveadan with some bandages wrapped around their head. The only character which looks like that is Apotheosis Hank, who died blowing up a whole club, including Jebus and Tricky. When Apotheosis Hank hit the ground in front of Deimos, it was after he fought a Retainer. Deimos also recognized Apotheosis Hank, as he went to get a closer look, but something interrupted him and hurt his head, possibly a Retainer trying to get Deimos away so he can retain Apotheosis Hank. As to explain why he lacks bandages around his torso, he might have put them under his shirt this time.

As for the foreshadowing bit, it was basically showing that other Hanks do exist, thus foreshadowing that Antipathy Hank is a separate entity than the Hank after MC 6.

Torture himself has two of these same stakes lodged in his head.

It's been confirmed that Deimos is shorter than Hank and Sanford, which may imply that he's short in general, then we have the ''Deimos Adventure'' series that takes place in some kind of hell that psychologically tortures Deimos by showing Sanford dying (Anamnesis.fla) and by remembering him of his own death (Powerless.fla). But the last episode has him fight some giant {{mooks}} who might be a representation of his insecurities, one poster (either from 2BDamned or from hell itself) also says "WE ALWAYS THOUGHT you were a ''little'' on the ''small'' side" which sounds like taunting. Lastly the fact that Deimos beats up all the giant Mooks on his way with ease may be a metaphor of how he managed to overcome his insecurities. After all, being short isn't too bad when you can overpower an army of people who are twice your size.

* Judging from his behavior in the series and emails from Project Nexus, his main goal is more likely to just take over Nevada and rule it in whichever way he sees fit, most likely as a means to kill Hank however many times it takes to keep him dead - it is the Agency Against Hank Wimbleton, after all. The Improbability Drives seem like just a means to that end, as they are primarily used to upgrade his troops and facilitate other minor goals, like using flying buildings to transport personnel en masse.
