If the internet goads him enough it might be able to get him to crash out like H3 did. When these streamers take Ls if you can make them take successive Ls they get severe mental health problems from their numbers going down and it really fucks with them. They spiral very badly.

    Problem with Ratboy here is this: Where the fuck does he spiral?

    He's already living like he's the Muckman, spiraling would probably mean death

    fair.

    the mitigating factor in that case is that (i assume) he lives in suburbia so targets would be harder to come by

    the more i think about this the more likely it is, truly the final "fuck you" of his putrid existence would be to shoot some poor bystanders before he kills himself

    best I could get from searching is that it's from a series called "Foolkiller", unknown issue

    Most of the Foolkiller comics aren't that good

    Just another vigilante following on the heels of The Punisher's success

    His only real difference from Punisher is that Foolkiller also goes after political targets, which being written by the Marvel bullpen of the 80's means a lot of jabs against Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton

    Which, as we all know, means nothing and the Marvel writers are certainly not racist

    All of his streaming is a coping strategy for personal problems that made him live the way he does. It is his only outlet and he completely buries himself in it because he has nothing else.

    I doubt it would mean death, he'd just go back to anonymous guild content like he had before.
