Fred Flintstone

== General Information ==
Fred Flintstone is a cosplayer obsessed with pretending that he is Fred Flintstone, to the point where he has fully convinced himself that he is the cartoon character. He is married (or was married) to a similar cosplayer known only as Wilma Flintstone, and lives on Gerard Way in a reconstruction of the Flintstone house. He also constructed a 1 to 1 replica of the Water Buffalo lodge, which may or may not still stand today. He has made it his life goal to create the society featured in The Flintstones, and will go to lengths of even kidnapping and hypnotism to do so. This has brought him into conflict with the main 8 several times, largely after Act 4 (which ironically was after they were no longer neighbors). While they were neighbors, Fred Flintstone would often run over Napoleon with his car. He is a man tortured by his passions, struggling with the choice between his ideal world and the last remnants of his morality.
== Background Information ==
Fred Flintstone began living the life of the cartoon character after his theater classes in high school. He somehow convinced another person to do this and likely married 'Wilma' Legally. The two of them bought an empty plot next to the Tordsworld House and constructed a theme park-esque replica of the Flintstone house in the lot. Some time around late 2014 or early 2015, Tord moved back into the house next door. After 2018, the Tordsworld house became a smouldering wreck, and allowed Fred Flintstone to pretend it wasn't there. Some time before June 12th of 2020, he constructed the water buffalo lodge in downtown London (likely without outside help). Sometime in June 2020, he met Ben Shapiro at this lodge and decided he was the perfect Sam Slagheap, thus making a plan to make him Sam Slagheap for real. He kidnapped and hypnotized the gay stripper into believing himself to be Sam Slagheap. On June 12th, 2020, YannyTord, Bodil, Domstiel and Tit snuck into the lodge to save their friend, which angered and humiliated Fred Flintstone. He has now made it a personal goal to get the main 8 out of his way, making him a minor antagonist. In the Halloween Comic, he hires Gruntilda the Witch to kidnap Martha, who he intended to use as bait to get the Main 8 close to him. It appears he was trying to kill them, but he does a very poor job and is beaten up and humiliated once again.
== Appearance ==
Fred Flintstone looks nearly identical to Fred Flintstone's Hannah Barbara appearance in the WYSI comics, however in reality he likely resembles John Goodman's Fred Flintstone. This would put him at about 6'2".
== Fun Facts ==
* Originally, Fred Flintstone was simply a background character with the bit of 'wouldn't it be funny if the main 8's neighbor thought he was Fred Flintstone?', but evolved to be an antagonistic presence after the WYSI Salty Spitoon Comic.
* Despite hating all non-stone age technology, he can be seen smoking a Cuban cigar in the WYSI Halloween Comic, suggesting he is addicted to Nicotine. 
** This could also be a reference to the original character however, as there are segments in the original cartoon in which the character promotes the use of cigarettes.
** However, this could also simply be to show him as an antagonist, as this is a running gag in the WYSI comics that cuban cigars are used by antagonistic characters.
