Trip Man

"Hi, maggots."~ Trip Man introducing himself to his enemies in Terror from the 5th Dimension.
Kaiht'Izhart'P'tach, better known as Trip Man was an extremely powerful reality warping being. He was feared throughout the realms as a fun-loving destroyer & a harbinger of chaos. He served as a minor yet important antagonist in the Terrachaoverse series.
Tier: At least 4-B in his avatars; 2-C with the Hexacontakis; 2-A at full power
== Appearance ==
Trip Man appears as a humanoid being with multicolored skin, which is see-through around his facial region. He also wears rainbow sunglasses. He is not made of flesh like most people, but is rather composed of cosmic energy & dark matter.
His true form is embodied as a mass of flashing rainbow clouds with a pair of ungodly glowing eyes. The patterns on his form are rapidly changing & are visually akin to acid trips. When he takes damage, what looks like TV static consumes his environment. This is the quantum foam of reality being exposed, as it's showing slivers of the bridge between his dimension & ours. He can encase his cloudy mass into a rainbow skin, which is how he can manifest in a 3-dimensional universe.
== History ==
=== Colorful Cosmic Chaos ===
Kaiht'Izhart'P'tach came into existence around 420 billion years ago on a planet composed of 26 Zs, & is a native inhabitant of the Fifth Dimension, an unusually deceiving realm that can be found outside of the mainstream universe. There, reality is unstable, & Kaiht spent most of his early life learning how to harness the power of reality warping so that he can unleash it onto other universes. He was very successful in doing so, travelling from one dimension to the next, bringing chaos & disorder with him every step of the way. This is how he got his nickname, as said by all who have suffered his discorded rampage have labeled him as Trip Man. His reputation garnered the attention of a resident of his world named Pandamonium. Despite Pandamonium's more megalomaniacal behavior, the two got along well.
At some point in time, Trip Man took possession of the Hexacontakis & used it to create the High Contrast Dimension & the Edge Detection Dimension for experimentation's sake. It would be passed on to an extradimensional entity named Giga Litch sometime afterward.
=== A Threat to the World & Beyond ===
On May 28th, 2017, Trip Man had his sights set on the Terrachaoverse, starting with planet Earth. This caught the attention of the Venusian wizard Vendu, who came to Earth to conjoin the forces of Lord Ferronidas & Lord Claudius Ko'Al to help him, assembling a meeting at the Ledda Residence in Maryland. Vendu knew that Trip Man coming to this world would be a disaster, so he enlisted the two lords to help him find the Pentalock, a magical item which can imprison Trip Man in the Fifth Dimension as long as it can be locked with a special key. It took a little while, but the lords successfully found the items they needed, & Trip Man would show up just in time, announcing his presence loud & proud. The battle had begun as soon as he flung the Pentalock into the air with his telekinesis. Vendu used a disorientation spell which caused Trip Man to dance to a bass boosted Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas opening theme, & Claudius would try to use the Pentalock to trap Trip Man. But the Agent of Chaos would quickly notice his body being sucked in like a vaccum & performed his Shockwave of Applause attack to prevent his capture, remarking it as a "nice try". Claudius would then summon his monstrous pet, Aquabomination to bite his foot, which caused Trip Man great pain. He punched the sea creature in the face & continued the battle, sending the monster to the depths. Vendu, Ferronidas, & Claudius combined their powers to create the Psycho-Lightning-Solar Beam & defeated Trip Man, reducing his body into a flat remnant of what he once was. Assuming it was over, the lords boasted in victory, but Vendu stood silent & still with his lip quivering ever so slightly. He knew it wasn't over.
Trip Man's body began to re-materialize & he stood up once more. Realizing he's tougher than expected, Ferronidas got an idea; get the help of the Almighty Tallest. He went inside the house to find Dan & informed him of the situation. Dan then sensed an ungodly power level, which prompted Ferronidas to look out the window. What he saw was not the sky; it was Trip Man, who unleashed his cosmic reality warping powers into the sky to reveal his true form, laughing like a true maniac. The two went outside without a second thought. Dan felt the shockwaves of the black holes Trip Man was creating, causing all the contents of the Solar System to gravitate towards Earth to create a cosmic implosion. Using his Space Ring, Dan unleashed a Quantum Roar onto Trip Man, disrupting his concentration by scrambling his atoms & undoing his spatial distortions. Trip Man was writhing in pain as Claudius would use his telekinesis to retrieve the Pentalock, opening it & locking Trip Man inside thanks to an off-screen Meme Man sucking him in. The extradimensional entity was finally defeated.
Because of his actions, any memory of Trip Man shared by Earth's people would have to be erased so that no one could figure out what happened that day. Satellite data was also erased since it showed the many spatial distortions & the Mind Stone was used to replace the Humans' memories with a perfectly normal day instead of the events of Trip Man's onslaught. Both actions were executed courtesy of the Irken Empire.
=== Breaking the Multiverse Open ===
Trip Man was blocked from other realms by the Pentalock ever since his defeat, but on June 10th, 2021, he was ironically freed by the Almighty Tallest. Not only that, but he was freed along with Pandamonium. As the two chaotic fiends surveyed the area, they saw that they were released into Dan's bedroom, & realizing that they were in the Terrachaoverse, they eagerly planned to have their revenge on this universe for their humiliating defeats. And to make matters worse, Pandamonium added that the rest of the Multiverse would be in their path of destruction when that's over. The two shared an evil laugh, but were cut off by their old enemy, Dan. During a brief chat they had, Dan exposed the two for not being 5th dimensional beings at all; they were only 4-dimensional, & the Fifth Dimension was just the name of a place that they came from. It was all a facade to scare everyone. Shocked by his realization, Pandamonium saw that Dan had the Infinity Gauntlet on, which was how he found this out in the first place. Trip Man threatened to seize the Infinity Stones, which prompted Dan to start their battle. Their clash caused reality to fall apart, especially thanks to Pandamonium causing chaos in the background amidst the fight. After a long-lasting beam clash between Trip Man's lazer vision & Dan's Power Stone, the latter absorbed the attack & prevented Trip Man from ever being able to use it again. Trip Man then had to resort to physical means to hurt the Kaiser, but he was eventually outmatched. After taking enough damage, Trip Man was exhausted, & Dan finished off both him & Pandamonium by snapping his gauntlet-clad fingers, effectively erasing them from existence. This is the end of Trip Man's story.
== Personality ==
Trip Man is described by Vendu as someone who doesn't know what he's doing, "yet he proceeds with no caution or care whatsoever." Although he doesn't think of himself as evil, his actions definitely prove otherwise, & he behaves noticeably more malicious in his second appearance. Trip Man may be a destroyer by nature, but he really just wants to have fun, even if people's lives are endangered in the process. The only problem is that he can't always find the right crowd who would enjoy his chaotic behavior. He is also deceptive, as he tricked many into believing that he was a higher dimensional being than he actually is, & this false persona made him establish his own pecking order when comparing himself to others. He also likes dank memes so much to the point where they distract him when trying to accomplish his goals.
== Powers & Abilities ==
=== Physical Abilities ===
Cosmic Strength: Trip Man is ridiculously strong, though he doesn't always use his physical strength for combat. He knocked out Aquabomination in one punch & could fight Vendu, Claudius, Ferronidas, & Dan all at once. According to Vendu, his weaker form alone could destroy entire galaxies "if he really wanted to", & his true form is far stronger. At his full power, he was even able to combat the Almighty Tallest while he had the Infinity Gauntlet on. While the Multiverse is no longer infinite, he would've been strong enough to destroy it even if it was.
Cosmic Speed: Because he exists in a higher dimension, Trip Man can move up to infinite speeds, but in his weaker form, he could move anywhere from massively hypersonic to ludicrous speeds.
Invulnerability: Trip Man is hard to injure, though his physical form has inconsistent durability, as he can be harmed by far weaker beings. As for why this is the case, not even Trip Man himself knows why. It's possible that his durability fluctuates as a side effect of his unstable reality warping. He recovered from getting his foot bitten by Aquabomination & regenerated from a combined assault of Vendu's Psycho Bullet, Ferronidas' Holy Lightning, & Claudius' Solar Beam. He was even able to last in a fight against an Infinity Gauntlet wielding Dan, taking an amped up Atomic Breath to the face, as well as several punches from the gauntlet. However, it should be noted that Dan wasn't actively using all the stones during their fight; he mainly used the Power Stone. 
Immortality: As a higher dimensional being, Trip Man is immortal in that he can live forever & can reincarnate himself in other forms via time loop.
Regeneration: Trip Man is capable of repairing his physical avatar if it's damaged. This was evident when he healed himself from an onslaught of power wrought upon by Vendu, Claudius, & Ferronidas, as well as recover from damage taken during his fight with Dan.
Interstellar & Interdimensional Flight: Trip Man can fly across the universe & even through dimensions.
Heightened Senses: Trip Man can identify which universe he is in just by smelling it, as he is somehow able to differentiate the molecules of one realm from another.
=== Special Powers ===
Higher Dimensional Physiology: Trip Man is a 4-dimensional being, which means that he is not restrained by time like 3-dimensional beings are. However, this does not mean that he exists outside of linear time, only that he can move & perceive things at a much more advanced level than lesser dimensioned beings.
* Chronokinesis: Trip Man can manipulate time, though he has never been shown on-screen doing so.
Cosmic Energy Manipulation: Trip Man is made of cosmic energy & can distribute it from his body.
* Trembling Technicolor Beams: He can fire rainbow-colored lazer beams from his eyes, which were powerful enough to last against a beam from the Power Stone. These beams, if colliding with an equal force, can cause reality itself to tremble.
Spatial Manipulation: Trip Man can create spatial distortions, warping the environment around him to make perversions of nature that he considers art.
* Teleportation: As a higher dimensional being, Trip Man can instantly travel to wherever he wants.
** Dimensional Travel: Trip Man can travel from the Fifth Dimension to the Terrachaoverse. It's possible that he could also travel to other realms in the Multiverse, but if he's restricted by the Pentalock, he cannot roam freely since his avatars would be magically blocked.
* Gravity Manipulation: He can alter where the gravity of an object is being placed, as shown when he moved the Pentalock away from Claudius, preventing him from moving & running after it. It took Vendu's spell to break his concentration & allow Claudius to run again.
* Black Hole Creation: He can create black holes, sucking in all light & matter nearby into oblivion. He once unleashed three at once in an attempt to gravitate the Solar System's contents towards Earth, which would've resulted in the whole system imploding on itself.
Reality Warping: Trip Man is not from our universe & does not always abide by our natural laws. He has several different ways of warping reality.
*Color Manipulation: Trip Man is literally a very colorful character. He can even alter the patterns on his body to change colors, or alter the color of his surroundings, usually in a psychedelic array of rainbows. This is why Vendu describes seeing him is comparable to tripping out on LSD.
*Avatar Creation: Kaiht'Izhart'P'tach created a physical avatar of himself called Trip Man so that he could interact inside the Terrachaoverse. However, he can activate his true form via astral projection.
*Shockwave of Applause: By clapping his hands together, Trip Man can nullify a person or object's powers to an extent. This was how he was initially able to prevent the Pentalock from working on him the first time.
*Transmutation: Trip Man can turn objects into different objects. An example of this is when he turned Dan's iguana toy into a baseball bat that was strong enough to hurt him.
== Weaknesses ==
Being the fun-lover that he is, Trip Man's prone to letting others join the battle, particularly on the opposing team. This, along with him succumbing to Vendu's disorientation spell, cost him the fight & led him to his defeat. He doesn't fight to win, he fights to have fun, even when people's lives are at stake. But he's not an idiot, he's just differently sane.
Trip Man has poor balance in his humanoid form because he's not used to having legs. Also, the Pentalock was specifically created with him & other beings like him in mind, so he is not immune to its magic.
== Trivia ==
* His voice is based off of Mr. Popo from Dragon Ball Z: Abridged, even directly quoting some of his dialogue. To add on to the Dragon Ball references, his theme song is that of Super Buu.
* If it weren't for the efforts of Vendu, Claudius, Ferronidas, & Dan, Trip Man would've spread chaos across all of planet Earth, making him the closest villain at the time to have revealed the secret of the Terrachaoverse.
* His true form is similar to some of the entities from the Cthulhu Mythos.
* Despite existing before the humans' invention of the calendar, Trip Man has a birthday listed as it would've corresponded with what date it would've been if a calendar did exist during his birth.
