The character who believes in almost anything, no matter how bizarre, and pursues it with abandon. Very mystic, seen as crazy, gullible and strangely usually right. The antithesis of the Agent Scully, with whom they always are paired. Somewhat Truth in Television. According to some psychologists, a person who believes in one conspiracy theory tends to believe in others; a person who does not believe in one conspiracy theory tends not to believe another. The name, of course comes from Fox Mulder in The X-Files. Depending on show preference, you might also call this an "Agent Cooper" (from Twin Peaks — this was the previous Trope Namer). Compare Break the Believer when their beliefs are unarguably proven wrong. |

Detective (or Sergeant, depending on the season) Munch from Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. He espouses conspiracy theories constantly throughout the series, usually for delivery of a moral point or for simple comic relief. Portrayed by Richard Belzer, a Real Life Conspiracy Theorist author. | |

Forum of Thrones: Archmaester Wulvren is a firm believer in magic, dedicating his entire life to explore this topic, even if he has no proof of its existence. He is the first person to outright believe in Noelle's magic, even more than Marak and unlike the latter, he is portrayed to be a very smart man. Simon Stokeworth has always been fascinated by House Targaryen and their dragons, which makes him one of the first people to fully understand that Aegon Targaryen intends to invade Westeros. He knows how dangerous dragons can be and fully believes that they give Aegon all he needs to succeed. |

Kate Lockley from Angel has an Agent Mulder attitude towards the paranormal world that Angel lives in, due to several personal experiences with the supernatural. Such as being attacked by a vampire. At one point, one of her fellow police officers compares her to Agent Scully, prompting Kate to try to explain why Mulder would be a better comparison. (This other officer knew little about The X-Files; he mentioned Scully because all he knew was that "Scully's the chick.") | |

On Haven, Audrey plays Agent Mulder to Nathan's Agent Scully in season one, despite her being the outsider and him being the local. Subverted in the fact that Nathan is aware the Troubles exist, but he's in deep denial about them. He himself is Troubled, but convinces himself it's a medical condition. He'd much prefer to live in a rational world, while Audrey is Allergic to Routine and seeks out the unusual. | |

An interesting twist in Psych, where Scully is Shawn, who pretends to be psychic, while Mulder is Gus, the "Non-Psychic" one. It might be a better parallel to say that Lassiter is Scully and most of the rest of the police department is Mulder-ish or at least becoming so (with respect to Shawn, at least, because it's hard to argue with his record). |

The Question in Justice League Unlimited. The guy believes that aglets have a sinister purpose, and that topically applied fluoride renders teeth visible by spy satellite. On the other hand, he's proven to be a highly talented detective, either in spite of his paranoia or even perhaps because of it- Batman even admits that the Question is a better detective than he is because of the Question's willingness to consider irrational possibilities. (And he did nail it with his theory about Baskin Robbins' secret, hidden Flavor 32.) | |

Maniwa from Paranoia Agent is the "Mulder" to his partner Ikari's "Scully", an open-minded, experimental detective who readily believes and accepts the true nature of the mysterious Shonen Bat while others deny it. Of course, this eventually turns him into an insane homeless person who thinks he's a superhero. The real Mulder never had to put up with that. | |

Luna Lovegood of Harry Potter baffles her peers with her wacky theories and beliefs, on everything from mythical creatures with unlikely names (example: Crumple-Horned Snorkack) to conspiracy theories involving combinations of dark magic and gum disease. Her quirky faith in people and creatures stood her in good stead through the series and she was shown to have uncanny insight. Her father, the editor of the wizarding tabloid, "The Quibbler", is a strong influence on her and he is much, much stranger. It's also sometimes hard to tell why the other characters react with such disbelief towards her beliefs considering the magical fantasy setting they live in. While some come across as obviously far-fetched, others, like the belief in unknown magical creatures or abilities, are perfectly in line with a reality where the characters are regularly exposed to various magical things they've never heard of before. Interestingly, this does serve her well during her adult life, when her open-minded nature leads her to a career as a magizoologist and she discovers several previously unknown magical beings. She does finally admit that the Crumple-Horned Snorkack isn't real, though. |

Early on in Horse Girl, Sarah googles reasons for her missing memories. Two options come up: it could be carbon monoxide poisoning, or alien abduction. Sarah immediately dismisses the first option for no real reason, and seizes upon the more fantastic second option, and over the course of the movie becomes more and more wild-eyed in her acceptance of any fantastical theory. | |

Dale Gribble of King of the Hill is a conspiracy theorist and generally a survivalist nutcase. He uses his alias Rusty Shackleford for everything, even ordering pizza. He is so devoted to conspiracy that figuring out the flaws in the "second shooter" theory of the Kennedy assassination turned his entire life around, turning him into a pro-government "good citizen" until Hank, against his better judgment, convinced him that not every conspiracy theory is necessarily false. Fittingly, his design was based on a combination of Robert Patrick and a composite sketch (mostly the horribly inaccurate one of the Unabomber). | |

Kashihara wrote an entire book of conspiracy theories — ranging from Mayan prophecies to Nazi experiments to aliens living beneath Japan — based entirely on the ramblings of a mentally-disturbed student.

The X-Files: Trope Namer Special Agent Fox Mulder. He always believed in the paranormal explanation of the case of the week, but he could change his perspective if Scully's scientific theory was proving to be the solution. It was occasionally subverted. The earliest example of a role reversal is the episode "Beyond the Sea", in which a convicted killer on death row claims he's a psychic and that he can help them solve a kidnapping case. Mulder is skeptical, believing the killer has orchestrated the kidnapping himself, but Scully gradually becomes convinced when he seems to be sending her messages from her recently deceased father, such as the titular song lyrics. Or in the season 7 episode "Hollywood A.D.": Whenever the Monster, Mystery or Victim of the Week was religious in nature, the "believer/skeptic" dynamic between Mulder (an agnostic/atheist) and Scully (a lapsed Catholic) would be inverted, with Mulder becoming overly skeptical and Scully becoming the believer. Most references to Mulder and Scully seem to forget this, including the 2008 movie. By the end of the series, Scully is much less of a skeptic and becomes almost Mulder's ally in the supernatural. With Mulder absent in season 8, she is the believer in the X-Files office, while Doggett is the skeptic. |

You got Yasuhiro Hagakure from Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc through and through. For one thing, his specialty is clairvoyance, predicting the future which has the same chance of happening as getting a 1 or 6 on a traditional dice in his particular case. It even happens in one version of the story if you get the bad ending; in an earlier chapter, says that he and Makoto would have the same baby mama, and if you cause Kyoko to get executed, his prediction becomes correct. He also believes in the occult, humorously afraid of ghosts and at one point needing someone to prove that one of the living characters is not a ghost. Yes, he is kinda stubborn and clueless at times. Even in the end, he considers the notion that he might die in the apocalyptic outside world because of his psychic vibes. But even after he casts aside this fear, he still fits the bill by believing in hope instead. | |

The titular Haruhi Suzumiya manages a mix of Agent Mulder and Agent Scully. While on the outside she wildly pursues all manner of fantasies, her inner common sense prevents her from realizing the fantastic elements right beside her. When Kyon tries to spell everything out to her, he gets shut down, because this would be "too easy". Itsuki later theorizes that deep down inside she just wants to have fun with friends. | |

Agent Cooper from Twin Peaks was as accepting as Mulder (maybe even more so), but he lived in a much weirder world. Possibly the weirdest world ever portrayed on television. Which meant that he was almost always right! To the extent that he conducts successful murder investigations by throwing a bucket of rocks at a glass bottle. | |

Matt Bluestone from Gargoyles is a deconstruction. His quest to prove the Illuminati existed got him kicked out of the FBI, and after he joined the police most of his colleagues view him as a crackpot despite him being a brilliant detective thanks for his obsession. It later turns out the Illuminati is real, and unlike most shadowy governments, they set about ruining his life and even had one of their members pose as an Agent Scully to provide him with false leads. When he manages to find proof despite all this, he impresses them so much that they make him a member, which pisses him off to no end. | |

Murdoch Mysteries: Constable George Crabtree is the one most likely to believe that vampires, ghosts, werewolves, Martians, Venusians, or an Egyptian curse might be responsible for the crimes that are being investigated. Detective Murdoch is the resident Agent Scully, Doctor Julia Ogden is of scientific mind as well, and Inspector Brackenreid gets angry easily by these superstitious ideas. Doctor Emily Grace, who joined the series in season 5 believes in the afterlife and that it's possible to scientifically prove it. She also thinks that ghosts exist and she and Crabtree try to gain evidence. |

MonsterVerse TV series Monarch: Legacy of Monsters: The younger Bill Randa in the 1950s believed in cryptids, dragons which produced ionizing radiation as they flew (which he was right about, but bear in mind this was before he joined Monarch), and finally, he believed that Godzilla had managed to walk around unseen by humanity for centuries via teleportation. Somewhat justified, as all of this is still happening after Bill witnessed a gigantic Flying Seafood Special sink the naval warship he was on in World War Two. The only thing Randa didn't believe in was aliens, which is ironic since the MonsterVerse version of King Ghidorah retains his traditional origins as an extraterrestrial. | |

Lost: John Locke is a good example, particularly when he believes he has to push a button every 108 minutes to save the world. Frank Lapidus was written to be an Agent Mulder, according to the DVD extras. Jack after he returned went from one of the most extreme examples of a Scully to as big a Mulder as Locke ever was. Locke's suicide note to Jack read "I wish you had believed me." Evidently Jack's guilt drove him to believe EVERYTHING as an apology. |

Red Lights: Dr. Shackleton is one of the rare examples shown completely in the wrong (although not unsympathetic): he is too driven to believe that Phony Psychic Simon Silver is the real deal, and thus does not figures out that Silver is faking psychic powers even after extensive testing (for what is worth, Silver is doing it incredibly well - pretending to be blind helps a lot - and the Agent Scully protagonist almost drives himself crazy, and needs his girlfriend giving him an "Eureka!" Moment, to figure out how Silver did it). | |

Martin Mystery really likes crazy theories about aliens and so forth, based mostly on comic books and B-movies. However, the fact that he and his sister, Dianna work for an organization dedicated to fighting aliens and so forth makes the theories much less crazy — well, some of them. He goes through a lot of downright ludicrous explanations before he finally arrives at the one that's actually happening. | |

It's first seen when Max confides in him that she believes Kate's suicide attempt is somehow linked to Rachel Amber's disappearance and the strange happenings in Arcadia Bay. Warren replies that he isn't much for conspiracy theories, but admits that Max might be onto something (episode 2).

Mr. Crocker of The Fairly OddParents! is known for muttering insane theories to himself that climax in him doing a wild take and yelling "FAIRY GODPARENTS!" in a shrill voice at the top of his lungs. The scary part is that he's almost always right, and he still comes off as a raving loon to the viewer. The viewer may be smarter than you think: while he is usually right, only once in a blue moon (notably in the movie, when he somehow manages to activate a wish-granting muffin) does he get any evidence to support his ideas (and when he does it's promptly magically wiped out of his head), the vast majority of his fairy-chasing plans not only come to naught but result in severe punishment when he accidentally does unpleasant things to his employer, and he just keeps at it. And then there's the yelling (generally accompanied by anatomically frightening poses)... Interestingly, in one of the Time Travel Episodes, we learn that Cosmo and Wanda were his fairy godparents before they were Timmy's (they had surprisingly similar childhoods, including Vic, the babysitter) and he escaped the Mind Wipe of having them go away forever when they were revealed by writing a note to himself on the back of a device with which Timmy provided him through time travel, so he's not a crackpot after all. |

Invader Zim is rife with Agent Mulders, ranging from the Swollen Eyeball organization who look to prove that mysteries and conspiracies are true, to clueless FBI crackpots (Count Cocoa Fang the cereal mascot being a real vampire) to disturbingly on-the-ball lice hunting countesses (there's a giant Alien-like lice queen who's responsible for lice infestations). Dib tends to come across as a desperate Agent Mulder making all number of bizarre claims, but it becomes apparent in later episodes that he's actually fairly rational and even skeptical. His problem is other people's stupidity and/or apathy, plus his horrible luck in losing his proof at the worst possible moment, every single time. Dib has claimed to see Big Foot in his garage ("he was using the belt sander") and a vampire hamster, and we never did find out if that was a baby sasquatch or a hairy kid — although its comment about wanting to eat grubs seems to suggest the former. So, depending on the episode, Dib tends to be either the Mulder or the Scully. | |

Conspiracy Brother in the movie Undercover Brother is one of these, though of the Dale Gribble variety: throughout the movie, he believes that he has uncovered numerous conspiracies by "The MAN," to eliminate/subjugate/neutralize/etc black people throughout the world, conspiracies that are dismissed by his coworkers and are indeed false. This is especially surprising considering the fact that there really is a shadowy white-supremacist world leader known only as "The MAN" dedicated to using a world conspiracy of powerful white people to keep down black people. The Dale Gribble part comes in regarding the crux of the movie: Not only does Conspiracy Brother miss the most legitimate conspiracy in the entire movie, putting brainwashing chemicals in fried chicken, but he actively furthers the scheme more than any of his coworkers who arrived at the truth long before he did. | |

In El Goonish Shive, Agent Wolf has shades of this. Granted he's right about certain things like his coworker being an alien but then again he has a conspiracy journal. | |

Without a Trace. Martin Fitzgerald is implied to be a mild version of this in the episode "Light Years". The Victim of the Week is a man who believes he was once abducted by aliens and Martin skillfully plays along with his loopy friends and later rattles off a lot of information regarding alien conspiracy theories, prompting the other agents to give him the side-eye and for one of the friends in question to refer to him and his partner Samantha as "the real Mulder and Scully". (A bit of Fridge Brilliance. They are FBI agents after all). It's not clear if he genuinely believes any of it or if it's just a hobby of his. | |

In Batman (1989), Alexander Knox is one of the few people who believe in Batman's existence from the start, the Dark Knight being thought of as just an Urban Legend to public at large, and his existence outright denied by the local government. | |

In Johnny and the Bomb, Kirsty has become this, talking about The Men in Black, rains of fish, and crop circles, before reluctantly admitting that maybe the rain of fish had something to do with the explosion at the pet shop, and that there is some evidence the crop circles were created by Bigmac (such as a full admission). Interestingly, this doesn't make Johnny an Agent Scully; as ever, he just accepts things that have happened. If there's a rational explanation, it was probably that, and if not, it must have been something weirder. Denying either of these things just makes things unnecessarily complicated. | |

Now You See It...: Hunter is the only person, besides Max, to initially suspect Danny is capable of genuine magic, insisting that it's possible because not everything can be explained. When he brings this suspicion up however, he's shot down as a lunatic, but Danny himself backs up Hunter's claim. | |

Heroes Save the World: LN/Palatinate had this reputation among the rest of the CIA. The truth is a little more complicated: LN/Palatinate was put together from the remains of operations whose members were genuinely seeking after the paranormal, but afterwards it became a dumping ground for agents in disgrace (or at least this was the case for Mary Rucker). | |

Pumpkin from Dollicious who is passionate about everything that makes her life "more spooky". Not only she belives in every urban legeden she hears, but she has ten extra conspiracy theories for each one to make them even more mysterious (or as she put it "spoooooky") She has entire internet show dedicated to exploring them and has her own conspiracy wall where she just look for even wirder conections between them. Even Bay Leaf who is very protective of all ancient belives and can be fanatical about them looks sane and rational by comparing. | |

Durarara!!'s Celty tends to buy into numerous paranormal and pseudo-scientific conspiracies (including The Greys. Especially The Greys), probably because her own existence suggests that they're entirely possible. There's even a chapter of the light novels devoted to her boyfriend assuring her that the world won't end in 2012, the dinosaurs weren't killed by The Greys, the photon belt will not destroy the world (nor is it sentient), and evil tesseracts will not come from the 4th dimension to conquer us all. | |

Marshall Eriksen from How I Met Your Mother believes in everything supernatural, examples include ghosts, miracles, aliens, Nessie and Sasquatch. He and his fiancée Lily once found a mutant animal they called 'cockamouse' as it was a combo of a cockroach and a mouse. Much like Agent Mulder's proofs of the paranormal, the cockamouse flew away. | |
