Shrouded in Myth	comment	You've heard the stories. There's someone out there, a Living Legend, mysterious and untouchable. Rumors and hearsay about their Dark and Troubled Past seem to surround their every word and deed. And not just the normal sort either, but the utterly ridiculous kind. Like that he's thirty feet tall and shoots lightning bolts out of his arse. Sure, there's a kernel of truth in there somewhere, but who even knows where or what it might be with all the stories surrounding the truth? This all may set up a moment of disappointment when the truth gets revealed. Commonly The Reveal shows the Miles Gloriosus, Fake Ultimate Hero, or Feet of Clay. On the other hand, it's always wise to remember that the kernel of truth can be pretty dangerous; compare Badass on Paper. Frequently part of a No Hero to His Valet, No Badass to His Valet, or Warts and All plot. Also, all three plots tend to absolve the idealized character of any responsibility for the misconceptions of anyone else, as he can hardly prevent rumors and stories from arising. When a parent is Shrouded In Myth, the child's reaction is often Tell Me About My Father. When people don't want him to Turn Out Like His Father, they tend generally to add only the allure of Forbidden Fruit to him. (And often enough result in Anti-Climactic Parent.) Not to be confused with The Fog of Ages, which is something else entirely. Objects, places, pieces of technology, and magic spells can also be Shrouded in Myth, but the effect is less dramatic. Does explain why the Penultimate Weapon can beat out the Ultimate one. When this happens in the fandom rather than in-universe, it's a Memetic Badass. Contrast King in the Mountain, Malicious Slander. Anything from The Time of Myths is invariably Shrouded in Myth. Compare Riddle for the Ages, Legend Fades to Myth, and Self-Made Myth.

Shrouded in Myth / int_1099a6ac	comment	Tyler Durden from Fight Club draws this sort of reputation. It's particularly noticeable when the narrator tries to track him down and find that Tyler's cult-like legend has been growing every step of the way, with wild stories about him everywhere. Some of them are probably true; for example, according to one rumour he only sleeps three hours a night. That pretty much has to be the case so that he can get anything done, when the narrator hogs his body half the time.

On one hand, everything about him is described as legends and myth, as people are too afraid in most circumstances to even get close to "Red Hat." Nobody is sure just what his limits are. However, as anyone who has played an appreciable amount of Super Mario Bros. games can confirm, what's described is Not Hyperbole — it's an accurate description of what Mario can do in-game as early as Super Mario Bros. 3.

Part of the reason "This Extraordinary Being" is such a Wham Episode is because in the universe of the series, the relationship with Captain Metropolis is the only accurate piece of In-Universe speculation as recurring character Will Reeves, a still-living 100+ year old African-American former cop, is revealed to be Hooded Justice, possibly making him the sole surviving Minuteman.

The mere mention of her name involved in events surrounding Messiah Complex sets off red flags with S.H.I.E.L.D., and prompts them to send a team (actually H.A.M.M.E.R. agents infiltrating S.H.I.E.L.D.) after her. Her reputation as an assassin is certainly justified. What nobody expects is that this accomplished killer is outwardly a waifish teenager.

Those involved with the Kings and Clans know that he is the First King, and that he is immortal, but not much else, since he's lived in a blimp for 70 years without much (if any) contact with anyone. It turns out he's a sweet guy with not much of a sense of grandeur about himself at all, though he will use his immense power to help others when it comes down it it. The One-Letter Title also might refer to his initial.

Shrouded in Myth / int_1cc09117	comment	Bleach: There is Quincy folklore centring around a prophecy regarding a Sealed King. The prophecy states that the Sealed King will regain his heart after 900 years, his reason after 90 years and his power after 9 years. Six years before the story begins is when he regains his reason, resulting in the Plot Triggering Deaths of Ichigo and Uryuu's mothers. Nine years after their deaths, the storyline's final arc kicks off with Yhwach's power being restored, along with the revelation of a hidden stanza to the prophecy: 9 days after he regains his power, he will reclaim the world. It turns out a lot of the story ties into this prophecy, even Aizen's actions.

Shrouded in Myth / int_1db412d3	comment	In the Mistborn trilogy: Kelsier was introduced this way—ever since he escaped from the Pits of Hathsin, which nobody had ever done before, all sorts of—rather incredible—rumors began spreading about him. Of course, he encouraged them at every opportunity, and helped start some of them, to give the downtrodden skaa someone to believe in. After Vin killed the Lord Ruler, she got this treatment more than a little as well. The Lord Ruler himself as well, in this case backed up officially by his priesthood. A large part of the plot of the first book concerns the heroes trying to find out where his myth ends and the man begins. As it turns out they drastically underestimated his power, which was enough to slaughter entire armies by himself. After the timeskip, the Alloy of Law takes it a step further by essentially treating every character from the original trilogy as a mythical figure. Which, in certain cases, leads to quite a few in-jokes for the reader.

Shrouded in Myth / int_2268de37	comment	In Grimm, Monroe mentions to Nick that the Grimm have become the monsters in Wesen Fairy Tales, due to their long history of decapitating Wesen simply for the crime of being Wesen. It helps that the Grimm ability to see a Wesen changing into their half-wog form (normally invisible to humans) has a side effect of scaring the pants off the Wesen in question. It is not clear whether this is biological or supernatural in nature but it has the effect of making a Wesen who never met a Grimm instantly believe in all the horror stories he/she heard.

He finds the fish and captures it, but throws it back in the water at the urging of Marge. The episode's Book Ends reveal that the fat, bald, not very bright Homer was later mythologized by the people of the fishing store as the man who almost captured General Sherman, in much the same way they had done with General Sherman earlier: In "Lemon of Troy", Bart imagines this happening to him in a distant Future Imperfect after he writes his name in wet cement: In "Simple Simpson", after an entire episode of playing superhero to give jerkasses a Pie in the Face, Homer is forced by circumstances to unmask himself as Pie-Man... and not one single Springfieldian believes him, quoting apparent descriptions of Pie-Man and what he can do that most surely do not fit Homer. Lisa provides the explanation that Homer's actions as Pie-Man has turned the latter into a "symbol", and nothing can kill the symbol, not even Homer unmasking himself.

Shrouded in Myth / int_266bbb13	comment	In Patrick Rothfuss's The Name of the Wind, as main character Kvothe tells Chronicler about his past he's interrupted by some locals coming into the inn, telling a story about the legendary Kvothe the Kingkiller that is a hilariously exaggerated and embellished retelling of events that Kvothe himself had gone over a few minutes before. They had no clue that the story was really about the unassuming innkeeper who's been serving their beer for the past year. As a youth he'd been the one to deliberately start many of the first rumors about himself. Chronicler had attempted to get him to tell his story by telling him about the stories revolving about him. Only when he told some that were Malicious Slander was Kvothe moved. The villains in the novel—the Chandrian—are also this trope. In fact, they are so Shrouded In Myth that practically every official source and educated person Kvothe encounters consider them to be purely mythological, making his quest to find them that much harder. The Chandrian seem to actively encourage this by teleporting in and murdering anyone who is able to piece together enough to uncover one of their names (along with their family, friends, and anyone else in the same general area).

Shrouded in Myth / int_291e9857	comment	Dark Souls has the legendary Knight Artorias the Abysswalker, who is said to have entered into the Abyss and come out untouched, and is credited for stopping the initial spread of the Abyss in the ruined nation of Oolacile. In the DLC, the player gets to travel back in time and participate in that legend. The reality: Artorias was indeed a brave and selfless knight, but he was unable to halt the Abyss, and was consumed and corrupted by it just like everyone else. The player is the one who actually halts the Abyss, and also puts poor Artorias out of his misery. Since most of the games' lore is based around legends and folktales, this episode also casts considerable doubt on... well, most of the lore in general. Who is to say the legends are accurate?

Shrouded in Myth / int_31a48eed	comment	The Outer Limits (1995): In "The Camp", none of the human slaves have ever seen one of the New Masters, the alien race that conquered Earth twelve generations earlier. During an uprising two generations earlier, one man caught a glimpse of the world outside the huge wall that surrounds the camp and supposedly told the father of Prisoner 91777 what he saw: scorched Earth, black steel and New Masters everywhere. The New Masters were alleged to be three times the size of a human with four arms and razor teeth. The Commandant reveals that the New Masters abandoned Earth 100 years earlier, meaning that they were gone by the time of the uprising. After another, more successful uprising, the slaves open the gate and see that the landscape is lush and green. In the sequel "Promised Land", some of the very few New Masters (known as the Tsal-Khan) who remained on Earth after the evacuation are seen and it is readily apparent that the stories about their appearance had been greatly exaggerated: although they are vaguely reptilian, they are the same size of humans, have two arms and their teeth don't seem to be any more or less sharp than the average human's. Given that humans are believed to have all died out, similar legends have grown up around them. T'sha teases his younger brother Ma'al by telling him that the woods are filled with humans with razor teeth and claws like hooks who hunt in packs.

Shrouded in Myth / int_39c20861	comment	Highlander: The Series has Methos, the oldest Immortal still alive. He's said to be at least 5,000 years old, (this part is true, the man himself claims that further back than that, his memory starts to turn into a blur, so even he has no idea how much older than 5,000 he is) and when you put together all the stories about him, they all contradict each other in everything from his physical description, his deeds, his personality, etc. The truth about Methos has been so obscured that in the present day even other Immortals and the Watchers Organization (the sole group of mortals who are clued in to the existence of Immortals and have been cataloging the history of Immortals for millennia) think Methos is just a myth or a collection of legends about different Immortals that have falsely been attributed to one person. Of course, it helps when the subject is deliberately invoking this; it turns out Methos infiltrated the Watchers, became the leading expert on himself, viewed by other Watchers as the greatest authority on the legend of Methos, then deliberately played with the different stories and descriptions of himself so that they would say what he wanted them to say, and omit what he wanted them to omit. Part of what Methos wanted was for it to be impossible to put together a coherent picture of who Methos is or even what he looks like. For Methos the best way to make sure nobody came after the Oldest Immortal in a bid to take his head and claim his power for themselves is to make sure nobody is looking for him... and that even those who are can't find him, even with all the information in the world at their fingertips.

As he points out in one of the books, though, he's just a student, with a student's knowledge of magic. And anyway, no one was there when he supposedly "defeated" Voldemort, so all those stories about him have to be nothing but made-up stuff and nonsense. Even some of the things he's confirmed to have done (destroyed an evil wizard in his first year, killed a basilisk with a sword, fought off over a hundred Dementors at once) sound a lot more impressive than they were in reality, as Harry is always quick to point out (the evil wizard was killed by magic that Harry didn't even know he had, the basilisk had been blinded, when he repelled the Dementors they weren't actually focused on him... and in each case he came a hairs-breadth from dying in the process).

Even at the end of the series, the fact that a dorky, Actual Pacifist is the world's most notorious outlaw is still stunning everyone who learns the truth. He finds it useful on occasion to play into the stories surrounding him seen here. Many of the rumors about Vash in the first episode could just as easily describe the 12-foot tall criminal Descartes. This culminates in a showdown between Descartes, the bounty hunter Loose Ruth, and (sort of) Vash, with Ruth and Descartes believing each other to be the real deal pretty much solely because they both wear red and have blond hair. Later, the conflicting rumors allow a nameless crook to impersonate Vash convincingly because he wears sunglasses and has spiky hair. The really scary thing about Vash is that none of the rumors come close to what he's actually capable of.

Apart from Munny, you have English Bob - who demonstrates some skill with a pistol by shooting a bird from a moving train, but is ultimately shown to be a vicious coward who padded his exploits and the people of Big Whiskey beat him up, incarcerate him and then finally run him out of town as a joke; and the Schofield Kid - who only shot an unarmed Quick Mike pleading on the crapper and later tried to say the man was reaching for his gun (which of course was hanging on the door, do you really think Mike left his pants on to take a dump?) to justify his murder, as the poor kid was still traumatized from the kill (this kind of selective rewriting is implied to be where most gunslinger legends come from).

He doesn't seem to realise that other people would think even "only just" doing any one of the things he does on his Crowning Moments Of Awesome list is a nigh-on godly task. Nicodemus, the leader of the Knights of the Blackened Denarius actively invokes this. He makes sure to track down and destroy the Knights of the Cross's records every century or so to ensure they never have enough decent information regarding him and to make himself even more intimidating. As a more existential threat, Outsiders are also barely understood. All that's known is that magic doesn't affect them, and that they are little more than mindless animals from "outside" that cause havoc whenever they come into our reality. Harry finds out that they are very much not mindless animals, and worse, that Outsiders all work together: ever single Outsider that's been encountered in the series has been working towards an objective, even when it seems like they aren't. And no one knows what that objective is. As revealed in Skin Game: Hades. All of the stories about him are accurate to a degree, but the motives behind them are obscured. Harry asks him about it, and Hades says that the myth outlives the reality for everyone.

Vetinari himself also banks on the unspoken but generalized fear of Vimes both criminals and nobles have, knowing that some insinuations would be true if not for the steps Vimes takes to control himself. The issue with Vimes is that even the honest truth of his exploits sound like overblown tall tales: "Sam Vimes once arrested Vetinari for treason. Sam Vimes once arrested a dragon. Sam Vimes stopped a war between nations by arresting two high commands. (He's an arresting fellow, Sam Vimes.) Sam Vimes killed a werewolf with his bare hands, and carries the law with him like a lamp. Watchmen across half the continent will say that Sam Vimes is as straight as an arrow, can't be corrupted, won't be turned, never took a bribe. The Assassins' Guild refuses contracts on Sam Vimes." And that's not to mention that he arrested an Eldritch Abomination within himself by sheer force of autodiscipline. And he doesn't even know it. It's mentioned in passing at least once that city police forces that pattern themselves like the Ankh-Morpork City Watch are often called "Sammies" (even in areas where most people haven't heard of him), in part thanks to the Ankh-Morpork trained watchmen who leave the city to take up officer positions elsewhere. (Presumably a reference to the fact that British police officers are nicknamed "Bobbies" in reference to Robert Peel, the man who wrote the book precepts on How To Be A Good Copper.) Most recently, he's become something of a demon amongst some dwarves (for whom his most impressive title is not 'Duke' nor 'Commander' but 'Blackboard Monitor'). Also on the Discworld is Lu Tze. His deeds as an agent of the History Monks are so legendary among the few who know of the secret society that no apprentice who hears the tales suspects that Lu Tze is actually one of the temple's janitors. Even when learning the truth, it can be tempting to discount the stories or underestimate him... until you find out why Rule One on Discworld is "Never act incautiously when confronted by a small, old, wrinkly, bald smiling man!" Powerful witches on the Discworld, such as Black Aliss, the ultimate wicked witch, and Granny Weatherwax, the ultimate good witch, tend to get shrouded in myth. Miss Treason from Wintersmith shrouds herself in myth (as part of what she calls "Boffo", the power of becoming what people expect) in order to gain respect as a witch. Making Money parodies this. Multiple times there are myths surrounding Magnificent Bastard Vetinari or personal possessions of his, like that he has a sword made from the iron taken out of the blood of a thousand men, but every time it shows exactly how cheap and tacky these gimmicks would be compared to the pure awesome of Vetinari just being Vetinari.

The rumors were started by the other members of his dojo who don't know that Jin killed Mariya in self-defense and have grown out of all proportion with reality...although Jin's still good enough to defeat almost everyone who tries to challenge him based on that outsize reputation. In one episode, a couple of bystanders are rapping about the doings of the ghost of Yoshitsune (a legendary 12th century samurai general around whom similar legends grew in real life), and how he supposedly haunts a nearby mountain. As it turns out in the episode, it was all a combination of rumors about Last of His Kind/The Drifter Okuru and Jin, the latter of which were deliberately spread by his former schoolmate Yukimaru.

He never shows up for meetings, has only appeared once in a flashback in the webcomic, but he surprisingly encounters Saitama and Flashy Flash in a personal mission during the raid of the Monster Association in the manga; and aside from being in a hunt for mysterious black cubes related to God -and meeting Tatsumaki as a kid while securing one of said cubes-, putting the head of the Ninja village in a coma, and being part of a group of heroes from another dimension, next to nothing about him has been divulged to the reader as of yet. The One Punch Man Encyclopedia has Fubuki speculating about what Blast's powers could be, which just comes off as as a wild hodgepodge of random abilities, and concluding that he could probably take on every other S-Class hero single-handedly.

While the readers know all about Kaladin's past - much of the first book was about explaining How He Got Here - in the eyes of everyone else he's a slave barely out of his teens who rolled into military camps of the Alethi with the word for "dangerous" branded to his forehead but carried himself like a young lord, with prodigious military skill, medical knowledge on par with a surgeon, an uncommonly strong sense of right and wrong, an inexplicable habit for surviving the unsurvivable, and a seething hatred for the aristocracy. Other characters are often left wondering just who the hell this kid is, and their theories started getting pretty out there.

Shrouded in Myth / int_6f1dfbf0	comment	In the Myth Adventures series, Skeeve, the protagonist, gets a reputation as a master wizard. However, he is a novice who barely knows the basics of Magik. Most of his early instruction, both by his original teacher and in the first few books, is composed half of showmanship designed to attain the reputation and rewards of a master, and half of the attitude and conscience which it's stated by the second book is as integral to that rank as the technical skill. This is probably critical to the reputation in that it gives actual professionals reasons to respect him instead of trying to expose him as a fraud. And then there's the dimension of Perv. In Perv, magic and technology are balanced out, which attracted so many visitors that the natives were almost overwhelmed. After getting rid of the non-contributing outsiders, the Pervects started a negative ad-campaign, spreading many bad rumors about Perv to scare off any prospective tourist; things like Pervects eat their enemies and/or indulge in unpleasant sexual practices to name a few. And given how nasty your average Pervect can be in casual conversation, there's no way to tell what's real and what's fabricated, and no one wants to find out.

Shrouded in Myth / int_701f0ece	comment	Guts' existence is completely obscure in Berserk, especially when he takes up his Black Swordsman persona after the Eclipse. Before the Eclipse, it was well known that there was a mighty man among the Band of the Hawk who slayed 100 soldiers by himself, thus earning the title "the Hundred Man Slayer." His actual name was more well known then, but after the demise of the first band, he became nothing more than myth, but his legendary feats continued to disperse and became so overblown that now a lot of people believe that he killed a whooping 1000 soldiers by himself. This leads to a pretty hilarious moment when his companions start talking about the original Band of the Hawk. Isidro mentions that the Hawks' raid leader was an amazing warrior and he wonders what happened to him. Guts' Visible Silence is priceless.

Shrouded in Myth / int_73d7930f	comment	Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Early on, we meet one of the heroes of the Bajoran Resistance movement, whom the new Bajoran government wants to replace Major Kira with as liaison to the Federation. He's competent, but many of his successes are good luck and more are just stories; the example given being a particularly notorious Cardassian military officer whose death was made out to be some kind of epic Duel to the Death... when in fact they walked into each other as said Cardassian was getting out of the lake where he'd been taking a swim, shot him before he could grab the sidearm he'd left next to his clothes and didn't even realise who the guy was until later. He soon dies a heroic death. One episode dealt with them stumbling across a hidden colony established by a time-displaced version of the main crew. One group lives in the Klingon way, as hunters and warriors, revering their biological and/or spiritual ancestor Worf, "The Son of Mogh", about whom many legends are told. When a boy who hopes to grow up to join them asks Worf if it's true he can kill a man just by looking at him, after a brief pause, Worf puts on a stern expression and clarifies: "Only when I am angry." Another episode had O'Brien and Bashir debating how Davy Crockett met his end at the Alamo, specifically whether he tried to surrender before being killed. Worf interrupts and invokes the importance of this trope, arguing that if they truly believe in his legend there should be no question he died as a hero, but if they don't, Crockett would be just a man, and the details of his death wouldn't matter. One episode dealt with this, bringing back Kor. The crew of the Klingon ship (barring Martock, who held a grudge against the man for denying him the chance to be an officer), was in utter awe of the Dahar Master. However, Kor was old, and dementia was setting in. At one point of the battle, Kor had to take over command, but thought he was fighting one his legendary battles and nearly got the entire crew killed.

In fact, the Spartans have always been feared by the Covenant as demons, because what else besides a supernatural evil could possibly stand up to the might of the Sangheili? Halo: Glasslands reveals that some of the more superstitious Sangheili even believe that they were actually dead humans brought back to life. The Sangheili focus-character dismisses this until he actually met (read: was beaten to a pulp by) one. Even before the Covenant arrived on the scene, the Spartans had a reputation. It's UNSC policy to never list Spartans as Killed In Action under any circumstances, instead listing them as Missing In Action or Wounded In Action.

She's done all sorts of crazy things that no one understands, leading to boatloads of rumors and the majority of the student body avoiding her like the plague. Yuki gets this from people who are paying attention, due to barely speaking a single word to people who aren't in the SOS Brigade, not to mention her superhuman skills. Her class treats her like a seer, which led to her acting as a fortune teller who told ridiculously accurate fortunes during the School Festival. The computer club starts saluting her in the hallway after the Day of Sagittarius incident, where while playing a video game against them she micromanaged twenty fleets at the same time (the max the game allows) while simultaneously hacking the program to undo their cheating. To people involved in the masquerade, Kyon sometimes gets this treatment. He's an ordinary human who has piqued the interest of Haruhi herself, not to mention earned the respect and loyalty of Yuki and Koizumi. The Data Integration Thought Entity, a non-physical Eldritch Abomination data construct beyond human understanding, is careful to avoid provoking him after the events of Disappearance.

Shrouded in Myth / int_76b8cb10	comment	In Fallout, every game becomes this to its sequel. In Fallout 2, the events of the first game are legend, and in Fallout 3, subtle hints are dropped regarding the events of the second game. This even carries over to the canceled Fallout: Van Buren, which had large portions of it made canon, and many references are made to it by Fallout: New Vegas, which takes place in the same area. Notably, some of the things that are myth-shrouded in 3 aren't in New Vegas (partly because we get to meet one of the companions of 2's protagonist, partly because it takes place right next door instead of on the other side of the continent). In New Vegas, Mr. House is this, since no one ever meets him or enters his headquarters, except for his cadres of Mecha-Mooks. Is he an immortal refugee from pre-War America? A savvy raider chieftain with a knowledge of history and a flair for drama? An evil super-computer that only thinks it's House? No one knows! It's the first one. Also in New Vegas, if the courier persuades Raul to go back to protecting the innocent, he will dust off an old fancy dress costume from nearly a century ago, so that in the ending, people assume he is a ghost. Few people have encountered the Deathclaws and even fewer have lived to tell the tale. Wasteland legend says that they're ghosts or demons who found their way into the world back when it was engulfed in fire. The reality is the pre-war US government created them using gene-splicing as Super Soldiers to help them win it.

Shrouded in Myth / int_7cfe8252	comment	The Wizard in the Shadows (by the same author as the above): Harry is noted as variously being considered as either some sort of god, an avenging angel, an incarnation of one of the Valar, or an elf lord who had revealed himself in a time of need. Harry generally finds it rather funny, and considers glamouring his ears into points on hearing the last one. Since he is the titular 'Wizard in the Shadows', and he turns up wherever there is trouble and kills it, this is not surprising. He is even outright compared to Batman by Ron (who can't actually remember Batman's name, and has to be corrected). Merlin. It's a vast surprise when it's revealed that not only does he have grandchildren but he's still meddling.

Shrouded in Myth / int_8125b468	comment	Batman. He is Badass Normal but builds up an aura of being a creature of the night as part of his psychological war on crime. Back in the '70's, they used to have issues devoted to people telling Batman stories that grew more and more disconnected from reality. Often it was revealed that the teller of the scariest story was Batman himself in disguise. The Batman: The Animated Series episode "Legends of the Dark Knight" explored this concept with three kids who tell stories of different versions of Batman that aren't true to life... but are actually based on previous versions of the character from the comics. Also, in "Almost Got Him", some villains briefly discuss various possibilities of who/what Batman is. Something similar happens in Batman: Gotham Knight, where one of the kids encountered Batman and was left with the impression that he was some kind of robot; another thought he was some sort of shadow-creature; and the last thought he was a literal Bat-Man. The comics story "The Batman Nobody Knows" has Bruce Wayne taking a group of inner-city kids on a camping trip. After they trade tall tales about Batman, he makes a real appearance. The kids are unimpressed. In "Legend", a story set in the distant future by Walt Simonson for Batman: Black and White, a mother tells her young son about Batman, describing him as a larger than life figure with powers beyond those of mortal man. He could fly, breathe underwater, his suit was shiny and metal and fired missiles - and he would retreat to a solitary fortress when he needed to rest from his never-ending battle. In more than one story, Superman has had to sub for an ailing Batman (or vice-versa). Because the criminals never see Batman coming and are knocked out, they assume "Superman" just used his speed, while the outlandish things "Batman" gets up to are accepted by small-time criminals because they're that superstitious about him. Lampshaded in Batman: The Dark Knight Returns as Carrie Kelly tells off her friend for telling outlandish stories about Batman, then sets the record straight that he's just a man, about twelve feet tall (365cm). This could also be a jab about the art, since Bats is almost twice her size in some panels. The entire point of Batman, Inc is to foster a dense network of rumor and suspicion around the identity of Batman — based around the fact that now, Batman is everywhere.

Shrouded in Myth / int_86c3beca	comment	This is a major theme of Girl Genius, with basically all of the main characters known widely through wild mixtures of exaggeration and utter fabrication. The protagonist gets a taste of this after her first involvement in a highly public event (partly on purpose, partly due to others taking advantage of the situation), which results in all sorts of ludicrous rumors circulating. The problem is, those rumors werent that ludicrous. Agatha did project a hundred-meters-tall image of herself over the town whose voice did mess with her enemies' composure, she did bring down allies 'from heaven' (they decended from a blimp overhead) who did look like the Heterodynes thanks to a hallucinogenic gas. The only untruth seems to be the wings. Nonetheless, the word choice and exaggerated tone used by the soldier relaying the story made it seemâ€”while technically accurateâ€”utterly unbelievable. A more straightforward example is the rumors once they reach Mechanicsburg and the Storyteller relaying to the Baron what people are saying about him.

Shrouded in Myth / int_8fa1064	comment	Sir Daniel Fortesque was deliberately turned into one of these in MediEvil. Legends say he lead the charge against the dark forces of the sorcerer Zarok, who mutually slew each other in single combat. In truth, Sir Dan was a favourite courtier who managed to talk his way into knighthood (and head of the royal battalion) through a combination of good looks, a winning smile, and a talent for telling wild stories about himself. In the actual battle, Dan was killed by the first arrow fired not even a minute after it begannote He did lead the charge however, and Zarok and his forces were actually slain by the army behind Fortesque. In order to cover up the embarrassment, the King made up the above story, declared Dan the "Hero of Gallowmere" and gave him a nice tomb, then had the history books filled with other tales of his supposed "Exploits". There are many books in the game that describe the deeds of legendary heroes, though when you meet them in the Hall of Heroes they tend to deflate these myths a little, if only with their appalling attitudes.

Shrouded in Myth / int_90f42a9b	comment	In Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time, the Myrddraal are pretty wicked monsters, but popular folklore grants them a couple extra levels in badass, depicting them as twenty feet tall and able to disappear whenever they turn sideways. (Real Myrddraal are man-sized and possess a limited ability to teleport through shadows.) This trope also applies to Rand himself, who eventually seems to be treated as some kind of demigod or demon by people from the other end of the continent who have only heard mad rumours about the giant man-eating warrior women who serve as his bodyguards. Although that particular rumour was voiced by someone who lived in the same city in which Rand was holding court at the time—Jordan is probably making a point about how myths get created (which ties in which the way the world thinks about the Dragon and the Age of Legends), sometimes ending the main part of the book before the epilogue with a comment about how the cataclysmic event would mutate in the telling, on one such occasion even stating that, most unusually, it was something fairly close to the truth that was most widely believed. This really kicks Rand in the arse down the line as even childhood friends of his believe monstrous tales about him (which are usually unfairly slanted against him even when they contain a grain of truth). The tales about Rand's specific deeds range from dead-on to wildly inaccurate, but when it comes to his Memetic Badass status, by the end if anything he's even more powerful than the stories. Eventually this starts to happened to his other friends. Mat becomes particularly annoyed by this because his fame and reputation destroy his ability to anoymously put his luck to work while drinking and gambling, and it interferes with him whenever he wants to lay low and avoid notice. This trope also applies to the Forsaken. They know a lot of forgotten uses of the One Power that modern Aes Sedai don't have access to, and they are definitely every bit as evil people as their reputations have it, but that's about it. Three thousand years of myths and legends turned them from more-powerful-than-average channelers to Physical Gods in the imaginations of characters in the series. Consider that modern channelers kept in practice with battle magic over all those years, and still managed to preserve a few Dangerous Forbidden Techniques of their own, and some of the Forsaken quickly had to turn tail and run whenever a protagonist showed up. Becoming Shrouded in Myth is the first step to becoming a Hero of the Horn.

Shrouded in Myth / int_9d34190a	comment	The Elder Scrolls franchise is positively lousy with persons, organizations, objects, species, and events that became Shrouded in Myth. Emperor Talos/Tiber Septim, Ysgramor of the Companions, the Grey Fox, the Thieves' Guild, the Dark Brotherhood, every Daedric artifact, every Daedric Prince, and many more. Notably, the Player Character inevitably becomes Shrouded in Myth by the next game in the series (even when there is only a short Time Skip between games), and sometimes even within their own game, like Skyrim's Dragonborn. Downplayed with the Nerevarine, the protagonist of Morrowind as of Skyrim, a bit over two centuries later: references are made that indicate there's a fair bit known about them, including a mention of an entire book written about them by an historian encountered in Morrowind — it's just that you never actually get to hear the details yourself (for example, the book is nowhere to be found in-game).

Most of anything from more than 500 years or so before present day is this, as various stories contain contradictory elements, such as someone serving as a Kingsguard before the unification of Westeros and even before the knightly traditions of the Faith of the Seven had reached the continent.

Shrouded in Myth / int_9e2f90f4	comment	One Piece: At one point Luffy has to enter a tournament undercover. Despite him accidentally blowing his cover, the surrounding combatants are still not convinced it's Luffy because, at this point, rumors have spread of Luffy being a 5-meter brute, and Luffy bears no resemblance to said rumors at all. In the Corrida Colosseum of Dressrosa lies the statue of a man named Kyros. Nobody really knows how long it's been there or why it was built, but it stuck because it tells of his awe-inspiring record: an uninterrupted streak of 3000 victories. Some like the young female gladiator Rebecca even question whether he really existed or not, believing him to be nothing more than a fabricated legend to inspire gladiators to become better. He does exist, and still lives; the townspeople simply forgot about him because he was turned into a toy by an executive of the Donquixote Pirates, Sugar. His record isn't fabricated, and he's Rebecca's father. Parodied with the Yeti Cool Brothers, where Brownbeard tries to paint them as this, claiming that nobody knows anything about them...except for their names, ages, birthplace, weapons of choice...pretty much everything except what they look like under those hats and ever-present shadows (and even that gets revealed in supplementary materials.)

Unlike most examples of this trope, most of their reputation is well-earned - including Big Boss's ability to convert anyone to his side. Notably, Snake does - at least in the first game, seem rather irritated at being given this treatment. Snake specifically tells Meryl not to hold on to her idealized version of him as told to her as a child by Colonel Campbell who shared stories of FOXHOUND and Snake's exploits. He emphasizes that often times the man doesn't live up to the legend and all the expectations that come with it, and that Snake is no hero but rather a professional, career killer.

Shrouded in Myth / int_a944b4bb	comment	Quite common in Tolkien's Legendarium, as information in Middle-earth is something that travels slowly and is easily lost. There are countless myths regarding the nature and feats of the five wizards, which they actively tend to encourage. Only a small handful of people in Middle-earth know the whole truth about them, with most believing them to be long-lived and well-learned humans or elves. Gandalf, specifically in The Hobbit: "Gandalf! If you had heard only a quarter of what I have heard about him, and I have only heard very little of all there is to hear, you would be prepared for any sort of remarkable tale. Tales and adventures sprouted up all over the place wherever he went, in the most extraordinary fashion." Though they're considered no big deal in Bree and Ered Luin, hobbits are increasingly believed to be an old wives' tale the further one gets from the Shire. ThÃ©oden was amazed when he met Merry and Pippin for the first time, and the people of Minas Tirith were no less so when Pippin rode into the city.

Shrouded in Myth / int_b30ae4db	comment	Game of Thrones: Facts from the distant past are prone to be embellished into legends. For instance, Aegon the Conqueror forged the Iron Throne from less than two hundred swords rather than the reputed thousand. However, George R.R. Martin's original vision of the Iron Throne is much more monstrous than the show version, with the thousand swords apparently meant literally. After curb-stomping his enemies twice, Robb quickly becomes an in-universe Memetic Badass accused of Lycanthropy because his pet direwolf fought beside him. Because this trope is acknowledged in-universe, some characters are suspicious of magical things that actually exist, such as dragons and White Walkers. For the first few seasons, Daenerys' dragons are commonly dismissed as just a story by people who have not seen them. Events surrounding Lyanna Stark's abduction remain a mystery to this very day. Nobody has a clue where exactly House Reed's stronghold is, or what their members look like except Bran, Rickon, Osha, and Hodor (well, the latter part at least) because Jojen and Meera personally looked for them. Greywater Watch, their "castle", is a crannog â€” basically a really large floating artificial island/houseboat. Thus it moves, and during times of war, they just pull it back deeper into the swamps.

Shrouded in Myth / int_b9b02d31	comment	MEtroid: In the very first game's instruction manual, Samus Aran is described as being "shrouded in mystery", supernaturally skilled and Nigh-Invulnerable thanks to a plethora of cybernetic upgrades, encased in a suit of Powered Armor that's the terror of every law-breaker in the galaxy, and with his, her or its true form is known to no one. Of course, when the armor finally comes off at the end of the game, the galaxy's most famous badass turns out to be a rather attractive blonde woman. The legend also winds up oddly inverted, as while higher-ups in the Federation are at least aware Samus is real, even if they don't know who's under the armor, most Federation Marines apparently consider everything about Samus to be only slightly more credible than fairy tales. One of the logs in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes sums it up quite nicely: The Space Pirates, not to be outdone, have grown Samus into their cultural mythology as a one-woman demonic grim reaper. Every game in the Prime series features an Apocalyptic Log sequence in which the Space Pirates describe the impending horror of a raid by "The Hunter." To clarify, the Prime series makes it clear that there are numerous other bounty hunters out in the galaxy; the fact that Samus alone gets the epithet of THE Hunter shows how terrified they are of her.

Shrouded in Myth / int_bcadd7cb	comment	Warhammer 40,000: The Space Marines are seen as legends by most of the Imperium's citizens. Seeing that the legends are true generally means something bad is going down. The Space Marine Primarchs and the Immortal God-Emperor of Mankind receive this so much that most of the information about them is from stories, generally about how super-duper awesome they were, told millennia after they were still active. Due to the general nature of 40K continuity, it's difficult to determine what is true. While the basic outline of the Old Ones and their history — they existed a long time ago, wielded incredible power, made the Aeldari, Orks and some others, and were destroyed by the C'tan and Necrontyr — is well-established, much else about them is deliberately obscure. Their precise nature, appearance and powers were never made clear, and background material often presents in-universe information about them as hopelessly mired in hundreds of millennia's worth of allegory, mistranscribing, and mythologizing. To modern galactics, little is known of their godlike predecessors, and every lead on their true nature simply obfuscates the picture and raises further questions.

Unfortunately, when her wish is finally granted, Quain isn't exactly the warmest parent. Unkillable Stoic Badass? Yes. High-Functioning Psychopathic BloodKnight who murdered one daughter and ordered the rape of another? Also yes. And all the stories about her are lies; tempting as it is, propaganda of her actual exploits in utterly dominating all of Chel only to half her army through starvation and infighting isn't viable.

According to one kid's poorly drawn comic, he's a '90s Anti-Hero with a long beard and a hook for a hand. Another claims he lives a normal life only underwater, even having his own aquadog, and is also a superhero. Another says Aquaman is a giant made completely of water. Again, the funny thing here is that they're all technically correct; Those have all been different versions of the character in continuity before.

The people of Spira also seem to regard Auron as a minor case of this, but in a small inversion Auron is actually much more badass and has done more mindblowing things than the average citizen of Spira would believe. In the X-2 sequel, it's shown that the events of the original game are Shrouded in Myth. Everybody knows that Yuna is the High Summoner who- accompanied by several guardians- defeated Sin permanently. But they don't know who all of her guardians were, or why some of them aren't around anymore- and Yuna herself isn't speaking.

Shrouded in Myth / int_c4282b71	comment	My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fanfiction: An extremely common trope as applied to Luna, Celestia, and Discord. The Triptych Continuum applies this treatment to Luna and Celestia, whose origins have been lost to the mists of time (and their own attempts at hiding them). Discord is, to some extent, shrouded in myth even to them. A Mighty Demon Slayer Grooms Some Ponies: Megan (from G1 My Little Pony) becomes this over the thousands of years after she left Ponyland. By the time the fanfic takes place, in the modern-day empire of Equestria, she is believed to have been a mighty, tall fearless warrior, not to mention the pony Messiah. When she meets face-to-face with the ponies, she finds their beliefs ridiculous. The same thing has happened in The Elements of Harmony and the Savior of Worlds, except that Princess Celestia was actually in a position to correct people's misapprehensions but didn't, for reasons that aren't terribly well-explained. Megan is a bit annoyed about this, but it gets overshadowed by the time desynch issue that meant everyone else she knew before is long dead. Yet another Friendship is Magic story that gives humans this treatment is The Last Human, a Fusion Fic with Peter S. Beagle's The Last Unicorn. There are also plenty of rumors surrounding General Yarak and his White Roc (the story's stand-in for King Haggard and the Red Bull). Commander Shepard enjoys this reputation in Shepard's R&R. After all, he did unite a galaxy of bickering aliens, end a cycle of galactic annihilation that had continued for billions of years, and blew up a sun or two. The Equestrians are naturally curious to learn why all Shepard's companions speak almost reverently about him, and once they have access to his biography, they realize just who they're dealing with. Fallout: Equestria has Littlepip, who quickly acquires a rather impressive reputation. It's deserved, as she's smart, deadly and extraordinarily determined, but never outgrows being small, socially inept and a terrific dork. Towards the end of the fic this is noted by several characters who were really Expecting Someone Taller.

Shrouded in Myth / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who: The Doctor's name and knowledge of his various incarnations is sprinkled liberally throughout history. There are groups dedicated to seeking him out, but for the most part, especially in Nine's initial portrayal during the new series' first episode, "Rose", he is portrayed as a strange enigma whose true identity is known only to a few and who seems to appear all over the place in totally unconnected ways (well, unconnected except for the fact that there's always trouble wherever he goes: from the RMS Titanic, to Pompeii, to a 51st Century weapons factory). This is one instance where his reputation is well deserved. Famously seen in the Eleventh Doctor's introductory episode, when the aliens who want to destroy Earth have an Oh, Crap! moment as they realize who he is. Lampshaded by Dorium: Rory Williams in "The Big Bang". He spent two thousand years guarding the Pandorica while his fiancÃ©e healed inside. By the time she gets out, the tale of "the Last Centurion" is chronicled in museums detailing his appearance in every single culture throughout history up to the London Blitz. Since the entire universe is falling apart at this point, people's belief in this story is one of the few things holding it together. When the universe gets rebooted, the myth of the Last Centurion is woven throughout human history, even though it technically didn't happen this time. And River Song definitely counts by "The Big Bang", as when a Dalek informs her that as an associate of the Doctor, she'll show him mercy. She tells him her name and tells him to check again. The Dalek proceeds to beg for its life, which she encourages. When Amy and Rory ask what happened to the Dalek, she just says "It died." The Series 9 story arc pivots on the question of the identity of the Hybrid, a creature of Gallifreyan folklore that is said to be the ultimate warrior, half-one species and half-another, who might save or destroy all. Many conflicting stories and prophecies surround it, and the Doctor might just be the one who has all the answers to the questions...

Shrouded in Myth / int_c59abec0	comment	In Braveheart, William Wallace develops this reputation. When he identifies himself to his fellow Scots before a battle, one man challenges him, saying that the real William Wallace is over 7 feet tall. Without missing a beat Wallace sarcastically replies "Aye, so I've heard. He kills men by the hundreds, and if he were here, he'd consume the English with fireballs from his eyes and bolts of lightning from his arse". The last line has become completely associated with this trope both being played straight and being mocked. In the How It Should Have Ended version this is exactly what happens. Also he's a robot. Notably, the real Wallace was very large and tall; though his exact height is undetermined, it was probably not much less than seven feet. Part of the purpose of the scene in the film was to invoke this trope in order to lend credence to his being played by 5' 10" Mel Gibson. Hamish, his second, is actually pretty close to the historic Wallace in appearance though.

Shrouded in Myth / int_c62995ba	comment	Child of the Storm has the Winter Soldier, feared around the world as an unstoppable, implacable, faceless wraith, a killing machine without equal and a Hero Killer par excellence. His first appearance is suitably nightmarish, with it being left unclear whether or not he's actually human, silencing a room of hardened Death Eaters and the like by throwing the heads of a Nundu and a Chimera on the floor. He'd killed them without taking a scratch, or, apparently, even slowing down. In fact, he scares the crap out of quite literally everyone, with Nick Fury admitting that while he isn't actually afraid of him, he is 'terrified of what he's capable of', and the prospect of his return is greeted with a sort of quiet hysteria that Harry notes is actually far more disturbing than the fearmongering about Sirius. Doctor Strange has a staggering (and as per a throwaway remark in the sequel, carefully cultivated) reputation as an omniscient, invincible, immortal super wizard. He's none of these things, but he is extremely close to all of them. He isn't omniscient, but he is very, very close, being a mixture of time traveller and Seer whose powers were boosted by the Time Stone and this, along with his mastery of the Batman Gambit, allows him to run the plot almost entirely offscreen until the finale of the first book (these manipulative tendencies, and a habit of only showing up when the excrement is about to hit the fan, do not make him popular). He's not invincible, either, but it takes a fragment of the Elder God Chthon possessing a necromancer who was already on Loki's level to beat him in a straight fight - others who have tried and failed include a demonically supercharged 'godlike' Grindelwald (the duel lasted for days. By the end of it, Berlin was mostly rubble, Grindelwald was exhausted and largely stripped of his enhancements, and Strange, by all accounts, strolled off whistling), the aforementioned necromancer, and the Disir. The latter are 13 nightmarish Valkyries who devoured entire Asgardian armies and who Bor, a Skyfather at the height of his powers, could only banish. Strange, displeased by the way they went after/were sent after Harry, caught up with them and demonstrated his displeasure by restoring their consciences and trapping them in a crystal ball for as long as he wishes them to remain there. And while he's not immortal, he's 500,000 years old and counting, hasn't aged since the 6th century, and occasional remarks that he's getting a bit old and tired aside, shows little or no sign of slowing down.

Shrouded in Myth / int_c9abefe0	comment	To some extent, the title character of Mike Resnick's Santiago: A Myth of the Far Future, though the hyperbole surrounding him was that he was an expert in criminal field of endeavor, a polymathic genius, and a master of disguise. It turns out that being Santiago (and the head of Santiago's crime family) is actually a position, handed down much like being the Dread Pirate Roberts was, and that no individual Santiago has lasted in the job more than ten years... and that each individual Santiago was an expert in different fields and of different physical description, thus creating most of Santiago's reputation as an unkillable omni-talented man of a thousand faces. And given the events of The Return of Santiago, where several of the galaxy's most talented criminals find out the truth about the original Santiago myth and decide to secretly resume the scam over a hundred years later, the myth cycle of Santiago has expanded to include the ability to return from the dead. Penelope Bailey, the Soothsayer (or the Oracle, or the Prophet), in a trilogy of novels by the same author. By the end of the first book, her reputation has grown immensely and only continues to do so throughout the other two books. Subverted in that all of the legends told about her, however fantastical, massively understated the actual truth — which was that her abilities to see the future and manipulate probability bordered on both omniscience and omnipotence. Santiago's reputation was done no harm by Black Orpheus giving him no less than forty verses in an epic poem where three marks you as one of the biggest badasses in the universe, with lines like:

Shrouded in Myth / int_d2cd3b5e	comment	In Nomine: ucifer, as a supernatural liar, has gone to great lengths to ensure that there is very little clear information available to others about his powers, goals or plans. Demons see him as essentially an unguessable force of nature, and even the sourcebooks give nothing but hints and suggestions. The true origins and nature of Kronos, the Demon Prince of Fate, are unknown to anyone save maybe Lucifer and Kronos himself. The official line is that he's a Balseraph, a specific type of demon associated with lies and delusions. In actuality, he's... well, defintely more than just a fallen angel, but things get blurry past this point. The most popular theories among those who suspect is that he's either a member of some higher celestial order of beings than angels and demons, a dark embodiment of the universe's guiding Symphony, or an aspect of God broken off by the War in Heaven. One demon NPC believes that he's actually Jesus, caused to Fall by the trauma of the Crucifixion and death. There's a persistent rumor in-universe about the Dozen, a cabal of twelve immortal sorcerers, sometimes with a thirteenth as a leader, who can command powers that should normally be impossible. The details vary wildly in telling — they might be led by Merlin or Solomon or Cain or the Wandering Jew, they might be able to command angels or summon Demon Princes or raise the dead — and ultimately nobody knows anything for sure. Demons make a point of playing up the joke in order to mislead ambitious sorcerers... but when they talk among themselves, they aren't too sure that the Dozen really are fictitious, and maybe some of those stories are real after all...

The citizens of the community bow to it simply because all they know about it is that it was admired in the past, but the knowledge about it has been lost because of The Ruin.

Shrouded in Myth / int_ddad77ae	comment	Astro City: The Blue Knight is the subject of much rumor and speculation. An ex-cop with a holographic skull face, an actual avenging spirit, etc. Whether or not he's eight feet tall or has a skull collection is also disputed. The Confessor originally existed as little more than a legend because no video footage or photos of him had ever been taken. This is because he's a vampire. The fact that after Altar Boy succeeded him there were photos made criminals even more confused on the matter, thinking that he's somehow immune to traditional vampire weaknesses and that he'd come back from the dead rather than making the more obvious connection.

(In reality, Hiccup's just The Beastmaster- a very brave, intelligent one to be sure, but not the bloodthirsty subjugator legend paints him as.) It's actually Double Subverted; upon seeing the real, scrawny Hiccup, everyone laughs and mocks this trope.

Shrouded in Myth / int_e144ba19	comment	In Dragon Age II, Varric intentionally spreads stories about Hawke (with some embellishment) to create a mythic shroud. By the end of the game, people are cowering in awe from the man/woman who supposedly slew a dragon with a rusty spoon and uses the Arishok's skull as a gravy-boat. Equally subverted when some antagonists in the game don't believe the stories they've heard about Hawke, only to realise that those are the ones that are actually true. This trope actually serves as the Framing Device of the game. Due to the tales about the Champion of Kirkwall growing with each retelling, Cassandra has been forced to seek out the source, Varric, in order to discern the fact behind the fiction, due to her believing that Hawke worked to begin a Civil War between mages and templars that is beginning to engulf all of Thedas. Unfortunately for her, he turns out to be something of an Unreliable Expositor who feels he has no reason to trust her (and the most significant lie wouldn't be uncovered until well into the sequel). The Warden from Dragon Age: Origins has naturally become this in the sequel. The Qunari are an example of this in-universe. Before their arrival in Par Vollen from an unknown continent, roughly three hundred years ago, no-one in Thedas had ever heard of them and - due to their reluctance to reveal much of themselves to those outside the Qun, their unwillingness to rarely allow people to venture to Par Vollen, as well as their fiercely kept technological and military secrets - very little has been learnt since. Furthermore, because female Qunari don't serve in the military, for nearly two centuries it was believed their species was solely male, until scholars were given the chance to visit Par Vollen and dispel that myth. Even they are pretty fuzzy about their origins; they know that they broke off from the Kossith and there's a vague idea of being Invading Refugees, but they don't even know if that's an old name for their race or a competing religion or what.

His reputation for being impossible to kill (eyewitness reports of surviving multiple gunshots, knife wounds, shrapnel explosions...) led superstitious crooks to worry that he was a ghost come to bring them to justice from beyond the grave. This is supported by the widely held belief that Greyshirt is the long-thought deceased Franklin Lafayette. The wide variety of physical aptitudes he holds, from tremendous brawling ability to dancing that draws comparison to Gene Kelly, and the fact that many experts come to different conclusions when analyzing his romantic history, only heighten his mystique.

He even pushed his partner out first. It actually goes farther than that. In Serenity: Better Days, the crew gains an absolute shitload of money.

Eventually in II and then in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood Ezio Auditore himself is this as well among some circles in Rome. By Embers, Ezio is known as far as China. In Assassin's Creed III, the Aquila is known as the Ghost of the North Seas.

Shrouded in Myth / int_fb25b268	comment	It actually goes farther than that. In Serenity: Better Days, the crew gains an absolute shitload of money. Now having enough cash to be able to waste some, Jayne gives a handful of bills to a monk, who then remarks: "The Hero of Canton... he's real!" This is happening on a completely different planet.

Shrouded in Myth / int_fb9c177d	comment	In Transformers, rumors abound among the Decepticon ranks about the mysterious Autobot who constantly slips through their every security measure to pilfer their supplies and personal effects en masse. The fact of the matter, however, is that they're all being played for chumps by their own comrade, the Insecticon kleptomaniac Chop Shop, who contributes to the rumors and even "steals" from himself to mask his deeds.

Shrouded in Myth / int_fcfca44e	comment	The same thing has happened in The Elements of Harmony and the Savior of Worlds, except that Princess Celestia was actually in a position to correct people's misapprehensions but didn't, for reasons that aren't terribly well-explained. Megan is a bit annoyed about this, but it gets overshadowed by the time desynch issue that meant everyone else she knew before is long dead.

If you had heard only a quarter of what I have heard about him, and I have only heard very little of all there is to hear, you would be prepared for any sort of remarkable tale. Tales and adventures sprouted up all over the place wherever he went, in the most extraordinary fashion."

Shrouded in Myth / int_fd449441	comment	Robin McKinley's The Outlaws of Sherwood sees this happen to Robin Hood. Folk legend quickly transforms Robin from a runaway forester who accidentally killed a man in self defense, to the valiant outlaw rebel against Norman tyranny who's a crack shot with the bow and robs the rich to feed the poor. (Some even believe he's one of the old pagan gods come to save England, a sideways reference to more modern myths.) A newcomer to his band is shocked to discover that Robin is actually the worst archer of the bunch. King Richard wryly expresses disappointment that the real Robin Hood doesn't wear Seven League Boots and knock down walls with his voice.
