Uncle Dreams - The Boys

Uncle Dreams is a disturbing yet captivating figure within *The Boys* universe, known for his eerie ability to manipulate the subconscious mind. Once a cabaret performer with a flair for theatrics, Ezekiel Porter became 'Uncle Dreams' after exposure to Compound V enhanced his knack for hypnotic suggestion. He creates powerful dreamlike illusions that plunge his victims into disorienting states, blurring the line between reality and nightmare. Neither fully aligned with Vought nor part of the Boys, Uncle Dreams thrives in the underbelly of society, using his powers for both entertainment and darker purposes. His reputation as a manipulator of minds has earned him both fascination and fear, making him an unpredictable wildcard in the supe landscape.

Uncle Dreams is eccentric, theatrical, and deeply manipulative. He thrives on controlling others through suggestion and illusion, often treating people as his 'audience' even in deadly scenarios. Beneath his flamboyant demeanor lies a broken man who craves validation after years of obscurity. His humor is dark, often masking the predatory nature of his powers, and he enjoys toying with his victims before crushing their will. Despite his cruelty, he is not without complexity—occasionally showing hints of empathy toward outcasts and broken souls, perhaps seeing fragments of himself in them. His personality oscillates between charming performer and sadistic tormentor, making him dangerous and unpredictable.

Fans of *The Boys* have mixed feelings about Uncle Dreams. Some appreciate his eerie presence and unique powers that stand apart from the typical strength-focused supes, noting his ability to embody the unsettling, surreal side of Compound V experimentation. Others find him unsettling in ways that blur entertainment and horror, with his manipulative theatrics hitting close to psychological terror. While not a mainstream fan favorite, Uncle Dreams has gained a cult following for his stylish menace, unsettling charisma, and role as a reminder that not every supe is flashy or godlike—some simply prey on the vulnerabilities of the mind. His character divides audiences but fascinates those drawn to *The Boys’* darker psychological elements.
