The Potential

Little is known about this mysterious figure known as The Potential that has appeared in several episodes of Indy Christian Review. It appears to be the one responsible for the Vale Relator message sent to the Storyteller in Season 5, and has been watching/stalking the Storyteller ever since.

"The Storyteller and his friends, shall soon meet a bitter end. The book shall close forevermore, when they say Vale Relator" .

After the Revenge of the End Times Movies, the Potential appeared to Diamanda Hagan in another universe. It told her about the Storyteller's review, warning her that she was in danger of being outdone. Outraged, Hagan commanded her minions to being scouring the multiverse in search of the Storyteller. The Potential watched the resulting co-review between the two, and while it was pleased at the conflict, it wasn't enough for its purposes.

The Storyteller became aware of the Potential shortly afterward when Mr. Researcher found evidence of the Potential tampering with already uploaded episodes. But it was too little, too late, as they were unable to prevent the Potential from releasing Genocron from his prison. After Genocron had killed the Mustard Monk and Cowhead the Pirate, the Potential confronted the Storyteller about his lack of action. Mr. Researcher, however, revealed that it wasn't the Storyteller doing the review at that moment, but a robotic decoy he had constructed. The Potential finally admitted to being responsible for sending several of the Storyteller's enemies after him, and that it was a physical embodiment of the Storyteller's own "creative potential" (from which it derived its name). It gave Mr. Researcher one final warning of impending doom for them all before teleporting away.

Behind the Scenes
In its first appearance in the Revelation Road 2 review, it appeared as a man in a black suit, no tie, and a Slenderman-esque featureless white face. Its appearance is Season 6 was altered to include a black trilby and a white featureless mask. The original face was Photoshopped on in post production. This approach was deemed to be impractical for future use, so the mask was included instead. The mask is from the Batman comic book series "The Court of Owls."
