Two Purple Guys

[Hunter #357]

Now, hear me out before you go ravaging the comments.

There is Michael Afton and William Afton.
They are notable for looking similar to one another.
However, Michael did not turn purple before SL, therefore it would cause a paradox if he were the only Purple Guy and SL took place before FNaF 4, as Freddy's didn't exist before the Fredbear's in FNaF 4.
The best explanation for this while keeping everything in a reasonable chronological order is that William was another Purple Guy.

Let me list off what I believe which Purple Guys were who:

MICHAEL:
Both "Pink Guys"
SL Purple Guy
FNaF 3 Purple Guy

WILLIAM:
FNaF 4 Purple Guy
FNaF 2 Purple Guy

I think Michael is the "Pink Guy" because perhaps he is maturing around that time, and growing to look more like his father, making him gradually appear purple. The phase in the minigames was when he was pinkish. Note that him becoming physically purple and being seen as similar to his father would be seperate instances.

Michael matured over time and eventually became a slouched man in his thirties that went and dismantled the animatronics on a favour for his dear ol' dad. They actually springtrapped the right guy, but they thought William was the culprit of the murders the whole time. This would make sense, as the FNaF 1 newspapers state that the killer was caught, but what actually happened is that Michael lured some kids into the back room and killed them, but William was accidentally framed because he looked so similar to his son. William was sent to prison, which would explain why he doesn't show up in any of the FNaF games past 2.


I think I could expand more upon this, but this is all I got for now.
Tell me what you think in the comments, please. Criticism is welcome.

While I believe that both William and Michael were involved in the Murders and all the bad things that happened at all the different locations - we all know Scott's timeline has serious flaws.

We know what caused Michael's "Purple condition" but we do not know what caused William's "discoloring". For all we know William isn't discolored at all and looks like a normal human being - or that he is discolored due to an illness or some other unknown series of events. Perhaps he is also part human, part animatronic ?

I am not convinced that William ever went to prison - the newspaper article from FNAF 1 says that a culprit was "charged" but it never said that they were "convicted" or put behind bars - it is VERY difficult to stick someone with a murder charge when there are no bodies to present and we all know the children's bodies were "never found".

There is no proof that Michael is THE purple guy, just that his sprite looks like his fathers. It might also be that the only single time we see Mikey is in the ending scene of FNaF3 when he dies in that suit. I beg to differ between proven facts and assumptions.

I still think the purple colour is just a metaphor... Come on...

I cannot fathom, after literally seeing Michael Afton go from a normal human being to a purple colored monster in the SL cutscenes, how you would think that the purple color is JUST a metaphor? That is proven fact, not conjecture. I don't know what other proof you would need that Michael Afton is 100% the Purple Man - the same Purple Man that now resides inside of Springtrap. This is irrefutable fact and not assumption. What more evidence could you ask for?

Do you not want Michael Afton to be the Purple Man ? I'm trying to understand where you are coming from with this because the facts are right there in plain sight.
