Killing and destruction are the only ways he knows to pass the time, but he has to be careful so that he doesn't accidentally destroy ''everything'' with his omnipotence, because then there will be nothing left for him to destroy. However just as he's run out of things to blow up, PM shows up and Jack falls in love with her.

The Troll's version became the member of the Felt known as Snowman, and her tropes can be found [[Homestuck (Webcomic)/The Felt/Characters|here]]. The tropes here apply to the Beta Session's iteration, and the final iteration in the Alpha Session was replaced by Betty Crocker, who presumably [[You Kill It You Bought It|killed her]].
