Line 34:
* Happy Noodle Boy from Jhonen Vasquez's ''[[Johnny the Homicidal Maniac]]'' can often be found standing in the middle of a park, yelling nonsense at anyone he comes across.
* ''[[The Sandman]]'': Delirium of the Endless. Always.
* Starman of the [[Justice Society of America]] (formerly Star Boy of the [[Legion of Super-Heroes (Comic Bookcomics)|Legion of Super-Heroes]]), who actually lives in a sanitarium, though he has his moments of lucidity. Apparently he'd been schizophrenic from the start, but had the benefit of 31st-century medicine when he was a Legionnaire that completely suppressed it. It doesn't help that he has knowledge of the 21st century from a historic perspective, or that Dream Girl filled his head with prophetic information, or that time travel can screw with the sanest minds. {{spoiler|Or that he's one of the few people who can navigate the newly formed multiverse.}}
* Marvel antihero [[Deadpool]] is one of these; it's at least partially due to [[Medium Awareness]] and it's one of his combat tactics. Opponents get distracted because he never stops talking.
** Another part of it is due to him being a [[Crazy Awesome]] [[Cloudcuckoolander]] who deliberately overplays his "lunatic" role...some of the time.
