What is Mike?


I've always wondered if he was actually the Devil. He is asked if he is an Angel , and kinda scoff's at the idea and says something like 'Err , no not exactly'.
Then he says something non commital about being the mystical embodyment of your conscience.
But since Larry's wish basically turns his life into chaos, i actually wonder if he is in fact the Devil?

I don't believe he's the Devil... I can't answer your question about "what" he is, but I just don't get a satanic vibe from him... and Larry's wish didn't turn his life into chaos... it simply gave him the alternate life he would have lived had he made that home run lo those many years ago... Mike gave him a glimpse of what his life might have been like and, as a result, showed him that sometimes things really are better the way they are, and that thinking your life would be better "if only" isn't necessarily true.

... the hardest thing in this world is to live in it...

He's Mr. Destiny... How could anyone not know that?

Right now, we are alive... And in this moment, I swear... We are infinite.

Perhaps ala a Christmas Carol, Mike is a ghost that shows Larry what his future would be....



Whose idea was it for the word "Lisp" to have an "S" in it?

I always took his hesitation as he was no angel, he was actually God.

I’ve always assumed he was an angel. There is an angel named Michael.
