This is an article of a pseudo-term: there is a psychoogical "Complex" and there is a "Messiah", someone here and there ironically combined them into "Messiah Complex". Now, why not a "Pippi Longstocking complex" or a "Napoleon complex"? Because combining words to noun clusters, whether frequent or not, doesn't make a term of them. This article fails on WP:NEO, WP:NOTABLE and WP:SYNTH – it should be deleted: praetere censeo articulum messiah complex esse delendam! Rursus dixit. (mbork3!) 12:03, 31 December 2010 (UTC)
- A Napoleon complex is a very real thing. Apparently it used to be such a popular affliction that the standard cartoon representation of an asylum inmate is a guy dressed up as Napoleon.
- The actress portraying Pippi Longstocking in the 70s TV show once made the mistake of thinking she could jump off roofs like Pippi could, and she broke her leg. 2A01:CB0C:CD:D800:D458:C1B4:1AFA:842B (talk) 08:59, 24 August 2022 (UTC)

Picture
Has the person in the picture been diagnosed with this complex? Nothing was said in the caption about his wanting to save anyone. NorCalJames (talk) 22:17, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
- I'm going to remove the picture. Put it back if you disagree, or else find another one. NorCalJames (talk) 17:58, 27 May 2023 (UTC)
