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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]
