In the meme, it would show clips of troll face along with the song Ruler of Everything. This imagery of the character hit its peek with the “Ruler of Everything” meme. In the meme, Troll Face was darker and scarier then before and looked like something you would see in a horror movie. A little bit later a meme featuring Troll Face released. The meme although started to become darker and scarier as the memes would begin to have the final panel of the comic to be something horrific. But in the late 2010s, memes started being made featuring the character covering himself in oil to fly. Over time the character lost traction and would usually be used in Rage Comics although he would not be as popular. The character started to become mainstream even him becoming the main character of an official Wii U game. The character was depicted as a trickster as he would Troll the other characters in the comics or his imagery was used to troll other people on the internet. The character would become a character in the Rage Comics and quickly becoming popular. The character was first drawn on Microsoft Paint based on a drawing of superhero Mighty Mouse dubbed “rape rodent” and then uploaded to the internet. And, since then, it has been appearing in numerous popular YouTube videos and even on (now known as ) as well. Soon after, the meme became very popular and Rage Comics has been making many comics with the meme in it. The DMCA thought that he made the meme after the Trollface, but he had remade a sketch of the Rape Rodent before his meme of the Trollface was succeeded.
Even though the meme of the Rape Rodent was also created by Carlos Ramiez before he was posted online, and after the Trollface gained and succeeded a lot of popularity after him, then the DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) gave them a copyright complaint regarding the Meme Run game before it was banned about him making the idea of possibly Rape Rodent after Trollface. Before the meme was made, there was a sketch of a disturbing smiled character that looked very similar Mighty Mouse named Rape Rodent, who made an emotion the same way that Trollface had done.
