The Ugly Man was a carnival freak who was billed as the "Ugliest Man in the World." He was unable to continue taking the jeers and laughter of the crowd, deciding to take revenge on those who mocked him.

- "Ugly Man" was a brutish thug that inspired great fear in his young victim and it was not until Buffy finally convinced the boy to face the monster that he was able to awaken from the coma: suggesting that his fear of the "Ugly Man" was also acting as his prison, trapping him inside a living nightmare. Due to the "Ugly Man" only existing in dreams it is safe to assume the monster is now gone for good, especially since the Kiddy League Coach has been captured and (presumably) punished for his crimes.

| - "Ugly Man" was a brutish thug that inspired great fear in his young victim and it was not until Buffy finally convinced the boy to face the monster that he was able to awaken from the coma: suggesting that his fear of the "Ugly Man" was also acting as his prison, trapping him inside a living nightmare. Due to the "Ugly Man" only existing in dreams it is safe to assume the monster is now gone for good, especially since the Kiddy League Coach has been captured and (presumably) punished for his crimes. Being a thought-form rather than a physical entity this monster can be considered a variant of the "Tulpa", a spirit said to be created via psychic energy in certain occult circles (in this case the traumatic psychic energies caused by being violently beaten by a much stronger adult male, manifesting itself as a monster). This is further explored by the fact the Ugly Man has one of his arms replaced with a baseball bat, which it uses to bludgeon victims - this is symbolic of the Kiddy League Coach, who used a baseball bat to beat his young victim into a coma simply for losing a match.
- The Ugly Man was a carnival freak who was billed as the "Ugliest Man in the World." He was unable to continue taking the jeers and laughter of the crowd, deciding to take revenge on those who mocked him. The Hangman tried to lead him away from the path of revenge, but the Ugly Man had lost his sanity and refused to listen. Inevitably, Hangman and the Ugly Man fight. The villain attempted to flee into the Hall of Mirrors, but died when he tried to dive through the mirrors. The tale ends ironically as the Hangman remarks, "Ugly Man learned too late that you can’t take the law into your own hands."
