Gore appears to be very delusional and deranged, which is shown most when he invents the fictional [[Manbearpig (character)|Manbearpig]] creature and puts [[The Boys|the boys]]' lives in danger to maintain that fantasy.

This indicates that Gore has an extreme case of egocentricity as his attention-seeking idée fixe has poisoned his mind to the point that he undisputedly believes in the reality of Manbearpig.

Gore obviously made up Manbearpig and made it seem real (as far as he thought) so that the world would consider him a hero for "destroying" it, which is all he cares about. His mental creation manifested itself among the other evil characters of Imaginationland and he was willing to destroy Imaginationland along with all of its inhabitants to kill Manbearpig. Believing himself a super-hero of sorts, after donning his cape he began running around acting and talking like Superman.
