I agree----maybe it wasn't AS, but it definitely sounds as if he had some type of personality disorder. I wonder too if he felt as if he was a failure because first he couldn't get a job, and then his grades started to slip and then he just gave up.
He could have a personality disorder, or maybe not.
I could play paintball, and dress up with Mjolnir armor from Halo. That doesn't really mean that I actually think I am Spartan 117, The Master Chief. But if I knew alot about Halo, I could be pretty convincing. The disguise could help me to do what I usually couldn't do, that is play paint ball better.
If he wants to scare people, he could just say he is the Joker, and use everything he knows about the joker, there is alot of information out there to use, including comics. He might not actually think he is the Joker, or.... Maybe he does.
