Ebenezer Scrooge
Ebenezer Scrooge was a character in A Christmas Carol.
When he was briefly trapped in the Prime Universe's Spirit Realm, and had to “haunt” his friend Juliet-178 to tell her how to physically bring him back, Pythagoras-858 briefly got off-track and started referring to Juliet as Ebenezer, stating in a uncharacteristically formal tone: “I am here to-night to warn you, that you have yet a chance and hope of escaping my fate. A chance and hope of my procuring, Ebenezer. You will be haunted by Three Spirits…”. He soon realised the Realm was “messing with his head” and started sounding like himself again.

Real versions of the plot of A Christmas Carol were frequently implemented by at least one set of the Three Spirits who travelled from dimension to dimension, enacting the scenario for a variety of bitter old businessmen who were often — but not always — called Ebenezer Scrooge. After the holiday was introduced to the Cupid Homeworld by Celebration-665 in 2019, the Spirits were able to intervene there for the first time, drawing Philatel-426 into a version of the scenario; the Ghost of Christmas Past initially addressed him as “Ebenezer”, to his confusion, and was mildly surprised to learn this wasn't his name, though it quickly adjusted.

Jenny Everywhere once thought to herself that Scrooge was probably real somewhere in the Multiverse, and indeed that at the very moment she was pondering about this, another one of her incarnations must be in the middle of an adventure with Scrooge. (PROSE: The Time of the Toymaker)
