Classic edition:
Source:
The classic story about his identity is Notch's late brother, described by the first picture related to Herobrine. However, Notch himself does not have a dead brother, and the classic story is obviously divorced from the facts.
Aside from its ghost identity, the classic version also puts forward two specious theories.
Herobrine has many virus characteristics, such as changing and manipulating the game world of My World, deleting posts on the forum or transmitting information through the forum. It even has the ability to hack into Notch's e-mail and reply to the information that proves its existence. Or, Herobrine may just be imagined by users themselves. These "messages" and emails sent by Herobrine account may all be made up by users themselves. This is also the reason why Notch rejects classic stories very much, because it has no practical basis at all.
The prototype of Herobrine comes from Slenderman, and the design inspiration of the last filmmaker also comes from this.
Appearance:
Herobrine is a human entity like Steve's skin. The only difference is that his eyes are not only completely white, but also glow like a light source in the dark.
Mobility:
According to the content of the origin post, Herobrine should have the ability to run in the game. The video of Brocast channel shows that it stands as usual, with both hands straight, looking at the image of the player. In the video, it doesn't do any body movements, but it can move its position. Herobrine's ability to swim, use transportation or use portal is not clear. Like most ghosts, he probably won't and doesn't need any of the above abilities to move.
Ability:
Heroes can be built or destroyed in My World. The image in the original post shows a 2×2 long tunnel built by Herobrine, a pyramid in the sea and a bare tree. Herobrine's complete architectural ability is not clear, but from the known settings, it has the ability to distinguish different shapes and materials.
Herobrine's goal always seems to be human players. It never interacts with other creatures in Brocast videos, such as zombies and skeletons. The idea of more biological generations in the original also makes the story foggy. There is a chicken in the screenshot of the origin post, but Herobrine seems to have no interest in it at all, just watching the player.
In the stalker version, he will follow the player and disappear once he is found or near. This setting is taken directly from the classic version of the story.
Herobrine's popularity is attributed to a live video of Brocast staff: Herobrine appeared in the live broadcast (this is the most famous video of Herobrine). Although it was a prank, it immediately gathered a lot of popularity for Herobrine. Herobrine appeared in this video for about 20 minutes and 45 seconds.

Origin:
The most popular theory between players and users is that Herobrine is a ghost. Other theories include: existence above human beings; Demon; Bad omen; Or other explanations derived from classical settings. However, most other theories/settings seem to regard My World as the real world, rather than a virtual game in which players control game characters to play. The setting of the classic Herobrine legend does not confuse the game with reality, but is strictly defined within the scope of science and technology.
Appearance:
Herobrine sometimes shows up with tools in his hand. This setting comes from Herobrine's life experience as a miner and is widely believed by community players. Generally speaking, it is empty-handed
Herobrine is often described as a miner who died long before the player came into this world, although his appearance is completely different from this description. However, since there are many abandoned mines and fortresses in My World, and mining is also an important part of the game, it is not surprising that players will accept this setting.
Mobility:
Like angered shadow people, heroes are considered to have teleportation ability. The whole community basically thinks that Herobrine can run, which is inconsistent with the classic version.
Herobrine can't fly, and no story variant agrees with the classic version in this respect. However, he seems to have the ability to skate. In other words, it can move without moving any limbs. I guess that's how he retreated into the fog.
Herobrine is usually described as a twisted or twitching head. Probably because he is regarded as a virus/invisible entity rather than a ghost most of the time.
Ability:
Herobrine occasionally interacts with other creatures, such as controlling neutral creatures or resurrecting/generating undead.
Herobrine seems to have the ability to make great changes with resources that are not available in the environment. Such as placing boulders, building dungeon buildings, and using red stone torches to build traps. Its behavior pattern is very consistent with a creative gamer.
Herobrine seems unable to enter the lower bound or a dead end.
In the Avengers version, he will try to lure players into the trap he laid and then steal their belongings. He will wait for the player to enter the dungeon he built, then seal the entrance and exit, or send it directly behind the player to kill the player. Other rare versions say that he will destroy the player's work and steal things from the box. This version may be inspired by many white people and malicious vandals in multiplayer games.
He in the future:
Before Herobrine became famous, Notch answered related questions on twitter.
