SLENDERMAN
THEORY: SLENDERMAN IS AN ALIEN
Watch any episode of Star Trek that deals with Gods (TOS' "Who Mourns the Adonais?") or demons (TNG's "Devil's Due").
Exact same logic. Slenderman defies logic by our current standards. And when we can't explain something with science and logic, we explain it as magic and fantasy.
Its modus operandi? Its physiology? Its power to teleport and mess up electronics? Only an extraterrestrial could be at the heart of all of it.
Just wait. Star Trek's gonna do just that.

THEORY: HAILEY ZIKTOR IS RELATED TO VR TROOPERS VILLAIN KARL ZIKTOR
While her surname is never mentioned on the show, on the cast sheet it's listed as "Ziktor", the same surname as Grimlord's real-world counterpart Karl Ziktor.
While never really mentioned whether or not VR Troopers takes place in the same universe as Power Rangers, it is possible. Also, since not much is known about Karl Ziktor's life before the show began or after it ended, there are two possibilities:
* She's his daughter. She went to MIT with Tommy (though this is flimsy since Tommy studied a field not taught there, though it's possible he changed fields and even colleges), which makes her around the same age as him, if not younger. That would mean that she went to college after Tommy left the Turbo Rangers in 1997, which in turn makes her about 15-18 (I'm assuming she might have been a prodigy), so she would have been born between 1979 and 1982, which is at most 15 years prior to the events of VR Troopers. So it could be that early on, he had a family and his wife left him and took their daughter with her.
* Karl Ziktor's her uncle. We don't know if Karl Ziktor had a wife and daughter, but we don't know if he had any siblings. So Karl Ziktor is Hailey's uncle. The fact that her name is Ziktor could indicate that their common relation is his brother, but it could also mean that their common relation is Karl's sister, assuming she was either an unwed mother OR kept her own name.
