General information
ReturnOfEliteSwatDivision, also known as MoonMan, is one of the more popular members of the UtubeTrollPolice and has been roughly in the scene since 2017 with a few occasional breaks here and there. MoonMan made his SML sucks channel around early 2017 but didnt join UTTP until July 2017 when it was still riding off the energy of 2015-2016. MoonMan heard of the group prior in late 2015 from the FNAF G+ due to Sherman's operation being feared at the time. MoonMan was originally thought to be Ivory, this very quickly got him noticed by lots of people since MoonMans channel at the time was growing at a great rate to the point even TPNG posted the channel on Google+ and ipgrabbed MoonMan with the TPNG website. Legend and MoonMan later talked a month after about leaving it and was under the lie of Jason Madderom creating the group, which lead to the creation of the KuKluxTrollKlan (at the time, KuKluxTrollingKlan). This group was an offshoot for those who wanted to have UTTP fun without bothering the higher uppers like PurpleHelmetAvenger and TPNG, this lead the group to grow insanely popular and cause a ton of havoc within such a short time. MoonMan was even offered by Legend himself to join PHA's UTTPHC in 2018 but ultimately declined the offer due to being indifferent to it. Youtube was ruthless with KKTK channels, especially MoonMan and MoonManVevo, banning so many of them within weeks or even within a day. This eventually cause MoonMan to start focusing primarily on UtubeTrollPolice on StrongMoonman to avoid being banned and disbanded the KKTK due to it having no real use and has been disbanded since 2020. StrongMoonMan went onto be MoonMan's most popular channel ever, obtaining 908 subscribers. MoonMan slowly started to fizzle in activity in 2021 and closed his channel along with MoonManTeam and THK3 on February 1st 2022, exactly 2 years after it was made due to some drama with AFF which spread rumors that MoonMan was a pedophile (Sentinel and Lavaman also were kicked out around this time). MoonMan later brought back the channel briefly late July to make a video on Deynox and Lavaman but closed it again once he settled the beef with Irin and AFF and besides two VidliiTrollPolice videos, MoonMan was gone nearly all of 2022. In early 2023, MoonMan was begged to come back by OfficerAutism, Slappy, and even Tommy Parky. This lead to Tommy himself commenting on MoonMan's personal channel and ReturnOfEliteSwatDivision being revived from March - August 2023. THK3 was also shortly brought back but then closed once there was zero plans to continue it. StrongMoonMan was reopened for historical purposes and even had a playlist with all videos but was abruptly banned in 2023[15] Eventually the ROESD channel went inactive due to not being pleased with HBM's direction of UTTP and even tried to rebel against him much early on, with no results. After Slappy returned in mid 2024 to bait HBM and his UTTP, MoonMan revived ReturnOfEliteSwatDivision once again during July of 2024 and later on brought back the MoonMan Alias in 2025. MoonMan was also notorious for doxxing the most out of the group from 2017-2020, MoonMan was able to uncover Sashley's email, Zender Man's email, and even Zack Max's information to list a few.
UTTP/KKTK war and Alliance
The War
The creation of the KKTK was not seen entirely with praise. Around late January 2018, OfficerRonald (under BigRonald2018) replied to Yellow Bird KKTK/Squid Doodle with "UTUBETROLLPOLICE VS THY RACIST KUKLUXTROLLINGKLAN" and uploaded a video titled "UTUBETROLLPOLICE VS KKTK & FALSE OFFICERS". This video gained a ton of attention with MoonMan sharing it to the KKTK G+. This war was mostly prominent of Ronald, Carnevil, Keith Chegwin, and later on Slappy. This war was also birth to the EliteSwatDivision alias which was originally a spy account from Yellow Bird KKTK, he was able to obtain Carnevils Ip and eventually gave the account to MoonMan since he had no use for it. MoonMan also made "StrongToughJesse" but failed embarrassingly and changed it to a KKTK account. MoonMan lost access to both of these after giving access to Ivory to make it "hacked" by TPNG in order to scare the members. Ronald eventually deleted his account early June which was a huge sign of the war dying and Tommy himself barely cared, which lead only Carnevil leading the war. MoonMan later on created the ReturnOfEliteSwatDivision account to talk to Keith, Ivory (under RonaldStrikesBack, a fake ronald account), and Carnevil. Carnevil revealed the fact Ivory was behind Ronald but MoonMan already got Keith's ip address by then and TPNG talked him into leaving. Shortly after Keith left, Slappy came into the picture and was making a ton of anti KKTK videos. This made MoonMan under the suspicion Slappy was Carnevil until Yellow Bird ipgrabbed him, revealing it not to be the same person.
The Alliance
To the surprise of MoonMan, Slappy offered MoonMan a truce and even uploaded a video on Kazco1968 (axol's father, who moonman made a video on prior). Once the UTTP vs KKTK war ended July 2018, they were absolutely unstoppable. Slappy, Carnevil, MoonMan, and MoonManVevo would go on raiding livestreams, getting both PuffSoda and Axolotix's channels delete, and even created "VidliiTrollPolice" and entirely ruined the site by 2019. This was a group that was later resurrected in 2022 with UtubeTrollDHS, Slappy, Carnevil, and HyperBatMapping. TPNG were far from happy as they thought the KKTK was enabling "the rebels"[16], this resulted in KKTK's G+ being destroyed and MoonMan eventually DFE regarding to his alias and hiding behind many alts until eventually they stopped caring early 2019 and lost entire trust in PHA. This gave MoonMan, Carnevil, and Slappy leadership of the group and the alliance stayed intact with Tommy himself promoting it until the group died.
Divisive run
Despite the reputation, MoonMan was relatively a black sheep inside the scene (mostly during the run of the KKTK) until Sherbase12 hacked popular gacha youtuber "MB" and gave StrongMoonMan a shoutout, doubling his subcount and making him in charge (along with Tommy Parky and Sherbase12). MoonMan was respected a lot by Tommy Parky and even the Strutters but was very controversial overall with other older members.
Reception in forests
MoonMan was respected for loving the history of the UtubeTrollPolice during the glory days and has convinced people that his recreations were actually originally from 2011-2012 but was criticized for his constant need for questions (a common trait a lot of newgens ironically enough share today) and his personal attacks on certain people, most notorious example being Axolotix which caused a whole hate campaign from Early 2018 through Mid 2019. MoonMan has expressed disappointment looking back on the personal attacks, saying how "trolling should be unbiased and random, not personal". Despite his friendship with Carnevil and Slappy, he was also poked fun of a bit due to his laughable crashouts for awhile. MoonMan also caught controversy in 2023 because he was believed to be sided with HBM and responsible for kicking Carnevil and Slappy out due to still being around after they left and trying his best not to get involved in the controversy. This forever stained his reputation with older members but his friendship with Carnevil and Slappy has been built back up.
War On Sashley
MoonMan kicked off the Anti Sashley Campaign during May-June of 2019, this caught on quickly with other UTTP/KKTK members but MoonMan benefited the most attention from it. MoonMan created many, many alts on youtube and deviantart to attack Sashley and her mutuals, these alts included:
- ItzFlameKid (A channel that just stole videos from other animators claiming "they stole from him" made to abuse the copyright method to obtain details, which actually worked as MoonMan was first to leak Sashleys email.)
- imposters of sashley and her friends (most would just have a thumbnail with eric linger hypnotic over it.)
- glen-styled accounts dedicated to attacking sashley.
MoonMan was even subscribed by a Youtuber who went to expose sashley, Goatcatto. This spiraled the campaign even further and eventually a ponder sprocket video was made about the situation, which eventually died down.
