About

BadBoy2 is a BodyBuilding Forums member who famously posted a shirtless photograph of himself flexing his muscles accompanied by the question "I'm 18, do I have potential?" The post inspired an exploitable photoshop meme poking fun at the earnest question, editing his likeness into a variety of humorous contexts.

Origin

BodyBuilding Forums[1] user badboy2 posted a thread titled "I'm 18, do I have potential?" on October 30th, 2005, which featured a photograph of a shirtless man flexing in front of a window (shown left). The same day, forum member Brer Ben replied with an edited version of the photo, featuring various pirate accessories edited on to badboy2's likeness (shown right). Several other photoshopped versions were subsequently posted, eventually leading to over 7,600 replies prior to its removal in November of 2010.
