Five may not be Number One to his father or siblings, but he is Number One in the fans' hearts. However, even he is not without fault.

Five has had a difficult life and has arguably been more traumatized by his superpower than any of the other Hargreeves. There were times when he was creepy, and even the most hardcore fans couldn't find an excuse for his behavior.

Here are three times Five truly went over the top.

1. When Five Holds Luther at Gun Point

We hate to break it to you, but Five and Dolores are not as cute together as the writers would have us believe. It's sad to see Five so attached to an inanimate object, but it just has to stop.

The message of their "love story" is plain wrong, and the relationship shouldn't be explored any further. Remember when Five almost shot his brother over the mannequin? Very disturbing.

2. When Five Imagines Kissing Dolores

Dolores makes another appearance in season 3 in a daydream created by one of the Sparrows specifically to distract Five. The mannequin comes to life and starts talking to Five, and he is shook.

The scene ends with him kissing Dolores in his daydream, and we never resonated more with a Sparrow than when disgusted Jayme sighed and asked a rhetorical question, "Are they all perverts?" No, but that scene was creepy.

3. When Five Makes a Deal with the Handler

Five is desperate to get himself and his siblings back to their timeline, and the Handler suggests a deal: Five assassinates the Commission's bosses and hands over the control of time to her, and in return, she helps the Hargreeves get back to their time.

We get that Five sees no other option at the moment, and that's why he agrees, but still – the dude is willing to give control of time itself to the woman who can't be trusted with making dinner, let alone supervising time.

Not cool and very selfish.

Five has had a lot of traumatic things happen to him in his life, but he is psychologically a grown man in his fifties: he should know better than the rest of his siblings.

Though, he is also an apocalypse junkie, so we shouldn't really expect too much from him.
