There’s no doubt that the Great Uncle of Mabel and Dipper Pines, Stan Pines, holds a great power locked within a secret a chamber in his mystery shack. Stan Pines acquired a series of books written by an unknown author containing the mysteries of the town in which they live, Gravity Falls. When all the books are opened to a certain page they are put together to activate a portal that opens through an algorithm that takes months to complete, even with a machine. The portal leads to infinite knowledge of the universe. However, this power can be used for either good, or evil.

Stan has a twin brother who went missing, and Stan could use the portal to find him because the portal grants him infinite knowledge of the universe. In episode 19 season 1, Bill Cypher addresses two Stan Pines’. Bill Cypher is a floating illuminati symbol and a pure source of evil. Gideon makes a deal with Bill to alter Stan’s memory and Bill ponders about Stan Pines and then thinks a different Stan Pines. “Ah! This is the Stan that Gideon is talking about,” (Alex Hirsch) as Bill is thinking his body changes to match the image of his thoughts.

On the contrary, Bill also mentions this quote from episode 4 season 2, “This isn’t the last you’ll hear of me! Big things are coming! You can’t stop me!” (Alex Hirsch). Bill states that he is going to come back and seek revenge against everyone, possibly through an apocalypse that Stan mentions.
