[Vocabulary] Freak/Misfit

Please, could anyone tell me if these nouns might be synonyms?

They might be, depending in the context.

They're listed as such in some sources, including this one.

There are plenty of contexts where they wouldn't be synonyms- you can have a freak event (unexpected) like a freak storm, where misfit would not work.

Thanks. Yes, I understand this.
In case of talking about a person who behaves extraordinarily or not appropriately or strange, or has a weird appearance (in other people's opinions) I guess they are synonyms, are not they?
