Redirect to original
Description
Blank version here.This idea came from my imagining the kinds of nicknames someone totally new to my characters would give them. It was... pretty entertaining. I never understood why folks get so offended when the audience compares their characters to existing ones. Like... No one's accusing you of stealing. No one's calling you unoriginal. Just chill and let the people share their thoughts.
Anyway, this meme was hilarious for me, and I hope you guys enjoy it too!
(Oh, about that last... creature, it's a background character who I'm calling "Belto" for now. He/she/it is a high-ranking diplomat from the outskirts of the galaxy. That's all I got.)

Thanks; I look forward to it! I find it's easiest to put yourself in the shoes of someone seeing your characters for the first time. Without knowing their backstories and personalities, the person would likely connect them to existing characters they might resemble (hence the pop culture references in this version). I actually thought up alternate names for the first three: "Murderous Elastigirl", "Steroid Balto", and "Judge Doom". Basically safe-for-work insults.

Haha thanks! I mean the story's a BIT more complex than that, but... yeah that's the basic gist of it.
