Hot Head & Warrior Dragon question

[Zage]

Apparently they're the same character, just different names, & colors, which I always thought was weird. I used to pretend that they were different characters, of the same race. Does/did anybody else to that? Or do you just say that they're the same character?

[CyberCubed]

They're the same character. The bio on the back of the Playmates card for Hothead is the same origin as The Warrior Dragon in Archie.

Remember, another character had two names. Man Ray and Ray Fillet are the same character with two different ways to name him.

That is an interesting question. Among fans which is the more commonly accepted name Ray Fillet or Man Ray? I don't have to ask between Scratch and Hallocat.

[Zage]

yeah, but renaming them is one thing, but making them a different color, & slightly altering their appears, as well, is another thing. As for Man Ray/Ray Fillet, I'm happy with either name, at least he looks the same, I just think of it as an alter ego, even tho, I do admit, when I was younger, I thought it was weird. & as for Scumbug & Wyrm's different appearance, I accept those, too, cause they've still got their names, & plus, the comics is a bit more "realistic" per se, with them not looking too cartoon, as opposed to purple & blue. I also like the comicbook version of Slash, better, too.

[CyberCubed]

Most characters look different in each incarnation but they're the same character.

As said, Scumbug in Archie looks nothing like he did in the toy or cartoon. Hothead being a red toy but yellow in the Archie series makes no difference.

Among fans which is the more commonly accepted name Ray Fillet or Man Ray?

Aren't they both accurate? I thought his human name was Ray Fillet, and "Man Ray" was the name he came up with when he was mutated.

Aren't they both accurate? I thought his human name was Ray Fillet, and "Man Ray" was the name he came up with when he was mutated.

In the Archie Comics his real name was Jack Finney. Your right that both are accurate I just thought one might be used a lot more than the other.

[Fugitoid Jones]

I wonder why there were differences in names for characters like Man Ray/Ray Fillet, Hothead/Warrior Dragon and Scratch/Hallocat? Was it Playmate's decision to change the names or was it the guys at Archie?

[Powder]

Well I know that Ray Fillet was changed up into Ray in the OT 'cause his creators didn't want him to be thought of as a bad guy.
The rest, I dunno.
