Mutants based on martial artists

Bradford/Rahzar was based on Chuck Norris.

Xever/Fishface was based on Jim Kelly.

Hun was based on Bruce Lee.

Hamato Yoshi and Oroku Saki were based on Sonny Chiba.

So... which mutant would be based on Jackie Chan?

As a big Jackie Chan fan, to me it would be a waste to have an homage of him if they were to just immediately be mutated anyway. Given he's done a whole bunch of films with "dragon" in the title you could take inspiration from that, I guess, though we're supposedly getting Hot-head (if only in the form of a Mikey nod-name in the way that Wingnut was) next season so that may fill the quota. I dunno what in Sam-Hill I'd do with one. Maybe just a new human character?

Jackie Chan Adventures had a very similar art style to the 4Kids toon... maybe they could work out a belated crossover episode in the Nick toon!

I can totally see Hothead be a homage to Jackie Chan, He was a Chinese American firefighter, can magically turn into a Dragon.

Hun isn't a mutant in first place
