If this happens enough, it can result in an extremely obvious variation of a Fountain of Expies. May be a result of having someone Exiled From Continuity, though it has to be a formal exile. The same doesn't hold true for Anime & Manga parodies though, which often resort to Captain Ersatzes when the parody character is more than a background cameo.Ĭontrast Writing Around Trademarks, where the similarity was unplanned and unwanted Expy, where a character is very similar to but not obviously supposed to be another character, and Suspiciously Similar Substitute, who replaces an existing original in the same continuity. Sometimes multiple characters will be distilled into one, creating a Composite Character. They also (usually) aren't found in Fanfic: that Sailor Earth is a Copy Cat Sue (and they can just outright use a Crossover). This character tends to evolve into their own direction if they make later appearances.Ĭaptain Ersatzes are somewhat rare in American parody, as their copyright law allows use of the original characters in parody. At other times, they are used as parodies or Take Thats against the original characters they're based on (and possibly the company who owns them).ĭone when an artist or writer wants to use a character but for whatever reason isn't allowed to at the present time, especially due to uncertainty of ownership, or else certainty that that character is trademarked into someone else's continuity and isn't going to be loaned out.

Sometimes, these characters are used as affectionate Shout-Outs to a series or creator that may have inspired them. Just as someone who wants to incorporate a Wal-Mart into a story but can't manage the Product Placement might use " Box Mart," a person who wants to write Captain Original, but can't because a rival comic company owns the trademark, will create Captain Ersatz. This character's design is a mix of legal issues and homage. Big Show appears on Supah Ninjas on Nickelodeon on Friday night.The character equivalent of a Bland-Name Product. WWE has filed a trademark for the name "Kharma." That would be the name for a new piece of talent, which could be Awesome Kong (thanks to Stephen Haynes) Shelton Benjamin & Charlie Haas defend the ROH tag titles against Mark & Jay Briscoe on 5/7 in Toronto.

People who were on the plane with Hardy did not believe him to be hurt. Matt Hardy on twitter said that he thought he fractured his arm, but the only injury we heard about independently from the show was that of Jarrett. Angle was said to be okay after the match.
Jeff Jarrett suffered broken ribs last night in his match with Kurt Angle.
For what it's worth, John Cena has been announced for the Smackdown show the next day in Greensboro. It was described to me as a panic mood as this was scheduled for June. Don't know how big a deal this is considering Smackdown talent has been on Raw virtually every week for months. As noted earlier, the WWE will be doing its annual draft next week in Raleigh.
