Author Topic: Er... Isn't it about time to rename Red Star? Eryk Davis Ester Created from the Cosmic Legends of the Universe! posted                       It's been, like, twenty years since the fall of the Soviet Union. Isn't a twenty-something character named after a symbol of communism a little anachronistic? From: Liberty City | Registered: Jul 2003  |  IP: Logged |  Cobalt Kid BOHICA posted                       If anything, the rise of super-gangsters could make Red Star's new adventures the equivalent of a Russian Batman *and* Superman! From: If you don't want my peaches, honey... | Registered: Sep 2003  |  IP: Logged |  Eryk Davis Ester Created from the Cosmic Legends of the Universe! posted                       Agreed. But he needs to lose the stereotypically Soviet codename and pick up a stereotypically Russian codename.

Don't sweat the small stuff! From: Boston | Registered: Aug 2003  |  IP: Logged |  Eryk Davis Ester Created from the Cosmic Legends of the Universe! posted                       Ooh! I like "Star Czar" as a name, though it sounds more like a villain.

From: Missouri | Registered: Oct 2003  |  IP: Logged |  Cobalt Kid BOHICA posted                       I can't remember his first name, but if it was Peter, you can't get much more stereotypical than Peter the Great!

From: Liberty City | Registered: Jul 2003  |  IP: Logged |  Eryk Davis Ester Created from the Cosmic Legends of the Universe! posted                       I was trying to come up with some Ursa Major reference last night that would keep the "star" theme and invoke the "Russian Bear" idea, but I couldn't come up with anything catchy. From: Liberty City | Registered: Jul 2003  |  IP: Logged |  Cobalt Kid BOHICA posted                       I've been trying but I can't come up with anything that works. I mean, you can't name him something related to vodka. Unless we use the standby references to winter or how big Russia is. Winter Star! Big Star! Giganto Star!

I *still* can't come up with anything.
