In the process of archiving, we've been working tirelessly to remove any copyright or trademark infringements. As part of this process, we've had to change a number of characters' names. Naturally, since most of these names are the names of message board members, they were not originally chosen for their originality, and many were based on trademarked characters. Yet the characters themselves were original, and our name changes try to reflect that originality by using names that keep in the spirit of the character.
Other names may be original, but while they work as a username, they don't make much sense as a metahero name. Thus these have been updated as well.
This page is a guide to all the names that we've changed so far, showing the old names and the new ones.
