Except that defeats the purpose of bothering to do a character from a pre-existing setting that already has an established everything.

It would be far more honest to create an OC Donut Steel with the crap you find cool rather than use this pre-existing character that you're not even bothering to keep its essence.

It would be like me choosing Goku and playing him like some wise zen master rather than the borderline retarded space alien that likes to fight and eat and expecting people to not roll their eyes.
