Does it matter if we have extensive knowledge of a character's original comic, or can we diverge with inspiration from adaptations - TV shows, video games, media etc.

The whole point of this RP is that the characters as we know them from comics, shows, and movies, etc., diverge in our interpretations in some form or another. We have a Supergirl without Superman. We have Frank Castle as Captain America. We have whatever the Hell it is [@Hillan] is doing. 

While having more knowledge about a character and their lore/setting to draw upon is always beneficial, you're allowed to redesign said character as you see fit - so long as the 'core' of the character is still present in some way. For instance, you probably wouldn't be accepted if you tried to make Wolverine a fairy princess pacifist. Though, I welcome [@Byrd Man] to submit a sheet as such, preferably in the style of a Dr. Seuss book.
