Composite Character: Difference between revisions

Line 16:

* ''New [[Getter Robo]]'' has Benkei Musashiboh, the third man and [[The Big Guy]] of the Getter team. He has traits from both Musashi, the original Big Guy, and Benkei, {{spoiler|the [[Suspiciously Similar Substitute|one who replaced Musashi]] after his [[Heroic Sacrifice]].}}

* Atlas from [[The Eighties]]' ''[[Astro Boy (anime)|Astro Boy]]''. He is a composite of three different characters from the manga: the original Atlas, a minor villain with a new type of AI that allowed him to break the laws of robotics; Cobalt, Astro's "brother"; and the Blue Knight, who was basically the robot version of Malcolm X. The 2000s series featured the Blue Knight as his own character, but its version of Atlas was still a composite of Atlas and Cobalt.

* Madame Sulliman from ''[[~~Film/Howls~~ Moving Castle|~~Howls~~ Moving Castle]]'' is a combination of two characters from the book: Howl's old magic teacher, who was not affiliated with the king, and Wizard Suliman, the King's head wizard. He is a young man {{spoiler|transformed into a dog, who ends up marrying one of Sophie's sisters.}}

He is a young man {{spoiler|transformed into a dog, who ends up marrying one of Sophie's sisters.}}

* In the anime adaptation of ''[[Death Note]]'', the US president whom {{spoiler|Mello blackmails, and later dies ,with [[Word of God]] stating that it's "believed Kira disposed of"}}, is combined with the character of {{spoiler|his replacement from the manga}}.

* Mariel Lubie from the ''[[Code Geass]]'' [[Alternate Continuity]] manga ''Suzaku of the Counterattack'' combines aspects of three characters from the anime (Cecile's [[Gadgeteer Genius]], Euphemia's being role as Suzaku's love interest, and Shirley's "girl next door" qualities) into a single character who meshes better with the story's setting.

* A fairly minor one in ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha (anime)|Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]] [[The Movie]] 1st''. Two of the more memorable [[Monster of the Week]] in the first season, namely the [[Hell Hound]] and the [[Mega Neko]], were combined into one in this [[Adaptation Distillation]], having the plot-important kitty grow into a [[Panthera Awesome|demon panther]] that serves as the catalyst for Nanoha and Fate's first meeting.

Line 316:

* In the first ''[[Marvel vs. Capcom Clash of the Superheroes|Marvel vs. Capcom]]'', Ryu could change his fighting style and palette mid-fight to match those of Ken's and Akuma's. This is because he is not meant to be a standard incarnation of Ryu, but a combination of himself, Ken, and Akuma representing the entire ''[[Street Fighter]]'' series. This is why his theme music in the game is the ''[[Street Fighter II]]'' title tune instead of his usual theme and why he is labelled as "Complete Change Ryu" in the PS1 version. A more subtle example is Zangief, who can switch between his regular self and his alternate Mecha-Zangief form, who was originally an alternate character in ''[[Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter|Marvel vs. Street Fighter]]''.

* The unmasked version of Sub-Zero was among the list casualties that were cut out from the [[Nintendo 64]] version of ''[[Mortal Kombat 3|Mortal Kombat Trilogy]]''. However, most of his Special Moves and Finishing Moves were instead given to the masked Sub-Zero.

* In ''[[Dissidia Final Fantasy]]'', the [[Final Fantasy I|Warrior of Light]] and [[Final Fantasy III|Onion Knight]] are both single characters that represent the four-man [[~~AFGNCAAP~~]] team from their respective games. The Onion Knight was especially strange, as there was already a DS remake of ''III'' that gave identities to the heroes.

* In ''[[Dissidia Final Fantasy]]'', the [[Final Fantasy I|Warrior of Light]] and [[Final Fantasy III|Onion Knight]] are both single characters that represent the four-man [[Featureless Protagonist]] team from their respective games. The Onion Knight was especially strange, as there was already a DS remake of ''III'' that gave identities to the heroes.

* ''[[Samurai Warriors]]'':

** It's been suggested that Saika Magoichi is a combination of Suzuki Shigehide (Who sided with Hideyoshi in SW1-2) and Suzuki Shigetomo (Who sided with Masamune in the latter half of SW2 and SW3), both men who held the title of "Saika Magoichi".

Line 410:

* When [[Nickelodeon]] re-introduced America to ''[[Winx Club]]'' in 2011, they crammed the first two seasons into four, one-hour specials. The season two special, "The Shadow Phoenix," merged Lord Darkar with {{spoiler|Professor Avalon}} by making the latter a disguise. In the original full season, {{spoiler|the Avalon the Winx met was an imposter working for Darkar.}} The change caused a [[Plot Hole]] in the third season, since {{spoiler|the real Avalon had arrived at Alfea by then}}.

* In ''[[WITCH]]'' comics Nerissa's [[The Dragon|Dragon]] Shagon and bestial Kor were random man and his dog turned into her servants. In the cartoon this fate is given to Will's boyfriend Matt and his pet rat.

* ''[[Batman: Mask of the Phantasm]]'' was adapted from the Batman: Year Two storyline. In the comic, the Reaper was Judson Caspian, whose daughter Rachael was in a budding relationship with Bruce Wayne. In the movie, {{spoiler|Andrea Beaumont}} was both the Phantasm and the love interest.
