>Tony Stark's father is named Howard because of Howard Hughes>Dr. Strange's middle name is Vincent because he was heavily based on Vincent Price>Starfire looks like sex because her entire appearance was based off of a Puerto Rican stripperAny other examples of heroes being very obviously based off of real people?
>>154850847Latina Starfire makes sense
>>154850847Someone forgot about Barbarella
C.C. Beck based Captain Marvel's face on Fred MacMurray.
>>154850957
>>154850847>he's called Dick Grayson because he makes my cock hard
Mary Jane Watson and Ann-Margret is another famous one, no?
>>154851066>>154851073Nightwing x Starfire is the hottest couple
Green Lantern villain Black Hand/William Hand is based off Batman creator Bill Finger. Bill would write ideas in an idea book based off things he encountered or read everyday to work them into stories. Black Hand would similarly write down ideas to execute perfect and unexpected crimes. His costume was based off Batman too. Geoff Johns made him a spooky zombie man.

>>154851149I never liked Audrey Hepburn as a model for Selina. Selina's a slinky femme fatale, Audrey is a cutie patootie. Ava Gardner is closer to my mental image of Selina.
I assumed as a kid X-Men's Lila Cheney was Madonna, at least the iteration of her I encountered but im not sure
>>154850847SAINT SEIYA?
Robert Redford was the model for Matt Murdock since Frank Miller's run on Daredevil.
>>154851198>>154851149Cooke's was based on an Itlian actress I think whose name escapes me, anyone know who I mean? Googling it just returns 60 million for Hepburn, who to my mind is inaccurate, that was Hughes.
>>154850847I know you said heroes but can we include villains because I always need to bat for my man David Niven.
>>154851240Cooke used Ava Gardner in Mogambo, Grace Kelly in Rear Window, and Audrey Hepburn as his inspirations for his Selina.
>>154850847Miracleman is based on Paul Newman.
Do you guys think there’s an actress hot enough to play Starfire in the DCU?
>>154851304Only if they cast a thick Latina or Brazillian and stop trying to make her a nig.
>>154851284This is who I meant. I'd previously read, and just saw the anecdote again that he was inspired by this 1954 cover.
>>154850957I don’t know where people get the idea that shes black
>>154851347
>>154850847Goodie Rickels is my favorite.
>>154851534
>>154851370All woman in literature&comics&tv shows are now black queens, you CIS white male piece of shit!!!!!
>>154850847>>154851066>>154851304>>154851442>Troq loversYou disgust me.
>>154851149I don't think it counts when later artists are just visually "casting" characters like that, only when they were conceived based on a specific person.
>>154851370Because of her curly hair, which is stupid because white and Latina women can have curly hair too. Even Wonder Woman or Catwoman had hair like that in the comics back then.And personally, I always thought she looked more Latina than Black because of her soft, feminine features and voluptuous body, like a Brazilian or Colombian woman
>>154850847Sandman's Death is based on Cinamon HadleySandman's Lucifer is based on David BowieJohn Constantine is based on Sting.
Big Barda was based off Lainie KazanAnd Jack Kirby's wife
>>154851579Gay
>>154851182>ugly as fuck>draws himself as a chadONE OF US
>>154852104But why did he give himself a widow’s peak? Wasn’t that seen as a nefarious trait back then?
>>154851073no its because he sucks the life out of it until its grey
>>154851304
>>154851304Ella Purnell
>>154852252Doc Savage reference.
>>154851442>that TV appearance where she kept moving her butt and then went barefoot
>>154852618which one
>>154852104Not only that, Peter has women interested in him. Ditko failed to get with Marvel secretary Flo Steinberg and was never able to get a girlfriend or wife later in his life
Garth Ennis said that Tommy Monaghan was inspired by Gabriel Byrne in Miller’s Crossing
>>154850847I think the combination of tracing and prevalence of internet image searching means it’s hard to get away with copying a known actor.
>>154852104He didn't really look handsome until Romita was drawing him though.
>>154852983Also probably based on this dude.
>>154851442>near thunderthighs on the actual lady>usual skinny thighs on Starfiredowngrade
>>154851819That's also Siouxsie Sioux makeup. Also pictured is one of the inspirations for Morpheus, Robert Smith.
>>154852983Speaking of Ennis, I think this guy was the inspiration for Jesse Custer. It's an actor known as Adrian Pasdar, and he was also in Near Dark, which is where he got the inspiration for the romance with Tulip and for Cassady's vampirism.
>>154853803Here's a still from Near Dark. I think Tulip was partly based on her (Jenny Wright) but also La Femme Nikita, Anne Parillaud, possibly also Bridget Fonda from the remake, The Point of No Return.
>>154853896Cassidy, I think, is based on Spider Stacy from The Pogues. People have claimed Shane McGowan of The Pogues, but he has fucked up teeth and big ass ears.Also, Bill Paxton's character from Near Dark.
>>154852947That’s not true, he dated at least one of Eric Stanton’s models.
>>154851390only thing I dislike about Cooke's Catwoman is no high heels on the main suit
>>1548513401/3 of Latinas and Brazilians are of Afro descent
>>154854976And where is the evidence of that happening? All Ditko ever did was do with Eric Stanton was contribute to some of his works. Also I'm not sure Eric Stanton had live models in his studio when making his comics
>>154851298Paul Newman was also visually the basis for Hal Jordan, too
>>154850847Heheh Howard Huge
>>154850847Wasn't Zatanna based off the creator's wife?
>>154855131Still hotter than black queens
>>154855867No I think you're confusing her creator with Paul Dini who was obsessed with her and married a Zatanna cosplayer.
>>154856420>married a Zatanna cosplayer.Excuse me?
>>154851304>>154851073
>>154856420IIRC she was an actual magician. Still based.
>>154851442>>154852618>>154852795Her first appearance on Letterman you can tell that Starfire's innocent/flirty was heavily based on Chaconhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqHgPTnrmtI
>>154857704Forgot image of her taking a 'bow'
>>154851691How long has it been since Latinas that Americans are familiar with flaunt huge curly hair, though?
>>154858480today at school
>>154858682Fair enough.
Turning She-Hulk into Ally McBeal didn't do her any favours. She was way better off as a Elvira proxy.
>>154850847Hal Jordan was visibly based on Paul NewmanSinestro was based on David Niven
>>154852104Wrong and wrong
>>154852599Peter Parker predates James Bama's Doc covers. Pulp Doc did not have a widow's peak.
Byrne based the looks of the members of the Hellfire club on these actors.
>>154851691Daniela - who?
>>154854976/co/ heard that story about Ditko getting shot down by Flo Steinberg and just assumed it was a defining moment of his life that he never got over.
>>154853745
>>154860183>the birth of a supervillain.jpg
>>154851370Industry inside joke to turn all redheads black because of ginger being an anagram of the n word.
>>154850847All of the New Teen Titans characters were modeled after specific people, not just Starfire. And she's not a stripper.Starfire = Iris ChacónRaven = Persis KhambattaCyborg = Jim BrownChangeling = Mickey RooneyKid Flash = Ron HowardWonder Girl = Marie OsmondAnd Robin = Burt Ward, of course
>>154850847Big Barda was visually based on pic related, according to Jack Kirby.
>>154859430the Orson Welles expy is not anywhere near fat enough
>>154861172Nor kino enough.
>>154851198Allegedly Bob Kane based Selina Kyle's look on a showgirl he was dating at the time.
>>154851066In hindsight it is kinda fucking crazy how much mouth-frothing anger a drawing of a hot chick in a bikini causedThe 2010s were like a different reality
>>154863114the feminist revival was astroturfed, because it was supposed to get Hillary elected. It backfired pretty catastrophically.
Beast Wars Black Arachnia was based on an Asian Stripper the model makers saw before hand.
>>154863114They really hate hot women
>>154851198Same vibe
>>154863114I like that stuff, but I really hate fake tits.
>>154863263Yep. Envy turned to hatred.
>>154856732Correct. Her being an actual magician and dressing like Zatanna makes it even better.
>>154856732>>154863927This was like Oda marrying a Nami cosplayer.
>>154863537Damn she's stacked.
>>154864623Ofc she is catwoman
>>154850847>Magica DeSpell
>>154851340They are all too short to play Starfire
>>154851304No female is hot enough. Or hot at all. What are you? Faggots?
>>154866060Brazilian girls are tall

>>154861172"Hey Mr. Welles, we think you should voice a planet that eats other planets." -- producers of Transformers: The Movie

>>154867332wrong
>>154851579Muthafuka, the most racist men love other races' women.
>>154868728This. I think 90% of interracial couples are racists who get off on dominating or submitting to an "exotic jungle animal". Simply because racism is natural and present in everyone while the opposite (tolerance) is a behavior you need to actively reinforce all your life. Because a hundred thousand years of evolution yelling from your brain that anyone who doesn't look like you is a guy from another tribe who wants to cave your skull in and take your resources doesn't just vanish because you watched a couple of PSAs as a kid.
>>154850847Surprised nobody has mentioned Funky Flashman being a jab at Stan LeeNot cape but Cerebus is full of celebrity inspired characters Prince Mick is Mick Jagger, Regency Elf is Debbie Harry, Lord Julius is Groucho Marx, etcTanner Clark from Amelia Rules is also based on Liz Phair
>>154862954Old comic creators dated showgirls. New comic creators get divorced and make it everyone's problem. What the FUCK happened?
>>154870288Feminism. Also progressive ideology created by Jews who have grown to fear the white race after the Holocaust and want it dissolved genetically and destroyed culturally.
Always some culture war schizorant
>>154870767Well what's your idea? People just stopped liking fun things and entertainers forgot their job was to entertain?
>>154870880How the fuck does that A correlate to this B?
>>154871241My idea makes sense, you didn't present one. The second post is me presenting the only idea that would make sense in a world where no harmful anti-male and anti-White influence is being had on culture.
>>154851182Not really, the real inspiration for Peter was Tony Curtis.>>154852947Ditko was a man that valued his privacy. If he had a romantic life with other girls, that was his business
>>154867919lmao, thanks for sharing.
>>154851224I don't really see it.
>>154871772Your idea only makes sense if you're off your anti-psychotics
