It won't be a wasted exercise, though - I'm always coming up with ideas for new characters, and a good writer can take inspiration from almost anywhere!

Lives in a car and made a suit of armour out of car-trash,
Spits trash at bad guys through a small crack,

I'm going to sell this idea to Nah-na-na-na-na-na-na-nah-netttttfliiix!"
