Lento, the title character of my comic.
Design Inspiration:
Batman (Batman) - Isn't it obvious?
Classic Sonic (Sonic the Hedgehog) - Sonic 2 was special for being the first video game I was introduced to and I did like Sonic's design before his 3D days. While the classic Sonic inspiration was probably more subliminal, I'll include it anyway.
Gligar (Pokemon) - The whole wing, demonoid thing sort of kickstarted the base image of Lento. The superhero element comes more from Batman.
Personality:
Eddy (Ed, Edd & Eddy) - Lento is opportunistic and capitalizing.
Stan (South Park) - Lento's also sort of the "straight man" in the comic, as well as not being sucked in to its trends (but capitalizes them instead, which sort of where the Eddy comes in.)
Dee Dee (Dexter's Laboratory) - Lento can behave erratically and silly towards certain other people and locations.
