The first iteration of this character appeared in Earth-616, then one (possibly from Earth-61610, a merged version of Earth-616 and Earth-1610) appeared in Earth-15513 (Battlerealm), and now we have this one.

When they say that an uniform will be based on the same character, doesn't really mean it will be the same character. Like, it's still a Ghost Rider. The Ghost Rider is the character here, and had many iterations through the years, the undead G-Man being one of them. Do you get what I mean?

Anyway, do these alternate costumes characters have a different story for themselves? Like, a character bio or a in-game story that's theirs, showing they aren't the same characters to whom they serve as an alternate costume? Not really. If that was the case, then Miles Morales would've been a uniform for Spider-Man, and Jane Foster would've been a uniform for Thor. And only Roberta was given to Steve out of the many Captain America uniforms (MODOK, Bucky, Punisher, Falcon). (Btw, both Miles and Jane were released AFTER NetMarble came out and said they'd no longer do the whole "shared name = costume" like they did with the 2099 Uniforms and Henry/Mike Deathlok.) That's because of the character models used to make them and their set of powers, not because of the characters themselves. Capdoc and Spidoc aren't even alternate versions of M.O.D.O.K., they are based on a Captain America and Spider-Man (respectively) from an issue of ... But both are still alternate costumes of M.O.D.O.K. and not of Cap or Spidey or their own character. Plus, it wouldn't make sense to give a CapBucky and a CapFalcon alternate costume to CapSteve and not give any other costumes to Bucky and Falcon themselves, so there's that too.

Just a name mentioning something about it, either where they're from (like Undead G-Man being from Inhumans: Attilan Rising), the name of the outfit (like Hank Pym/Giant-Man's alternate Goliath costume), etc. The only alternate costumes that even show up in the storyline regardless of what you have equipped on your characters are Ultron Prime and Bobbi Morse (AoS version).

So at the very least, the Undead G-Man of Earth-TRN012 is in fact Johnny Blaze. The uniform is based on the Earth-61610 version, but it doesn't mean it is him. ;) Venom's zombie uni is based on his Earth-2149 version, but there's no zombie plague in the world of the game, so that Venom's obviously not there... Or it's not contagious, which would be an interesting development. I asked this because I think we shouldn't have created pages for some of those alternate costume characters. If they really have a story themselves, their own background and all, then yes, a page should be created for them. Otherwise, no. What do you think, should we merge these pages and rename their images?
