Notably, were you to give him the same identity as Joker, you couldn't draft the two of them in the same army.

Though I suppose you might argue that he'd never willingly work with someone like Joker anyway.

Yeah, SI stuff is kinda in a weird spot thematically. Characters like Hooded Justice should probably be blackmailable and they're definitely in Sam's Halloween spirit, but if you give them no SI (our standard for when we don't know a character's name), they don't count for either. Could give him an SI of Unknown, ??, or ???? if we wanted him to be co-draftable with Joker.

[Lord Pyre]

Not a fan of extra question marks. That's extremely cheesy. I'd rather just remove the marks from Joker's card, since it's an outdated practice.

[Ronin]

Yeah, let's not go down the road of ?? and ??? and ???? and so on being separate characters.

Good catch, IAmBatman!

And I agree, the ?'s are cheesy, and wouldn't mind them removed. But also, Joker isn't so serious, so I have no preference.

I tricked myself into thinking ???? was a consistency thing after looking at Bullseye's card, but I think Unknown is a great SI.

And anytime this sort of thing happens, there's always synonyms.

V from V for Vendetta is a similar type of character from Alan Moore. He could be anyone. Would his SI be Anonymous, or nothing? Hypothetical, since I'm not proposing a design.

Was thinking about Ghostface from Scream being added to the Slashers.
Since that's a disguise that is worn by 1-2 people each movie, always changing who,
Various could be a cool SI, as an Uncommon hero, allowing multiple Ghostfaces in an army, with a special ability to start rounds replacing Various with one of a few different SI's that have different attributes, allowing them to work together, and the opponent to never be sure who is under the mask, or if they really killed the Identity they thought they did.

[MrNobody]

Joker from the Tangent Elseworlds is a similar character. It's kept ambiguous if she's Lori Lemaris, Mary Marvel, Madame Xanadu, or all 3.

[IAmBatman]

Are there any comics for Scream?

I don't believe Uncommons typically have SIs, so I'd just go without an SI. I do agree with Uncommon for them, though, or possibly a Unique Squad where only one figure at a time is on the battlefield? It's not like they're particularly tough in combat.

[Lord Pyre]

Yeah don't need an SI for characters we don't know about, or for uncommons. Scourge of the Underworld is our precedence for this.

I don't believe so, unfortunately. Definitely a name that's been tossed out a few times.

Googling around got me this pic. I can tell it's related to the Dead By Daylight video game because of the other guy, but I don't exactly know what the source is.

Nice find!
That signature at the bottom matches up with the twitter account that posted it, which is the account of a Dōjinshi author, who has a Dead By Daylight gag manga available for purchase at melonbooks, which apparently is one of the top two Dōjinshi shops in Japan.

Dōjinshi is the Japanese term for self-published works, usually magazines, manga or novels. Dōjinshi are often the work of amateurs, though some professional artists participate as a way to publish material outside the regular industry. -Wikipedia

Searching through twitter, it has enough of a fan base that people are tweeting out pics + enthusiasm of their issues arriving.

Under Approved Properties,
Freddy and Jason (and other slasher characters with published comics)

So while published, I'm not sure that meets the standard. And if I were to guess, I'd guess it doesn't.

[FreshFoods]

Handle, I respect the deep dives you do for info

Agreed on it not meeting the standard unfortunately. Ghostface could be a cool addition to the Slashers. Are there any other horror movie icons that would be eligible for C3G? The Thing? Candyman? Spooky little girl from The Ring? Uh...Jaws? LOL
