    Open Source Character

    Concept » Open Source Character appears in 2 issues.

    An Open Source Character is a concept where a creator or group of creators create a character for express use in comic books or other media without concern of payment or other compensation. An Open Source Character, slightly similar to the concept of Public Domain Character, is free to use by anyone, anywhere, for any purpose.

    The Kalendarium:

    Please include the paragraph below anywhere you use the character:

    The open source character of Liberty Grand, by Christian Dimaapi, has been released to the Public Domain, and is available for use by anyone with only the following conditions: this paragraph must be included in any publication involving the character, in order that others may use this property as they wish, following the same rules as Public Domain properties. The main rule being that your version's story cannot be like the story of anyone else's version (meaning: you may not reference elements from the story you find the character in, because they belong to that story's author, and are not open source).

    Character Viability

    There are no "Liberty Grand" or "Natalie Grande" characters listed on Comic Vine, so as far as I can tell, the names are not being used in comics. Therefore, they're viable as Open Source Characters.

    As noted in the comments between terry2012 and myself, her color scheme brings Supergirl to mind, and her powers are the same as Supergirl's. In addition, I think "heat vision" is actually copyrighted by DC, but I don't remember where I read that at... I think it came up in 2013 when the original version of Superman was coming up towards being public domain.

    Thanks for reading! :^D

    She looks like a mashup between Wonder Woman and Supergirl.

    @terry2012: Yeah, you'll find close comparisons for a bunch of the ones by Dimappi. Her powers are basically Supergirl's too.
