Tom Foolery

Real Name: Tom

First Appearance: November 19, 2011

Created by: Vito Delsante

Origin: "Tom Foolery" is the stage name of a modern-day Vaudeville actor who is secretly a killer. Tom stages eleborate murders, ones that require any hero to enter his "Theatre of Death," usually a stage or set built specifically for his schemes.

Notes:

• Tom Foolery is an open source character created specifically for use by anyone. Feel free to use it any way you wish however, you must give the creator, Vito Delsante, credit.
• In 2011, comic book writer Vito Delsante chose to create 35 new characters, 23 of which, he voluntarily released into the public domain in early 2014. Tom Foolery was #18.

The open source character of Tom Foolery, created by Vito Delsante, 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 Tom Foolery, 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).

There's no CV page for him, but there is a Tom Foolery in the comic The Family Dynamic.

"Tomfoolery" is in the dictionary, and I think the wordplay to make it into a name is a no-brainer. So, I'm going to say that it's still viable as an Open Source Character name. Just make sure your version isn't like someone else's version.
