* SoulBrotha: Superfly Johnson. Just the fact that his name was taken straight from a {{Blaxploitation}} [[Film/SuperFly movie]] should already make him qualify. According to [[https://www.salon.com/2002/01/02/ion_storm/ this article]] by one of the game's original writers, the character's "name" was Superfly Williams - a tribute to the blaxploitation series and Jim Kelly's character from ''Film/EnterTheDragon''. Initially conceived as a French character named after the few surviving cultural documents existing in the post-apocalyptic future, the end of the game would have seen him learn his true identity. After that writer left, the laziest possible route was taken.
