* FranchiseOriginalSin: Before the cartoon and film became known as prime examples of {{Narm}}, it was the comic that introduced many of the concepts that were so derided in those adaptations, like a supernatural source for the Lee brother’s abilities, {{Toyetic}} outfits and vehicles, and a complete absence of any familiar characters and settings from the games, save a villain loosely based on the Mysterious Warrior from ''VideoGame/DoubleDragonII''. Of course, neither of them made Creator/StanLee Billy and Jimmy’s dad.

Is it a fight to death or just a friendly sparring competition which just happens to have the prize of Marian being the girlfriend of the winner? Jimmy's dialogue in ''Advance'' implies that it's just a friendly match, but for the longest time, people thought it was a fight to the death, never mind that both Billy and Jimmy reappear just fine in the sequel.
