T-Rex: Angola Maldives, my superspy character who was similar but legally distinct from James Bond, frowned. He was caught up in a death trap!
T-Rex: Again!
T-Rex: "Oh bother," sighed Maldives, licking some honey off his fingers.
T-Rex: As you can tell, Maldives was also similar but legally distinct from Winnie-the-Pooh. It looked like the deadly lasers were going to make quick work of him, but then he used the Maldives symbol on his furry chest to blast out a ray of caring (in addition to previous characters, he was also similar but legally distinct from Care Bears) which got the henchman to care enough to let him go free.
T-Rex: Maldives then transformed into a giant robot jet and flew to safety.
Utahraptor: Good for him!
Utahraptor: Hey, here’s a thought: are you worried that there may be more to making a compelling original character than mashing up existing ones in a legally-dubious manner?
T-Rex: Uh, CLEARLY I share no such concerns.
T-Rex: Geez.
T-Rex: Later on Maldives turned into a chrome Terminator-esque murder robot from the future, only with a slightly different and legally distinctive shade of glowing red eyes, and all his enemies were like, "You know, I sincerely did not know that he could do that".
