PB has it! Conway's Firelord was a prototype for Firestorm in terms of look and grandiose powers, and he later took hat he thought were some of the memorable aspects and infused th into his creation of Firestorm!

yes!

BUT ! I'm horrible at coming up with these.

ok here goes:

What real person had to have their name changed because they shared it with a popular comic book character?

they were also partly the inspiration for the character.

got it! too easy?

she was a colleague of Byrne's at college, and he thought the name was cool. he got her permission to one day use it for a character.

the comics character was meant to look like an adolescent Sigourney Weaver, and had some of the personality of Louise Simonsen's daughter. created with Chris Claremont.

the real Kitty is now KD Pryde because she got too much attention ...

Madelyn Pryors hair style was based on Louise Simonsen's though. heh heh

Lardy's turn.

Okay, I'm thinking this one may perhaps be really easy:

Who was Sigurd Jarlson and what necessitated his creation?

Thor's secret identity when Odin removed the Don Blake enchantment. It was essentially Thor with glasses, Walt Simonson's tongue in cheek dig at Clark Kent.

"Sigurd" coming from the Norse Epic and Jarlson literally meaning "son of the King".

All no's.

He's definitely not on the same level of notoriety or threat as Doom, Kang and Zemo.
