I know that is her name in Retaliation and also I believe that it shows up in one of the comics (IDW maybe?). Do you guys take that as Jinx is her code name, Kim Arashikage is just an alias that she uses, and her real birthname is still classified? Or do you think Kim Arashikage is her real birthname and this is just a mistake on the filecard?
Also, what do you guys think about Zarana's real name? In the Dreadknok Declassified series (I've read the synopsis on yojoe.com not the actual comic) she's listed as Zoe and Zander is given the name Zachary. Are these possible real first names or just fake identities assumed while they were in the orphanage? That whole series is told from the perspective of Zartan's memories, so maybe he is so messed up now that he has lost any memory of their real names. Anyone who's read the series have any thoughts on this?
Funny you should mention this, I'm just re-reading the DDP stuff at the moment.
Pretty sure, the filecard is in error. Kimi Arashikage seems to be her legit name. After all, she is Storm Shadow's cousin in almost every continuity except IDW and Arashikage is Storm Shadow in Japanese.
In regards to Dreadnoks Declassified, the first issue depicts a very young Zartan pestering his father 'Zeke' a Hollywood SFX man and low budget producer. After accidentally cutting him, Zeke sends young Zartan out to his mother 'Melanie' who's busy rehearsing lines with another actress.
His mother also calls a baby Zandar 'Zachary'. Could be Zartan's memories or a classic case of the 'Unreliable Narrator'
In any case, it's probably all moot as neither Larry Hama or IDW in general consider anything by DDP as cannon. Personally I like the mystery of not knowing Zartan et al's real names.
