Shōnen Jump: The Death Note & Ryuk
Public Domain: The Naughty List & Krampus
To some, getting put on The Naughty List has the mundane punishment of coal. But to others, it is a death sentence. Being naughty means a visit from the Christmas devil. The anti-Santa. Krampus. Krampus comes to the naughty's home and beats the naughty with birch rods. Then carries them off to his home. The underworld. Sometimes to have a Christmas feast of his own with human flesh as the main course. So beware naughty folks. The Krampus will see you soon.
Fun fact: He's the son of Hel, the Norse goddess of the underworld.

Ubisoft: Rayman
DC: Arm-Fall-Off-Boy & The Detachable Kid
Public Domain: Captain Marvel (M.F. Enterprises)
Roger Winkle seems to be the regular local college professor, but 10 year old Billy Baxton knows the truth. Billy knows Roger is really Captain Marvel. An android from a destroyed planet sent to earth to escape destruction. By simply saying, "Split", his body parts would detach. Once he says, "Xam", his body comes back together.
As you've probably guessed, a rename is needed. No need to get sued by DC and Marvel.

Nintendo: Rainbow Road
Public Domain: Bifröst
The rainbow bridge that connects Asgard with Midgard. No mortal or Jötunn may pass. Only the gods and the worthy souls destined for Valhalla may use the bridge.
But if you wanted to cross the bridge there are several things preventing you. Heimdall, the Bifröst's all-seeing guardian, may stop you. But if you can dodge him long enough you must be careful of the red on the rainbow bridge. It is made up of the most intense flame.
Don't fall off the bridge either. There lies the boiling rivers. Not to mention there's the gods and mightiest fallen warriors that cross the bridge daily. But when Ragnarök comes the bridge will finally break.

Disney: Jack Skellington & Oogie Boogie
Marvel: Mantis & Drax
Public Domain: Kimar & Voldar (Santa Claus Conquers the Martians)
Kimar is king of the martians and has noticed that something is wrong with the children of Mara. They appear to be troubled, they don't sleep, they don't eat. Kimar is advised by the ancient Martian sage that Mars needs a Santa Claus figure to heal the children of Mars. Allow them to have free thought joy, and fun.
Voldar is not for this since he sees that it may weaken the Martian society. Free thought does not fuel the war machine he sees Mars to be. Fun, joy, and free thought doesn't create perfect soldiers. Automation and programming does.
Kimar pulls rank and Voldar comes along to Earth to help kidnap Santa Claus to heal Mars. Voldar continuously tries to murder Santa and overthrow Kimar but ultimately fails.
