I believe the Japanese catch-copy for Geegus was "the strongest man in the cosmos;" for Dio I believe it was "the strongest living weapon in the cosmos." I'll have to dig thru my old guidebooks when I get home to double-check.

Outside of the WH series storyline, Dio was an homage to manga/anime character, Baoh.

Out of all the characters in the world to pay homage/borrow the character design from, why Baoh? Baoh must have been a lot more popular than I ever gave it credit for.

Dunno. I've always liked Baoh, but I never got the impression that it had much of a fan following (here or in Japan) -- certainly less known/popular than Guyver (here or in Japan). I do recall seeing a Japanese Baoh cosplay photo about 8-10 years ago, tho, so it had at least 1 hardcore fan. : )

Hey, Iggy -- I'm not familiar with the publication dates of the various Jojo story arcs, so I've got a question. Which came first: Dio in WH2, or Dio in his first Jojo appearance? If Jojo's Dio came first, perhaps ADK's designers decided to use an Araki-sensei chara design and give it another Araki-sensei chara name.

On a similar note, I finally had the chance to watch a significant chunk of the Hokuto no Ken anime series about a year ago, and it appeared to me that ADK's design for Zeus was inspired by Kenshirou's older brother, Raou.

Araki's Dio first appeared in December 1986, so...
