So, some years ago, John Byrne (and the members of this forum) gave me expert advice on improving my comic work. Mr. Byrne has done traditional comic art (drawing) but also used other mediums to illustrate in (CGI and Photomanipulation). 

You can't choose "to be" or "not to be" a role model. You get chosen.
So I locked in on John Byrne as I found his perspective on comics and the surrounding history of comics to be a foundational guide.

I made a character in my comic with his name and somewhat likeness.
A powerful and martial-arts-skilled arch-nemesis named Mr. Byrne that specializes in all-things-pyro-related. It seemed like a good idea when I did it- a wonderful thank you, but now I'm not so sure how it would go over.

As my book is in its final editing stages, I figured I'd ask before I made an unforgiveable error in judgement.
