One of the more interesting issues with certain names, like Mowgli, Bomba, Tarzan and Sheena, is that they are legacy names without fans knowing, due to being so subjective to reinterpretations as drastic as that of Nikos Routsos.
While the literary Kaspa is very different from his film counterpart, they do share a few or some similarities in common, as are the literary Jan and his film counterpart. The literary Bomba is even worse off, as he shares only a few things in common with his film counterpart, as is the literary+manga Classic Baruuba and his film+manga counterpart Buruuba. Even in the coming editions, Jinhaku/Barumba will have both a lean-to shelter and a hut, as well as a treehouse.
Tarzan also has a slew of successors bearing his actual name as a superhero alias. While the canonical literary+comic version will stay in his own Mythos, his successor from the Disney’s upcoming cyberpunk reboot will have to fill out a ton of newfound niches.
