I just got TM: B a few days ago, and have already completed the campaigns for Junkyard Dog, Crazy Eight, and Grimm. After viewing the rest of the endings on Youtube, as well as cutscenes from the previous games, I can't help but wonder, are these really the people who Calypso says they are? With Frank, he wouldn't be able to tell who he punched with the "Fatality Glove", Billy Ray Stillwell, he'd been locked up for a while, and the same goes for Grimm. Could these people all just be ordinary civilians that Calypso found, dressed up, and trapped for the contestants to kill? After all, the man's an evil genie!

Uhm....as the serious installment in an otherwise camp-tastic series of games...assume the most interesting choice for you. I played through story-mode on all of them, and decided that the idea of all of the characters was so delightful and Calypso was so magical, I liked the idea of him authentically being able to pull the strings and give Billy Ray the chance to kill the man who tried to kill him.
Yes, but according to Frank's storyline, the incident involving his face happened a while before he was put in asylum, however in the end sequence, the doctor strapped to the chair looks almost exactly like the guy in the flash back. Wouldn't the doctor have aged since the incident? Sure, magic is the best excuse, to say that he pulled the doctor from that period of time, and strapped him down to a chair, but wouldn't it be easier to just pull a random 20-something year old guy off the streets, and dress him up like a doctor so a psychopathic boxer could have his fun?
Never really occurred to me to ask that question. But I suppose it's a nit-picking question. What does it matter if Calypso got the wrong person? What matters is that they felt they got what they wanted. After all, they're all head cases.
The only difference for me is a moral one. In one scenario, you have innocent people pulled off the street so that psychos can exact revenge on who they think they are. They don't even get a chance to protest because their mouths are gagged most of the time. In another scenario, the characters are exacting revenge upon people who've wronged them. For instance, with Shadow, she got Voodoo dolls and got revenge on exactly who she wanted. With Frank, we don't know who the hell he's killing because of all the surgical get up.
