Recently I was digging around a bit, trying to learn more about Adria (a character I've always found fascinating, even before we knew she was part of the D3 storyline). Imagine my surprise when I stumbled across this link:
I'm not well versed in Marvel characters, but she seems to have been a rather obscure minor villain. But this is certainly the first I've heard of Adria being anyone other than the enigmatic NPC we remember. Has this ever been discussed before?
Oh, I don't think the character was "stolen", but I just wondered if Chris Metzen perhaps created Adria in homage to this character. I don't recall seeing this before and was kind of surprised when it was the first site listed by Chrome when I searched "Adria the Witch".
I don't know whether Metzen is responsible for Adria's creation or not, but he has been there since the beginning. He's listed in the credits of my Diablo I manual under "Script & Story". Also, if you do a search on his name you'll find quite a lot on him, detailing his career with Blizz.
Whoever created Adria, this is pretty interesting. I wish I'd stumbled across this before BlizzCon, I would have asked someone attending the lore panel to ask the team about Adria.
