Answer:
Scott Kurtz, the man behind the well-known webcomic PvP ( player versus player), drew this strip, with a character called Onomatopoeia ( which is a figure of speech, btw).
A character with the same name, and similar appearance ‘co-incidentally’ existed in the DC Universe ( DC = 600, apologies).
When made aware of this fact, he promptly changed the name and the character.

Okay, the basic funda u r looking for, the first comic had the character called “Onamotapoeia” (however it is spelt) which the creator thought was a completely original creation.
But, the fans thought that it was supposed to be a shout-out to the Kevin Smith created character who appeared in Green Arrow (and more recently in “Batman: Cacophony”).
So, the comic was changed to include “The Palindrome” and the Kevin Smith reference was removed.
If ever i wanted proof that i read too many comic books and webcomics, this question provided me with it

There already was a character named Onomatopoeia ( the one blanked out ) and Scott Kurtz , hence , had to redesign d character
