We always have legal hoops to jump through whenever we use characters that originated on the Adam West series, so changing his civilian name and never actually calling him ‘King Tut‘ was a good way to by-pass all that drama.
’Fletcher Deming‘ is one of my weird little in-jokes that no one else on the planet is likely to get. Fletcher Flora and Richard Deming were both prolific Mid-Century crime fiction authors, each of whom also ghost-wrote Ellery Queen novels in the 1960s. I thought the combined name sounded reasonably like a ‘Rich Dude’ name.
