→{{IconSVG|Trivia}} Trivia: Updating Trivia section and separating general Hero trivia from Drew's trivia. I also added a piece of trivia about the name Sparky, since its a pretty substantial piece of DTL Fandom trivia. If we want to go back to a unified Trivia page, either let me know or simply remove the subheaders.

=== Drew ===
* The name for the [[THQ]] designed Hero, Drew, was in contention for some time in the ''Drawn to life'' community, with many members believing that "Drew" was simply a fanon name, despite THQ using the name as early as 2009 in promotional material<ref>[https://www.facebook.com/drawntolifegame/posts/learn-how-to-draw-drew-on-the-drawn-to-life-website/135751029085/ THQ using the name "Drew" for the boxart Hero]</ref>.
** The second most common name for the THQ designed Hero during this time was "Sparky", likely due to the lightning bolt on this Hero's shirt. The originator of the name "Sparky" is currently unknown, though it may simply be multiple fans coming up with the same name over time.
* In ''Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter'', statues of the Drew can be found scattered around [[Forgotten Library]] and [[Hall of Darkness]].
** The statues in Hall of Darkness are notable, as [[Wilfre]] despises the Hero and [[Creator]]. What this could truly mean is unknown.

*** Drew's design was, however, planned to be reused for the scrapped [[Unused & Removed Features/DTL3#Inflatable_Hero|Inflatable Hero]] toy. It is unknown why it was cut, though it could be because they wanted to separate from THQ's design..
