If you do a Hulk-like character and can't use the name because of copyright fears, you fish around for something that has the same kinda feel. Freak is what came up. He was designed to be a characature. True, he does look like a very overdone muscle man, but with morphs like ogre, etc, the idea was for a fantasy figure. A freaky one. A comic book type one. It's not insulting to any given group of real people, so let the name stand. It's not like they called him Brucie or Sambo or Sister Mary Margaret. May the gods help us when we get a "Freakette"... just kidding. I mean, seriously, who'd have the genital fortutude to actually do one (grin)?
