That really gets back to roundabout with the character pages for the character in film and such. Last swing through it seemed the direction was to credit them to the creators of the comic book inspiration and the creators of the adapted version, if known.

That works real well with most characters - Superman, Batman, Green Arrow, etc, it's straight forward. Then there are those that fall into the above mess.

Given my own duthers I'd fall back on: The amalgams though... those are a pain. Arrow ' s Tockman is more an adaptation of Fugate than the comic book character. And it is looking more and more that Gotham ' s writers are adding small pieces to Barbara to deal with aspects of Montoya's character.
 * Writer of the adapted material for the "In Name Only" cases. A situation of Fugate is essentially the same as a legacy character in the comics. And
 * In the case of a name swap it would be the actual original character with a note about the swap.
