Skippy is in publishing, just like Doc Delilah. Not actually a DEVELOPER, but on the development side instead of the community side. So he's in the gray area of "kind of a dev, kind of not, but he gets a redname anyway". And they all get to pick their own redname titles.
Maybe he likes it. 
(*I am just 'assuming' he's a he. He might be a she. The central figure in the avatar is a dude, thus my assumption.)

Skippy is a better name than Robin or Speedy. You don't object to those do you?

I just can't wrap my brain around it. Picture the Justice League with Superman, Batman, Skippy, Wonder Woman..... does that work for you? |
Except some of the language is quite... coarse.
Anyways, if somebody named Skippy Sidekick showed up at YOUR door, would you take the chance that it's going to be the cake walk you think it is, or what are the chances that they took that name just to throw you completely off guard?

They may have been called the Super Friends, but clearly they were the Justice League, and they had Robin as part of the team.

Yes. I can get lost on a straight-line map.
We'll be glad that Skippy's about if any of the other devs fall down a well/over a cliff edge.

The name sounds fine to me. Personally I'd want Fusionette for my red name, but that's just me and I bet it's already taken.

Yeah, Skippy made it into some syndication markets in the States. But as I recall, there were not a lot of open wells in the Outback for anyone to fall into. |

Skippy was pretty dang fast, too, if memory serves. A motivated kangaroo can also put quite the whooping on you, so Skippy would have been good for more than just rescue message delivery when events warranted it.
"How do you know you are on the side of good?" a Paragon citizen asked him. "How can we even know what is 'good'?"
"The Most High has spoken, even with His own blood," Melancton replied. "Surely we know."

I have to admit I LOL when I saw his name and also that I can't take anything he says seriously. Mainly because each time I read his name I'm remembered of the guy in the High School Super Heroes movie...

I love the idea of Steven the dev, yeah.

There are worse sidekicks he could have named himself after.

haha, Marvin was so lame. You ever read Kingdom Come where he's a drunk jerk in a bar who gets punched out by the Atom? So great.

All I know about Marvin, Wendy, and Scooby-Doo the Wonder Dog I learned from Superfriends. Which isn't much since nobody in the Justice League wanted to make eye contact with them for fear of having to talk to them. They all kept thinking that some other superhero would deal with the problem and so his towel wearing self just got to wander around the Hall of Justice doing... something. I dunno. Whatever it was it must have been really freaky to creep them all out.
And how sad is it when your replacement's only power is forming inch-deep gopher moats and they're still an improvement on you?

I thnik Skippy sounds like a positive, friendly name.

I like to think that the name is a subtle jab at players who are angry that the game does not make them feel sufficiently important.
