Sub List Choice
Tawky Tawny should be on the list of mutated animals, for Primeval sake. Along with Sniffles the Mouse.

Religion of "Love and Rockets" Characters
As far as I can tell, you have only one character listed from Jaime Hernandez' 'Locas' series from "Love and Rockets." That character is Hopey Glass, whose 'religious' affiliation you give as 'LGBT.' Despite your attempt to define it as such, LGBT is not a religion. Hopey is an areligious punk hedonist, but her religious upbringing was apparently Catholic. Her mother comes from Colombia, an overwhelmingly Catholic country, and as a child Hopey attended a Catholic school. (See J. Hernandez, "Maggie the Mechanic," Seattle: Fantagraphics Books, 1997, p. 117.) Of the original 'Locas,' Isabel Ortiz Reubens (Izzy), Penny Century (born Beatriz Garcia), and Maggie Chascarrillo are all Mexican-American and born Catholic. Izzy dabbles in the occult and renounces the church, but she still uses Catholic symbolism to protect herself against the demons who haunt her. Maggie does not attend church, but she still becomes godmother to her nieces and nephews. (See J. Hernandez, 'Locas II", Seattle: Fantagraphics Books, 2009, pp. 249-252, and J. Hernandez, 'The Love Bunglers,' in 'Love and Rockets: New Stories,' Vol. 3, p. 97.) Another of the Locas, Theresa Leeanne (Terry) Downe, is of British and German ancestry. She has a dream/vision of herself as a saint, possibly Saint Theresa. This suggests that Terry may have been raised Catholic as well. (See J. Hernandez, "The Girl From H.O.P.P.E.R.S.," Seattle: Fantagraphics Books, 2007, p. 202.) One acquaintance describes Terry as "a good Christian," but she is apparently a punk hedonist like her (ex) lover Hopey.

Magneto
Magneto is Jewish - the Roma bit was a retcon that has since been further retconned away. However, his wife, Magda, was Roma and his children Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch are ethnic Roma. We don't know about his other child, Polaris, who is illegitimate. Magneto is evidently a secular, atheistic Jew because he states in Uncanny X-Men #150 that he lost his faith in the existence of God as a result of the Holocaust.

Jay Leno is actually...
Jay Leno said he is Presbyterian. People think he is Roman Catholic because of his Italian heritage.
