Hey, guys!
It would be cool if Jetter Mars appeared as a supporting character in a new Tetsuwan Atom series?
I thought about him being a supporting character with a similar background to his original series which could act as either as an ally or rival (depending of the situation).
And it would be interesting if he had a soft spot for Uran and it would funny to see Atom's reaction about this.

That would be cool, and playing the rival angle could be funny if you give Astro a more smart mouthed attitude and make him a "tweener"

There is a difference between Atom and Mars:
Atom is more responsible and put the duty in first place, while Mars put the fun in first place.
So there is a clash of personalities when both would have to fight together.
Something which could be explorated in fanfics for example.

Actually, Mars would probably be the only one with a chip on his shoulder. He seems a bit more aggressive, or prone to violent behavior; while Atom is rarely aggressive, and only violent when necessary, or if provoked (provided his personality isn't like that of the 2003 English adaptation).

Atom is calm and reasonable (at least, most of the time). Mars has a hard time learning, since he is easily distracted, and prone to become childishly stubborn and upset if contradicted. This would probably lead to conflict in interaction between the two, with Atom trying to correct Mars' behavior, and Mars becoming progressively annoyed by this "goody-two-shoes" approach (a bit like Uran, if you think about it; only much less likely to accept any type of help with whatever trouble his behavior may cause).

I think Mars would be pretty familiar with Uran's attitude and his original design looked like a male version of Uran just to think about.
If that idea of having Mars as a supporting character then it would be cool if Dr. Yamanoue didin't died.
So, you could see the clash of personalities between him, Dr. Ochanomizu and Dr. Tenma.
If the thematic was the same as 2003 version like "a robot should never harm a human being", then we could imagine extremists trying to take advantage of Mars violence to make more convincing anti-robot ai propagandas.
