In the American "Street Fighter" comic book series, Charlie's Japanese name is made into his surname, giving him the full name of Charlie Nash. The comic goes on to include that it was in fact Charlie who taught Guile how to use the "Sonic Boom" technique, and indeed how to fight. Udon would also include Shadow as part of the comic's storyline: Bison captures Charlie, turns him into Shadow, using him as an agent. He tries to have Shadow kill Guile and Chun Li in Japan, but Charlie regains his memory in the fight and runs off. He later attempts to rejoin his friends, but is gunned down by Bison's helicopter. With the last of his strength, Charlie sacrifices himself by using his "Somersault Justice" to destroy the cliff on which they were fighting, sending both Bison and himself plunging into the sea. He also has a new comic called "Street Fighter V: The Life and Deaths of Charlie Nash" that explains what happened to him prior to "Street Fighter V" and why he looks the way he does.
