Expy: He's based on Tom Cody from Streets of Fire.
Hugo and Poison join him in Ultra Street Fighter IV (although they already appeared in Street Fighter X Tekken and the Street Fighter III series), while Abigail joins the roster in V. However, after breaking up with Jessica following his arrest, Cody became very apathetic, seeing his imprisonment as a punishment for his good deeds (even though he's gotten so strong that he can escape at any time he wants).
Cody Travers is a born street fighter who became known as the 'Hero of Metro City' after rescuing his childhood sweetheart Jessica from the Mad Gear gang with help from his friend Guy and Jessica's father, Mike Haggar.
