Ziggy is a manifestation of an alien that is trying to spread a message of hope as humanity ends. Omega (the character from MA) is himself an alien who falls to earth and is then abducted and forced to be in a rock band (and that doesn't begin to scrape the surface of the story told in that album). Does that really sound like he copied him
? Manson was very outspoken about the influence Bowie had on the image and sound of that album, but to say he copied him is straight up stupid. Nicki/Kim is a whole different situation.
