*Some fanfiction has presented the hypothesis that [[Tom Sloane]] and Charles know each other, either because Charles had frequented [[Fielding Preparatory Academy]] or because their respective families had met, assuming the Ruttheimers to be on the same social level as the Sloanes (and a step or two higher on the social scale than Daria and most of their classmates).
* In the [[Legion of Lawndale Heroes]] universe, the Charles Ruttheimer there (who is only rarely referred to as 'Upchuck' anymore) has developed into possibly the most well-rounded version of the character in the [[Daria Multiverse]]. He has responded very well to the physical and academic training that he has received as a Legionnaire, (as well as evolved beyond the needpositive for his high-school personality.

This Charles still enjoys all of the things he was involved in before his Legion life (his infatuation with all things Three Stooges and James Bond, his fast-food merchandise collectibles, and his interest in online role-playing games), but also has allowed himself to expand his horizons. Ashe has become more well-rounded, he has also finally had his 'growth spurt', and now stands just overat six feet in height. He has an unusual quality that (to the dismay and utter disbelief of the female Legionnaires) makes him quite interesting to many young women; he has begun to enjoy this attention, and has recently begin dating [[Langston Chambers]]. (Because of the fact that Langston lives in Alaska, they have decided to not become too serious.) He has also come under the interested eyes of [[Tainn Reynolds]], [[Chandni Kaur]], and [[Elsie Sloane]].
* Also, some fan works have presented the theme of Charles having a crush on [[Daria Morgendorffer|Daria]]. This is based on Upchuck's web page in ''[[The Daria Diaries]]'', in which can be seen a 'woman of mistery' in silhouette whose profile is obviously Daria. This has been played both innocently and romantically (e.g. [[Identity Crisis]] by [[Yui Daoren]]) and with darker tones ([[Falling Into College]] serial, by [[Richard Lobinske]])
