Just curious, what proof that he used to have two arms/eyes/etc. are you talking about, pitbulllady?

Two sources, though I will only reveal ONE at this time, since the second one was basically an unauthorized "leak" that briefly appeared on an official CN/Turner Broadcasting site recently. Lauren Faust came on and explained that it was NOT supposed to be shown, since it was a "spoiler", and it was soon taken down, Out of respect for her and the whole Foster's crew, that's all I will say on that.
The other source, though, is Craig's blog, for which there is a link on this forum. If you go back to the April archives, you will see some sketches Craig made of Wilt as he was trying to come up with a design for that character. Some show Wilt still in bandages, others look very little like the Wilt we now know and love and some are even downright disturbing, but there are also two sketches of Wilt as we know him now, what I like to think of as a "Before" and "After" drawing. One shows Wilt as he appears on the show, with the exception that he has BOTH eyes and BOTH arms and no scars, and the other, of course, shows him exactly as he is now-missing his left arm and left eye, with those scars on each side of his face.
Trust me on this-Wilt was NOT created the way he is now, though what happened to him will have to wait for Thanksgiving Day to be revealed. I think that given Wilt's sometimes-odd behavior, and the presence of suture scars(which is something most little kids are not going to think of, even a kid who has been through surgery or injuries themselves), it would have been a major "cop out", as they said back in the '70's, to have had it revealed in this upcoming movie that Wilt had been imagined as a one-armed, one-eyed basketball player, and that everything he does now, from his compulsive apologizing to him saying he is "going to punish myself", was simply his behavior by default.
