He was credited as Ronny Howard in his film and television appearances from 1959 to 1973.

Ah, the 70s, the rise in popularity of martial arts and horror films, introduction of Star Wars, introduction of hip-hop, etc. Also, introduction of godlike characters (New Gods and Eternals), martial artists (Shang-Chi, Richard Dragon, Iron Fist), horror-themed characters (Ghost Rider and Etrigan the Demon), gunslinging antiheroes (Punisher and Judge Dredd), Wolverine, African-American superheroes (Luke Cage and Black Lightning), and new X-Men. To be honest, I only made this so I can make a soundtrack for this. Rule 1: All characters and songs must have debuted by 1979. Rule 2: Pick a picture from the 1970s for the characters and actors.
