@Pass:
Eneru's appearance may be based on Eminem, though I've never noticed a similarity myself, but their personalities sure are different. Eminem is a bit too preoccupied with being an angry white boy to play a powerful God. Also, if I hear Eneru with Eminem's voice, I'm going to scream.

Well, that was disturbing.

Well, yeah, because the pic you've posted is Maynard's "alter ego" : the stage performer. In day-to-day life, Maynard is bald and wears relatively plain clothes and has a much more low-key vibe and he looks a lot more like Ener (not just the baldness but the prominent nose as well, and the "yeah, whatever" demeanor).
When Maynard's's performing on stage with either of the two bands he sings for, he decks himself out in Alice Cooper wigs and make-up (Perfect Circle) or paint and not much else (Tool). You happened to catch a pic of him in Alice-Cooper mode – but that's probably safer for this board than catching a pic of him in paint-and-not-much-else mode!
Ener has to be both low-key ("eh, whatever") and high wattage ("How dare you ignore me and sabatoge my plans!!!") and I get that vibe from Maynard --but not from Em. Em is more flat and one-dimensional. Maynard has a wider range : as a singer, a lyricist, and as an actor.
Cooler music too.Maybe he'd let me co-opt a few tunes from "Lateralus" for the soundtrack ...
